HA HA HAMLET
Direct from the Edinburgh Festival.
Shakespeare’s comedy Hamlet in its original First
Fo-ho-holio Format before it was rewritten as a tragedy
with loads of killing at the end. Three street-theatre stars
from London’s Covent Garden bring you Hamlet as you’ve
never seen it before. In fact, as no-one has ever seen it
before! This is Hamlet with all the famous bits, all the
well-known quotes (and some completely made-up ones too),
and loads of gags that Shakespeare wishes he’d kept
in!
See it – or Else…inore!

TANGO! TANGO!
Award winning musician and author, Justin Pearson has
created a show that transports its audience into the world
of Buenos Aires and that strictly passionate, and most
intimate of dances, the Tango. The great genius of the
medium, Astor Piazzolla, is depicted as a passionate composer,
an outsider who fought, connived and survived for his
music. Alongside actor Patrick Lannigan, are five great
musicians -Tango Volcano - and two dancers. The melancholy
voice of the bandoneon provides the authentic sound of
the tango, and includes some of the great tangos from
the Golden Era. Tango carries with it a sexy and sophisticated
image, and has evolved from the many "salons" both in
Argentina and abroad. This thriving underworld dances
through the night in hidden clubs but in this show, explodes
with colour and movement that is simply irresistible.

AN EVENING WITH BLOWERS
Henry Blofeld, one of Britain’s most celebrated
cricket commentators and the doyen of BBC Radio’s
Test Match Special, will take to the stage this
autumn in a totally different guise, with An Evening
With Blowers. Famed as ‘the voice of cricket’
and one of the great characters of the game, Blowers,
as he is affectionately known, is as renowned for his
catchphrase – “my dear old thing”;
for his musings on pigeons, double-decker buses, planes,
tea ladies, and of course, cakes, as he is for his much-loved
commentating prowess. He remains one of the most respected
and knowledgeable commentators in the sport – and
one of the most charming. A must for cricket fans young
and old alike and anyone else who enjoys a cracking yarn
well told, An Evening With Blowers is a thoroughly
quintessential British affair in which Henry trawls through
his extraordinary life and career, and pays homage to
his insatiable passion for cricket.

Black Eyed Theatre Company
OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR
Ninety years on from the Armistice, Oh What A Lovely
War remains a classic of the modern theatre and a powerful
reminder of the atrocities of a war that cost twenty million
lives. Told through the songs and documents of the period,
it’s a satirical attack on the military incompetence
and inconceivable disregard for human life the First World
War has come to represent and a chilling reminder of man’s
inhumanity to man. At turns satirical, funny and deeply
moving, Oh What a Lovely War has a style all of its own,
combining live music, dance, songs and sketches to create
a picture of life for those on the front line and those
behind it.
Wednesday 29th October 8pm
