LEND ME A TENOR
Radlett Players
It is the biggest night in the history of The Bexhill-on-Sea
Grand Opera Company and world famous Italian tenor Signor
Tito Mirello will be their guest artist as 'Othello'. But
his hot-headed wife and a 'Dear John' letter mistaken for
his suicide note sends everyone into a spin – no Tito,
no ticket sales! 'Yet to be discovered' singer Max is coerced
into impersonating Tito to save the show and dressed in
costume, wig and make up, he's a dead ringer for the dead
singer. Until Tito wakes up from his apparent one too many
sedatives, refreshed and ready for the spotlight! Support
your local amateur society.

IOLANTHE
RLOS
Whether they are on the grouse moors of Scotland or in their
more usual setting of Westminster, members of the House
of Lords are finding themselves in a pickle. Sound familiar?
Some things never change, as Radlett Light Opera Society's
production of Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe shows. At a
shooting party, a group of peers find themselves at odds
with some very influential fairies, who follow them to London
- with some surprising results. When fairies and peers collide,
sparks will fly, and this sparky show is full of wit, great
music and fun for all. Support your local amateur
society.

THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE by Martin McDonagh
Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, The Beauty
Queen of Leenane tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen
Folan, a plain, lonely woman in her early forties, and Mag,
her manipulative, ageing mother. When Mag interferes in
Maureen's first and possibly final chance of a loving relationship,
a train of events is set in motion that leads inexorably
towards the play's terrifying finale. Martin McDonagh's
multi award-winning play is a gripping blend of dark comedy,
melodrama, horror and tragedy.
The Beauty Queen of Leenane was first presented as a Druid
Theatre/Royal Court Theatre co-production in January 1996.
The play won the George Devine Award, the Writer's Guild
Award, the Critic's Circle Award and Martin McDonagh received
the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright.
The production transferred to New York, opening on Broadway
in April 1998, and was nominated for six Tony Awards.
