10th February - 14th March 2009

A stylish musical comedy by legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Stephen Sondheim (Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, Company)

Seduced by the glamorous parties and new-found affluence of 1929 New York, penniless Gene Gorman disguises himself as a successful businessman to capture the heart of the beautiful heiress Helene.

But she has secrets of her own...........A sparkling story of love, ambition and friendship unfolds over a series of Saturday nights in Sondheim's hugely enjoyable first musical. Packed with dazzling choreography and showstopping music - including "What More Do I Need", "So Many People" and the UK premiere of two new songs - this is an unforgettable show for all ages, by one of the greatest musical writers of all time.

Tues - Sat 7.30pm, Sat & Sun 3pm

TRUMBO

By Christopher Trumbo

UK Premier - Showcase Production
Directed by John Dove

When legendary screenwriter Dalton Trumbo stood up to the House Un-American Activities committee in 1947, he was thrown in prison and blacklisted as of the ‘Hollywood Ten.' Based on his brilliant and razor-sharp letters to friends, former friends, and family, Trumbo reveals how the author of Spartacus, Roman Holiday and Exodus took on Congress, Hollywood, and the Red Scare - and won.

‘Positively sizzles with wit... sweet, sad and ultimately uplifting' Variety

‘...a compelling portrait of the man and his times... skilfully compiled by Trumbo's son, Christopher, from his Dad's speeches and correspondence.' Los Angeles Times
