RAIN OR SHINE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENT:
​
Agatha Appleton and the Peril of the Pyramids
​
It’s the early 1930s and librarian Agatha Appleton finds herself embroiled in a hilarious Egyptian adventure that will test her courage, her wits, and her heart. Can our hero outsmart her enemies and uncover the mysteries of the ancient world? Or will she fall victim to the deadly traps and curses that guard the Mummy’s tomb? From the team that gave you ‘Around The World in 80 Days’ and ‘Sherlock Holmes and The Music Hall Mystery’ comes a good old-fashioned slice of Archaeological adventure heavily laced with our trademark silliness.
Join Rain or Shine this Winter for an evening of side-splitting spills and thrills in a theatrical tour-de-force for all the family.

An Evening of Three One-Act Plays

COUNTDOWN by Alan Ayckbourn

​
AN ACTOR’S NIGHTMARE by Christopher Durang - Directed by Clare Brett - George wanders on stage and is met by stage manager Meg, who says he is to fill infor an actor who has had an accident. But what in? Is this a nightmare, or something even more sinister? Taking its inspiration from the nightmare that actors of any
background will have suffered – appearing on stage without having prepared – Durang‘s taut, smart comedy wields theatre history like an executioner’s blade.
​
PROMISES, PROMISES by Ken Cooper
A recently deceased man finds himself at the pearly gates of heaven and learns of the unusual entry requirements.
​
KNOCKIN’ ON DAVE’S DOOR by Neil Webster – Directed by Ken Cooper. American singer/songwriter, Bob Dylan, flies to London to visit his friend, Dave Stewart – one half of The Eurythmics. Confused by the many similar street names in Crouch End, Dylan calls at the wrong house – that of Dave, a plumber, and a serious Bob Dylan fan.
