Some could (sceptically) say that I didn’t actually know this and it was all a bit of a fluke and to these good people I’d like to say... you’re right! The gods of programming have truly shone down on Winchester and we’ll be welcoming a vast array of sparkling talent, including the BBC’s King of the Ballroom (page 4), this spring. Kicking off the musical shining lights for 2009 is jazz sensation Clare Teal (page 4) followed closely by singer/ songwriter Newton Faulkner (page 5), the big sounds of The Bollywood Brass Band (page 7) and the voice of Clannad, Moya Brennan (page 14). Hands up all those who sported a ‘Lady Di’, carried a mobile phone the size of a house brick, fancied Magnum PI, remember shoulder pads you could land aircraft on and listened to Radio 1 at lunchtime to see if they’d play ‘Relax’ when it reached number 1. Ah the ‘80’s, fondly remembered as the decade when capitalism was brought to the masses and our chosen era for TRW’s next stunning, production Speed The Plow by David Mamet (page 10).
for those of you looking for a little more in the way of springtime joviality, we’ll be speed-dating on stage too (page 12) and if all goes well we can always arrange a summer wedding, honestly, we really can!

John Sergeant, former political editor of ITN and previously 30 years with the BBC, has had a wide-ranging career. As a reporter he covered conflicts in many parts of the world, including Vietnam, the Middle East and Southern Africa, before settling down as a political correspondent. He often travelled with the prime minister of the day, including Margaret Thatcher and John Major, as well as Tony Blair. He has presented all the main news programmes on Radio 4, including the Today programme and The World at One. In recent years he has been allowed to return to his first love in broadcasting, light

the relationship comes back to haunt him as he finds himself falling for Elaine, Mrs. Robinson’s daughter!
“Mrs Robinson, you are trying to seduce me, aren’t you?”
The Graduate features the music of SIMON & GARFUNKEL.
John has published his best-selling memoirs, Give Me Ten Seconds and also a book about Margaret Thatcher (Maggie - now out in paperback), who made him well known following the famous ‘handbagging incident’ outside the Paris Embassy two days before she resigned in 1990.
A hit in the West End and Broadway, this legendary Oscar-winning film starring Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft, is brought vividly back to life on stage.

When Ben graduates from college, his parents expect great things from him and push him towards a successful business career.

Fascinating Aida

Wed 11 to Sat 14 Feb 7:30pm Matinées (Thurs & Sat) 2:30pm This is surely one of the world’s most famous operettas and it now gets a glittering new look by the country’s best small-scale operetta company, which now turns its hand to Johann Strauss and this most sparkling of scores. Dr Falke was once left to wander home, drunk, and dressed as a bat, by his friend Gabriel von Eisenstein.
To exact his revenge he arranges for Eisenstein to attend an extremely risqué party at the home of the outrageous Russian aristocrat, Prince Orlofsky, and there Eisenstein seduces a mysterious Hungarian countess, who is in fact his own wife in disguise. An evening not to be missed! Solo theatre goers see page 16

Not a comeback, but a quartercentury birthday celebration! Britain’s top female comedy trio are 25 years old (well, older actually, but they have decided their Silver Jubilee can be celebrated for a few more years at least)! Dillie Keane formed Fascinating Aida in 1983 and has tried to shake it off ever since. It keeps coming back to haunt her - and you! Twenty five years, five continents, six West End runs, six albums, five nominations (three Olivier, one Drama Desk, one Perrier), two books, one glorious transsexual,
Now with new songs, not for money but just for the fun of it and playing to an even older audience than before. Shuffle to get a ticket and grumble at the steepness of the stairs! Happy Birthday Fascinating Aida! Tickets: Concessions: Friends:

Writer, broadcaster, raconteur - and Australia’s finest export - Clive James has been a British institution for longer than he cares to remember. In an unprecedented feat of strength he carries his latest book on stage and then talks about almost anything else, after which he answers questions about everything except his liaison with Margarita Pracatan. Famous for writing the way he talks, Clive James can talk the way he writes. When asked if he was actually really
a stand-up comedian, Clive was the man who lay back in his sun-lounger beside the swimming pool of the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles and said “What does it look like?” Concludes with an exclusive question and answer session - pitch your own question to the master interviewer!
What’s worse than being a podgy, swotty, virginal schoolboy? What if your dad’s the headmaster too? In 1981 at the Kings of Wessex Upper School in Cheddar in Somerset, this was the nightmare reality for Richard Herring, son of TK “The Kipper” Herring. How on earth did he cope?
In the 1990s Richard Herring was in the prodigious double act Lee and Herring, who created the cult classic BBC2 shows Fist of Fun and This Morning With Richard Not Judy. More recently he has written and starred in ITV1’s You Can Choose Your Friends and Radio 4’s Banter.

