Written and Directed by: Matthew Sargent

Date: Thursday 26 November to Saturday 5 December 2009 - NEW DATES ADDED DUE TO DEMAND

Following the success of ‘Erections’ and ‘Erections 2’, Matt Sargent’s ‘Orgasm’ will be performed on the Caxton stage this Christmas.

Meet Brad, a fun loving, womanising Adonis (in his own mind).  Brad is bored of everyday life in Grimsby and decides to set up for some of his willing, and some not so willing friends, a swingers club.  Madness, mayhem, rudeness, killer lines, zany characters and much comedy are promised with this new release.

Matt will also be directing the play following on from directorial feats such as; ‘A Kick in the Baubles’, ‘Noises Off’, ‘Allo Allo’, ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ and ‘Popcorn’. A fantastic night is promised but please be advised there will be ADULT CONTENT and some scenes of an ADULT NATURE.

Matt’s shows sell out so don’t be disappointed, Book Early!

It's now 1939, and storm clouds are gathering over Europe. Having inherited Bagshot House, Colonel Charles Craddock has converted the property into a hotel for the discerning visitor. Soon Inspector Pratt arrives once again at Bagshot House, bearing grim news for the Colonel. But that's just the beginning - Who is the strange Polish Count? Is Henrietta really an army captain? And where does the flamboyant thespian Cardew Longfellow fit into the picture? When Joan Maple's sister Cynthia arrives to stage a murder mystery evening, it's not long before Pratt's visit turns into a chaotic nightmare as the bodies pile higher than ever!
