🎩 The criminal chaos rolls on… Week Two has arrived!
The Ladykillers is back on stage for another round of beautifully bungled brilliance.
Our favourite band of “musicians” is still hard at work perfecting their most questionable performance yet — a heist disguised as a string quartet rehearsal. Meanwhile, Mrs Wilberforce continues to offer tea, kindness, and an accidental masterclass in outwitting criminals.
If you’re craving sharp British humour, eccentric characters, and a story that spirals into glorious, theatrical mayhem, this one’s for you.

🎭Opening night🎭 of The Ladykillers saw the curtain open on the heist of the century... well maybe it would have been if it had gone to plan…
Anyway, we managed to capture some photo’s as evidence.
Step into a world of classic British comedy where nothing goes to plan — especially for a gang of hopeless criminals posing as a string quintet. Their “perfect heist” quickly unravels into glorious chaos, and the only person standing in their way is the sweetest, most unshakeable widow in London.
The result? A comedy caper packed with sharp timing, eccentric characters, and escalating mayhem that is packed with laughs. 🎻

🎭✨ Opening Night Has Arrived! ✨🎭
🎩 The Ladykillers; a deliciously dark comedy opens tonight at The 1812 Theatre
What happens when a sweet, elderly widow rents out her spare room to a group of “musicians”… who are actually the most hopeless criminals in London? You get a heist gone wrong, a house full of chaos, and a comedy that spirals into glorious mayhem.
Mrs Wilberforce, ever vigilant and always ready to report suspicious behaviour, unwittingly becomes the biggest obstacle to Professor Marcus and his gang of crooks. Their plan? Pose as a string quintet, pull off a bank robbery, and slip away unnoticed. Their problem? They’ve underestimated the sharp instincts — and sheer unpredictability — of one determined old lady.
This stage adaptation of the beloved 1955 film delivers a perfect blend of wit, charm, and darkly comic disaster.

🎭 Meet the mastermind behind the mayhem. Susan Rundle — Director of The Ladykillers
While the crooks in The Ladykillers can barely organise themselves out of a paper bag, the production itself is in the hands of someone who knows exactly what she’s doing.
✨ Susan Rundle
Susan has taken this classic British comedy and shaped it into a live production that is fast, clever, and a beautifully controlled explosion of chaos. She has an instinct for character, a precision for pacing, and a wicked sense of theatrical fun. Come see the world she has created.

🎩 The world of The Ladykillers is filling up with wonderfully eccentric characters…
This deliciously dark comedy is packed with crooks, confusion, and neighbours who can sniff out trouble faster than a kettle reaches the boil. Today, we’re delighted to introduce two of the sharp eyed ladies who orbit Mrs Wilberforce’s world — and unintentionally add to the delightful chaos.
✨ Valerie Mitchelmore as Mrs Femsby: Mrs Femsby is the kind of neighbour who notices everything — the comings, the goings, the odd noises, the suspicious “musicians” carrying oddly heavy instrument cases. She pops in with the warmth of a friendly visitor but carries the curiosity of someone who could write a full report if asked.
🌸 Susana Grest as Mrs Tromleyton: Elegant, expressive, and delightfully dramatic, Mrs Tromleyton is a woman who treats everyday life as though it’s taking place on a grand stage. Whether she’s sharing news, offering opinions, or reacting to the latest oddity in the neighbourhood, she does it with flair.

🎩 The mayhem continues to build as The Ladykillers prepares to storm The 1812 Theatre… Opening 21 May!
This beloved British comedy is packed with crooks, chaos, and plans that wobble like a teapot on a runaway trolley! Based on the classic 1955 film, The Ladykillers follows a mismatched gang of thieves who hide out in the home of the sweet but sharp Mrs Wilberforce. Their scheme starts off neat and tidy.. and then unravels rather quickly.
Let us introduce three more wonderfully unhinged members of Professor Marcus’s “musical ensemble.”
✨ Christian Brown as Harry Robinson: Quick tempered, sharp tongued, and wound tighter than a clock spring, Harry Robinson is the gang’s resident hothead. He’s the kind of criminal who can keep his nerve during a robbery but loses it completely when someone misplaces a teacup. Harry Robinson is a man who’s always two seconds away from exploding yet somehow remains one of the more competent crooks in the room (which isn’t saying much).
🧢 Mark Cluning as One Round: Gentle, towering, and wonderfully simple minded. One Round is the muscle of the operation — though he’d probably prefer a biscuit to a brawl. With a heart as big as his frame and a brain that occasionally takes the scenic route, he’s the gang’s most unexpectedly lovable liability.
🕶️ Tim Bryon as Louis Harvey: Cool, clipped, and perpetually irritated, Louis Harvey is the gang’s resident hard edge — or at least he tries to be. He prides himself on being the “professional” of the group, though his patience wears thin faster than a cheap shoelace.
