Our November 2025 Production
At the Barn Theatre, Little Easton
12th -15th November 2025
We present a Double Bill of Two one-act Plays:
Still Life
&
Star Chamber
By Noel Coward


The short play Still Life was the basis for Coward's movie Brief Encounter. In a suburban railway station, Dr. Harvey removes a cinder from Laura's eye and they fall in love. Subsequent weekly meetings over tea, scenes debating respectability or love, and some sentimental moments transpire before they decide they must part forever.
In Star Chamber, A meeting takes place of the management committee of a theatrical charity, the "Garrick Haven Fund", to benefit a retirement home for destitute actresses. The committee consists of actors, who sit around a table. The stylish president of the board, the actress Xenia James, is accompanied by a small lapdog named Atherton, who is banished to the prop room for being smelly.
So Calling all Noel Coward Fans !!
