Back in 1993, Perm Media reported on female dance enthusiasts – each weighing more than 100 kilos – being enrolled to a new dance team. Now their grace and passion for dance wins audiences’ hearts at first glance, and forever. The Big Ballet breaks all common notions of what choreography should be like. They produce a “smashing cocktail” of hits, where the audience is presented with an unforgettable fantasy, accompanied by wonderful music that truly complements the magic of the dancers.

“There’s two sorts o’ people on this ship- There’s the people who’ve had it all their own way up to now., then there’s people like us, who’ve never had a chance”
When an art-deco ocean liner catches fire in the Caribbean, passengers and crew are forced to abandon ship. However, faulty lifeboats and bad weather force twelve individuals to remain. As the ship lists and slowly sinks, tensions rise to the surface and the stricken passengers and crew are forced to pull together and pray to be rescued.

This new production is a rare opportunity to see this little-known thriller, by the author best known for An Inspector Calls, Dangerous Corner and I Have Been Here Before.

’Touched’ by Stephen Lowe. 10th April
“You can’t have it, duck, you know that, don’t you? I mean, there’s no way you can have it.
Not with him coming back like that.
I can understand how you feel, but there’ll be others, and it’ll be right then. They’ll be his”
Summer 1945. In the hundred days between victory in Europe and Victory in Japan, three sisters in a working-class suburb of Nottingham contemplate the challenges of peace after war. One of them falls in love with a Polish airman; another discovers she is pregnant, while her husband is still away. All face an uncertain future as families await the return of their menfolk.

Thirty years after its first production by Richard Eyre, this humorous, compassionate and uplifting play is vividly revived for a new generation.
