Little Women
Southside is proud to present Little Women, a new adaptation from Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, loved and read all over the world.
Little Women is the timeless saga of four girls – Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy – growing up in genteel poverty during and after the American Civil War.
Meg, the eldest, is the family beauty; Jo the headstrong tomboy gifted with literary talent and a sharp tongue. Beth is kindly, anxious – and sadly stricken with Scarlet Fever. The youngest, Amy, is a proper little lady – socially adept and secure in knowing what she wants.
The heart of the family is ‘Marmee’, the girls’ mother. She guides her daughters as they find their (sometimes difficult) way from older childhood to the glories of becoming young women.
And the men in their lives – Father, shaken by his experiences of the war; upright John, who loves Meg; and young Laurie, who loves Jo – but can she return his feelings?

Black Comedy
A work of pure, farcical genius, Black Comedy blends physical slapstick, a great gag about lighting and visual comedy that is timed to perfection. Unknown artist Brindsley is desperately trying to impress his potential future father in law, as well as a famous German art dealer, by throwing a drinks party. So he’s ‘borrowed’ (pinched!) some expensive rare furniture from his antique dealer neighbour without his permission. Then there’s a power cut! In total darkness (don’t worry the audience sees everything, it is the characters who can’t ‘see’ apparently) the teetotal lady upstairs who is afraid of the dark arrives, the antique dealer neighbour returns unexpectedly, and so does Brindsley’s jealous, former mistress. The problem is no one can see anyone and chaos ensues. This is a clever but very, very funny play guaranteed to pick you up; laughs galore.
“Genuinely funny, rip-roaring in fact… and shows what magic the theatre can be when the aim is simply to entertain.” British Theatre.Com on Black Comedy

The Ghost Train
All aboard for a classic thriller that will leave you spooked
When a young chap foolishly loses his hat out of a train window, a group of passengers miss their connecting train. In the dead of night, they now find themselves stranded in the middle of the rural Cornish countryside, with the next train not set to arrive until morning.
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. Originally staged in 1925 in the West End, this fresh revival of Ridley’s classic play is tantalising and suspenseful in equal measure.
