A Wake In The West Belvoir Players present 'A Wake in the West' by Michael J Ginnelly over 3 nights on Thursday 26, Friday 27 and Saturday 28 August at 8pm. An old farmer dies in the West of Ireland coastal area and his doctor informs the family of his wishes to be cremated and his ashes swept out to sea. His family are devastated at such an idea, as there's "no where here to burn a body", and decide in deference to his wishes to bury his remains at sea. His son returns from America to be reunited with the girl he left behind; a neighbour covets the old man's dentures, while his long suffering daughter tries to hold the family together throughout this period of family turmoil resulting in this hilarious farce.

Three couples Southbank Playhouse presents 'Absurd Person Singular' by Alan Ayckbourn on Thursday, Friday, Saturday 2, 3, 4 August at 8pm.

Three couples. Three different parties. Too many crises to count. They say you will always find them in the kitchen at parties, and this hilarious play from Alan Ayckbourn focuses on all those intriguing little subplots which tend to play out in the background at social gatherings. Three couples, each with their own neuroses and ulterior motives, do their best to enjoy each other's parties, despite suicidal tendencies, over excited canines and the constant threat of playing party games.

Don't Lose The Place Holywood Players presents 'Don't Lose The Place' by Derek Benfield on Thursday, Friday, Saturday 9, 10, 11 August at 8pm.

When Sylvia's boyfriend Robin walks out on her she decides on a rather unconventional method of finding a replacement. Determined not to be let down a second time, she has carefully arranged a timetable in order to 'try out' various assorted lovers and assess their suitability before making her final choice of a potential husband. But timetables have a way of going wrong ... A torrent of confusions and mistaken identities inevitably arise as Sylvia and her friend Jemma try, with unexpected and hilarious results, to prevent the final confrontation of the three trial husbands. A delightfully comic climax ensues.
