Hanger Farm Arts Centre The Cod Fathers of Croon Opera Dudes
Friday 10th February 7.30pm Tickets £10 / Cons £8.00 BUY ONE GET ONE FREE
These two have the style and sophistication of Il Divo, the talent of Bocelli and Bublé, the sharpest of suits and the corniest jokes!
From Verdi to Viennese, from Rachmaninoff to Rodgers and Hammerstein, be prepared for a Salmon Chanted Evening!
They've been practising their scales, studying their "tuna day" books, put their heart and sole into preparations and now the Opera Dudes are ready to give you a whale of a time!
It was opera that brought the two together and the music of the crooners that cemented their friendship.
As The Opera Dudes they get to indulge all their musical loves and have created an act which combines their many years of musical training with an equally long time spent messing about on the river.

Salisbury Playhouse ‘Design For Living’ by Noel Coward
Monday 13th February 7.30pm Tickets £12.00
Noël Coward’s witty and passionate 1930s comedy centres on a group of bohemians for whom three is not a crowd. From the garrets of Paris to the penthouses of Manhattan, a tempestuous love triangle plays out between the artist Otto, the playwright Leo and the interior designer Gilda – three people who are irresistibly and unashamedly drawn to each other.

Twelth Night The Globe Theatre, London

Leaving Totton at 9.15am, returning approx 8pm

Twelfth Night In the household of Olivia, two campaigns are being quietly waged – one by the lovesick lord Orsino against the heart of the indifferent Olivia; the other by an alliance of servants and hangers-on against the high-handedness of her steward, the pompous Malvolio. When Orsino engages the cross-dressed Viola to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a bittersweet chain of events follows.
Filled with a cast of unforgettable characters, Twelfth Night combines cruelty with high comedy and the pangs of unrequited love with some of the subtlest poetry and most exquisite songs Shakespeare ever wrote.
