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 fateful consequences. Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi award-winning Blood Brothers. Bill Kenwright’s production surpassed 10,000 performances in London’s West End, one of only three musicals ever to achieve that milestone. It has been affectionately christened the ‘Standing Ovation Musical’, as inevitably it ‘BRINGS THE AUDIENCE CHEERING TO ITS FEET AND ROARING ITS APPROVAL’ (DAILY MAIL). The superb score includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True.

DIRECTOR
ROY MARSDEN Following 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 from the pen of the legendary award-winning writing team Levinson and Link, whose work includes the mystery series Murder, She Wrote and Columbo. The star cast includes leading stage and TV actor Robert Daws, best known for The Royal and Outside Edge, and his wife and co-star from The Royal, Amy Robbins, who also starred in Blood Brothers in the West End; and from the record breaking Agatha Christie Theatre Company, Robert Duncan, best known for Drop the Dead Donkey, Susan Penhaligon who starred in the gripping drama Bouquet of Barbed Wire, Steven Pinder from Brookside, Lucy Dixon from Waterloo Road and Ben Nealon from ITV’s award winning Soldier Soldier. Playwright Alex Dennison is left heartbroken when his fiancée and leading lady Monica Welles is found dead from an apparent suicide. On the anniversary of that ill-fated night, Alex assembles the same cast and crew in the same theatre, for a reading of his new play. But as the reading begins, it becomes clear that Alex believes that Monica was murdered and he intends to uncover her killer.

BASED ON THE NOVEL JACK’S RETURN HOME BY TED LEWIS ADAPTED BY TORBEN BETTS
A dark and stylish new adaptation of the classic Newcastle-noir thriller. Jack Carter is back home for the first time in years. He’s back to bury a brother who hated him, in a town he swore he was never going to see again. He’s back to find out who killed his brother, to pay debts and settle scores. As the local underworld closes ranks and Jack’s bosses back in London find out that Jack has had his fingers in the till, and other places they shouldn’t have been, Jack plays a deadly game of cat and mouse as everyone tries to Get Carter, unless he gets you first. Inspired by the classic noir of Raymond Chandler, by the freedom of Jazz and the coming of the 1960’s, Ted Lewis’ novel is a classic of British crime fiction. Set in a hard and uncompromising world of 1960’s Newcastle rife with crime, sex, gambling and violence this adaptation tells the story made famous in Mike Hodge’s seminal film starring Michael Caine in the lead role.

Self-made man, shopkeeper, skinflint and boozer, he’s a tyrant to his daughters and a law unto himself. When Maggie, his eldest daughter, defies Hobson’s wishes by marrying Will Mossop, his own boot-maker, a battle of wills begins in which he stands to lose his customers, his girls and his pride, but ultimately it is Hobson’s choice. 2016 will mark the 100th anniversary of the first UK production of Harold Brighouse’s classic comedy, which is rich with laughter, wit and warmth. Martin Shaw is one of the UK’s favourite actors, well-known for starring in Inspector George Gently, Judge John Deed, and The Professionals on television. He was Tony Award-nominated for An Ideal Husband on Broadway and won a Drama Desk award.

Now eighty years old, Andre was once a tap dancer. He lives with his daughter Anne and her husband Antoine. Or was he an engineer whose daughter Anne lives in London with her new lover, Pierre? The thing is, he is still wearing his pyjamas and he can’t find his watch. He is starting to wonder if he’s losing control. The Father is the winner of France’s highest theatrical honour, the 2014 Moliere Award for Best Play, and Christopher Hampton’s crisp and witty translation has dazzled audiences and critics alike. It has received an unprecedented ten five star reviews from major national newspaper critics. Tony Award nominee Kenneth Cranham reprises his indelible performance for this tour, direct from the West End.
