For sixty years Helena has been the Queen of Maurice’s heart,
but a distant memory of Her Majesty The Queen also sparkles
brightly in this retired jeweller’s mind. Entrusted a lifetime ago
with the Crown Jewels and a royal pledge, Maurice insists that
his ninetieth birthday will be one worth waiting for. The
critically acclaimed smash hit of Edinburgh 2012, Maurice’s
Jubilee is the hilariously funny and moving tale of an ordinary
man’s enduring commitment to a dream, and of a love triangle
with a regal twist. Starring double Olivier Award winner Julian
Glover, Gay Soper (Sunday In The Park With George) and
Olivier Award winner Nichola McAuliffe (Surgical Spirit,
Coronation Street) in her unmissable self-penned new comedy.

daughter, Abigail, is throwing over the road. As Beverly plies
the guests with alcohol, cigarettes, Demis Roussos and

Do you remember those wonderful swinging sixties in London?
A time when Britain was at the centre of the world music scene.
A time of social change, of hope and freedom. A time when

30 classic hits from the time, Carnaby Street tells the unique
British story of every boy or girl’s dream – to become a rock
star! Set against the backdrop of London’s West End in the
sixties, its iconic clubs, fashion and characters, Carnaby Street
is the real musical story of a generation.

It's April 2013. Funny man Jack Lemmon and the
incomparable Marilyn Monroe are reunited with Hollywood
heart-throb Tony Curtis. But where exactly are they and what
the hell is going on? This fast moving, fantasy comedy whisks
the three screen icons back to their most beautiful, sexy and
hilarious selves in a once-in-an-(after)-lifetime’s opportunity
to rub shoulders with the stars.
Daring dialogue, razor-sharp wisecracks and sparkling musical
numbers make a snappy musical comedy that looks wryly at
the power of celebrities over the public – both in life and
death…now that’s entertainment!

The story of two lovers carefully intertwines the most ravishing
of Handel’s arias from his many operas, romping from drama
to comedy, from tragedy to laughter. In a concept created by
William Towers, an internationally renowned countertenor, who
is a regular at The Royal Opera House and Glyndebourne, a
small orchestra, soloists and chorus will bring to life the
intricate charms of Handel’s music.

Unceremoniously uprooted from her humble family home,
intelligent young Fanny Price is dropped into the bustling,
aristocratic household of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, where
she finds herself buffeted from one crisis to the next. Yet
throughout this turmoil one thing remains a constant – her
love for the generous, worthy and steadfast Edmund Bertram.
But will this love be her salvation? Or will she be forced to
marry the charismatic Henry Crawford for connections and
wealth alone?
A must-see for lovers of Jane Austen and classic drama, from
the country’s last remaining Regency Theatre.

Television journalist James Highwood has made his career out
of challenging the British Justice system in his documentary
programmes. Now, suddenly, he finds the system challenging
him as he is brought to court on a charge of murder. Highwood
admits the killing but perversely chooses to defend himself,
pushing the tolerance of the court to its limits.
Tom Conti is brilliantly suited to the part of James Highwood
in this gripping courtroom drama. With more than its share of
surprising twists and turns, it will keep you guessing until the
very end - not to be missed!
