Within These Four Walls which runs in the Judi Dench Playhouse from 22-24 October. Karen falls for a charming man, but darker parts of him soon creep into their relationship. Directed by Atticus Orsborn, this new play aims to expose the behavioural patterns of domestic abuse, investigate the psychology of perpetrators and victims, whilst challenging its audience’s judgement.

Next up in the Judi Dench Playhouse is The Ghost Train a classic thriller that aims to leave you spooked. Despite the frail station master’s warnings that the station is “haunted”, since the fatal wreckage of a train years before, they decide to stay the night. However, what was once construed as an old wives tale soon mounts to latent threat, as the stories of this ominous “ghost train” begin to ring true. And when a disturbed young woman comes knocking, tensions between the group quickly escalate. But with the right people to step up to the mark, these ghoulish spirits might well run out of steam. Climb aboard for this darkly comic, captivating thriller by internationally renowned playwright and actor Arnold Ridley. The Ghost Train runs from 12-20 November and tickets can be purchased here. Surrounded by the serenities of nature, an old face casts a shadow over a glistening lake. After a 17 year absence, a father dares to return to his family - a challenge difficult enough, even without a new girlfriend in tow. Ever since the fatal “accident” which tore their family at the seams, his wife Helen has been left, ridden with grief, to bring up two children. Now, Richard attempts to win back the affections of his family. However, the past cannot help but haunt them, especially when it is lapping at their doorstep. But is Richard revealing all his cards? Will Helen give into his charms? And what happens when people believe that the only way to heal is to hurt? A drama exploring loss, betrayal and revenge. Written by multi-award-winning feminist playwright Theresa Rebeck, the play is inspired by epic Greek Tragedy The Orestei and runs from 6-13 November. Booking details are here. Come along for a good boo, hiss and cheer at Ealing’s Annual Pantomime, back at The Questors Theatre for the first time in 24 months. The Dame is dusting off her best frock, for a celebration like never before.
