	“Up 'n' Under” by  John Godber 16 th – 21st April This comedy was first staged at the Hull Truck Theatre in 1984. The sequel, Up 'n' Under II, followed in 1985. Up and under is a tactical kick in rugby league in which the ball is kicked high and short onto or behind the defending team. This type of kick is usually made close to the opposition's tryline as an attacking play. It is a phrase made popular by the late TV commentator Eddie Waring who strongly resembles the character played by Griff Rhys Jones. It followed the story of an inept pub team from the Wheatsheaf Arms pub in a rugby league sevens competition in Kingston upon Hull in England. Ex-pro Arthur's only passions in life are his wife and rugby league. When he hears about the 'Cobblers Arms' pub team and their corrupt manager, Arthur bets his life savings with Reg Welch that he can train any team to beat them. However, the 'Wheatsheaf Arms' can only muster a side of four whose pride lies in their unbroken record of defeat. The pitifully unfit set of men have to accept the help of a coach, who just happens to be a woman. They have to struggle through adversity, come up triumphant and become a team. They are given a bye to the final of the competition where they have to play The Cobblers.
	“The Ghost Train” by Arnold Ridley 28th May – 2nd June Play set in the 1930s. "Oh! Mr Porter, what can I do? I want to go to Truro but they have put me off at Fa! Vale wayside station in South Cornwall." "I keeps on telling ye, there bain't no next train and I'm the stationmaster - not the Porter!" But is there a next train? When the signal bell rings a train will come tearing through the station, brakes on and whistles a-blowing. It must be The Ghost Train! Or is it? Find out as the six unfortunate stranded passengers find out and be prepared to be afraid, very afraid!
