Tickets are selling fast for our show A Brief Encounter with Noël Coward.
We’re staging two short Coward plays at the Broadbent Theatre in Wickenby from 9th to 11th October 2025.
Still Life was later turned into the classic black and white movie Brief Encounter, a story of unrequited love set in a railway station tearoom.
Come Into the Garden Maud takes place in a luxury hotel in Switzerland but the themes of love, relationships and temptation are similar.
We’ve got a wonderful cast and the costumes are to die for! Tickets cost £13 (£12 concessions) and can be purchased online at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/broadbent/e-belqyo or by calling the box office on 0333 666 3366.
