A young bride lives above a bank with its assistant manager, her husband Peter, and innocently sends a mail order for some Scandinavian glassware – what comes is Scandinavian pornography!
The plot revolves around the hilarious efforts to conceal the veritable flood of pornographic photographs, books, films, and eventually mail order girls that threaten to engulf this happy couple. Adding to the mayhem are Peter’s mother, his boss, a visiting bank inspector, a police superintendent, and a befuddled best friend
who operates with the best intentions but only ends up creating opposing circumstances. This production entertained audiences in London and on Broadway with its fast paced wit and endless slamming doors!

This is the worldwide debut of Survive Another Day written by local playwright and Theatre Windsor member, Ian Bruno. An entirely new genre is created by this playwright – British sex farce meets zombie invasion. David is a respected university professor with a beautiful wife. There’s only one hitch – he has a girlfriend on the side. His friend George tries loyally, albeit under the influence of a great deal of brandy, to keep David’s secret safe. It would be so much easier without policemen, nosy neighbours, and a mindless army of zombies attacking London! The first act will slay you...the second act you may find yourself slain! WARNING: Blood, gunshots, mild language, and hilarity.

Steel Magnolias

The action is set in wise cracking Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana where ‘any lady’ who is ‘anybody’ comes to get her hair done. Along with stylish coifs and the latest hair colours, the outspoken Truvy dispenses ‘free’ advice to an interesting cast of characters. An eager new assistant, an eccentric millionaire, a victim of a raging sweet tooth and a local social leader, M’Lynn, trade hilarious wit until the sudden realization of their own mortality comes to the forefront. The underlying strength and love of the characters for each other gives this play a special quality that makes it a touching and funny story.
