From 23 Sep to 18 Oct 2014

Primavera presents First Episode, written by Terence Rattigan, co-authored by Philip Heimann and directed by Tom Littler.
Synopsis: Based on the true story of a movie star's appearance in an Oxford student play. Tony and David have been best friends throughout their time at university, but does their loyalty go deeper than ordinary friendship? When Tony falls in love with the beautiful movie star Margot Gresham, in Oxford to appear in a play with the undergraduates, their relationship is put to the test.

From 25 Nov to 20 Dec 2014

Evergreen Theatrical Productions presents The Green Bay Tree, written by Mordaunt Shairp.
Synopsis: Telling the story of a beautiful young man as he is forced to choose between the love of his fiancee and the lifestyle of his male mentor, the work is a comedy of manipulation and self-repression.
