STEPPING OUT A Comedy By Richard Harris Glam Dram the newly formed theatre group of St Donats Arts Centre are proud to present their first production – Stepping Out. A comedy play concerns eight individuals from disparate backgrounds and with differing motivations who attend the same weekly tap dancing class in a dingy North London church hall. Despite the students at first treating the classes as social occasions, and showing little co-ordination, they later develop a level of

skill and cohesiveness. The dance routines are the background for the focus of the play, the relationship and interaction of different people. Made popular from the film with Liza Minnelli and Julie Walters. £6 / £5.50 Concessions

HAMLET

by William Shakespeare The Globe Theatre returns to St Donats Arts Centre with a raw, thrillingly elemental production of this inexhaustible play, widely acclaimed in 2011 both on tour and at the Globe.

At night, the ghost of the old king demands that Hamlet avenge his ‘foul and most unnatural murder’.

Encompassing political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent actions, tragic depth and wild humour, Hamlet is Shakespeare’s ‘poem unlimited’, a colossus in the story of the English language and the fullest expression of Shakespeare’s genius.

The lawns will be open before hand to enjoy a pre-performance picnic for a perfect summer’s outing.
