The Full Monty
The Place Theatre, Bedford- June 2026
Our first large-scale production as Off The Leash Theatre, The Full Monty was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
This hilarious and heartfelt play followed six unemployed Sheffield men who decide to form an unlikely striptease act, discovering friendship, confidence, and courage along the way. Combining laugh-out-loud comedy with powerful emotional moments, The Full Monty proved to be a huge hit with Bedford audiences.
The production enjoyed a completely sold-out run, with tickets in high demand throughout the week. Every performance was met with an incredible response, including standing ovations from audiences night after night.
Bringing together a fantastic cast, creative team, and dedicated volunteers, the show perfectly captured everything Off The Leash Theatre aims to achieve: ambitious theatre, strong storytelling, community spirit, and plenty of fun.
The overwhelming support from audiences, the wonderful reviews, and the electric atmosphere throughout the run made The Full Monty a truly special production that will be remembered by everyone involved for years to come.
Yes, Prime Minister
The Place Theatre, Bedford – February 2026
Off The Leash Theatre (Then RUFF Theatre), proudly launched with its very first production, the sharp and hilarious political comedy Yes, Prime Minister, performed at The Place Theatre, Bedford in February 2026.
Marking an exciting beginning for the company, the production was a complete sell-out success, delighting audiences with its fast-paced wit, larger-than-life characters, and brilliantly chaotic political manoeuvring. Bringing the much-loved classic from screen to stage, the production showcased Off The Leash Theatre’s passion for high-quality, entertaining theatre with heart, humour, and ambition.
The show brought together a fantastic company of local performers and creatives, creating an unforgettable experience both onstage and behind the scenes. From packed audiences and glowing feedback to plenty of laughter throughout the run, Yes, Prime Minister perfectly captured the energy and spirit of what Off The Leash Theatre aims to create.
As the company’s debut production, it set the tone for what’s to come — bold productions, strong storytelling, collaboration, and a commitment to creating exciting theatre experiences for audiences across the region.
A sold-out first production? We’d call that a very good start indeed.
