Lord Arthur Savile's Crime
By Constance Cox
From a short story by Oscar Wilde
Quay Theatre, Sudbury
Thursday 7 to Saturday 9 May 2026
7.30 pm. Saturday matinee 2 pm
Director - Tim Lodge
Young Lord Arthur is told by a palm-reader (of questionable veracity) that, during his life, he is to commit a murder. In order to marry his fiancé, Sybil, with a clear conscience (!) he decides he must do this before their wedding day. Not the brightest of aristocrats, what follows is a hilarious range of failed attempts by Arthur on the lives of his family members, all with the guidance of his faithful butler, Baines.
Old fashioned silliness to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step!

Bury Theatre Workshop is proud to present its 14th year of outdoor Shakespeare in the Abbey Gardens!
​
The roguish Falstaff is at it again in this classic comedy. BMI challenged Falstaff attempts to seduce the already married Mistress Page and Mistress Ford but quickly learns that he is in for more than he bargained for as the two women team up to teach him a lesson. Full of trickery, secrets, and disguises (and a song or two!). Can love win out over jealousy?
Arrive early with a chair or blanket, sun screen and a picnic for a few hours of Elizabethan silliness in the beautiful Abbey Gardens.
