The Modern Classic of Marital Warfare
George and Martha, those arch-monsters of American theatre who have enthralled and appalled audiences for 50 years, return for another bout of marital warfare and 'Get the Guests'. With all the terrifying fascination of watching a four car pile-up in slow motion, Albee's modern classic plumbs the depths and scales the heights of polite middle-class cruelty with such wit and brilliance it will leave you breathless. In a cwACT summer production, this devastatingly perceptive dissection of marriage, ambition and apathy is reborn for our times and our crimes.

A musical as big as all outdoors!
Here is the immortal musical masterpiece by Rodgers and Hammerstein. It tells the romantic story of dashing cowboy Curly, who is trying to roundup the heart of farm girl Laurey.
