Simon Sudgebury (Kevin Tomlinson) has been scamming older ladies forcing them to buy expensive alarm systems in order to earn a huge bonus. 75-year-old Flora Parkin (Marlene Sidaway) isn't the kind to let anyone take advantage of her. When the salesman shows up at her door, he quickly finds out that, with the help of her 72-year-old lover George (Ian Redford), she's running something bigger and more dangerous than her trinket-lined household.

Following their hugely successful production of Spiral last year, Veritas Theatre returns to Park Theatre in collaboration with KEPOW! Theatre with their production of Beneath The Blue Rinse, a wickedly funny, high octane comedy about growing old passionately and disgracefully. The production runs from 21st May - 15th June, with the official press night being held on Friday 24th May at 7pm.

In the programme notes for her darkly disturbing new play Spiral, Abigail Hood quotes a plea she discovered at the bottom of a free London newspaper: "Dear Steven, we love you, we miss you. We hope you found what you were looking for."

Veritas Theatre Company in association with Park Theatre are proud to present the World Premiere of Spiral by Abigail Hood, which is set to be performed at Park Theatre from 7th August - 1st September 2018. Spiral is a thrilling contemporary play which explores lives in crisis and the need within the human spirit to cling to another person, no matter what the cost.

Sandra Dickinson has had a long and diverse career, spanning stage and screen. An American who has lived in the UK for over four decades, she was recently seen in Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One and as Lucille Ball in I Loved Lucy at the Arts Theatre. She is currently starring opposite Jonathan Chambers in the European premiere of The Unbuilt City at the King's Head Theatre.

Jonah (Jonathan Chambers) has been sent on a mission to convince wealthy Claudia (Sandra Dickinson) to sell her huge art collection to a university archive. The exuberant socialite has turned into a recluse and the young man might be the key to find out what her collection actually contains. King's Head Theatre sees the European debut of The Unbuilt City, written by Keith Bunin and directed by Glen Walford, it's regrettably boring.

On a cold afternoon in February, Jonah knocks on the door of a townhouse in Brooklyn Heights. He's come to ask Claudia to sell her famously secret collection to a university archive. But in order to do that, he'll have to persuade her to reveal her own enigmatic past, and to illuminate a series of mysteries about the nature of love, legacy and the untold history of New York City.

Willy Russell's heart-warming comedy Shirley Valentine premiered in 1986 and took the world by storm. Next week, a new production starring Jodie Prenger will run at the King's Theatre, Glasgow forming part of a major revival of the classic story.

Shirley is a Liverpool housewife. Her kids have left home and she makeschips and egg for her husband while talking to the wall. Where has her life disappeared to? Out of the blue, her best friend offers her a trip to Greece for 2 weeks and she secretly packs her bags. She heads for the sun and starts to see the world and herself very differently.

Willy Russell's heart-warming comedy Shirley Valentine comes to The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, next month. 

There are few male playwrights who have captured the female psyche as well as Willy Russell. The character of Shirley is both simple and complex. On one hand all she wants is to escape her life of regimented predictability, where her husband Joe demands his steak on a Thursday and the only source of entertainment is talking to her kitchen wall. On the other is the deep and heartbreaking aspect of wanting to return to her past, where she felt she had more worth and character.

Willy Russell's heart-warming comedy Shirley Valentine premiered in 1986 and took the world by storm. In celebration of its 30th Anniversary the first major revival of this national treasure will embark on a UK tour in 2017. Opening on Thursday 2 March in Bromley, Shirley Valentine will star much loved actress Jodie Prenger as Shirley.
