The True Story of Maria Marten and the Murder in the Red Barn
16th October – 19th October
“Come and see “The True Story of Maria Marten and the Murder in the Red Barn” written by Audrey Coldron. Follow the fate of Maria Marten and discover who was guilty for her infamous demise.
Maria’s tale became a popular Victorian melodrama, involving exaggerations and fabrications. Audrey’s play was thoroughly researched and is based on contemporary documents and eyewitness accounts. The result is an authentic dramatisation of a young woman’s life and demise.
Audrey is a founding member of ACT and was a leading force for the first decade of ACT productions. Often as director, Audrey brought a wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion. 2024 marks Audrey’s centenary; a revival of her “Maria Marten” is a fitting way to celebrate Audrey’s life and the many ways she has supported ACT.”

Cynthia, a Yorkshire factory worker and wannabe fashion designer, is desperate to be a part of the changes happening in swinging London. Wide eyed and innocent, Cynthia soon finds herself under the wing of the intriguing and glamourous Jayne and her family of collected outcasts.
Using 1960’s inspired music, and set around the events of the Grosvenor Square riots, 68 tackles the clash of cultures taking place in late 1960’s Britain from the changing attuites towards gay rights, and the Vietnam war, to police brutality and the lasting effects of sexual abuse.
Lilies on the Land
14th November – 16th November
Lilies on the Land charts the personal journeys of four women who sign up to join the Women’s Land Army during World War II, determined to work endless backbreaking hours on farms across the country in a bid to do their best for the War Effort.
But how do these women, all hailing from different walks of life, torn from their families and bereft of all basic home comforts, deal with the hardships of farming life and the pressures of war? Maybe work clothes full of mice and toilet rolls falling from the sky are just what it takes for these girls to get through!
Based on one hundred and fifty letters and interviews with original Land Girls, along with songs from the period, Lilies on the Land is a revealing, funny and wonderfully moving portrait of some of Britain’s pluckiest unsung heroes.
The play was devised and first performed by the Lions part.
