Dinner at the Dixons’ - hilarious new comedy coming to Luton!

Eclipse Theatre, a collective of experienced performers from across the Luton theatre community, today announced its newest original production, Dinner at the Dixons', opening at Luton Library Theatre on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September 2026, 7:30pm.

Written and developed by the creative team behind Eclipse Theatre's earlier productions The Legend of Troy and The Golden Days, Dinner at the Dixons' follows the Dixon family as an ordinary evening meal spirals into chaos. The original comedy weaves together romantic rivalries, sibling squabbles, long-buried secrets, and one very unfortunate hamster, for an evening the company promises will be as heartfelt as it is funny.

Eclipse Theatre's members bring years of combined stage experience, having previously performed at Luton Library Theatre alongside established local companies including The Griffin Players and The Phoenix Players. With Dinner at the Dixons', the group steps forward as an independent company for the first time, with a shared aim of giving back to Luton's arts scene through original, accessible comedy.

"We're delighted to be bringing original theatre to the Luton community," said Chris Burrett, Founder and Director of Eclipse Theatre. "This venue and this audience mean a great deal to us, and we can't wait for everyone to join us for this exciting new venture."
