Deckchairs
The Swan Theatre Amateur Company (STAC) production of Jean McConnell’s five playlets, Deckchairs, brings a breath of sea air to the Swan Theatre studio, Worcester 27th - 30th May at 7.45pm, then again at The Coach House Theatre, Malvern 11th – 13th June at 7.30pm, with a matinee at 2.30pm on 13th June.
The five conversations, both funny and poignant, take place on a seaside promenade as ten very different women discuss love, longing and betrayal – plus shopping sprees and canine companions.
Doggies compares two different views on how to live with a woman’s best friend; Early Blight examines a fraught mother/daughter relationship and exposes a dark secret, while Shoppers introduces us to two well-heeled shopaholics. In Late Frost we meet two old friends who have more in common than you might think, and Dancers celebrates a passion for ballroom dancing and dreams of passion of another kind.
STAC is delighted to welcome three new members, Kate Moore, Sarah Gill and Kimberley Bevan to the cast, who will be acting alongside seven long-standing STAC members.

Sherlock Holmes and the Bitter of the Baskervilles
Following a string of award-winning and critically acclaimed productions the team behind The Old Joint Stock Theatre is heading back outdoors for Summer 2026 with a brand-new open-air theatrical adventure: Sherlock Holmes and the Bitter of the Baskervilles: An Untapped Tale. The show is written by Adam Meggido, co-creator/director of Showstopper! The Improvised Musical, the first improvised show ever to win an Olivier Award .
After the success of last summer’s charming open-air tour of Wind in the Willows, the Old Joint Stock’s in-house theatre company returns with a fresh mystery packed with intrigue, comedy, live music, and razor-sharp wit, all performed in pub gardens and outdoor venues across the UK.
Sherlock Holmes and the Bitter of the Baskervilles: An Untapped Tale invites audiences to step into a world of mystery and deduction as the legendary detective tackles a thrilling new case filled with twists, turns, suspicious characters, and clever revelations. Set against the backdrop of atmospheric summer evenings, audiences can enjoy an unforgettable night of outdoor theatre with a drink in hand.
The production continues The Old Joint Stock’s commitment to creating ambitious, accessible theatre experiences that bring bold storytelling directly to audiences in unique and intimate settings.
Emily Susanne Lloyd, Director, comments:
“After the incredible response to Wind in the Willows last summer, we knew we wanted to create another outdoor experience that felt theatrical, playful, and completely immersive. Sherlock Holmes is the perfect next step for us, it’s packed with humour, suspense, and larger-than-life characters, whilst still allowing us to create something intimate and exciting in pub gardens across the country. We can’t wait to bring this hilarious and mysterious adventure to audiences this summer.”
