| God of Carnage Pump House Theatre Co. (Amateur) Monday 10 June to Saturday 15 June 2013 Price: £12 (£10.50) (£8 Mondays) "Sticks and stones can break my bones..." but when Benjamin hits Henry at a nearby park, it starts two sets of parents on a comically explosive downhill slide destined for debauchery. In this universally acclaimed and award winning comedy, by the author of 'ART', two sets of adults come together for a civilised afternoon of coffee, cake and conversation about their kids. But frayed nerves soon surface and the grown-ups begin to outdo their pugnacious children in bad behaviour and moral corruption, disproving the notion that "words can never hurt me". God of Carnage is a hilariously harrowing look at the minefield of modern marriage. A comedy of manners......without manners.

| Oklahoma Pump House CYT Wednesday 10 July to Sunday 14 July 2013 Price: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant OKLAHOMA!
