Coming next on 22 October – Peggy, the Crooked (Vigil Backstage) PROGRAMME NOTES This production contains strong language, drug use, gunfire, and gory fantasy violence. Luvvie alert!

CALISTARIUS SOFTBINDING: A local horror writer with a cult following, who sponsored the construction of a whole new wing of Sherrydown’s library. Calistarius Softbinding is a nom de plume. ED KINCAID: A once promising, now disgraced MI5 agent assigned to investigate the more … esoteric threats reported to the national security hotline.

Severely defunded under Tory austerity policies and currently prioritising major urban population centres. SHERRYDOWN, BRACKSHIRE: A historic English market town.
