BLACK DOG PRODUCTIONS IN ASSOCIATION WITH
BEYOND THE HORIZON
Orphan By Russell Eccleston
Thu 16 – Sat 18 May • 7.30pm • Full £14 Concs £12
Professional Theatre
“I never had a chance. They’d made up their mind about me from the
moment they opened that door and found me bawling on the step.”
Black Dog Productions in association with Beyond The Horizon
present Orphan, a new play from “the bold, refreshing voice” of
Russell Eccleston.
A small town in Georgia: a nameless Orphan returns to the
orphanage where he was raised hoping that he can cauterise the
wound that has been festering in him since he was a child. His friend
Patience is brought along, on the grounds that she might find some
sense of closure. When they bump into their old Caretaker who
has information about their dark past, Orphan’s true motives start
to become clear and Patience begins to lose control. Are sins ever
forgiven? Or do sins simply beget more sins?
Originally produced by Black Dog Productions in 2018 to huge
audience and critical acclaim, Orphan will leave you questioning the
true meaning of ‘family’.
MERRIMAN PRODUCTIONS
One Man Two Guvnors
By Richard Bean, based on The Servant to
Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni
Wed 22 – Sat 25 May • 7.30pm • Full £12
Community Theatre
Merriman Productions present Richard Bean’s
award-winning play – a glorious celebration of
British comedy: a unique, laugh-out-loud mix of
satire, songs, slapstick and glittering one-liners.
Brighton, 1963; an easily confused Francis
Henshall becomes separately employed by two
men – Roscoe, a local gangster and Stanley
Stubbers, an upper-class criminal. However,
Roscoe is really Rachel Crabbe in disguise, her
twin brother Roscoe having been killed by her
lover, none other than Stanley Stubbers.
Meanwhile, Pauline was originally meant to marry
Roscoe but is now set to elope with over-the-top amateur actor Alan Dangle. All Francis has to do is
stop them all from meeting each other... Simple?!
