One Turbulent Ambassador
A play by Robin Soans
World Premiere

One Turbulent Ambassador follows the career of Craig Murray on his appointment as Her Majesty’s Ambassador and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2001.

Murray’s proximity to post 9/11 Iraq forces him into a political minefield that neither he nor the Foreign Office could have envisaged. When he walks into a bar in Tashkent late one Monday night and sees a beautiful belly dancer arching her limbs, his personal life threatens to become as turbulent as the political landscape around him.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the world premiere of Robin Soans’s newest play, researched and developed in collaboration with LAMDA students.

Please note that this production contains strong language and scenes of an adult nature.

The School for Wives
A play by Molière
Translated by Ranjit Bolt

Moliere’s battle of the sexes comedy follows Arnolphe’s bungled attempts to cultivate a faithful wife out of his young ward, Agnes. Lecherous and middle-aged, Arnolphe is convinced that, to avoid cuckoldry, a man must keep his wife ignorant of the ways of the world. Having been raised in a secluded convent and versed only in the Bible and the Maxims of Marriage, Agnes should be his perfect match.

In Ranjit Bolt’s modern adaptation of The School for Wives, the path of true love does not always run smoothly…as Arnolphe must learn the hard way.

An amateur production by arrangement with Cutis Brown Group Ltd
