Forget all the other Shakespeare shows you’ll see this term – the Fletcher Players are proud to present his finest female character, Lady Macbeth. Well, when we say Lady Macbeth we mean Lily Morgan. Plain old Lily doesn’t just want to audition for the role in her school play, she wants to be Lady Macbeth. Will her friends and family ever see Lily as anything other than quiet and uninspiring? And what will bringing her brother’s knife to the audition lead to? After all it’s only acting – isn’t it?

Faced with another Sunday evening of incomprehensible boredom, two housemates take the only sane option - break out the board games! Unwittingly they embark on a game of Risk (TM) that spills over into their lives and ushers reality into the the corner until its thought about what it's done. In the days that follow, in the no-mans land between the sofa and the coffee table, they find out that war isn't just a game - unless it's been bought at Woolworths!

Five acts, four grasping Jews, three thousand ducats, two gay Salads, and one pound of flesh...
The Fletcher Players is delighted to bring you one of Shakespeare's darkest and best comedies for May Week in the beautiful setting of Old Court, Corpus Christi. Come and find out just why Antonio is so sad, what Shylock wants with a pound of his flesh, and why Jessica feels the need to dress up as a boy. And for a sum considerably less extortionate than three thousand ducats.

Novelist Helen Oyeyemi's first play raises more questions than it answers.
In the house where Aleph, Beth and Juniper live, resurrection is a weapon,
and kindness is entrapment. Aleph lovehates Beth, and Beth lovehates Aleph,
but all Juniper knows is that Beth just con't seem to stop being murdered.
One thing above all - they mustn't look out of the window.
