Calendar Girls the Musical
by Gary Barlow & Tim Firth
This hilarious and heart warming musical is actually set in a WI hall - so the McGrigor is the perfect place to see it.
The death of a much loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Women's Institute to do an extraordinary thing.
An Olivier and Tony Award winning comedy.
Two sets of parents meet after the son of one couple has hit the son of the other. What begins as a civilised chat to resolve the matter gradually dissolves into comedy mayhem - as civility turns into chaos.
God of Carnage
by Yasmine Reza
Present Laughter
by Noël Coward
As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine's colourful and extraordinary life is in danger of spiralling out of control. His friends try to warn him to no avail.
Classic, exuberant Coward.
The master of British farce returns to the Frinton stage. A junior minister plans a spot of extramarital afternoon nookie in a Westminster hotel where he is staying with his wife. He gets his put-upon private secretary to book a room under a false name, only to find his wife unexpectedly returning from a matinee….an orgy of door slamming ensues!
Two into One by Ray Cooney
Duet for One
by Tom Kempinsky
This immensely moving and beautiful play won the London Theatre Critics Award for best play of 1980. Both Anne Bancroft and Julie Andrews have played the role of a famous concert violinist who is stricken with a disease which necessitates her retirement from performance.
Alan Cox is returning to Frinton having previously performed here in The Kings Speech and My Fair Lady and it is being directed by the highly acclaimed Tony and Olivier award winning director Terry Johnson.
