Studio Theatre Club Presents The Alchemist

BY BEN JONSON

London, 1948
The war has ended and London is slowly trying to return to normal. Rationing is still in full swing and rebuilding after the Blitz has yet to start in earnest. There is a sense of hope in the city but life is hard for many.

In such situations there will always be those looking for a way to get ahead… and also those willing to exploit them. Three enterprising women have set up a thriving business in an empty house, offering to predict the future, guarantee success in life and love, and, for the most favoured clients, create the legendary philosopher’s stone. Unfortunately for the trio, there are those who are not convinced by their schemes and are determined to see them brought to justice.

Can they stay one step ahead of the law, or will it all end in disaster..?

Please note, this medieval building does pose challenges for anyone with mobility issues.
