Musical TMD SQUARED in conjunction with TJD & D Productions presents
by OLA ROTIMI
Thursday 17th - Saturday 19th September
7.30pm evenings & 3.00pm Friday matinee
The Gods Are Not To Blame is a classic post-colonial interpretation of Sophocles Oedipus Rex within the context of African culture written by the late Ola Rotimi. The destiny of the main character, Odewale, was predicted at birth to kill his father and marry his mother. His father, the King of Kutuje village ordered his messenger, Gbonka, to kill him, but he handed over the child to a childless farmer. Odewale grew up and was informed of his tragic destiny by an oracle. Believing he was living with his real parents, he hastens to prevent this and flees the village. In a conflict on the road he kills his father, the King, and then marries the widowed queen. Although a brave man with the strength of a lion, Odewale allowed his weakness to lead to his downfall. Set in the very heart of Africa, this play is presented as a musical, first of its kind and sure to keep you entertained ‘til the end.

Thursday 12th - Saturday 14th November 7.30pm evenings & 3.00pm Saturday matinee
Jack Productions is proud to present the KMT stage premiere of this well-loved TV show. Life in the sleepy Oxfordshire village of Dibley is turned upside-down when the ancient Reverend Pottle dies and the diocese sends a new-fangled female vicar, Geraldine Granger, as his replacement. Her arrival is met with a mixture of wonder and horror from the assorted collection of rural yokels who call Dibley home. Autocratic head of the Parish Council, David Horton, is particularly appalled, and when it becomes clear that Geraldine does not intend to play second fiddle, he resolves to have her removed. In the run-up to Verger Alice’s spectacularly silly wedding, even David must admit that Geraldine is the best thing to have ever happened to Dibley. Relive the arrival of the new Vicar, be part of the congregation for Alice’s hilarious wedding and meet again the many insane inhabitants of the quiet village of Dibley.

All aboard for this saucy and splendid production of Anything Goes, presented by IODS Productions. One of the greatest musicals in Theatre history, Cole Porter’s firstclass musical comedy is sailing into the KMT! When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention get tossed out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love… proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this timeless classic are some of musical theatre’s most memorable standards, including ‘I Get A Kick Out Of You’, ‘You’re the Top’, and of course, ‘Anything Goes’.

In 1941, Rudolf Höss, Commandant of the Nazi concentration camp known as Auschwitz, assembled his SS personnel in a secret meeting with the express purpose of introducing a new method for exterminating Europe’s Jews: Zyklon B, a deadly poison gas. Every soldier in attendance was sworn to secrecy, and no one questioned its usage. Based upon actual events, A Lesson from Auschwitz reveals how and why the Nazis did what they did. Recommended For: Ages 14+
During his final lecture on the duality of man, the respectable Dr Jekyll reveals his strange association with the mysterious Edward Hyde and the shocking truth about his identity: that Hyde, unlike other human beings, is not only fundamentally evil, but also the very definition of it. Combining edge-of-your-seat thrills with stunning physical theatre, Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic “bogey tale” is brought chillingly to life in this award-winning one-man show. Recommended For: Ages 12+
A Lesson From Jekyll Auschwitz & Hyde 7.30pm
In commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Devised and Performed by Eric Colvin and James Hyland. Written, Produced and Directed by James Hyland. Proceeds will be donated to charity.

Do you ever suffer food envy in a restaurant? Do you look longingly at your dining partner’s plate and wish you had ordered their meal? That is what being in musical theatre is like. No matter how big the part, how great the lyrics, how wonderful the music - there is always another character that has a better song. Lee Thompson has been tormenting theatregoers on stage for years and has been lucky enough to play some amazing characters in some amazing shows BUT he is not satisfied! Tonight he gets to sing the songs that should have always been rightly his - The Songs That Got Away!
