“The stylistic equivalent of a West End producing theatre set against a picture-postcard backdrop

From Sondheim to Somerset Maugham, Ayckbourn to Wilde, Alan Bennett to David Greig and Irving Berlin to Graham Greene, 2015 at PFT showcases the work of some of the finest ever creators of drama, comedy and musical theatre from England, Scotland, Ireland and the USA.

Given the critical acclaim and remarkably high production standards that PFT consistently achieves, and the exceptionally wide range of styles, periods and genres that distinguishes the 2015 programme, there will be something here

to suit every taste and pocket, no matter when you visit.

Established in 1951, PFT’s Summer Season is a unique British theatrical phenomenon, offering audiences the opportunity to see a different show every day – and two on matinée days! Many regular visitors stay three days and see four different shows, or in the words of our famous slogan, stay six days and see six plays! So why not join 60,000 other theatre-goers this Summer and experience the unique theatrical spectacle that is PFT’s repertoire system?

With a programme of Sunday concerts, Active Arts workshops, backstage tours and talks, a visit to the Theatre in the Hills offers much more than just plays. And adjacent to PFT, there’s also the superb Explorers Garden to discover, where you can follow in the footsteps of the great Scottish Plant Hunters. To help you plan your visit, we’ve also included details of some excellent accommodation providers, restaurants and visitor attractions in this brochure.

So visit Scotland’s favourite theatre in 2015 and you’ll enjoy, as one audience member recently remarked, “West End standards, but not at West End prices”!

“ . . . a glittering, sophisticated musical. Haunting, hilarious, hard edged and brilliant.”

The Sunday Times


Sweden, 1900: a not-so-chance encounter between glamorous actress Desirée Armfeldt and successful lawyer Fredrik Egerman threatens to rekindle an affair which ended 14 years before – despite the fact that, now, neither is exactly unattached . . .

Fredrik has recently married the beautiful Anne, many years his junior – but all is not well in the marital bed. Desirée is involved in an amour with the irredeemably pompous Count Carl-Magnus – and that’s not going quite to plan either. Worse still, Fredrik’s son from his first marriage, the gloomy Henrik, has fallen hopelessly in love with his new step-mother. And Carl-Magnus’s devoted wife, Charlotte, is ready to cast devotion aside, believing that her wandering husband deserves a taste of his own medicine . . .

A Little Night Music“Of course the summer night smiles. Three times. The first smile smiles at the young, who know nothing. The second, at the fools

who know too little. And the third at the old who know too much . . . ”

In an effort to resolve these romantic complications, Desirée invites the main protagonists to a house party at the country estate of her mother, the formidable Madame Armfeldt. But as the wine flows, and the midsummer night casts its spell, just who will end up with whom?

Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece is a deliciously funny exploration of love lost, love found and love rediscovered. With an achingly beautiful score – including The Miller’s Son, The Glamorous Life, A Weekend In The County and the magical Send In The Clowns – this 1973 Broadway classic, performed by a large cast of talented actor-musicians, promises to be the most elegant, romantic PFT musical yet. Could there be a better way to launch the 2015 Summer Season?

“. . . an evening of refined

enchantment.” The Guardian

“. . . gloriously barbed bliss and bewitchment.”

It’s the week before Christmas and at a meeting of the Pendon Writer’s Circle, it’s clear that none of the group’s members are going to be winning the Booker any time soon . . .

Jess and Grace are struggling to get their pet projects – a bodice-ripper and a children’s story – underway. By contrast, Vivvi just can’t stop, having completed her sixth crime novel of the year. The geeky Clem is only part way through the most complicated sci-fi conspiracy adventure ever conceived, whilst Brevis is completely stuck due to his writing partner’s understandable disinterest in Brevis’s latest idea: a musical adaptation of The Pilgrim’s Progess.

Improbable Fictionby Alan Ayckbourn

“You’ve got your imagination, haven’t you? To fall back on? You can make up worlds of your own, can’t you?”

The group’s chairman, Arnold, tries to inspire his colleagues by suggesting that they pool their ideas and collaborate on a joint work, but this revolutionary proposal meets with a distinctly muted reception. Until, that is, the meeting has disbanded, a storm begins to rage – and fiction suddenly becomes fact, when Arnold’s suggestion springs unexpectedly and chaotically to life . . . and the worlds of Wilkie Collins, Edgar Wallace and Arthur C. Clarke collide in the most spectacular way . . .

Alan Ayckbourn’s 2005 comedy is a dazzling, hilarious exploration of what can happen when you let your imagination run wild. If you enjoyed PFT’s hugely popular A Chorus Of Disapproval in 2013, then this is the one for you!

“ . . . provides a theatrical transformation of the magnitude only Ayckbourn can dream of.”

The Guardian

“ . . . acutely witty observations, a reminder that life is full of absurdities.”

