• The Importance of Being Earnest

  December 2022
  After a long hiatus of 18 years, the Hughes thespians are back with another production! Performing on the last day of the Michaelmas term, this is the first attempt of the Hughes Players -- a brand new society building on the legacy of the previous HH Theatre Soc -- at a festive and humorous spin on the classics by Oscar Wilde. It is the occasion to be a little overdressed and join our immensely talented cast and crew on this wild ride of romance and identity mysteries... Join us in the cozy Pavilion Room for a night of laughter and adventures!

• And Then There Were None

  February–March 2006
  10 People are trapped in an isolated house - all of them accused of being murderers who have escaped justice. In the drawing room, a large tapestry spells out an old nursery rhyme: "Ten little Indians, sitting down to dine/One choked himself and then there were nine...". The ten guests of the mysterious Mr Owen laugh the accusations off as ridiculous. Then one of the ten chokes to death at dinner and then there are nine... "Nine little Indians staying up late/One overslept himself and then there were eight..." then seven... then six... As their numbers collapse, the crowd realises that one of them must be responsible for these outstanding and psychotic murders. But with no detective at hand, only the suspects can solve the case. They're all equally suspicious though and most of them won't survive the night... A baffling and outstanding puzzle from the Queen of Crime is brought to the stage. Christie rated this as the finest mystery in her canon.
