The Country Wife, 16th to 20th March, 19:45
An amateur performance presented by The Henley Players. Banned from the stage for 200 years, this is one of the funniest Restoration comedies of the period. A notorious womanizer hatches a plot to seduce the women of London society. By spreading rumours of his own impotency he gains the sympathy of the men in town and access to their wives. Meanwhile, a young country bride arrives with her possessive husband, who fears being cuckolded. But she is determined to enjoy the pleasures of the town, especially those of being loved by Mr Horner...

The Boyfriend, 16th to 18th and 22nd to 24th April, 19:45 but 16:00 on Sunday 18th
Presented by Henley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society. Polly (the original poor little rich girl) Browne is forbidden by her wealthy and widowed father to have a boyfriend for fear they would only be after her money. But Polly falls in love with a humble delivery boy. The headmistress of the French finishing school she attends is an unexpected ally! A fun and feisty show for all the family.