1919: with the turmoil of the Great War beginning to recede, life in Britain is returning to – well, not quite normal. For after four years of war, the staid Edwardian era is truly over and the Jazz Age is about to begin . . .

Society beauty Victoria definitely looks to the future. After her first husband, Bill, was killed at Ypres, she went completely to pieces, but managed to pull herself together - after a year’s dutiful mourning - by marrying her husband’s best friend, Frederick.

But then, out of the blue, Bill turns up on the doorstep, a touch of amnesia and a spell in a German POW camp having delayed his return. Surprisingly unaffected by his ordeal, Bill is cheered to see his wife, but a mite put out to discover that she’s acquired another

Home And Beauty by W. Somerset Maugham

“The war is over now, and I think I’ve done my bit. I’ve married two DSOs. Now I want to marry a Rolls-Royce.”

husband. And that it’s his old chum Frederick . . .

Interestingly, Victoria seems unconcerned by the news that she’s a bigamist. Perhaps that’s because she’s decided that soldiers no longer make fashionable husbands - and her solicitor has arranged more divorces than any other lawyer in England. Does she already have eyes on husband number three?

Something of a missing link between Wilde and Wodehouse, Home And Beauty is a high energy, sharp-as-a-tack comedy of morals, manners and marriage by one of the greatest playwrights and novelists of the inter-war years. Don’t miss this rare revival of a classic period comedy!

“. . . a sprightly boulevard comedy . . . the perfect West End treat.” The Daily Telegraph

The Lady In The Vanby Alan Bennett

Sponsored by Katharine Liston in loving memory of Iain Liston

Miss Shepherd used to drive ambulances in the war. She might also have been a nun. Now, she sells pencils and pamphlets, frequently hears voices and enjoys regular visits from the Virgin Mary. Oh, and she lives in a clapped-out, hand-painted Bedford van. Which one day she decides to park in Alan Bennett’s front garden in Camden Town.

Caught in two minds about his uninvited guest, Mr. Bennett debates with himself – quite literally – about the moral implications of playing landlord to such a tenant, whilst Miss Shepherd subjects him to bizarre observations, questionable hygiene practices, unusual (to say the least) political opinions and her very own brand of Catholicism: she was hoping to phone Mother Teresa

“When I’m elected Prime Minister, would I have to move into Downing Street or could I run things from the van?”

for a chat, but Directory Enquiries drew a blank.

Friends, neighbours, relatives, doctors and social workers all come and go, yet Miss Shepherd’s van is still wedged tightly onto Mr. Bennett’s property fifteen years later. And Miss Shepherd clearly has no plans to leave, unless it’s in a van-shaped box . . .

The true story of a complex and unusual relationship, Alan Bennett’s award-winning play from 1999 is a funny, fascinating and wholly unique tale of British eccentricity. If you enjoyed our productions of Habeas Corpus and Single Spies, you’ll love this acclaimed, thoroughly entertaining play from one of Britain’s - and PFT’s - best loved playwrights.

“Very funny, poignant, revealing and splendidly entertaining.” Mail On Sunday

“Bennett is the most generously entertaining of writers, and as always the piece is packed with jokes.”

The Daily Telegraph


The Importance of Being Earnest

“A level of theatrical spectacle no longer

sought or expected on any other Scottish stage”The Scotsman on An Ideal Husband, 2010

Sponsored by The Kuenssberg Charitable Foundation

“Oscar Wilde’s play has a strong claim to being the most

perfect comedy in the English language” The Telegraph


The dependable Jack Worthing, J.P., a pillar of the Hertfordshire community, is profoundly in love with the prim Gwendolyn Fairfax, daughter to the imposing Lady Bracknell.

Jack’s closest friend, the dashing aristocratic playboy Algernon Moncrieff, is besotted with Jack’s ward, the beautiful (and extremely wealthy) Cecily Cardew.

Sadly for both suitors, however, Gwendolyn and Cecily are in love with someone else. Someone called Ernest . . .

All is not lost, however, as it seems that Ernest bears a striking resemblance to Jack – and, somewhat bizarrely, also to Algy. Hardly surprising, given that Ernest is an imaginary “brother” invented by Jack to allowing him to woo Gwendolyn in disguise - and also an alter ego that

The Importance Of Being Earnest

by Oscar Wilde

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does, and that is his.”

Algy assumes to pay court to Cecily under Jack’s very nose.

But when a series of revelations concerning handbags, nannies, novels, prams, lost babies and Victoria Station threaten to unravel Jack and Algy’s web of deception, the men are forced to reveal their true identities – or are they . . ?

A ‘Trivial Comedy For Serious People’, The Importance Of Being Earnest is perhaps the finest comedy ever written. Wilde’s sparkling masterpiece – a distinctly satiric tale of wealth, status and identity in late Victorian England – brings to a lavish climax PFT’s nine year journey through Wilde’s four great plays, which began with A Woman Of No Importance in 2006. Can there be a better way to spend a Summer afternoon or evening?

