Seeds of Doubt

A comedy written by Peter Gordon in 1991, set in a suburban garden. While Alan attempts to tend his vegetable plot, his peace of mind is disturbed, not only by his impending fortieth birthday, but also by doubts about the fidelity of his wife, Claire.

The quiet of his garden initially provides some respite from his worries but this is soon disturbed by the ongoing squabbles of his neighbours, Jill and Dave. When a secret message falls into the wrong hands, a chain of events is set in motion which affects not only the two couples but also their friends, the well-meaning but inept Derek and the recently separated Sarah.

Alan’s concerns are temporarily eased by a surprise birthday party but the evening’s events only serve to throw the other relationships into turmoil, sowing the seeds of doubt for everybody!

Access to the theatre is via a ramp, wheelchair space in the auditorium can be reserved in advance by booking seats on 01482 812750
