The Titfield Thunderbolt (9th – 11th May)


A play by Philip Goulding. Based on the original Ealing comedy screenplay by T.E.B. Clarke.

Please come and see our next wonderful production – The Titfield Thunderbolt, on the (9th – 11th May, 7.30pm) in St Faith’s Church, Windmill Road, TW8 9NA. This gentle and heartwarming play is based on a popular Ealing Comedy film, and centres around the community of Titfield who pull together to run their branch line after threats of closure, and fight off the competition of a rival bus company. Staged imaginatively inside the church, we are recreating a train station of the early 1950s and may even have our very own train! So don’t miss out!

Tickets £12 each. Doors and bar open at 6.45pm; show starts at 7.30pm. Click on the link below to buy tickets.

“Dick Barton, Special Agent” by Phil Wilmott

“This is the BBC broadcasting from London. It’s time for our next exciting spring production – Dick Barton, Special Agent.”

An hilarious send up of the classic 1940s BBC radio serial, where intrepid sleuth Dick Barton faces his arch-enemies Baron Scarheart and Marta Heartburn in a fiendish plot to disrupt the tea supply to Britain, and again aims to rid the world of evil in the name of decency and patriotism. Please come, and tell all your friends, it’s going to be a very funny show!

Socially distanced performances on the 18th, 19th and 21st May (matinee and evening shows) at the Watermans Theatre. Tickets available on the Watermans website or by ringing 020 8232 1010. Recommended for 12 years old and above.
