What could go wrong? Plenty!! Arriving on his doorstep, in quick succession, are his Grandma Giles of a mother (come to stay for the duration), his son with a broken ankle, a pregnant daughter and an oversized puppy. Alec's attempts to escape with Liz are charted to hilarious effect and with wit and ingenuity. What more can you expect from a man who created and wrote RISING DAMP and gave us the marvellous Rigsby and Miss Jones?

Previous Next Brian Moore Brian was introduced to the Garrick in 1965 by his then girlfriend, soon to be wife, Ann, who was auditioning for the pantomime The Wizard of Oz . By the time they left that evening, Brian had been cast as The Scarecrow and had become a fully paid-up member of the theatre. Brian went on to act in or be involved with dozens of plays and musicals over the next 50+ years. After his final show, when he was in his late 70s, he turned his hand to assisting many other areas of the theatre, including the bar and, with the help of others, running the Sunday Jazz lunches. Finally, after the refurbishment of the theatre, Brian took over the running of the confectionery kiosk. He introduced the selling of ice creams within the auditorium during the interval, making in his time many thousands of pounds for the Garrick. When not at the theatre, Brian could be found at the golf course enjoying the outdoor life. Brian was delighted to have been made an honorary Life Member of the Garrick theatre.

If you are a parent, guardian, or work with people with learning or sensory disabilities – such as those on the autism spectrum – you’ll know how difficult it can sometimes be for them to attend regular theatre performances; loud noises, lighting effects and large crowds can make stage shows overwhelming. At Altrincham Garrick Playhouse, we believe that everyone should be able to experience the magic and wonder of live theatre, and our Relaxed Performance of Goldilocks and the Three Bears will provide the same fantastical Pantomime but with an atmosphere and attitude in the auditorium that makes everyone feel comfortable and safe. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR RELAXED PERFORMANCE: At a Relaxed Performed, you are free to: - Come and go from the auditorium as you wish, even during the show - Express yourself as loudly as you like, or with physical movement, without judgement - Access the Theatre and auditorium early. You’ll also notice that we will reduce the sound and lighting to lessen sensory overload, and no pyrotechnics or loud bangs will appear in the performance.

< Back Theatrical Screening - MACBETH: David Tennant & Cush Jumbo ˂ Previous Production Next Production ˃ 12 February 2025 to David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s MACBETH, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?

< Back Tom Jones ˂ Previous Production Next Production ˃ 9 June 1999 to 19 June 1999 Dunham Massey Hall - June 9 -19th 1999 A huge cast gave eight performances of Joan Macalpine's adaptation of Henry Fielding's bawdy romp of a novel, "Tom Jones" Although the evening may have seemed a little long (maybe the seating was not quite as comfortable as it might have been!), the original novel runs to over 800 pages in a modern printed edition, so a finish time of 10.15 pm was quite an achievement! SAM's view on "Tom Jones" Alas smitten Jones - Womaniser Tom keeps crowd warm It may have been a slightly chilly evening in the stands in the courtyard of Dunham Massey Hall, but the goings on in Tom Jones, performed by the Altrincham Garrick, were, to say the least, hot. Tom is a philandering womaniser of the first order but he has a directness and a candour which endear him to the audience and, ultimately, to his true love, Sophia Western. Charlie Tomlinson throws himself into the part of Fielding's hero with an abandonment only equalled by that of his lovers. He frolics tirelessly with his dalliances, has dust ups with the men and performs acrobatic impossibilities when he dives under a neatly constructed bed and hangs from a drainpipe - a performance which will be recalled and savoured! Sophia, played by Juliet Glaves, is a decorous, becoming and well bred young lady who becomes excessively tearful when her father foists the wrong man on her. Tom's first fling is with Pam Nolan's voluptuous Molly, who has a sexy Somerset drawl. "I never done that before," she sighs innocently while wantonly seducing him and indulging in rough and tumble behind the strategically placed hay cart. His last encounter gives Helen Busby a chance to shine. She positively sparkles as the scheming Mrs Fitzpatrick who guilefully illustrates that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. In between comes Angela Wetherill who, as Mrs Waters, is a mistress of farce. Hers is the funniest scene. It's not unlike a silent movie. Special attention has been given to the costumes, from the Royal Exchange, high powered lighting and first rate sound. Julia Taylor
