Neville's Island

A farcical dark comedy and a hilarious evening out

Four out-of-condition clueless middle managers are forced on the outdoor awayday from hell.

Shipwrecked, wrapped in thick fog and cut off from civilisation with one cold sausage between them, Gordon, Angus, Roy and the hapless Neville‎ are about to experience the misadventure of their lives…

From the critically acclaimed Tim Firth, writer of Calendar Girls, The Band and Our House. This fresh new production of an award nominated West End comedy, is the perfect entertainment to welcome you safely back to live theatre, on your doorstep this summer.
