‘A VISUAL DELIGHT AS THE CORPS DE BALLET FILL THE STAGE WITH WONDERFUL SEQUENCES AND LAVISH COSTUMES’ BATH CHRONICLE ON SWAN LAKE For the ultimate dance experience, Moscow City Ballet is currently at its artistic best, with outstanding principals, stunning soloists and a sublime corps de ballet, all enhanced by the dynamic vitality of a live orchestra.

Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet is the perfect marriage of a powerful dramatic musical score with a passionate love story – every dancer’s dream.

The choreography, interpretation and outstandingly athletic virtuoso performances beautifully complement the world’s most famous tragic love story and iconic musical score. For many, the stirring sounds of Dance of the Knights, commonly known as Montagues and Capulets, will be recognizable as the theme tune to BBC TV’s The Apprentice.

Swan Lake is a signature piece of the company’s entire repertoire, the tragic tale of Siegfried and his love for Odette, the Queen of the Swans.

Moscow City Ballet’s interpretation of the world’s most romantic ballet is magnificently brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s haunting and instantly recognisable score. |6|

FOLLOWING TEN YEARS OF THE AGATHA CHRISTIE THEATRE COMPANY, A NEW THRILLER FROM ‘THE BEST WOMAN CRIME WRITER SINCE CHRISTIE’ THE SUNDAY TIMES

Building on the phenomenal decade-long success of The Agatha Christie Theatre Company, which sold over two million tickets and continually played to packed houses around the UK, Bill Kenwright presents a new production adapted from one of the most celebrated works of the writer often hailed as the successor to Agatha Christie.

Eunice struggles to fit in. When she joins a wealthy family as their housekeeper the very reason for her awkwardness, long hidden and deeply buried, leads inexorably to a terrible tale of murder in cold blood – on Valentine’s Day. Ruth Rendell’s brilliant plot unravels a lifetime of deceit, despair and cover-ups which, when revealed, brings a shocking revelation almost as grizzly as murder itself.

Led by Director Roy Marsden, best known for playing PD James’ detective Adam Dalgliesh, the cast includes film, TV and Stage favourite Sophie Ward, who played the ill-fated love interest of Young Sherlock Holmes and Dr Helen Trent in ITV drama Heartbeat, pop-idol Mark Wynter who since his hit parade days has featured in seven Agatha Christie Company productions, Deborah Grant (Not Going Out, Bergerac), movie icon Shirley Anne Field who became an overnight star in The Entertainer and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Antony Costa who shot to fame in chart topping boy band Blue, and Agatha Christie Company stalwart Ben Nealon whose TV credits include ITV’s award winning Soldier Soldier.

Actor, writer, presenter, comedian and two-time Olivier Award winner Griff Rhys Jones returns to the stage in a hilarious new adaptation of Moliere's classic comedy, The Miser. Griff has most recently been seen on stage as Fagin in Cameron Mackintosh's Oliver!, and previously in Feydeau's An Absolute Turkey.

Fanatical about protecting his wealth, the paranoid Harpagon (Griff Rhys Jones) suspects all of trying to filch his fortune and will go to any length to protect it.

A matchmaker motivated only by money, he sets his sights on wealthy spouses for his children, so his riches are safe from their grubby hands.

As true feelings and identities are revealed will Harpagon allow his children to follow their heart, or will his love of gold prove all-consuming? Passion and purse strings go head to head in this rip-roaring comedy, by France's greatest dramatist.

This major revival is directed by Sean Foley (The Dresser, The Ladykillers, Jeeves and Wooster) with further star casting to be announced. Book now to be among the very first to see this major revival before it hits the West End.

From the Olivier award-winning Producer of West End hits Top Hat, The Play That Goes Wrong and Hetty Feather.

A young woman and a strong man drive through the Italian countryside performing a double-act for their keep. When the mismatched pair come across a travelling circus whose principal attraction is a daredevil tight-rope walker, the young woman finds herself caught between the two men.

Frederico Fellini’s Oscar-winning La Strada is one of the all-time masterpieces of world cinema. This musical adaptation is directed by Olivier Award nominee Sally Cookson (Jane Eyre & Peter Pan National Theatre, Hetty Feather West End) and boasts a beautiful new score by Benji Bower with songs performed by an international cast of actor musicians. Moving between the dazzling lights of the circus and the bare landscapes of rural Italy, this production of La Strada promises to be a theatrical feast for all the senses.

‘A SUPERBLY GRIPPING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER’ DAILY TELEGRAPH One of the greatest thrillers of all time hits the UK stage starring the highly acclaimed stage and television actress Kara Tointon.

While Jack Manningham (Rupert Young) is on the town each evening, his wife Bella (Kara Tointon) is home alone.

She can’t explain the disappearance of familiar objects, the mysterious footsteps overhead or the ghostly flickering of the living room gaslight – is she losing her mind? Does the terror exist in her imagination or are dark secrets living in her home? The surprise arrival of a retired detective (Keith Allen) leads to a shocking discovery that will shake her respectable Victorian marriage to its core.

In the tradition of heavyweight thrillers from Hitchcock, Christie and Priestley, Gaslight is a genre-defining, sensationally suspenseful, all-round elegant masterpiece.

This new production of Gaslight is the definitive seatgripping drama not to be missed. A tense and hugely satisfying evening of great British theatre.

MON – SAT 7.30PM (WED & SAT MATS 2.30PM)

‘A GREAT PLAY’ DAILY MAIL

It’s forty years since the appalling Beverly first put Donna Summer on the turntable, stacked a plate with little cheesey-pineapple ones, plied her guests with alcohol, cigarettes and Demis Roussos and slow-danced her way across the shag-pile into theatrical history.

The drinks party from hell begins when Beverly and estate agent husband Laurence invite round new neighbours, Tony and Ange, along with nervous divorcee Sue, jittery about the bash her teenage daughter, Abigail, is throwing up the road. As that party reportedly gets out of hand, this one too descends into chaos, and comedy, drama and tragedy combine into an iconic piece of theatre. Hilarious and horribly compelling, Mike Leigh’s Abigail’s Party is an undisputed classic.

Amanda Abbington is best-known for playing Mary Morstan in Sherlock, Miss Mardle in Mr Selfridge and DS Jo Moffat in Cuffs.

City boy Ren thinks life is bad enough when he’s forced to move to a rural backwater in America.

Taking matters into his own hands, soon Ren has all hell breaking loose and the whole town on its feet.

Based on the 1980s screen sensation which took the world by storm, Footloose sizzles with spirit, fun and the best in UK musical talent. With cutting edge modern choreography, you’ll enjoy classic 80s hits including Holding Out for a Hero, Almost Paradise, Let’s Hear It For The Boy and of course the unforgettable title track Footloose, like never before.
