Richmond Shakespeare Society : Shoot, Get Treasure, Repeat
by Mark Ravenhill directed by Dawne Cliveley
Five short plays from Mark Ravenhill's Traverse production first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2007.
How far do war and violence interact with our private lives?
Sometimes they shock, sometimes they amuse or sadden, but above all Ravenhill' s plays are compelling theatre. A must for your diary.

Richmond Shakespeare Society : A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare directed by Deborah Campbell
Take four runaway lovers, a mysterious forest, a pack of meddling spirits, a motley comic crew and a love potion to create the Shakespeare's famous tale of amorous mayhem. Set this in the enchanting gardens of York House and you have the perfect summer evening's entertainment.
This is our Open Air Show, in the gardens of York House. Have a picnic before the show or in the interval (wine, beers, Pimms and soft drinks on sale) and enjoy the lovely setting. Please bring your own rugs or chairs as none are provided for the performance.
What about the weather? As you know English summers can be blazing hot or decidedly damp. We intend to carry on with the show come rain or shine so please come suitably prepared.
It is very rare for a performance to be cancelled and never prior to the start time. In the unlikely event of a cancellation please retain your ticket so that it can be exchanged for another night.
Sunday 25th to Saturday 31st July 2010 Performances at 7.45p.m. There is also a matinee at 3p.m. on Saturday, 31st July. There is no performance on Wednesday, 28th July.

Richmond Shakespeare Society : Glengarry Glen Ross
by David Mamet directed by Jay Walsh Glengarry Glen Ross
“Glengarry Glen Ross” is writer David Mamet's masterpiece. In the 1984 classic, his rapid, incisive dialogue is quicker and more brutal than in any other play he's written, and the characters all exhibit a kind of rowdy vileness and vitriolic disposition that is appalling, engaging and astounding. Mamet's message is not just that real estate is a cutthroat business; the real focus of Mamet's 1984 Pulitzer Prize winning play, is the struggle between men - the need for a weak, hurting, woeful individual to lash out against those who prevent him from being better; and the need for those at the top of their game to slander those they know are starving.
Saturday 18th to Saturday 25th September 2010 Performances at 7.45p.m. except for Sunday, 19th September, 6p.m.
There is also a matinee at 3p.m. on Saturday, 25th September. There is no performance on Wednesday 22nd September.
Telephone bookings open on 6th September: Call the Box Office on 020 8744 0547
