Natural Causes - the Old Stagers return to the Malthouse Theatre

Natural Causes - the Old Stagers return to the Malthouse Theatre

28th July - 1st August 2026

The Old Stagers return to Canterbury for their 173rd season, presenting "Natural Causes", a hilarious black comedy where the drinks are lethal, the motives are murderous, and the comedy is to die for! Vincent is a suicide consultant working for Exodus, a company promising: “A beautiful death. All perfectly natural”. Celia Bryce has been depressed for a long time, frequently talking about ending it all. Celia’s husband Walter, a writer, wants to help her depart this world with dignity. Angie is Walter’s ambitious secretary, and together they have a plan for Celia that implies a much darker agenda. Not just a peaceful end; a fresh start. In this razor-sharp black comedy by Eric Chappell (the mastermind behind Rising Damp), the best-laid plans go hilariously wrong. With a rubber plant that’s seen better days, a Samaritan with quite enough of his own problems, and a suicide pact that isn’t all that it seems, the real question isn’t if someone will go – it’s who will be left standing. Performance times at the Malthouse, Canterbury: Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat at 7.30pm; Wed at 2.45pm (no evening performance). This amateur production of “Natural Causes” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
