Choosing love would mean disgrace and prosecution as a traitor. Choosing duty means she may die.Underpinning Alan Pollock’s poignant drama is a compelling question - did the Bletchley boffins warn Churchill of the bombing of Coventry? Was a city sacrificed?

Don't just take our word for itWhat Our Audience And Reviewers Say
Essential Surrey
& SW London
“Director Oli Bruce has achieved a long-standing dream of staging Godot, aided by the reliably excellent Guildburys team of actors we have come to expect. A fine evening, great fun, and I’m still thinking about it now! Not to be missed. I look forward to the Guildburys next production at the Electric Theatre in November -Tom Stoppard’s hilarious ‘On the Razzle’."

"Was at last night’s performance with a group of friends and we all thought it was a terrific show, very thought-provoking, well-acted and well staged. We agreed, too, that the scenery changes were fascinating!"

"It was also obvious to me that they were enjoying performing the play as much as the audience enjoyed watching them.The Guildbury Theatre company should be very proud of themselves as they have produced a slick rendering of On the Razzle for Guildford to enjoy……..A triumph for the company and for The Electric Theatre and I highly recommend a visit.’

Diane Nichols made the part of Miss Shepherd entirely her own.” ….. “How the Guildburys managed to find a) two such look-alike actors, b) two who were able to be TOTALLY Alan Bennett, accent, voice intonation, gestures, facial expressions, c) two who had the timing just right, well that was also amazing. Excellent performances both.”….
