theatre on the tea lawn
twelfth night by william shakespeare
After the great success of The Importance of Being Earnest in 2016, the award-winning Shooting Stars Theatre Company return to Lauderdale House with a fresh and modern interpretation of Twelfth Night.
Shooting Stars was formed in 2006 by Helen Crosse and quickly gained a reputation for producing high quality professional theatre. They produce classic Shakespeare but bring it up to date and make it relevant to a modern audience with modern dress and in updated settings and ‘worlds’. Definately theatre for the whole family!
Shooting Star’s productions are always accessible, so even those not versed in the Bard’s comic play will be rolling with laughter. This is a play of mistaken identity and love triangles and takes its rightful place as one of Shakespeare’s best loved plays. Confused identity, cross-dressing and cross-garters are sure to make this an evening to remember!
Tips for our audience:
If it rains the ‘show will go on’ – we will only cancel in very extreme circumstances
There are no refunds but if we do have to abandon the show before the interval you will be offered a ticket for another night subject to availability
Bring something warm as even on a hot day the evenings can get chilly
The Café will be open for you to purchase food and drink on the evening but you are welcome to bring a picnic along with a blanket or chair to sit on. Chairs will be seated at the back of the Tea Lawn.

A new weekly Sunday farmers market for the community.
We’re delighted to be hosted by St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School.
St Joseph’s are especially delighted to celebrate the opening of the Market with the School’s 10th anniversary in September of the ‘St Joseph’s Children’s Garden’ project, enabling children in the Community to sell their garden produce and share their growing expertise.
Produce will include; Freshly pressed juice, soft fruit and top fruit in season, vegetables and salads. Organic & free range meat, raw milk, cheese, plants & flowers, handmade preserves, herbs, pies, cakes and bread, wet fish and shellfish, free range eggs.
Something for everyone.
All farms are based within 100 miles of London and everyone is visited before they sell with us. Secondary producers such as jam makers have to use a minimum of 50% local ingredients and we ask bakers to use seasonal ingredients and free range/organic eggs. We’ll do our best to include locally based producers, anyone interested should get in touch with us as soon as possible.

Nigel Osner takes an intimate and engaging cabaret journey through a lifetime of yearning, illustrated by original songs and stories. There are a host of quirky characters, male and female. These include the Archangel Gabriel who has quit his job in Heaven to play jazz in New Orleans; a peckish vampire who casts a speculative eye over the audience; and an actor who is bemused at his loss of charisma. The show had an applauded debut at the Edinburgh Fringe 2016. Nigel took it to the Brighton Fringe this May. The show is directed by the actress Janine Wood.

From the producer who brought you BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO
Music & Lyrics by Dolly Parton
Book by Patricia Resnick

Tuesdays – Saturdays 7.30pm
Sundays at 4pm
Extra matinee Saturday 30th September at 3pm
9 To 5 The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.
Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down.
Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she?
The production will be directed by Joseph Hodges, with Musical Direction by Oliver Hance, Choreography by Chris Whittaker and Casting by Harry Blumenau.
