The Time Machine: A Comedy

The Time Machine: A Comedy

By Steven Canny and John Nicholson

A fast-paced, wise-cracking, riotous play, loosely based on H.G. Wells's masterpiece, that zips from the nineteenth century to the end of the world, and (with any luck) back again.

The Hound of the Baskervilles

The Hound of the Baskervilles (stage version - new edition)

By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Adapted by Steven Canny and John Nicholson

A revised, definitive version of this riotously funny take on the celebrated Sherlock Holmes story, a firm favourite with theatre companies, both professional and amateur.
