What’s On

2024

Thursday March 7th – 7.30pm
The film “Fair Play”
TICKETS

For anyone who has ever thought “I have no time for myself” or “this isn’t the career and marriage combo deal I thought I’d have” Eve Rodsky has been there.  Inspired by her bestselling book, the documentary film Fair Play takes a deep look at domestic inequity. By making the invisible care-work historically held by women visible, Fair Play inspires a more equitable and intentionally balanced future for all.

Eve takes us on her journey to change the unfair work dynamic in her own home and in society at large. By following three families on their own journeys to find balance at home, we see how even the smallest fights around dirty dishes are actually linked to systemic issues affecting millions of families across the globe.

Written, produced, and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom (Miss Representation, The Mask You Live In) and in partnership with Hello Sunshine, Fair Play features experts including Melinda French Gates and the US Representative from California Katie Porter. Fair Play demonstrates how private lives are public issues.

March 8th and 9th – 7.30pm

Two

Written by Jim Cartwright
Directed by Martyn Buck

A bickering husband and wife and the dozen regulars who pass through their pub in an evening are played by only a few actors. Each vignette skillfully combines pathos and humor. When a boy is left behind by his father, a fragile reconciliation occurs as their own dark tragedy is revealed.

July 31st and August 1st, 2nd and 3rd

Blithe Spirit

Written by Noel Coward
Directed by David Foster

A smash comedy hit on London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives offers wit, conflict and big laughs as a fussy, cantankerous novelist  finds himself haunted by the ghost of his late first wife.
