Calendar Girls
Between Friday 26 April 2024 and Saturday 4 May 2024
When Annie’s husband John dies of leukaemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade a group of ordinary women, in a small Yorkshire town Women’s Institute, to do an extraordinary thing and make an artistic nude calendar to raise money for charity.
Based on the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukaemia Research Fund, Calendar Girls opened at the Chichester Festival theatre and has since become the fastest selling play in British theatre history. The true story of the Calendar Girls launched a global phenomenon, a million copycat calendars, a record breaking movie, a stage play and a musical.
Warkworth Theatre Group is fund raising for Harbour Hospice Tui House. 10% of all ticket sales, gala opening night raffles and all donations received will go to Harbour Hospice Tui House.

The action begins at 10pm at night on a very rainy evening. After losing his hat out of the window of a speeding train, Teddie Deakin pulls the emergency brake, the train stops at a remote station in the middle of Cornwall, accidentally stranding himself and 5 other passengers. With no more trains, no buses, no taxis, or hotels, the 6 of them are forced to spend the night in the station waiting room. Into this mix arrives a disturbed woman, seemingly escaping from the clutches of her sibling and a doctor. Both of whom soon arrive searching for her. All against the backdrop of the soon to arrive Ghost Train and pending tragedy.
The Ghost train has been a long running success in London and on Broadway and packed with thrills, chills, laughter, surprises, and ghostly goings on.

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
Between Friday 25 November 2022 and Sunday 18 December 2022
Ali Baba falls for the Sultan's daughter and determines to impress her by retrieving valuables stolen by a band of thieves. Unfortunately, the thieves have other ideas. Ali has Salma, the resourceful servant girl, a Genie, a camel with integral SatNav, and, of course, his mother to call on, but what he really needs is an audience to help him win through!
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves is a British pantomime with magic, spectacle, music, visual jokes,
slapstick and verbal humour. The pantomime grew out of the old music hall tradition, adapted for family viewing – as a result there are some jokes which have double meanings.
Please note evening performances start at 7.00pm, and matinees at 2.00pm

Well.... suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited.....
