Until November 19 - The Lavender Hill Mob
The men who broke the bank and lost the cargo are back!

November 22-26 - Mrs Warren's Profession
Caroline Quentin and her real-life daughter Rose Quentin star in George Bernard Shaw's acid test of a mother-daughter relationship.
Written in 1894 but banned for thirty years by a Lord Chamberlain who found it 'immoral and improper', Mrs Warren's Profession is a ripe attack on English hypocrisy and its 'fashionable morality'.
Mrs Warren's daughter Vivie has never really known much about her mother. How will Vivie react when she finds out the startling truth about her mother's business empire and the origins of money that has financed her comfortable upbringing.
