We are so proud of our 'Harry' (Timothy Harker) & 'Denise' (Jilly Bond) who have been announced as London Pub Theatre Awards Finalists (Best Two-Hander) for their performances in "TRESTLE". Brilliant news & SO well deserved. Fingers crossed for you both... www.londonpubtheatres.com/pub-theatre-...

The TRESTLE Team have taken their final bow. Thank you to everyone who came to see our show this past 3 weeks & to the Jack Studio for having us in your gorgeous venue. We're super proud of our ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, award nominated show and can't wait to see what happens next. Parker Graham Out (for now!)
