Torn between memory and another’s desire, Tim’s mind is ripped apart. Can he get it together or will he spend the rest of his life living in cardboard boxes in someone else’s spare room? Owen Benson’s sinister and compelling play examines memory, how it controls us and the effects of deliberate distortion. Never trust your memory with your life! Exceptional new writing developed through The Rondo Writer’s Group. |

Midden – a dump for domestic waste. Bath Drama reveals the midden of three generations of a Derry family’s women when Ruth returns from America in an attempt to pick up where she left off, unearthing the detritus of their past. Irish to the core and full of humour and vitality, Morna Regan’s play is non-political and was first produced at the Edinburgh Festival in 2001, winning a string of awards. “A fascinating play from Bath Drama because it was the result of creative thought and imagination from both director and cast” - Rosebowl Review, The Servant. |

The comedy is about a group of very different women who meet regularly at the local village hall. During a self-help presentation the well-meaning ladies, in their misguided attempt to help the slightly depressed Cathy-Ann, accidentally kill her. What to do with an unexpected body. And just when the next booking has arrived! A rib-tickling comedy from one of Bath's finest and funnest community theatre companies. |

Third Party gives you Faustus, all in the words of Christopher Marlowe - but not necessarily in the right order! With a breathless pace this piece is full of surprises. Including dance and song, live music, a little magic, and even a touch of ventriloquism as Faustus is mocked by his own image parodying his speech to Helen of Troy. Catch some of the most popular dramatic verse ever written served up with a dose of the comedy you would expect from one of the UK's most popular international touring companies. “Deliciously dangerous theatre” - TIME OUT |
