8pm Thursday - Saturday

Has 'political correctness' gone mad? Is censorship overshadowing common sense? Or is it vital to protect vulnerable people against prejudice?

Meet Kenneth, a middle manager in a stringent office environment. His task for the day: talk some sense into employee John - currently being reprimanded over the hot topic of harassment. But what is - and what is not - acceptable to say? amendments: A Play On Words is a political comedy drama that packs a punch, delivering controversial debate, dazzling word play and perfect comic timing.

Following a canceled UK Tour in 2020 (due to some pesky thing called a 'pandemic') ★★★★★ Middleweight Theatre are back and ready to split opinion.
