Past productions

Show titles are followed by the performance date(s) and, if known, the production company. Clicking on the title will reveal where it was performed within the theatre (mainly Main house or Dixon Studio), any relevant Notes (often including a list of performers and attractions for the Variety shows) and, if applicable, famous actors.

Shows beginning with “A”, such as “A Murder Is Announced”, appear under “A”, while shows beginning with “The”, such as “The Hollow”, appear under “The”. However, the ‘search’ box at top right should be used when looking for specific titles, actors, etc.

The list is usually updated once a month, following the end of each month.
