Adapted for the Stage by Jeremy Sams
Directed by Dan Ellis
When Tom and Barbara Good decide to exchange the pressures of the rat race for an alternative, more sustainable way of living, they set about turning their suburban home in Surbiton into a model of self-sufficiency. They grow their own fruit and veg, keep livestock in the garden, make their own clothes, and even generate their own electricity from manure.
It's the good life for them – but not for Margo and Jerry Leadbetter, who live next door, and are desperately trying to maintain the Surbiton status quo.
Jeremy Sams' stage play, based on the hugely popular sitcom by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey, reunites the well-loved characters (not forgetting Geraldine the goat) as they get themselves into and out of scrapes – some old, some new, all hilarious.
Tapping into issues that resonate now more than ever, The Good Life is a witty reimagining of a television classic, with a wellyful of laughs that's sure to delight audiences everywhere.
We are a diverse theatre and we welcome auditionees of all ages (above the age of 18) and all genders, ethnicities, sexualities, disabilities and races, to enrich the work of the production.

What a smashing, positively dashing finale to the 2025/2026 Altrincham Garrick Season - Lerner and Loewe’s classic rags to riches tale, MY FAIR LADY.
MY FAIR LADY follows Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower seller in Covent Garden, who by chance meets phonetics professor, Henry Higgins. As part of a wager with a fellow phonetician, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to speak like a lady of high society – but learns a few lessons of his own along the way.
Filled with comedy, romance, and dazzling songs such as The Rain in Spain, Wouldn’t It Be Loverly and I Could Have Danced All Night, this will be an unmissable production.
A beautiful musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play PYGMALION, MY FAIR LADY was first performed on Broadway in 1956 starring Julie Andrews and adapted into a 1964 Oscar-winning film starring Audrey Hepburn.
It’s going to be bloomin’ loverly!​

Written by Simon Stephens
Directed by Meg Brassington
“I hate normal people. Normal people should be eviscerated.”
Tucked away in a library in a Stockport grammar school, half-a-dozen sixth formers, on the cusp of adulthood, are whiling away the hours…
A clatter of teenage thoughts tumble out between the friends. Dreams of Oxbridge, contempt for the locals and of course: sex, sex, sex.
But as exams approach and pressures rise, real brutality emerges from behind their playful barbs. And soon there is nothing left but violence.
From Manchester power-house playwright, Simon Stephens, Punk Rock is a brutal and urgent examination of contemporary adolescence.
Intelligent. Articulate. F***ed.
Age Guidance: 16 +
Warning: This production contains strong and offensive language, and discussions of self-harm, sexual abuse, racism, homophobia, ableism, body shaming, gun violence, murder, and mental health issues.
