SUMMARY:Why God Created Lesbians by Clare Summerskill
DESCRIPTION:Why God Created Lesbians by Clare Summerskill \nSaturday 10th May 2025\n7:00 PM – 8:45 PM \nClare Summerskill returns to UK theatres with a brilliant new show for 2025: Why God Created Lesbians  \nIn her brand-new one-woman show\, Clare Summerskill attempts to explain the point of the perplexing sexual minority to which she belongs\, asking why lesbians exist? Is it to ease the pressure on cat rescue centres? Is it to ensure that Shibden Hall remains a viable tourist attraction? Or is it to write one-woman comedy shows featuring songs\, stand-up and storytelling? After decades of field research\, she thinks she has the answer. \nExpect silliness\, satire and self-deprecation from crowd-pleaser Clare Summerskill as she hits the road with her funniest show yet. Clare will share the previously unheard story of the lesbian squirrel on the Ark\, forced to take up a complaint about compulsory heterosexuality with Noah himself; and she will finally uncover the Almighty’s real opinion about women-loving-women.   \nA packed comedy show from ‘one of the funniest women in the country’ (What’s On) with a keen fanbase across the UK (gay and straight!). Clare has previously written for BBC Radio 4’s Weekending and Heated Rollers and toured her shows to theatres in the UK and the US.   \nPraise for Clare Summerskill’s previous shows: \n‘Engaging and Charming’ Time Out\n‘A lesbian Victoria Wood’ Woman’s Hour\n‘Fantastic show\, hilarious\, witty\, intelligent and moving’ ***** Audience member\n‘Gritty\, funny comedy – great evening’ ***** Audience member\n‘What are you waiting for? Grab your tickets now!’ Diva  \nFor all booking inquiries please contact: claresummerskill@gmail.com | www.claresummerskill.co.uk  \nTICKETS AVAILABLE \n

SUMMARY:Double Bill of One Act Plays
DESCRIPTION:DOUBLE BILL OF ONE ACT PLAYS  \nOct 6th – 11th 2025 \nBlue Remembered Hills by Dennis Potter \nDirector Jenny Gore \nIt’s a hot summer’s day in 1943 and seven children play\, laugh\, sing and cry somewhere in the woods just before tea-time. In a whirl of constant activity\, their lives are brim-full of joy and horror\, anxiety and delight. \nDennis Potter’s affectionate study captures the traumas of childhood beneath the apparently innocent surface. He reminds us that adults are children who have simply substituted subtlety for spontaneity. \nThat rose-tinted nostalgia for the ‘blue remembered hills’ of our youth is not always justified. \n  \nLemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons by Sam Steiner \nDirected by Gil Burns  \nThe average person will speak 123\,205\,750 words in a lifetime. But what if there were a limit? This play imagines a world where we’re forced to say less. \nSam Steiner tells the story of Bernadette and Oliver\, a young couple trying to come to grips with a society that has an imposed limit in which each person is only allowed to use up to 140 words in a single day. It explores this imposition from their two perspectives as they negotiate life\, love and conflict with ever less options on how to communicate their feelings. \nThe non-linear narrative flits from past to present\, exploring how the couple navigate through turbulent waters as Steiner strips the text and the characters to their emotional core. \nTICKETS AVAILABLE \nPoster Design – Hannah Stow

SUMMARY:LipService presents Funny Stuff
DESCRIPTION:LipService presents \nFunny Stuff \nWritten & performed by Sue Ryding \nSue Ryding is one half of legendary comedy duo LipService. In 2022 her comedy partner Maggie Fox died\, and Sue was left with a shipping container full of stage props\, costumes\, wigs\, hats\, shoes\, sheep\, you name it. This show looks at all the “stuff” we accumulate\, hoard and hate to let go. In this humorous and creative response to grief\, Sue struggles to part with a life-sized stuffed sheep\, a badger onesie\, some ruby slippers\, a sinking bog\, Charlotte Bronte’s knickers and a host of soft toys. Touring anecdotes are combined with archive footage from LipService shows. Not all the items will be making it back up the loft ladder\, so the audience is invited to take something home. Come along and help Sue on her journey of letting go. \nTICKETS AVAILABLE HERE
