ALL THE GEAR, NO IDEA
September 1, 2026
Great Missenden and Angling Spring Wood
September 1, 2026Noël Coward
Thursday 8th – Saturday
12th September, 7.45 pm plus Saturday matinee, 2.30 pm
Coward’s sparkling, irreverent drama was initially banned for its daring depiction of a ménage á trois. Its themes – personal freedom, sexual identity, alternative lifestyles – are just as relevant in the age of internet relationships. The dialogue drips with humour and irony, as well as darker truths about the human condition. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd www.concordtheatricals.co.uk.
Tickets £12,
Concessions £10

Alfie Moore
