Directors Showcase: The Burglar Who Failed & Dutchman

WEDNESDAY 13 JUNE - SATURDAY 30 JUNE

Directed by Karima Setohy and Polina Kalinina

Designed by Sam Dowson
Lighting by Stuart Burgess

When burglar Bill Bludgeon decides to break into Mrs Maxwell's house he meets his match - a feisty schoolgirl with a hockey stick. The burglar's true identity is unravelled and the notion of 'good Christianity' is tested. The Burglar Who Failed, by the author of The Charity that Began at Home, will be accompanied by response piece 'Return to Sender', by Orange Tree writers' group member Omar El-Khairy.

'I even got into this train... walked down the aisle... searching you out.'
First staged in 1964 as the civil rights movement continued to escalate, this catastrophic and sexually-charged chance meeting on a subway train between a white woman and a black man exposes the ambiguities in America's race relations still pertinent today.

SPECIAL PRICE: Tickets £12 (£10 concessions), Tuesday matinees £9.
