We are delighted to announce we now have dates for two more performances of Absurd Person Singular.
As well as May 6th and 7th in Lectoure, we now have the delightful theatre Les Sept Chandelles in Maubourguet booked for performances on May 27th and May 28th. Our box office is now open for all performances.
​Pictured is our cast in rehearsal.

We had great fun at rehearsal today. Working with such a superb script is a joy and Alan Ayckbourn manages to weave so many hilarious moves through his clever words, particularly in Act II, that the cast were in stitches.

It is so much fun ! And if the cast are enjoying it this much, we're pretty sure the audiences will love it too.

The Box Office is not open yet, but there is a way to make advance bookings — click on our Friends page.

​We look forward to seeing you in Lectoure in early May !

We are delighted to announce that we are staging two performances of radio plays to be held in restaurant settings in early March.

The first rehearsal for the radio plays.

We have some exciting news to be announced in the next few days. 
Our first radio plays will be staged in March at two venues in the south of the Gers. The format will be a short radio drama to be performed prior to a lunch or dinner, followed by a short comedy performance of an episode of a well-loved television series.
​Keep watching our upcoming events page and be ready to reserve your places as we expect to sell out very quickly.

Our first rehearsal saw the entire cast don warm coats, scarves and gloves for a first read-through of Absurd Person Singular on a chilly morning at Caillavet. Things soon warmed up and by the afternoon one of the three Acts had been worked through and everyone had learned their moves.
​There were moments of high hilarity, particularly when the cast had to act out a sequence of musical forfeits. It all bodes well.
