Each is unacquainted, but each harbours their own secret reasons for stepping over the threshold. What begins as a thrilling psychological exercise quickly descends into a waking nightmare. As the house unleashes logic-defying horrors, the guests' jovial façade shatters into mounting paranoia. But when unexpected visitors arrive to recklessly provoke the spirits, they push the paranormal activity into overdrive. Hill House has awakened. Its evil forces are hungry.

Thursday 12th November 2026 - Saturday 14th November 2026 7:30pm
A programme featuring three very different one-act plays, offering an evening of mystery, comedy and theatrical fun, with something for everyone to enjoy.
"The Wasp's Nest" Directed by Granville Rush The Wasp's Nest is a classic Agatha Christie mystery featuring the famous detective Hercule Poirot. What begins as a seemingly innocent visit soon uncovers a web of jealousy, suspicion and hidden motives. As Poirot pieces together the clues, he must act quickly to prevent a deadly crime before it's too late.
"Anger Management" Directed by Juliet Richards Anger Management is a fast-paced comedy set in the waiting room of an anger management clinic. As an unlikely group of patients gathers for their session, tempers begin to fray, personalities clash, and chaos quickly takes over. Packed with witty dialogue and colourful characters, it's a hilarious look at what happens when nobody can keep their cool.
"Ruby of Elsinore" Directed by Ralph Camp Ruby of Elsinore is a satirical light-hearted parody of Hamlet, centering around a royal hairdresser named Ruby. The play completely turns the tragic drama of Elsinore Castle into a fun, backstage comedy. The play is set in Ruby's House of Beauty in Elsinore and the salon operates under the strict rule "What's said at Ruby's stays at Ruby's". The cast are recognisable Shakespearean characters who come to let their hair down and spill the latest gossip to Ruby.
Leonard Vole stands accused of murdering a rich widow. The stakes are high with shocking witness testimony, impassioned outbursts from the dock, and a young man's fight to escape the hangman's noose.
Generally regarded as one of Christie's most accomplished plays, this suspenseful thriller keeps audiences guessing until the very end.
13 November 7pm, 14 November 2pm & 7pm, 15 November 2pm
Step into the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London for a holiday haunting like you've never heard before. A Musical Christmas Carol reimagines Charles Dickens' timeless tale as a high-octane jukebox experience, clashing the atmospheric grit of the 1800s with a powerhouse, cross-genre soundtrack.
Watch Ebenezer Scrooge's journey of redemption unfold through a visceral blend of traditional carols and modern hits. By weaving haunting contemporary ballads and high-energy rock anthems into the classic narrative, this production bridges centuries to capture the raw, universal heart of the story. It's more than a ghost story-it's an immersive sensory collision where the past meets the present. Rediscover the magic, the melancholy, and the hope of the season in a show that proves some emotions are truly timeless.
Directed by SDC's Michèle Rowland-Jones, the play is performed as a theatrical revue, consisting of a series of eight comedy sketches alternating with short monologues, which combine to provide an acidly humorous perspective on married life from the wedding day through to old age.
Mixed Doubles, which originally debuted under the title We Who Are About To... at the Hampstead Theatre Club on 6 February 1969, features work from an incredible line up of legendary English playwrights including Harold Pinter, Alan Ayckbourn, Fay Weldon and George Melly, with contributions from David Campton, Alun Owen, Lyndon Brook, James Saunders and John Bowen. Commenting on Mixed Doubles, Michèle Rowland-Jones said: "The characters across the eight separate sketches are plagued by various trials and tribulations arising from: their jobs; incidents from their past and married life in general. Designed as a dynamic revue with the cast members playing multiple parts, Mixed Doubles is a departure from the norm for SDC and we look forward to generating some laugher and empathy from the audience, some of whom may identify with the various marital scenarios presented!"

A Month of Sundays is a comedy about the difficulties inherent in growing old and takes place in Cooper's room in a residential home for the elderly, where he has gone to live rather than become a burden on his family.
He flirts valiantly with the female staff, banters with his good friend Aylott and keeps a check on his "record of physical deteriorations". The action revolves around these relationships and the painful ritual of awkward monthly Sunday visits from Cooper's daughter and son-in-law, while Cooper and Aylott realise that life can only be endured if treated as a comedy. Bob Larbey, in partnership with John Esmonde, created much-loved sitcoms from the mid-1960s until the mid-1990s including The Good Life, Please Sir! and Ever Decreasing Circles. His solo successes included A Fine Romance and As Time Goes By. A Month of Sundayswas his first stage play, written in 1986. Director Joy Ridley said: "Having grown up with these classic comedies, seeing Bob Larbey's name was enough to make me want to direct this play. It is a joy to work with a script by such an exceptional comedy writer. There is no big story, it's about the people, so credibly and fondly drawn, and the finely crafted comedy, balanced by unexpected moments of poignancy to remind us life is not a bowl of cherries!"

It's Christmas Eve, 1956. A cold attic, three hard-up lodgers, and a cat that didn't die of natural causes! In a shabby top-floor room in the small cathedral city of Linchminster, Janet Bowering and her two fellow lodgers are getting on with Christmas Eve as best they can. There are cards to open, a drop of sherry from somewhere, and paper chains that have been up rather too many years running. The gas fire has gone out and nobody wants to spend the shilling to relight it.
Down in the street the congregation is arriving for the carol service. All seems well... ... until somebody's cat is found dead! But nobody sends for the police over a cat. So the three of them decide that if it's going to be looked into properly, they had better look into it themselves. Their methods are unorthodox and their nerve is remarkable. But by eleven o'clock that night there is a detective inspector in the attic after all! TABITHA was first performed at the Duchess Theatre, London, in March 1956. It was co-written by Arnold Ridley, known to millions as Private Godfrey in Dad's Army, and to the theatre as the author of The Ghost Train. Tabitha has his particular gift: warm, funny and thoroughly English, but with something somewhat suspenseful moving about underneath it all!
