The Mousetrap is famous around the world for being the longest running show of any kind in the history of theatre, with over 26,000 performances in London. This record-breaking 60th anniversary production is back by popular demand following a hugely successful week in 2014.

The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst.

Who can it be? One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed. In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.

HHHH THE HERALD

HHHH THE SCOTSMAN Photos of original cast

Despite protests of his innocence, Andy Dufresne is handed a double life sentence for the brutal murder of his wife and her lover. Incarcerated at the notorious Shawshank facility, he quickly learns that no one can survive alone. Andy strikes up an unlikely friendship with the prison fixer Red, and things take a slight turn for the better. However, when Warden Stammas decides to bully Andy into subservience, a desperate plan is quietly hatched.

Based on the 1982 novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, this thrilling stage production examines desperation, injustice, friendship and hope behind the claustrophobic bars of a maximum security facility. The 1994 feature film starred Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman and was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Paul Nicholls’ impressive TV career has barely seen him off our screens for 20 years: From Joe Wicks in EastEnders to D.S. Sam Casey in ITV’s Law and Order and more recently starring opposite Sheridan Smith in the acclaimed The C Word. Ben Onwukwe boasts a 30 year stage career including leading roles with The RSC and the Royal Court, and 11 years on TV as Recall McKenzie in London’s Burning.

Jack Ellis is maybe ‘best hated’ for his potrayal of the villainous prison warden Jim Fenner in ITV’s Bad Girls, and as D.I. Tony Muddyman in Prime Suspect. | 20 |

‘THE MUSICAL WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR. A SWEET-SOUL, SOLID-GOLD, FIVE STAR BLAST. SO GOOD I ALMOST WEPT’ THE SUNDAY TIMES

The Commitments is a fantastically feel good celebration of soul. Direct from a phenomenally successful, record breaking run in London’s West End, The Commitments is based on the BAFTA award-winning film classic. The show received universal critical acclaim following its London World Premiere and was quickly hailed as a smash hit musical sensation.

The Commitments is the story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young working class music fan, who shapes an unlikely bunch of amateur musicians and friends into an amazing live act, the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced. Placing a classified advert in a music paper, Jimmy auditions a number of wannabes before finalising the new line up who he names The Commitments.

The Commitments musical has been adapted from the novel by Booker prize winning author Roddy Doyle himself.

‘STRONGHOLD IS A CRACKER’ OBSERVER Richard Alston Dance Company returns with a programme bearing the Alston hallmarks of musicality and grace.

Martin Lawrance (Scottish Ballet, Dance GB) has made Stronghold, dramatic and intense to a richly resonant score by Julia Wolfe.

Alston’s Mazur, to Chopin Mazurkas played live, is a dance for two friends longing for their homeland and Brisk Singing is carried along by the lightness of spirit in the baroque music of Rameau.

‘THE MOST BRILLIANTLY EFFECTIVE SPINE-CHILLER YOU WILL EVER ENCOUNTER’ DAILY TELEGRAPH Susan Hill’s acclaimed ghost story comes dramatically alive in Stephen Mallatratt’s ingenious stage adaptation. This gripping production, directed

by Robin Herford, is a brilliantly successful study in atmosphere, illusion and controlled horror.

A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black, engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough, but then, as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds.

Now celebrating its 27th year in the West End, over 7 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most chilling and successful theatre events ever staged.

‘A GREAT ROCKIN’ EVENING’ DAILY EXPRESS

Inspired by the smash hit multi-million selling albums Dreamboats and Petticoats One, Two, Three, Four and Five, the West End sell out sensation Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical features some of the greatest hit songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll era.

The dazzling success of the first five albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sent the message loud and clear. With over 2 million copies sold and several weeks at the Number One spot in the compilation charts, the Great British public were saying that they didn’t just want to listen to pure nostalgia: they’d love to see it as well.

In 1961 emotions run high as young musicians Norman and Bobby compete to win a national song writing competition – and, more importantly, the attention of the gorgeous Sue! But when Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano, love and rock ‘n’ roll fame beckons. Dreamboats and Petticoats - the songs will live forever!

‘AN INSPIRATIONAL MUSICAL’ NEW YORK TIMES

‘A NEW MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA’ THEATER MANIA

‘ONE INSANELY CATCHY SONG AFTER ANOTHER’ TAMPA BAY TIMES

Music by Frank Wildhorn Lyrics by Jack Murphy Book by Gregory Boyd & Jack Murphy UK Adaptation by Ava Eldred

UK AND EUROPEAN PREMIÈRE TV and West End star Wendi Peters, much loved for her acclaimed portrayal of Cilla Battersby-Brown in Coronation Street, will headline the UK tour of Wonderland as Queen of Hearts alongside musical theatre favourite Dave Willetts, who rose to fame for playing the title role in Phantom of the Opera, as White Rabbit.

Following sold out seasons in Tampa, Texas and Tokyo, the multi Grammy and Drama Desk Award nominated Frank Wildhorn’s Wonderland receives its UK and European première in this brand new British production.

Hailed by the New York Times as ‘INSPIRATIONAL’, Wonderland is an enchanting musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, with a huge heart, a medley of magic and a whole lot of wonder.
