The Titfield Thunderbolt
Written by Philip Goulding from the original Ealing comedy screenplay by T E
B Clarke
Directed by David McCaddon
This delightfully funny play is based on the original Ealing comedy film of the same name brought to the stage by Philip Goulding and is set in the 1950s. When British Railways announce the closure of the Titfield to Mallingford branch line, a group of local village residents make a bid to run it themselves, backed by a monied member of the community who is attracted by the fact that the train will be hosting a bar service.
The focus is on the Titfield branch line that is threatened with closure much to the delight of the local bus owner Vernon Crump. But that is not going to happen if the formidable Lady Edna Chesterford has anything to do with it.
Dates: Tuesday 2nd October to Saturday 6th October 2018 at 7.30 pm.
Tickets available online or from Congleton TIC 01260 271095

Director Louise Colohan
Written by by Carlo Goldoni, Grant Olding and Richard Bean the play is set in 1963 in Brighton. Out-of-work skiffle player Francis Henshall becomes separately employed by two men – Roscoe Crabbe, a gangster, and Stanley Stubbers, an upper class twit.
Francis tries to keep the two from meeting, in order to avoid each of them learning that Francis is also working for someone else. Complicating events, Roscoe is really Rachel Crabbe in disguise, her twin brother Roscoe having been killed by her boyfriend, who is none other than Stanley. Complicating events still further is local mobster Charlie the Duck, who has arranged his daughter Pauline's engagement to Roscoe despite her preference for over-the-top amateur actor Alan Dangle. Even further complications are prompted by several letters, a very heavy trunk, an extremely elderly waiter and Francis' pursuit of his twin passions: Dolly, Charlie's feminist bookkeeper, and food.
Tickets available on-line and from Congleton TIC

This exciting Pink Floyd tribute band return for what has now become an annual appearance following their highly acclaimed shos at Daneside Theatre in the last three years.
Offering an engaging and energetic show, they have been especially praised for the accuracy of their performance based on the studio versions of music spanning the entire output of the Floyd from early days, with firm favourites Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall particularly featured. The music is enhanced by a fabulous light-show including Floyd's distinctive circular screen. All your favourites are featured, and maybe a couple of less familiar tracks for the real afficionado.
“Unbelievably awesome! Music buzzing in our heads on our walk home and still singing today” (M&T)
“What a brilliant performance, the band was faultless. A brilliant set of tracks. Can’t wait to see them again” (P Abbott)
“Stunning rendition of Echoes and Andrea’s Great gig in the sky was the best I have heard since the release of DSOTM. Can’t wait for the next show” (Brian Parker)
“Finishing with Comfortably Numb, Alan Tarpey blew the crowd away with his jaw-dropping solo that the audience were still gasping and chattering about as they left the room” (Seren Hughes-Jones, QuaysNews)
“My heroes will never be forgotten as long as you are on the stage and that’s from a 68 year-old roadie of the original PF! You are another brick in the wall!" (David Larkin, former PF roadie)
