On a cold December night, three strangers gather on the platform of Paddington Station to take the sleeper train to Cornwall. They have no idea that they are about to embark on a journey that will change their lives forever.
Following receipt of a cryptic letter, the three passengers must make their way to Montague Manor, in time for the reading of a will belonging to a man they never knew. Only those present at 8am will receive a bequest.
There is a catch – they can neither tell nor trust anyone…
The Jack is back this Christmas with a new play by Luke Adamson. Montague’s Millions is presented by the award-winning in-house team behind Oh No It Isn’t!, Wolves of Willoughby Chase, A Christmas Carol and The Invisible Man.
by Mark Farrelly

Can you imagine being terrified of your own happiness? You can? Then let’s begin…
Frankie Howerd was one of Britain’s most loved comedians for half a century. But he had a secret. And the secret’s name was Dennis.
Howerd’s End by Mark Farrelly (Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope, Jarman, Silence of Snow) takes you to the heart of Frankie and Dennis’ clandestine relationship, which lasted from the 1950s until Frankie’s death in 1992. It also affords a glorious opportunity to encounter Frankie in full flight stand-up mode.
Packed with laughter, but unafraid of truth, Howerd’s End portrays two humans’ journey through closeness, love, grief, and all the other things that make life worth living. Come and say farewell to a legend…and learn the art of letting go.
Starring Simon Cartwright as Frankie Howerd and Mark Farrelly as Dennis Heymer

Frederick, on leave from military service, finds his mother Agatha destitute on the streets and close to death. To secure her survival he draws his sword on a wealthy Baron but is quickly captured and imprisoned. The penalty for his actions is death.
Baron Wildenhaim has further troubles of his own. His daughter Amelia refuses his choice in marriage, and pursues instead her tutor Anhalt.
Will Amelia get her way? Will Frederick escape his fate?
First performed in 1798, this play is the work of trailblazing actress and writer Elizabeth Inchbald. It was the hit of the season at Covent Garden. Jane Austen knew the play and Lovers’ Vows featured in her novel Mansfield Park, where it was considered too scandalous to perform.
Rarely produced since the 1850s, Historia Theatre Company brings new life to this intriguingly little known gem.
