Tilly of Bloomsbury is a rediscovered forgotten gem. Super performances all round, loveable characters and some choke on your drink one-liners. Really great to see a quirky comedy like this that also lets the SLT wardrobe shine. Well done everyone involved. Get your tickets for an utterly charming night out.

Congrats to the Tilly Team. A lesson in how to put far too many characters on our modest stage to delight and amuse. Just goes to show how true comedy doesn’t date. The Same Deep Water cast and crew will do our best to follow on ….with fewer fancy hats but a similar number of servings of tea.

Introduction

It's the 1910s and young Matilda Welwyn and Dicky Mainwaring have fallen in love on a London Omnibus.

Dicky's family are coming for a visit . . . now?

100 years old and the comedy still as crisp as a freshly-starched shirtfront, this was the first script ever performed at the Old Fire Station.
