A Brief Encounter with Noël Coward
October 9th, 10th 11th 2025, 7:30
Still Life & Come into the Garden, Maud
Broadbent Theatre, Wickenby 9th – 11th October 2025
Our production comprises two short plays by Noël Coward, one of which inspired the classic 1945 movie Brief Encounter.
In Still Life, Alec and Laura meet and fall in love in a railway station tearoom. Their relationship is mirrored by the courtship rituals of two other couples. But Alec and Laura are both happily married – will they follow their hearts or bury their love forever?
An American couple are staying in a luxury Swiss hotel in Come Into the Garden, Maud. But Anne-Mary is petulant and domineering, while her husband Verner is quiet and philosophical.
Verner is drawn to the widow of an Italian prince, Maud Caragnani, who pays the couple a visit. Will he take a chance on love, or remain stuck in his loveless marriage?
Tickets cost £13 (£12 concessions).

We need YOUR help!
Regular guests to our lovely theatre in Wickenby will be familiar with our car park. In summer, it does the job. But when winter or poor weather rolls around, our car park floods making it both muddy and slippery. We are fundraising to put proper drainage into the carpark, put up new lighting, lay down new shingle, add disabled bays and replace all of our signage.