“A demonstration of how an elaborate costume drama can still be made to grip the audience’s attention from the outset, and to deliver a fierce

and strangely contemporary theatrical punch”The Scotsman on Lady Windermere’s Fan, 2013

PYRENEES


In a mountain pass, high in the Pyrenees, two climbers discover a middle-aged man unconscious in the snow. He wears a coat with an American label and a suit by a tailor in Geneva. In one hand, he clasps a briefcase full of Euros; in the other, the scallop-shell medallion traditionally carried by pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. He has no papers, no passport, and no memory of who he is or how he got there. And he speaks English . . .

Anna Edwards, from the British Consulate in Marseilles, is duly despatched to see if she can establish his identity. But as she and the man sit on a nearby hotel terrace trying to reconstruct his past and confirm his

Pyrenees by David Greig

“Do you have an idea who he is? I don’t want to know. If he’s done something awful, I don’t want to know.”

nationality, an unexpected attraction begins to develop between them.

The sudden arrival of a visitor threatens to undermine their conclusions - and the burgeoning romance. For the newcomer claims that she is the man’s wife. That he has a job, a family and a home in Edinburgh. And that she has been pursuing him across Europe for several months . . .

David Greig is widely regarded as Scotland’s greatest living playwright. Following on from his last play to appear at PFT - Outlying Islands, which received a memorable production here in 2008 - Pyrenees is a mysterious, tense, thought-provoking drama that questions the very meaning of identity.

“A classy, rewarding, engaging drama, Greig’s best to date.”

The Times

“. . . dramatically gripping and richly entertaining.” The Telegraph

In 1950s Cuba, revolution is in the air . . . and the British Secret Service needs a new source of intelligence . . .

Enter Jim Wormold, a hapless vacuum-cleaner salesman. Struggling to pay for his teenage daughter’s extravagant lifestyle, Wormold can’t resist the financial rewards offered for becoming HM Government’s ‘man in Havana’. There’s just one problem: he’s clueless about politics and wouldn’t know a dead letter drop from a double agent . . .

So Wormold decides that invention is the best course of action. And soon, reports of his recruitment of shadowy agents (entirely imaginary) and copies of top secret military plans (diagrams of vacuum-cleaner parts) begin to cross the Atlantic.

But whilst Whitehall is delighted, the regime in Havana is appalled. For it turns out that Wormold’s fantasies are alarmingly close to the truth. And it’s quickly decided that Wormold – and his “agents“ – must disappear . . .

In Clive Francis’s hilarious adaptation, Graham Greene’s classic spy satire (memorably filmed in 1959 with Alec Guinness and Noël Coward) is transformed into a high octane romp through the colourful bars and seedy backstreets of Havana. Featuring a bewildering array of characters played by just four actors, this spectacular tour de force shares the same theatrical DNA as our hugely popular production of The 39 Steps in 2012.

See page 25 for performance dates, including three Sunday matinée shows.

Secrets of the Stage

Now in its third year, this hugely popular illustrated talk is once again led by our Community & Education Director, Drew Scott. It covers all aspects of PFT’s stage productions: from set design and auditions to the rehearsal and set building process, using set models, props and costumes from past PFT

shows. You will also have the opportunity to have answered any questions you may have about our productions.

Having spent several years as Stage Manager here at PFT, Drew is ideally placed to give a personal insight into life backstage. Included in the talk will

Fridays from 3 July to 16 October11.00am–12.30pm

be a ‘sneaky peek’ at the production being “fitted up” on stage that day and a look at how PFT has changed since its early days in the tent, as well as our vision for the future.

Price: £7:50 (Includes tea/coffee and a Danish pastry)


Tours & Talks

Backstage ToursAlways popular, our guided tours take you behind the scenes to reveal the secret spaces and inner workings of PFT!

You’ll visit the Green Room, where our cast and crew relax and prepare to go on stage, see where and how our elaborate costumes are made, have a look at our huge scenery workshop, visit the docks where sets are stored – and, of course, set foot on the famous PFT stage itself!

Along the way, you’ll discover lots of fascinating facts and learn how to tell your gravetrap from your swing technician!

Tours run on most Wednesdays from 24 June until 14 October.

Time: 11.00am • Price: £5.00

(These walking tours last one-and-a-half hours and will involve some stair climbing).

Post Show TalksJoin PFT’s Artistic Director, John Durnin, as he offers a director’s insight into both the show you’ve just seen and PFT’s unique repertoire system. Meet some of the actors from that afternoon’s show - and ask that burning question!

During this talk, you will also see the stage set being ‘turned around’ for the evening performance of a completely different play. We think that’s worth seeing for the ticket price alone!

Price: £3:00

Time: Approximately 5 minutes after the performance.
