Cheaters - 2024

Written by Michael Jacobs

Allen and Michelle have been living together for eighteen months. It is the first real relationship for both of them. Michelle thinks they should marry; Allen isn’t sure. His hesitancy drives her home to her parents for advice. Michelle’s Father isn’t aware that it is Allen’s mother he has been seeing for the last six months, nor does Michelle’s mother know that it is Allen’s father she has just spent the night with and would like to see more of. The pieces fall uproariously into place when the parents decide to invite the young lovers over dinner to lend their maturity and experience for the benefit of their children’s relationship. It’s suddenly everyone for themselves in this wild, rollicking look at love and romance.

Audience Reactions:

Arsenic and Old Lace

The show will split your sides and rupture your spleen. It’s a dark comedy you don’t want to miss. You’ll be totally entertained. I think you’ll enjoy every minute of it.

Blithe Spirit

You'll get his trademark wit, with ectoplasm and ghosts ('My wife's funeral exhausted her!').

Blithe Spirit

Noel Coward wrote Blithe Spirit as a distraction during World War II and it’s the perfect comedic distraction for our own troubled times.

Chloe Kerr
The Sun

Mousetrap

...the succession of neatly plotted twists and the final unexpected reveal create a well-oiled comedy.

Hurtling along at the speed of light, [this] breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention.

We were in the audience @surreyartscentre last night. The play was thoroughly delightful. You were your always talented and artistic self and the audience loved you for it. We went home and checked out the 1949 Blithe Spirit movie with Margaret Rutherford. So wonderful to be back at live theatre. Thank you to all who made this happen.
