Heather/Lady Julia - Ted Gooda

Clemsworth House is falling down and visitors are scarce. Facing financial ruin, owner Basil Neville is prepared to resort to desperate measures to hang on to his ancestral home. Meanwhile, his faithful band of volunteers - fuelled by copious cups of tea - are hoping for a miracle. Or failing that, a lottery win. Could newcomer Alex hold the key to Clemsworth’s future? And will the present finally catch up with the past?

My Second Best Bed 2025
What a fantastic time we had reviving My Second Best Bed at the Farnham Literary Festival, Leith Hill Place and Billingshurst Literary Festival. Many thanks to our lovely audiences. It was so nice to have the opportunity to meet and chat with so many of you after the shows. Here is some of the feedback:
“I loved this. Excellent acting by a great cast in a beautifully written drama that touched my heart.”
"We very much enjoyed today's performance of My Second Best Bed and would like to convey our appreciation to everyone involved. From the first entrance of Archdeacon Dunstan, every word was clear and every character convincing. The whole was conveyed with a lightness and confidence which made it possible for the audience to laugh and ultimately to sympathise. It was a lovely way to pass a Sunday afternoon."