Wed 11 to Sat 14 Feb 7:30pm Matinées (Thurs & Sat) 2:30pm This is surely one of the world’s most famous operettas and it now gets a glittering new look by the country’s best small-scale operetta company, which now turns its hand to Johann Strauss and this most sparkling of scores. Dr Falke was once left to wander home, drunk, and dressed as a bat, by his friend Gabriel von Eisenstein.
To exact his revenge he arranges for Eisenstein to attend an extremely risqué party at the home of the outrageous Russian aristocrat, Prince Orlofsky, and there Eisenstein seduces a mysterious Hungarian countess, who is in fact his own wife in disguise. An evening not to be missed! Solo theatre goers see page 16

Not a comeback, but a quartercentury birthday celebration! Britain’s top female comedy trio are 25 years old (well, older actually, but they have decided their Silver Jubilee can be celebrated for a few more years at least)! Dillie Keane formed Fascinating Aida in 1983 and has tried to shake it off ever since. It keeps coming back to haunt her - and you! Twenty five years, five continents, six West End runs, six albums, five nominations (three Olivier, one Drama Desk, one Perrier), two books, one glorious transsexual,
Now with new songs, not for money but just for the fun of it and playing to an even older audience than before. Shuffle to get a ticket and grumble at the steepness of the stairs! Happy Birthday Fascinating Aida! Tickets: Concessions: Friends:

Writer, broadcaster, raconteur - and Australia’s finest export - Clive James has been a British institution for longer than he cares to remember. In an unprecedented feat of strength he carries his latest book on stage and then talks about almost anything else, after which he answers questions about everything except his liaison with Margarita Pracatan. Famous for writing the way he talks, Clive James can talk the way he writes. When asked if he was actually really
a stand-up comedian, Clive was the man who lay back in his sun-lounger beside the swimming pool of the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles and said “What does it look like?” Concludes with an exclusive question and answer session - pitch your own question to the master interviewer!
What’s worse than being a podgy, swotty, virginal schoolboy? What if your dad’s the headmaster too? In 1981 at the Kings of Wessex Upper School in Cheddar in Somerset, this was the nightmare reality for Richard Herring, son of TK “The Kipper” Herring. How on earth did he cope?
In the 1990s Richard Herring was in the prodigious double act Lee and Herring, who created the cult classic BBC2 shows Fist of Fun and This Morning With Richard Not Judy. More recently he has written and starred in ITV1’s You Can Choose Your Friends and Radio 4’s Banter.

Herring dusts off his old diaries, rekindles memories that might best have been left forgotten and picks the scabs off of wounds that he thought had healed to discover if he can, as he hopes, blame his upbringing for his adult failures.

Speed The Plow
Stones in His Pockets
Presented by Theatre Royal Winchester
Wed 4 to Sun 8 Mar 8:00pm Matinées (Thurs and Sat) 2:30pm ‘Industry produces wealth, God speed the plow’.
www.theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk
In this celebrated black comedy, two Hollywood producers clash over the age-old movie business dilemma of money versus art. Should the studio greenlight another surefire blockbuster or an art-house adaptation of an obscure yet brilliant novel? When the young office temp’s opinion is sought by one of them, sex and its resultant power games begin to muddy the waters even further in this hilarious and scathingly satirical dissection of Hollywood at its most shameless and shameful. Speed The Plow is Pulitzer Prizewinner David Mamet’s deftest and funniest work, crammed full of brilliant one liners and chilling insight, and is currently enjoying a successful run on
Broadway. Mamet is the author of such classics as Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo and his screenwriting credits include such films as The Untouchables, The Postman Always Rings Twice and The Verdict. This dazzling and incisive play reveals Mamet’s mastery of the language of moral cupidity and shows his intimate knowledge of the darker motivations and subtle power plays of human nature. Set in the eighties - that era of unstoppable ego, greed and ambition - this production, directed by James Barry, is a distillation of the tensions, moral challenges and tests of character that life throws our way, played out in the dog-eatdog world of mega-corporate show business, where the stakes are high and the struggle is merciless. Licensed by arrangement with The Agency (London) Ltd.

Fri 6 Feb to Mon 9 March Katie writes of her approach to photography, “I like the approach of framing nature, pointing it out. Take the simple image of the leaf, we all walk by these everyday, it is only when it is framed that it becomes amazing. I like looking at things through a lens as it seems to put the rest of the world into perspective. Everybody is always looking at the bigger picture; I like to concentrate on the small.” “I moved to Winchester after falling in love with the city when I moved here for Uni. I live centrally and work in Southampton. I have always taken pictures as a hobby for as long as I can remember. I used to watch my Dad when I was younger and thought he was pretty cool he once told me about the involvement photography had on his life when he was younger.”
