Get Ready for an Exciting Summer Season 2025
The McGrigor Hall - Six Plays in Six Weeks!

15th July – 23rd August
(performance dates to be confirmed)

Sunflowers

Calendar Girls the Musical
by Gary Barlow & Ian Firth

This hilarious and heart warming musical is actually set in a WI hall - so the McGrigor is the perfect place to see it.  

 

The death of a much loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Women's Institute to do an extraordinary thing. 

This immensely moving and beautiful play won the London Theatre Critics Award for best play of 1980. Both Anne Bancroft and Julie Andrews have played the role of a famous concert violinist who is stricken with a disease which necessitates her retirement from performance.

Alan Cox is returning to Frinton having previously performed here in The Kings Speech and My Fair Lady  and it is being directed by RSC Award winning director Terry Johnson.

Violins

Duet for One
by Tom Kempinsky

Pillow Fight

God of Carnage
by Yasmine Reza

An Olivier and Tony Award winning comedy.

Two sets of parents meet after the son of one couple has hit the son of the other.  What begins as a civilised chat to resolve the matter gradually dissolves into comedy mayhem - as civility turns into chaos.

The master of British farce returns to the Frinton stage. A junior minister plans a spot of extramarital afternoon nookie in a Westminster hotel where he is staying with his wife. He gets his put-upon private secretary to book a room under a false name, only to find his wife unexpectedly returning from a matinee….an orgy of door slamming ensues!

Do Not Disturb

Two into One by Ray Cooney

Artist Performing on Stage

Present Laughter 
by Noël Coward

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine's colourful and extraordinary life is in danger of spiralling out of control. His friends try to warn him to no avail.  

 

Classic, exuberant Coward.

Absolute classic Willy Russell featuring hairdresser Rita’s determined attempts to better herself through education under the auspices of her somewhat reluctant failed poet and tutor, Frank.  

Their ensuing relationship is what makes this play an amazing night in the theatre
