Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
The Stranger is a gripping play by Agatha Christie, adapted from her own short story “Philomel Cottage.” The narrative revolves around Enid, who breaks off her long-standing engagement to marry the charming and mysterious Gerald. They move to a secluded country cottage, which initially seems like a romantic escape. However, the story takes a dark turn as secrets unravel, and Enid discovers that Gerald may not be the man she thought he was. The play explores themes of deception, love, and the realization that sometimes the greatest danger can come from those closest to us. It’s a psychological thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, culminating in a dramatic and unexpected climax.
Workington Playgoers
The Theatre Royal, Washington Street Workington has been the home of the Workington Playgoers for the past 90 years. In that time, its stage has witnessed several hundred performances by Playgoers’ members. The Playgoers will present five productions in 2025. You can see several additional shows produced by individuals and companies who have hired our theatre this year. As a member of the Playgoers you will have the opportunity to take part in our productions in a variety of ways. If you love acting, the Playgoers can give you with the opportunity to display your talents, to build upon them and learn new theatre skills (for example, through the occasional acting workshops held). If you have a flair for costume or set building, or perhaps would like to get technical with creating sound and lighting designs, then our Wardrobe Department, Stage Crew and Technical Crew are ready to welcome you! Or perhaps you would enjoy being part of our friendly Front of House Team, greeting the public on show nights, working in the box office, or serving patrons in our lovely new bar area. Workington Playgoers aim to give its members more than just an opportunity to “put on a play”. We want to make the Theatre Royal a regular venue for members to take part in social nights, rehearsed play readings, quizzes and other events for socialising and being a part of The Playgoer’s family.
