Treasure Island
By Jim Fowler

Ahoy me hearties and welcome aboard the HMS Hispaniola! Travel with our band of pirates while we go searching on the high seas for the hidden treasure!
Come and meet the gorgeous Hettie Hawkins, the pub landlady and her son Jim, who is secretly in love with Suzie, while they pitch their wits against the baddest pirate ever, Black Dog and the useless Roger and Dodger!
Will there be laughs a plenty? Oh yes, will there be songs to sing along with? Indeed! Will we find the treasure? Come and find out!
We very much look forward to welcoming on board the HMS Hispaniola!

Twelfth Night
By William Shakespeare
July 2025
Directed By Sue Sachon
After success with A Midsummer Night's Dream in 2023, Sue is returning to LBDG to direct Twelfth Night: one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. Set in the fictional land of Illyria, the play explores the complexity of human emotions through characters who are often at odds with their own desires or perceptions.
Viola, shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother, takes on a male disguise, calling herself Cesario, which sets off a series of mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and romantic entanglements. At its heart, Twelfth Night celebrates love in all its forms—romantic, selfless, and even self-indulgent—while gently reminding us of its capacity to bring joy as well as chaos.
Auditions: 23rd Feb 2025
Rehearsals: 2nd Apr-June 2025
