Summer Show: Arsenic and Old Lace
We are excited that the Summer Production will be Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring, and directed by Heather Johnson.
In this dark comedy, two charming and gentle old ladies take it upon themselves to poison their lonely lodgers in order to save them from the sorrows of the world. When he discovers their secret, their nephew scrambles to save them from the sorrows of getting caught!
Set in 1940s Brooklyn, New York, the play features a mix of smaller and more significant parts, across all ages and genders.
Performance dates will be July 24-26, and July 31-August 2.
Reservations will be available soon.

Previous Shows
Southbank Players have been operating in the current premises since 1999. Before that we were two separate but closely linked groups - Trident and Osborne Players - both long standing companies with a wide range of experience and an interest in producing challenging drama of a high quality. We've made a list of our previous productions available.

Southbank Playhouse is on Kimberly Drive, just off Sunnyside Street/Ormeau Road. Our building was originally a scout hall and over the past fifteen years we've made a number of improvements to the premises, including the installation oflighting and sound systems, central heating, retractable seating bank, and a refurbished kitchen.
