Classic Spring presents A Woman of No Importance which embarks on a UK tour this Autumn, following its success in London's West End.

Following the success in London's West End, Classic Spring's A Woman of No Importance will embark on a major UK tour this Autumn. The show heads to Theatre Royal Brighton from Monday 23 a?" Saturday 28 September.

An earnest young American woman, a louche English lord and an innocent young chap join a house party of fin de siècle fools and grotesques. Nearby a woman lives, cradling a long-buried secret. In A Woman of No Importance, Oscar Wilde's marriage of glittering wit and Ibsenite drama created a vivid new theatrical voice.

The Tabard presents its upcoming run of Oscar Wilde's perennial tale of the woes of social obligation, The Importance of Being Earnest. This new, uproarious production of Wilde's timeless tour-de-farce breathes life into one of the most immaculately crafted stage comedies of all time.

Variety reports that Lee Cronin's Sundance premiere 'The Hole in The Ground' sold North American distribution rights to A24 and DirecTV.

A little dated for sure, but with enough Ayckbourn (and even a touch of Fawlty Towers) to appeal to 21st century audiences, this is a pleasing, if unchallenging, evening's entertainment.

During 2018, the Finborough Theatre celebrates 150 years of the Finborough Theatre building with an anniversary selection of the best plays from 1868. The FINBOROUGH150 series opens with the first London production since 1890 of Cyril's Success by playwright and local resident Henry J. Byron playing for nine Sunday and Monday evenings and Tuesday matinees from Sunday, 4 February 2018 (Press Night: Monday, 5 February 2018 at 7.30pm).

'Marriage is a slippery thing...'

'Marriage is a slippery thing...'

In 1960's Baltimore, Tracy Turnblad's dreams are as big as her hair. She longs to be a council member on 'The Corny Collins Show', her favorite TV dance show, and to meet (perhaps even marry) her long time crush, Link Larkin, a regular on the show. When Tracy hears that 'The Corny Collin's Show' is looking for a new member, she is determined to audition despite the worries of her mother, Edna. Tracy's pursuit of her dream leads her to realize that the struggle for equality is more important than ever before. City of Fairfax Theatre Company and Truro Anglican Church's production of Hairspray is at times 'a gas' (That's 60's lingo for a lot of fun), but its technical aspects are less than groovy.
