Robert Simon, once a stage manager in a provincial repertory company, is keeping house for his wife – a West End actress – while he amuses himself with various sexual adventures.

However, a psychiatrist’s intervention destroys his marriage and he plans a terrible revenge, which lets him rediscover his theatrical talents.

Chris Butler said: “This is a very clever thriller, first performed in 1979 and starring Alan Bates as Robert.

“I have assembled a strong cast, led by Simon Bonsor as Robert, supported by Rebecca Warnett, Stuart Finlayson, and returning member Tony Godden.”

Performances start at 7.45pm.

Tickets cost £8.50 for members and £10 for non-members.
