This top tribute show is more than just a tribute - they are the completepackage! With their perfect combination of brilliant musicianship and tongue in cheek humour, they have had rave reviews throughout the UK.

Playing the country-rock songs of the 1980s supergroup ‘The Traveling Wilburys’, the band also steal some choice numbers from the back catalogue of each of its five iconic members; Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne.

Born out of the ashes of the popular B eatles tribute band Sgt Pepper’sOnly Dart Board Band, the fabulous UNRAVELLING WILBURYS are madeup of Sticky Willy, Walter, T humper, Blind Melon and Honky TonkWilbury, the “real” Wilbury brothers, who present their own unique slant on what it means to be a trib ute band. The show tells the story of the fateful night in Nashville’s Tootsies Bar in 1987, when their songs were(allegedly) stolen by Messrs Orbison & Co. and the hard road they had to tread to get ‘em back.

Songs such as ‘End of the Line’, ‘Handle with Care’, ‘The Devil’s Been

Busy’, and ‘Tweeter and The Monkey Man’ form the basis of the set,

which also features additional choice cuts including ‘Pretty Woman’

(Orbison), ‘Mr Blue Sky’ (Lynne), ‘American Girl’ (Petty), ‘While My GuitarGently Weeps’ (Harrison), and ‘A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall’ (Dylan).

With music for everyone to enjoy, this is an evening not to be missed. A  fabulous night out for lovers of great music.

(From Facebook)

“Captured the style and sounds perfectly and with their own added

sense of humour gave the audience an evening to remember”.

“Thank you all for a sensational performance last night, it was

musicianship of extraordinary talent from you all.”

The Witch and the Egg

One performer and a flock of shadow puppets tell a joyful and heartwarming story about friends, foolishness and flying away.

Witch does what witches do best… fly around scaring people and eating biscuits. She’s a miserable, bad tempered old witch who doesn’t like company. The last thing she wants in her life is an EGG!

Should she have it for breakfast or hatch it? And what will she do once it hatches? Her neighbours have plenty of advice for her but Witch decides to ignore them and go it alone. This show is an adaptation of the book 'The Witch's Egg' by Madeleine Edmondson.

Humour, audience engagement and shadow puppetry tell the story of a lonely old witch who finds an egg which takes her on an adventure that changes her life forever.

A simple set up and beautiful visuals means this show works anywhere (with a reasonable blackout) and will delight and entertain everyone from 3-103.

A specially commissioned sound track adds subtlety and emotion to the performance creating a fully rounded audio-visual experience.

After the performance the audience are invited to stay and play with the shadow puppets. In a simple open ended session, children and their families can discover the fun in playing with shadows and re-telling the story in their own words

THE CARPENTERS EXPERIENCE

When we were young, we’d listen to the radio, waiting for our favourite songs. Now they’re back again, like a long-lost friend, all the song we loved so well. . .

The UK's leading Carpenters show, featuring the amazing voice of Maggie Nestor and eight top-class musicians, captures the sights and sounds of the amazing talents of Richard and Karen Carpenter.  

Karen’s silky contralto is combined with Richard’s delightful piano and seamless harmonies in this big production that brings "Close to You", "We've only Just Begun", "Top of the World", "Rainy Days" and "Mondays", "Solitaire", "Goodbye to Love", "Please Mr Postman", "For All We Know", "Only Yesterday" and dozens more classic songs to the stage.

Simon Evans: Have We Met?

After finally solving the mystery of his existence and

true identity in Work of the Devil, Simon finds that he

has still not overcome the more daily challenges of

remembering what he came upstairs for, who these

grown-ups are that live with him (and what they have

done with his children?) and how can that footage be

from 2009, when he only bought those shoes a few

months ago?

“In Greek mythology, the Muses were the daughters of

Mnemosyne, goddess of memory - though ironically,

there is no easy way to remember her name. But

Memory was thus clearly regarded by the ancient

Greeks as the mother of the arts, wellspring of

inspiration, the compost in which imagination takes

rooty. Our last defence against tyranny, the consolation

of the just and the seat of the soul. Without memory, the

illusion of self crumbles. Mine, however, is shot. So

where does that leave me?

Live on stage and in person, renowned stars of stage & screen COLIN BAKER (Doctor Who, The Brothers) & TERRY MOLLOY (Mike Tucker in The Archers for 40 years) are joining forces this spring to play the world’s most famous detectives, SHERLOCK HOLMES & DOCTOR WATSON. Alongside DEE SADLER (All Creatures Great & Small, No Place Like Home), they star in a brand new stage adaptation of THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES - originally on tour to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most popular thriller and now extended by popular demand!

“The legend of the Hound Of The Baskervilles has haunted the Baskerville family for generations - none more so than Sir Charles Baskerville, who died in mysterious circumstances worthy of the legend. This leads Doctor Mortimer to consult Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson, in the hope of preventing the heir to the Baskerville estate, Sir Henry, from suffering the same fate. But the supernatural seems a very long way from 221B Baker Street…

However, once Holmes & Watson journey to isolated Baskerville Hall, the line between reality and the legend becomes blurred. Death, doom and myth surround them – what is the secret of the butler in the night, whose is the mysterious lantern that shines in the darkness, and what hellish apparition stalks Dartmoor with murderous intent?”

