WELCOME

Hello and welcome to our Autumn/Winter 2023 Season.

We are proud to continue making our own creative productions here in Salisbury. One of the few remaining producing theatres, Salisbury Playhouse is known across the wider sector for the outstanding production values it regularly delivers on stage.

This season sees us increasing the amount of home produced work with three Main Stage productions, all guaranteed to deliver a fantastic night out. Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense, is one of the great comedic hits of the past decade. Full of brilliantly theatrical moments of sheer comedy gold, this fabulous play will kick the season off with joy and panache.

In complete contrast, we then present The Girl on the Train. One of the most popular titles of recent years, first as a novel, then a film and later as a play. A tense thriller, with many twists and turns, we know it will keep you guessing as the winter nights draw in.

The season will end with our ever popular pantomime which this year will see Dick Whittington battling with King Rat on the streets of London. Full of magic, spectacle, laughter and song, it’s the perfect festive treat for the whole family.

Meanwhile at Salisbury Arts Centre, we continue to offer a stream of fabulous nights out. Music and comedy lead the way with a wide range of artists bringing the space alive with a vibrant and varied programme.

We hope you find much to enjoy and we look forward to welcoming you to an event very soon.

JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE

P.G. Wodehouse’s iconic double act lands in Salisbury for a night of very silly nonsense!

Following a riotous weekend at country house, Totleigh Towers, Bertie Wooster has a tale to tell. Forced to play matchmaker between his newt-fancying acquaintance Gussie Fink-Nottle and the girl of his dreams, Madeline Bassett, Bertie must also secure an elusive silver cow-creamer for his formidable Aunt Dahlia.

It’s a tall order, but fortunately he has the help of his loyal valet, the ever-reliable Jeeves, to navigate the many twists, turns and mishaps in this fast paced and dazzlingly inventive comedy. Winner of the 2014 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.
