Cause Celebre by Terence Rattigan

Show dates from 22-25 April 2026
Auditions on 12 and 15 January 2026

Our next production, Cause Célèbre, was Rattigan’s last play, first performed in 1977, just before he died.  It is a courtroom drama based on the true story of Alma Rattenbury, who was put on trial in 1935 with her 18-year old lover for murdering her elderly husband.  It was one of the most sensational trials of the century, with press headlines of sex, drugs, alcohol and bloody violence.  Yet it was also a tale of star-crossed passion, obsessive love and loyalty, with each defendant trying to take the blame alone.  The jury had to decide whether both or one were responsible – and if only one, then which one?   

Roles range from teenage boys to middle-aged males and females with auditions scheduled for 12 and 15 January.  If you would like to audition, or are interested in joining the St Michael’s Players to take part in future plays and our world-famous pantomime, please look around this website for more information, or contact us via the contact button

A few quick notes

Tickets: Our ticketing website allows folks to do a couple of things with their tickets.
  1. Exchange or Return your tickets: Within your confirmation booking email is a "Manage my booking" button. Follow that. Exchanges can only be done if tickets are available in the desired show 
  2. Refund your ticket: Up to 24 hours before the show, tickets can be refunded.
  3. The website offers you ticket insurance - you do not need this. It is nothing to do with us

That means 1 small plate + 1 Cow classic. See sample menu here. This must be booked in advance.  Please call 020 8742 8545  to make a supper booking, mentioning that you are coming for the St. Michael's Players production.  The theatre venue opens at 7.15, and the performances start at 7.45pm.
