The Green Room kicks off 2026 with their New Year production of Ron Clarke’s, A Bench in the Shade.
Annie and Paul were engaged many years ago and now live comfortably at the same retirement community, Seaside Heights Manor. Annie is intrigued by the arrival of a new resident – Italian actor, Roberto. Is this newcomer going to impact on her relationship with Paul?
Fate intervenes and any potential new romance is impeded by news of the retirement home being sold.
A Bench in the Shade offers the audience a perceptive view of ageing and companionship that will touch the hearts of young and old alike and deals affectionately with human connection, senior romance and community.
The cast comprises three seasoned Green Room actors: Annie is played by Cherrill Wyche; Paul is played by Richard Sails; and Andy Neve is Roberto.
Directed by Dave Midgley, A Bench in the Shade runs from the 26th to the 31st January. Evening performances start at 7:45pm and the Saturday January 31st matinée starts at 2.30pm.
Tickets are available via the Saturday morning Box Office at the Green Room: 11am to 12 noon on 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th January.
