Awaiting copy. arrives. Breaking every taboo, Ren brings dance back to the heart of a town held back by the memory of a tragedy.
Award-winning actor Steven Pinder (Brookside, Doctors) takes to the stage as Reverend Shaw Moore. He is joined by star of the future Max Milner, who plays Ren, a role that launched the careers of Kevin Bacon following the iconic 1984 film and Derek Hough, who shot to fame in the musical production in 2006 and has since been crowned champion three times on hit US show Dancing with the Stars. Based on the hit 80s movie (which also launched the careers of Sarah Jessica Parker and John Lithgow), Footloose has become a stage musical phenomenon. From Broadway to the West End and touring across the UK, it is packed full of electrifying dance routines, guaranteed to get you to your feet. Dancing is not a crime; to miss Footloose would be!

‘Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey are back in truly vintage form. As politically sharp and blissfully funny as ever’ the Daily Telegraph This breathtaking theatrical Kung Fu show vividly depicts the rarely-seen Kung Fu masters’ feats of agility, strength and skill, using Buddhist meditation and rigorous martial arts training.
The original writers of the classic BBC TV series, Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn have reunited for this anniversary production and now the Prime Minister Jim Hacker, his Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby and his Private Secretary Bernard Woolley are back in this hilarious new play. In a world of spin, Blackberrys and ‘sexed up’ dossiers, the PM is staring disaster in the face. The country is on the brink of financial meltdown and the Government’s only apparent salvation comes from a morally dubious deal with the Foreign Minister of Kumranistan. Will Jim Hacker and his team of advisors be able to rescue the country from the edge? Yes, Prime Minister is a Chichester Festival Theatre Production. 6

MARK WYNTER
‘KEEPS THE SUSPENSE BUZZING TO THE LAST’ GAZETTE AND HERALD
Following huge success, the Agatha Christie Theatre Company, now in its sixth outstanding year, is proud to present Verdict, the most riveting and compelling drama by the undisputed ‘Queen of Crime.’ A superb cast includes Emmerdale’s Susan Penhaligon, Robert Duncan (Gus Hedges in the multi award-winning comedy Drop the Dead Donkey), Peter Byrne (Dixon of Dock Green), Elizabeth Power (EastEnders) and 60s pop idol Mark Wynter. The brilliant Professor Hendryk leads a content and morally upstanding life, but his world is turned upside-down when the prospect of life-saving treatment for his invalid wife persuades him to take on a new pupil against his better judgement; the spoilt, conniving minx Helen who will stop at nothing to get her way. With murderous intentions afoot, it only remains to be seen what verdict will be delivered, and if justice will prevail.

WATERSIDE INSIGHTS with Northern Ballet’s Artistic Director David Nixon. See p29. Following their phenomenal opening performances that launched the Waterside Theatre last year, Northern Ballet are back with the most popular of all ballets, The Nutcracker. Christmas Eve in the twinkling drawing room of the Edwards’ family home. Amidst the commotion, the fire crackles and the pile of presents grows ever taller. Uncle Drosselmeyer’s curious box of performing toys captivates the children and adults alike, but it is the wooden Nutcracker doll that enchants young Clara most. Share in Clara’s adventures as she is swept away by her Nutcracker prince into a magical winter wonderland of dancing snowflakes and the famous Sugar Plum Fairy. Bringing to life everyone’s favourite Christmas story performed to Tchaikovsky’s enduring score, played live by the Northern Ballet Sinfonia, The Nutcracker awakens childlike imagination in us all. 22 x
Running time 1 hour 55 mins. Main image photo Jason Tozer, production images by Bill Cooper.

Written by Willy Russell, the legendary Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with tragic consequences. The superb score includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True. Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi-awardwinning Blood Brothers, and this production, having recently celebrated its 21st phenomenal year in London, continues to enjoy standing ovations at every devastating performance. No wonder Blood Brothers is now
