Rookery Nook
WRITTEN BY BEN TRAVERS and DIRECTED BY LYNNE DEVENISH
PERFORMANCE DATES 13th – 28th April.
Set in 1926, this classic Ben Travers farce takes us away from today’s tacky graphic sex, drugs and
violence filled world, to an age of naughty innocence. The main players plunge deeper into trouble as they
try to wheedle their way out of the sticky situation they find forced upon them.
