Honour by Joanna Murray Smith
First produced in Melbourne in 1995, then at the National Theatre in 2003 and the West End in 2006, this modern classic brings a wrenchingly honest look at a familiar theme - the break up of a 30-year marriage. The play charts the shifting power balance between the four characters: George, the rather pompous literary critic; Honor, who gave up her writing career to to be the devoted wife; their fiesty daugher Sophie; and Claudia, the attractive ambitious young journalist who sets her cap at George. The play explores the nature of love. passion and commitment with honesty and humour and provides four cracking parts for actors.
Hosted by Sharon Trotter

The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan
What to do when you're in love with someone who is in love with you, only because they think you're actually someone else? Two young couples, a moralistic widow, an Irish suitor, disguise, intrigue, love letters, Sheridan's rapier wit and satire are the perfect ingredients for this ultimate cocktail of a comedy of manners.
Hosted by L J Hickerton

It Was a Carry On by Anthony Smith (Hosted by Anthony Smith)
It's 1967 and the cast of the movie Carry on Doctor have gathered at the famous Pinewood Studios in London to finish filming some scenes before they break for Christmas. When the cameras stop rolling the relationship between the actors and the ups and downs they have had with each other all come to light.
This new play, written by a Woodhouse member, is full of good old-fashioned humour, bringing to life these great iconic stars of the Carry On films who became so famous around the world.
US and THEM by David Campion (Hosted by Jackie Withnall)
A one-act play written in 1977 which is still regularly seen at drama festivals and can be performed by any number of actors of either sex. It's quite a physical play and I thought it might be fun to actually get up and move around. The dialogue can be divided between the characters in different ways. Characterisation is projected onto the lines. Essentially the story is about two different groups who meet midpoint and how they interact. A Recorder observes the scene and comments on it. Will anyone learn from the notes he has taken?

Hamlet Part II by Perry Pontac
One of Perry Pontac's series of Shakespearean spoofs, Codpieces, Hamlet Part II takes up where Part I leaves off (spoiler alert: everyone is dead) and imagines what happens next. It's very silly, fun to read (it's written in iambic pentameter and fairly bounces along) and works brilliantly whether you're a Shakespeare expert or not. Four parts, 3m 1f.
Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet
In the dog-eat-dog world of American real estate four ruthless salesmen are battling it out to win a brand new Cadillac. But in a gloomy Chinese restaurant an underhand plan is hatched to rob the company's head office. David Mamet's masterpiece is packed with intrigue, tension, bombastic egos and short tempers. (Warning: contains very strong language throughout)Hosted by Chris Jeffries and Helen Thomas
