Morecambe & Wise Rebooted Presented by Oh Yes! Productions Morecambe and Wise Rebooted is a live theatre version of a classic Eric and Ernie television show. If ‘the boys’ were still with us today what sort of sketches and routines would they be performing? That’s the question writers Max Martin and Mike Pannell asked themselves and they came up with a brand new concept and script which is not only topical and ‘of the day’ but stays true to the winning format
we are all familiar with. Don't miss this opportunity to witness the revival of the magic and genius of Britain's greatest TV comedy stars.
Stone, a humourless and dour man, invites Dee, a television playwright, over to his flat on the premise of discussing a script. Once there, she is surprised when superintendent Hallett, the man with whom she is having an affair, also arrives for an entirely different reason.

Little Shop of Horrors
The Yeomen of the Guard
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this oddball romantic comedy introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in the canon. These include, Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight Mission doll out to reform the evil-doers of Times Square; Sky Masterson, the slick high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love and Adelaide, the chronically ill night club performer.
Kipps and Ann were childhood friends. When they parted Kipps cut a sixpence in half and told Ann to look at it whenever she missed him. Years later they rekindled their friendship but things change when Kipps finds he has inherited a fortune. He forgets Ann and falls in love with Helen and is drawn into high society. They get engaged but all goes wrong when Helen's errant brother invests and loses all Kipps' money.

ANTONY & CLEOPATRA (12A)
THU 28 MAY 2pm The incredible story of art's great revolutionaries and the collector who saved the Impressionist movement. In 1886, art collector Paul Durand-Ruel decided to exhibit the Impressionists in New York. This brave move reinvigorated a movement that was dying out in its native France. Wealthy Americans flocked to buy the works of Monet, Cezanne, Degas and their contemporaries. Soon, prestigious US galleries were filled with Impressionist masterworks. A major new international exhibition from the Musee du Luxembourg Paris, National Gallery London and Philadelphia Museum celebrates Durand-Ruel's far-sighted championing of these great artists. It presents what may well be the most comprehensive collection of their work ever assembled. This remarkable documentary enjoys unparalleled access to the treasures on display. It sets out to explore who the impressionists were and how and why they painted. The film asks what lies behind their art's appeal and why it continues to sell for millions. (90min)

WED 10 JUN 7.15pm When Rodolfo meets Mimi they fall passionately in love. But their happiness is threatened when Rodolfo learns that Mini is gravely ill. Rodolfo, painfully aware that he cannot afford the medicine and care Mimì needs, separates from her. At the end of her life Mimì returns to Rodolfo's garret.

Rodolfo and Mimì's love story is given moving expression through Puccini's score, from their first meeting in Act I to their poignant reunion in Act IV. These moments of emotional intensity are contrasted with the colourful spectacle of the Café Momus and surrounding streets in Act II, where Puccini presents a cross-section of Parisian society in all its noise and vibrancy.
