Act One: 2026 Middle Years' Production

 

The Big Bang by T. Devon
Recess by P.E. Dagogi
The Snow by Finigan Kruemeyer

Fawlty Towers: The Big Bang by T. Devon is a Christmas farce set at the chaos-prone hotel, following Basil Fawlty's increasingly desperate scheme to impress a wealthy, impossible-to-please guest with an enormous surprise firework display. Featuring the full cast of hotel regulars – Sybil, Polly, Manuel and the rest – this fast-paced comedy builds from small misunderstandings to one spectacularly ill-fated grand finale.

Recess by P. E. Dagogi, is a new comedy of manners set in a school staffroom during a single, freezing recess, following first-day CRT Cindy White as she navigates a colourful cast of teachers – dry, exhausted, eccentric and endlessly devoted to their students. Beneath the running jokes and staffroom chaos sits a warm tribute to the unseen work and quiet camaraderie of school life.

The Snow by Finegan Kruckemeyer follows Theo, a small and unlikely hero, on a fantastical quest to break through a wall of snow that has cut his village off from food and hope. A tale of courage, community and unexpected friendship, the play uses playful ensemble storytelling to explore how the people we've lost stay with us, and how warmth – not force – melts even the coldest divides.
