Visting Time by Melville Lovatt
Stella returns to visit the husband and children. she walked out on many years ago. Her visit exposes a monstrous fiction, her past challenging the assumptions and perceptions of the present and changing forever the lives of the family.
With its own dark imagery, poetry and humour, VISITING TIME is a powerful family drama with sharp focus on the nature of loyalty and deception. Its portrait will linger long after the final curtain.

The Rise and Fall of Margaret Thatcher
10 June to 15 June 2025
Upstairs At The Gatehouse
Edmund Green’s acclaimed play about how Margaret Thatcher first won and then lost the Conservative leadership returns to the Gatehouse for a new run.
The play covers the Conservatives’ defeat in the 1974 election and shows how Mrs Thatcher unexpectedly captured the party leadership. Then as Mrs Thatcher celebrates 10 years as prime minister, the drama covers the events which led to her downfall.
The play concentrates on the personalities, rivalries and machinations involved in the leadership battles and does not set out to take a pro- or anti-Thatcher stance.