Presented by Crime And Comedy Theatre Company as a radio-play-live-on-stage - our setting is a radio studio, our actors ready as if for a radio broadcast, and our sound effects created live on stage, all combining to transport the audience from Baker Street to Dartmoor, as we bring to life this tale of murder, mystery and horror that’s surely the greatest detective story ever told! A rare chance to see these popular actors live at your local theatre, this is a play not to be missed.

MADAMA BUTTERFLY

When the young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, marries American Naval Officer Pinkerton, she believes she is entering a real, binding marriage for life. Forsaking her religion and community, she learns all too late that for Pinkerton, their marriage is merely an illusion – with tragic consequences.

With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, 'Un bel dì, vedremo' (‘One fine day’) and the Humming Chorus, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heart-breaking. Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production takes inspiration from 19th-century European images of Japan.

About Oye Santana

Based around the exciting dance rhythms of Santana’s Latin music, OYE SANTANA is no ordinary tribute to Carlos Santana’s music. More a party than a concert, this is a feast of Latin music, superb musicianship and hit songs, faithfully re-creating the music of Santana.  They bring a powerful and melodic drive to Santana’s Latin rock style, which they play with power, passion and perfection ensuring a fantastic high energy, engaging and fun event. Oye Santana play all the hits including the Grammy award-winning Smooth plus Maria Maria, She’s Not There, Black Magic Woman, Samba Pa Ti, Oye Como Va, Jingo and Corazon Espinado.

The six-piece band line up consists of a superb “Carlos Santana” who looks and sounds identical to the great man himself. Top-notch Spanish and English speaking vocalists compliment them. The music of Carlos Santana is a mixture of Samba, Smooth Latin ballads, Bossa Novas and Latin style rock and Oye Santana's blend of electric and Spanish guitar songs blend perfectly with the authentic percussion section and virtuoso keyboards.

The exuberance of the performance itself is what wins the hearts (and the dancing feet) of audiences from Salsa evenings to sold-out theatres; from intimate parties to thronging festivals; from the UK to events all over Europe.

Above all, it’s the audience reaction that tells you that Oye Santana is special. Close your eyes and you can’t tell the difference, said one promoter; the best tribute band I’ve seen said another. But from their very first gig 8 years ago, people have been commenting on the sheer fun Oye Santana bring to every stage they play on. [266 words]

The Royal Ballet Encore - MACMILLAN CELEBRATED

Choreography Kenneth Macmillan

Danses Concertantes, commissioned by Ninette de Valois in 1955, was MacMillan’s first major work. An early sign of the incredible artistic output that would follow, the work’s critical success spurred MacMillan to abandon performing in favour of choreography. It is followed by Different Drummer, MacMillan’s complex and haunting balletic interpretation of Woyzeck, Georg Büchner's play about a soldier’s descent into madness. The mixed programme concludes with Requiem, his 1976 work for Stuttgart Ballet, created in memory of its late artistic director, MacMillan’s friend and former Royal Ballet dancer and choreographer John Cranko.

SWAN LAKE

Out hunting, Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans. One among them transforms into the beautiful human Odette and he is immediately enamoured. But Odette is bound by a spell which keeps her captive as a swan during the day. Can Siegfried free her?

Tchaikovsky’s sensational score combines with the evocative imagination of choreographer Liam Scarlett and designer John Macfarlane to heighten the dramatic pathos of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov’s quintessential ballet classic. Swan Lake remains to this day one of the best-loved works in the classical ballet canon.

Austen's Women: LADY SUSAN

Dyad Productions

From the award-winning creators of Austen's Women, A Christmas Carol, I, Elizabeth, Female Gothic, Christmas Gothic, and A Room of One's Own.

Austen's Women are back - in a brand-new show! Devil-may-care Lady Susan, the coquettish black widow, hunting down not one, but two, fortunes; oppressed, rebellious daughter Frederica; longsuffering sister-in-law Catherine; family matriarch Mrs De Courcy; and insouciant best friend, Alicia.

Return to the Regency period (or rather, Georgian) in this darkly comic tale of society and the women trapped within it; their struggles, their desires, their temptations and manipulations - and at the vanguard, Lady Susan: charming, scheming, witty, and powerful; taking on society and making it her own. But has she met her match?

Based on Jane Austen's first full-length work from 1974, and created entirely from letters, the piece is performed by Rebecca Vaughan and directed by Andrew Margerison.

Created in collaboration with The Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead.

"If you haven't seen Dyad Productions' work before, you simply must" (British Theatre Guide)

"Some of the most electrifying character work available, up to and including Berkoff" (Fringe Review)

"Vaughan is simply sublime" (Huffington Post)

"Towering... luscious… assured... rich" (The Scotsman)
