Five bedrooms, five chairs and four boys. The Class of 2011 are about to graduate and Benny, Mack, Timp and Cam are due out of their flat. Stepping into a world that doesn’t want them, these boys start to wonder whether there’s any point in getting older. How will they find the fight to make it as adults? Before all that they’re going to have one hell of a party. It’s hot and there’ll be girls. Predict a riot.

SILHOUETTE by Simon Brett
Simon Brett’s witty two-act thriller centers on the murder of Martin Powell, an award winning actor, husband of Celia Wallis and serial philanderer. Everything points to Neville Smallwood, a nervous journalist who argued with Martin shortly before the murder and has an unhealthy interest in Celia. Of course, nothing is as it seems.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE by Anthony Burgess
Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange chronicles the hedonistic ‘ultra-violence’ of Alex and his ‘droogs’ who, in a dystopian, futuristic setting wage a constant battle against the adult world. The gang, energised by drink, drugs and Beethoven, roam the night fighting and raping as they go. This visceral stage adaption is a provocative exploration of violence in the human condition.
Tickets: Wednesday £4; Thursday to Saturday £6 on door, £5 advance

LES AFFAIRES SON LES AFFAIRES by Octave Mirbeau
In twenty-four hours, the business tycoon, Isidore Lechat attempts to fleece two naïve engineers; to marry off his daughter to his debt-ridden noble neighbour; and to entertain dignitaries to get elected as MP. Yet Lechat hasn’t reckoned on his daughter’s free spirit, his wife’s nerves, the nobleman’s scruples and his playboy son’s recklessness.
