John Harper and Joseph Ismay. Passengers on the Titanic. A church minister and an executive of the White Star Line. One a hero, one a coward. Both have a story to tell.

That ill-fated crossing generated many tales of heroism and in amongst them, one or two more questionable endeavours. First-class and second-class passengers seldom came eye to eye, but as the ship slowly sunk and the panic for a lifeboat space began, these two men were cast together in a devastating drama. To book the production, please email us.

"A heartfelt and moving tribute to the heroism of the common man, and that the heart of even the richest men can be opened and brought into the light"

"I can hardly pay the author a higher compliment. My penultimate show at Fringe 2023 was an unexpected gem"

The most critically acclaimed production of C.S. Lewis' masterpiece is back! The Screwtape Letters is an award-winning satirical comedy that is now touring the UK for its 13th year. Nigel Forde's "sparkling script" and David Robinson's "impressive Screwtape" (The Stage) bring to life Lewis' classic book, which has sold millions of copies worldwide.

The story is set in Professor Screwtape's study in the timeless dominion of Hell. The play follows Screwtape's attempts to train his junior devils, including his protégé Wormwood, in the fine art of temptation. It remains faithful to the original text, characters and themes created by Lewis and holds three Edinburgh Fringe Sell-Out Show Awards.

"The performances are well honed, with Screwtape himself standing out as an embodiment of snide evil"

★★★★★ - British Theatre Guide 

"Yes Minister in space indicates not only the vibe of 'The Screwtape Letters', but also its quality"

Return to the Hiding Place

A wonderful new reimagining of Corrie Ten Boom's biographical tale of forgiveness and reconciliation in the shadows of WW2. The family bravely hide Jews in their small clock shop. The consequences are dark and devastating.

The production looks not only at the story from Corrie's viewpoint but also from a German army officer's angle as well. How do they both regard their families, their faith, the Jewish people and the occupation of Holland?

They begin in different worlds, but eventually come face to face with each other. Moving and inspiring, and relevant for today. To book the production, please email us.

The company appreciate the support and encouragement of  John & Elizabeth Sherrill.
