And coming up in October....
Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons is not merely a historical drama; it is a clinical study of the soul under pressure. Set against the backdrop of Tudor England—a world of velvet, violence, and shifting allegiances—it follows the final years of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who chose the silence of his conscience over the roar of a king’s command.
As King Henry VIII seeks to dismantle the spiritual foundations of Europe to secure an annulment and an heir, More stands as the "center of gravity" in a spinning world. He is a man of profound wit and even deeper law, a man who believes that when a person takes an oath, they are holding their own self in their hands like water.
The play explores the terrifying friction between private integrity and public necessity. Through the eyes of the Common Man—the cynical, shape-shifting narrator who reminds us that we are often more complicit than we’d like to admit—we witness a slow-motion collision between a man who cannot yield and a state that cannot wait.

The hilarious BBC comedy Yes, Prime Minister is back – and brought into the 2000’s with a bang! Prime Minister Gemma Hacker is steering a fragile coalition government at breaking point. The UK is in crisis, debt is spiralling and unemployment is on the rise. Salvation may exist in the form of a complex pipeline deal with the oil-rich country of Kumranistan which would entitle the government to a multi trillion-pound loan. However, when the Kumranistan Foreign Secretary makes rather a strange request of Private secretary Bernard Woolley, moral considerations collide with the economic future of the nation. What ensues is pure classic farce!
How will Gemma and her team : Bernard, Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby, and Special Advisor Claire Sutton, reconcile the two?
Director Paul Lomax says, “I think we all like to imagine what really happens within the hallowed corridors of Westminster. There’s that inner curiosity of being a fly on the wall and seeing what the people running the country may really be getting up to – whatever their political colour. I’m sure this weekend at Chequers is one the Prime Minister would quickly like to forget! “
Join the award-winning Fylde Coast Players for a fast-paced satirical romp that’s as sharp as it is hilarious.
