The Allotment

27 Feb 2026 – 14 Mar 2026

Playwright
Gillian Plowman
Director
Lin Lattimer
Four women are serving community punishment orders and are growing the vegetables for soup kitchens on an allotment. Marcie is convicted of dangerous driving; Norah, a serial shoplifter; Belle has blackmailed her boss and Lorna, an actress, is convicted of criminal damage. It is the first morning for Daisy, the new probation officer, and the tables are cleverly turned when a traumatic event in her past puts her on a par with the others. The Allotment is preceded by a short work by Barbara Yates Rothwell called That's Showbiz!, where an adjudicator arrives to judge a local village drama festival.
