🎭 SNIFF - Luton Library Theatre
Wednesday 07 May 2025
Time: 19:30 - 22:00
🎭 A dark, funny ode to the forgotten. Sniff is the story of two strangers who meet in a pub toilet that no one cares about. Are they killing time or drawn together through some dark drug and gambling-fuelled connection?

ABOUT:
Two strangers meet in a pub toilet in a small town that no one cares about. Liam, struggling with addiction and money troubles, has never left the claustrophobic town that birthed him. He's lost everything, if he ever had it. Alex, cloaked in a Hugo Boss suit and the pride of a job in Canary Wharf, comes down to visit this quaint place with his girlfriend. It seems like he has everything. However, as the door locks, and time clocks, a dark connection begins to unearth itself.
❗️Contains references and onstage depictions of drug use, references to gambling and gambling addiction, verbal references to a past suicide, onstage violence and description of violence, strong language.
🎟 TICKETS COST: £17.00

🥳 Abigail's Party at The Place Theatre in Bedford
Wednesday 07 May 2025
Time: 19:30
🥳 Step into the suburban world of 1977, where the gin flows as freely as the tension in Mike Leigh’s iconic dark comedy, Abigail’s Party.
📆 2025 DATES & TIMES
▪️07 May, 19:30
▪️08 May, 19:30
▪️09 May, 19:30
▪️10 May, 19:30
🎭 ABOUT:
Beneath the veneer of polite conversation and cheese and pineapple sticks lies a simmering undercurrent of ambition, resentment, and social one-upmanship. As Beverly and her husband Laurence host a soirée for their unsuspecting guests—Angela, Tony, and the anxious Sue (whose teenage daughter, Abigail, is throwing a party of her own nearby)—the evening spirals into a brilliantly uncomfortable clash of class, aspiration, and ego.
A sharply observed satire of middle-class pretensions and the cracks beneath the surface, Abigail’s Party is as deliciously excruciating as it is laugh-out-loud funny.
Come join us for a night of awkward encounters, passive-aggressive exchanges, and 1970s nostalgia at its finest.

🥳 Abigail's Party at The Place Theatre in Bedford
Thursday 08 May 2025
Time: 19:30
🥳 Step into the suburban world of 1977, where the gin flows as freely as the tension in Mike Leigh’s iconic dark comedy, Abigail’s Party.
📆 2025 DATES & TIMES
▪️07 May, 19:30
▪️08 May, 19:30
▪️09 May, 19:30
▪️10 May, 19:30
🎭 ABOUT:
Beneath the veneer of polite conversation and cheese and pineapple sticks lies a simmering undercurrent of ambition, resentment, and social one-upmanship. As Beverly and her husband Laurence host a soirée for their unsuspecting guests—Angela, Tony, and the anxious Sue (whose teenage daughter, Abigail, is throwing a party of her own nearby)—the evening spirals into a brilliantly uncomfortable clash of class, aspiration, and ego.
A sharply observed satire of middle-class pretensions and the cracks beneath the surface, Abigail’s Party is as deliciously excruciating as it is laugh-out-loud funny.
Come join us for a night of awkward encounters, passive-aggressive exchanges, and 1970s nostalgia at its finest.
