Woman in Mind is a darkly comic production from the pen of
the UK's favourite playwright, Alan Ayckbourn. The play follows two days in the life of Susan Gannet as she gradually loses her grasp on reality, precipitated by being knocked unconscious by a garden rake! Starved of affection and love by a well meaning but dull husband and avoided by an uptight son, who is ashamed of her, Susan conjures up an ideal family - husband and daughter and brother - who come into her idyllic (but imagined) garden. Gradually she loses control over this dream and all finally breaks down into a bizarrely comic fantasy involving real and imaginary families.

Family Spirit

Thursday 23rd February 2012 to Saturday 25th February 2012

Arthur dies from a heart attack, the very moment he finds out that he has won a substantial amount of money. Although he is dead, he is a little surprised that he is still in his old house able to see and hear what is going on. His allocated Guide Angel, Simon, explains that he is being assessed to determine which way he goes next. Up or Down!!!
Arthur does not mind the assessment delay. He is curious to find out what is going on in his old house after his funeral. Obviously he is not very pleased with what his family are saying and planning to do next but, Spirits cannot voice their objections. Or can they? This play has a strong cast of Caxton favourites including Derek Hodges, as Arthur, Ian Hammond, as Simon, with Amanda Hodges, Christine Cornthwaite, Mike Wilson, Geraldine Godwin and Rhiannon Wright.

Written by Pat Wollaston - Directed by Photis Hardalias
