Haulbowline Theatre Group presents an evening of dark comedy and poignant drama at Christchurch Rushbrooke.

A Small Family Murder by Simon Brett, directed by Pat Mahony, follows a police investigation into the suspicious death of an elderly woman. As her husband and two sons are questioned, family secrets begin to surface in this sharply observed black comedy.

The Nightingale and Not the Lark by Jennifer Johnston, directed by Ann Gibbs, takes us inside a darkened theatre, where its caretaker reflects on her life onstage and the successful actor who returns to her through memory.
