The Orange Tree Theatre's artistic director Paul Miller has announced his second season, which includes a number of rediscoveries and new works.

Among the productions making their way to Richmond's theatre-in-the-round are Sharman Macdonald's When We Were Women and French Without Tears by Terence Rattigan.

And Mr Miller, who took over as artistic director last year, hoped the theatre could remain at the top of its game, even without Government funding.

Mr Miller said: "I'm delighted to announce an autumn programme which is a classic Orange Tree mix of contemporary work and rare revivals.

"And two of last year's smash hits return, the Distance and Pomona.

"We are no longer regularly funded by the Arts Council but our spirit of adventure remains strong.

"More new work is in the pipeline for early in 2016 and we're really proud to be collaborating with Snapdragon, Sheffield Theatres, Wizard, the NT and the Royal Exchange to deliver this autumn's five exciting productions."
