THE GRAND FATHER OF ALL GRAND ADVENTURES!
Pack your bags for a whirlwind theatrical adventure! Mark Brown’s fast, funny adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days sends the unflappable Phileas Fogg and his loyal servant Passepartout racing across the globe to win an outrageous wager. With the clock ticking and Detective Fix hot on their heels, every train, ship, elephant and unexpected detour becomes part of the madcap journey. This inventive stage version captures the spirit of Jules Verne’s classic tale with quick changes, clever comedy and a cast of unforgettable characters brought to life at breakneck speed. From London drawing rooms to distant continents, danger, romance and hilarious surprises await around every corner. Perfect for families, adventurers and anyone who loves live theatre at its most imaginative, Around the World in 80 Days is a globe-trotting race against time that proves the whole world can fit on one stage, with delightful surprises along the way.
A high-spirited, flat-out hilarious adventure
that reaffirms the magic of theatre.

A FAIRY TALE FANTASY GETS FABULOUSLY FRACTURED
Things goes awry from the very first line in Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the wildly funny stage comedy where the magic of Neverland meets the mayhem of a production that simply will not behave. The Cornley Drama Society is back, determined to present the classic story of Peter Pan with flying children, ticking crocodiles, sparkling fairies and daring sword fights. Unfortunately, everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Sets collapse, cues are missed, actors panic, props rebel and the famous flight to Neverland becomes a high-flying disaster. Packed with slapstick, surprise, and perfectly timed chaos, this outrageous comedy is a treat for audiences who love live theatre at its most unpredictable. Whether you know Peter Pan by heart or simply enjoy a good laugh, Peter Pan Goes Wrong delivers an evening of delightful disaster, theatrical silliness, and family-friendly fun from start to finish, for every lost boy and grown-up alike.
Originated by the Michief Theatre Company who
brought us The Play That Goes Wrong.
April 7 – 24, 2027
Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields
Based on the original play Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie

THE FLOWER GIRL & THE PROFESSOR CHALLENGE THE POSH OF LONDON
Step into the charm, wit, and unforgettable music of My Fair Lady, the beloved Broadway classic that has enchanted audiences for generations. When opinionated phonetics professor Henry Higgins makes a wager that he can transform Cockney flower seller Eliza Doolittle into a refined lady of society, he discovers that changing a voice is far easier than understanding a heart. Filled with sparkling humour, elegant romance, and some of musical theatre’s most treasured songs, this Lerner and Loewe masterpiece brings Edwardian London to life with style and sophistication. With hits like Wouldn’t It Be Loverly? to I Could Have Danced All Night,” the score is as irresistible as the story is timeless. My Fair Lady is a beautiful blend of comedy, class, transformation, and self-discovery.
A grand musical celebration of finding your voice and
claiming your place in the world. It is live theatre at its most wonderfully charming, moving, and memorable.
June 9 – 26, 2027
Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
Music by Frederick Loewe
Adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion and Gabriel Pascal’s motion picture

AGATHA CHRISTIE’S MISS MARPLE TACKLES HER TRICKIEST CASE
An ordinary village morning takes a sinister turn when a chilling notice appears in the local paper: “A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29th, at Little Paddocks…” The neighbours gather, curiosity gets the better of everyone, and right on schedule, the lights go out and a shot rings through the room.
Agatha Christie’s A Murder Is Announced is a deliciously clever mystery filled with secrets, suspicion, and perfectly timed twists. As Miss Marple quietly observes the residents of Chipping Cleghorn, every alibi begins to wobble and every friendly face becomes a possible suspect. Who placed the announcement? Who was the intended victim? And how many lies can one small village hide?
Elegant, witty, and full of classic Christie intrigue, this beloved whodunit
will keep audiences guessing until the final reveal.
September 9 – 25, 2027
By Agatha Christie
Adapted for the stage by Leslie Darbon
Directed by Dovreshin MacRea
A NOTE ABOUT CHRISTMAS SHOWS AND GETTING THE RIGHT ONE
When Theatre in the Country announces our season each July, we’re already thinking about Christmas… the Christmas that is still 17 months away!
Here’s the festive little catch: securing the rights to a Christmas show can sometimes take up to two months. Meanwhile, we don’t want our Season Ticket holders waiting around until the snow flies to renew, plan ahead, and grab their favourite seats.
So, for now, we’re asking you to trust us to pick something wonderful, merry, and worth the wait.
As soon as the rights are officially secured, we’ll unwrap the big announcement. And if you’ve already purchased your Season Tickets, you’ll have had first choice of seats for our best-selling show of the year.
Consider it a little Christmas mystery… with very good seats attached.
December 1 – 18
