This sparklingly light classic Coward comedy is celebrating its 100th year of continuous performance (somewhere in the world) in 2025. The Bliss family – Judith and David and their grown-up children Simon and Sorel – are all artistically inclined, selfish, bad mannered and prone to histrionics. One Saturday they each casually announce that they have invited a guest for the weekend. Each is furious and determined to make life as uncomfortable as possible for all but their own guest. The ensuing row succeeds in sending their terrified guests scuttling away by the first train the following morning, while the Bliss’s carry on amicably as if nothing has happened.

Group Booking: 10 tickets available for the price of 9.
For tickets of more than 20 please contact the Box Office on 01883 349850 (Monday to Saturday, 10am–1pm). Group bookings can be made earlier than the onsale date by calling the Box Office.
