THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN, INSIDE NUMBER 9, THE WIDOWER, HANGMEN

Ken Stott and Reece Shearsmith come together as lead actor ‘Sir’ and Norman ‘the Dresser’ in this eagerly awaited revival of ‘A WONDERFULLY AFFECTIONATE AND INTELLIGENT PLAY ABOUT THE THEATRE’ (THE GUARDIAN). Both hilarious and poignant, The Dresser explores the relationship between two men who are reluctantly and inevitably co-dependent. As World War II rages, backstage in a provincial English theatre an ageing, once famous classical actor is troubled. Sir, the last in a dying breed of great English Shakespearean actors, is unwilling to take to the stage to deliver his renowned portrayal of King Lear. It falls to his faithful Dresser Norman to rouse another great performance from him, to keep both the show and its star from falling apart. Renowned as Ronald Harwood’s greatest play, The Dresser has been nominated for Olivier and Tony Awards as well as an Academy Award for the screenplay of the film. With a multi award-winning creative team of Ken Stott (Rebus, God of Carnage), Reece Shearsmith (The League of Gentlemen, Inside Number 9) and Sean Foley (The Ladykillers, Jeeves and Wooster) this promises to be an unmissable production of a theatrical classic.

Dickens considered his novel, A Tale Of Two Cities the best story he had ever written. Interweaving one family’s intensely personal drama with the terror and chaos of the French Revolution, it is an epic story of love, sacrifice and redemption amidst horrific violence and world changing events. In an era of regime changes and citizen protest around the world, this bold new dramatic adaptation by Mike Poulton (Fortune’s Fool, Old Vic; Wolf Hall) set to rousing original music by Oscar winning composer Rachel Portman (The Cider House Rules, Beloved) seems more relevant than ever.

A comedy by ALAN AYCKBOURN Directed by ROBIN HERFORD Designed by PETER MCKINTOSH Greg only met Ginny a month ago but has already made up his mind that she’s the girl for him. When she tells him that she’s going to visit her parents, he decides this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter’s hand. Discovering a scribbled address, he follows her to Buckinghamshire where he finds Philip and Sheila enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the garden, but the only thing is – they’re not Ginny’s parents! Beautifully crafted, wonderfully funny and charmingly English, Relatively Speaking was Alan Ayckbourn’s first great West End success and turned him into a household name. Robert Powell (Single Spies, Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell, King Charles III) and Liza Goddard (Doctor Who, Bergerac) lead a cast directed by Robin Herford, whose numerous credits include Ayckbourn’s Bedroom Farce and Season’s Greetings, and the phenomenally successful The Woman in Black, now celebrating its 25th year in the West End.

English rose Lucy Honeychurch is touring Italy with her prim spinster cousin Charlotte Bartlett as chaperone. Charlotte is quick to step in when Lucy makes the mistake of fraternising with the lower class Mr Emerson and his son George at their Florentine pensione. However, when she witnesses Lucy and George actually kissing, she has no option but to whisk Lucy away to Rome. Back home at the family’s Surrey estate Lucy becomes engaged to the eminently suitable (but priggish and pretentious) Cecil Vyse. Charlotte has sworn Lucy to secrecy over the kiss with George, but will Lucy be able to repress her feelings when she discovers that the Emersons have taken a house in the village? With its cast of vivid characters, this elegant comedy written in 1908 is widely recognised as one of the finest novels of the twentieth century. The award winning Merchant Ivory film adaptation in 1985 was voted number nine in The Guardian’s list of the best romantic films of all time. Felicity Kendal plays Charlotte Bartlett. One of the UK’s most popular actresses, she shot to fame in The Good Life and has won numerous awards for her stage work. Recent credits include Alan Ayckbourn’s Relatively Speaking and Noel Coward’s Hay Fever, both of which enjoyed successful West End runs. ACT PRODUCTIONS AND THEATRE ROYAL BATH PRODUCTIONS PRESENT

ANGELA GRIFFIN TAMZIN OUTHWAITE

TRACY-ANN OBERMAN NICOLA STEPHENSON

Amanda Holden heads one of the starriest casts ever to have stepped out on to Richmond Theatre’s stage in this wonderfully funny and heart-warming comedy which charts the lives of seven women and one man attempting to tap their troubles away at a weekly dancing class. Initially all thumbs and left feet, the group is just getting to grips with the basics when they are asked to take part in a charity gala... Over the course of several months we meet the group, and all of them have a story to tell. There’s haughty Vera, mouthy Maxine and uptight Andy; bubbly Sylvia and shy Dorothy; eager Lynne and cheerful Rose, and, of course, Geoffrey. At the piano is the dour Mrs Fraser and spurring them all on, the ever-patient Mavis. One of the UK’s best-loved personalities, Amanda Holden plays Vera. Nominated for an Olivier Award for Thoroughly Modern Millie, she also starred in the West End in Shrek the Musical. She has been a judge on the award-winning Britain’s Got Talent throughout all of its ten series. Angela Griffin is well-known as Fiona Middleton in Coronation Street and her television credits also include Waterloo Road. Tracy-Ann Oberman played Chrissie Watts in EastEnders. Her stage credits include Edmond with Kenneth Branagh and Boeing-Boeing. Tamzin Outhwaite played Melanie Healy in EastEnders. Her West End credits include Sweet Charity and How The Other Half Loves. Nicola Stephenson’s many television credits include Brookside, Holby City and Emmerdale. Best known as a three-time Olivier Award winning star of the musical stage (with seven nominations), director Maria Friedman made her directorial debut in 2012 with a hugely acclaimed production of Merrily We Roll Along. Stepping Out was the winner of the Evening Standard Comedy of the Year Award, 1984. It was also made into a musical, which became a film in 1991, starring Liza Minnelli and Julie Walters.

‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.’ As the Bennet sisters haplessly search for love in Jane Austen’s ultimate romantic comedy, it is Mr Darcy who unwittingly finds his match.

MOSCOW CITY BALLET RETURN TO RICHMOND

A BRAND NEW ADAPTATION OF THE BEST-SELLING NOVEL BY RUTH RENDELL

‘ONE OF THE BEST CRIME NOVELISTS’ SUNDAY EXPRESS DIRECTOR

ROY MARSDEN 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.

Romeo and Juliet

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

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.

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. 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. Credited with revitalising the mystery genre, Ruth Rendell was first published in 1964. Widely considered to be one of her greatest works, A Judgement in Stone is loved for its brilliant rendering of character, plot and motive, and is undoubtedly the Queen of Psychological Crime at her thrilling best.

Following the huge sell-out success of The Perfect Murder and Dead Simple, the thrilling work of multi-million selling author Peter James comes to Richmond Theatre with the world premiere production of Not Dead Enough. On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed. At least that’s what he claims. But as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace continues to deal with the mysterious disappearance of his own wife, he starts to dig a little deeper into the chilling murder case and it soon becomes clear that love can be a dangerous thing... Not Dead Enough is directed by Olivier Award winner Ian Talbot and is the third play in Peter James’ box office smash hit and critically acclaimed stage franchise. Peter has been acclaimed as ‘ONE OF THE MOST FIENDISHLY CLEVER CRIME FICTION PLOTTERS’ (Daily Mail) and his brilliant novels have sold over 17 million copies worldwide. He is the 2016 recipient of crime writing’s highest honour, the Diamond Dagger.

Make your visit to the theatre even more special by treating yourself to a celebratory glass of bubbly.
