Behind the scenes

Rehearsals for The Ladykillers are underway and all is well. Here is a 'behind the scenes' glimpse of a recent rehearsal at The Two Brewers, Olney.



More clips to follow over the coming weeks as we gear up for the big performance 8-12 July.

Alec Guinness in The Ladykillers

Shame on you if you've never seen the original Oscar nominated, BAFTA award winning version of The Ladykillers! Featuring comedy geniuses Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers with a cameo appearance from the late, great Frankie Howerd, The Ealing Studio production of The Ladykillers was voted 36th greatest comedy of all time by Total Film magazine in 2000 and in 2006 featured in Film 4's 50 Films to See Before You Die.

As our production (8-12 July 2008 at The Chrysalis Theatre, Milton Keynes) is based on the original script, we've found a YouTube trailer to give you a taster.

What's On

8 - 12 July 2008
The Ladykillers: The Chrysalis Theatre, Camphill, Milton Keynes

We are delighted to present the stage play of what is arguably the greatest "Ealing Comedy" film – the Ladykillers (made in 1955 and starring Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom and many more!).

A gang of gentleman crooks, led by the sinister Professor, use a sweet, if rather eccentric, granny as a pawn in their scheme to steal a large quantity of cash in a security van heist.

All goes to plan when the innocent old lady unwittingly plays her part for the men she thinks are humble musicians. But, when she finally catches on to what's happening and threatens to inform the police, our thieves are left with a problem. Surely disposing of this elderly witness can’t be too hard…
