Role: Jeremy Warrender

Clarissa, wife of diplomat Henry Hailsham-Brown, is adept at spinning tales of adventure but when a murder takes place in her drawing room, she finds live drama much harder to cope with. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband arrives with an important politician, she enlists the help of her guests. Hilarity ensues when they are interrupted by the arrival of wry detective, Inspector Lord. Now Clarissa must keep the body hidden, convince the sceptical police inspector that there has been no murder, and, in the meantime, find out who has been murdered, why, and what the body is doing in her house...

What sets Spider’s Web apart from most specimens of its genre, is that its real motive is fun; all else – dropped clues, plot contrivances – is secondary.

‘Separate Tables’ - Dir. Shane Anthony & Janine Watson

Role: John Malcolm

Separate Tables by Terence Rattigan is set in a quiet, modest hotel in Bournemouth, England, where lonely and troubled guests gather, each carrying their own burdens and desires. The play comprises two acts, Table by the Window and Table Number Seven, each focusing on different residents whose lives intertwine. In Table by the Window, Ann Shankland unexpectedly reunites with her ex-husband, John Malcolm, a troubled man haunted by his past. Their encounter reopens old wounds and exposes the unresolved tensions between them.
In Table Number Seven, Major David Pollock, a lonely man masking his insecurity with fabricated stories of military glory, is publicly disgraced after an accusation surfaces. Amid the scandal, he finds empathy in the shy, timid Sibyl Railton-Bell, who is tightly controlled by her domineering mother. Through these characters, Rattigan explores human vulnerability, the pain of isolation, and the universal longing for acceptance and understanding.
