Forthcoming Theatre Visits

Mary Shelley By Helen Edmundson Theatre Royal Winchester

Thursday 7th of June 1.30pm Tickets £18.00

This astonishing new play explores Shelley’s remarkable life: her controversial philosopher father, her scandalous elopement aged 16 and how she wrote a novel, so radical in its ideology, that in 1817 she changed the literary landscape forever.



The Taming of The Shrew The Globe Theatre, London

Tuesday 3rd July Tickets £32.+ Coach £13.50 Leaving Totton at 9.15am, returning approx 8pm

Two wealthy sisters in Padua must be married off. The modest, demure Bianca has no shortage of suitors, but who on earth will take the wild, ungovernable, shrewish Katherina? Only the gold-digging Petruchio, a man as maddeningly strong-willed and perverse as Katherina herself, is equal to the `task of bullying her to the altar.

Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedy, The Taming of the Shrew introduces one of theatre’s great screwball double-acts, a couple hell-bent on confusing and outwitting each other right up to the play’s equivocal and controversial conclusion.

Just 4 Tickets Left. There are 8 spaces left on the coach for anyone wishing to have day trip to London. The cost will be £13.50

Take a defeated Amazon Queen forced to marry the victorious Duke, four star-crossed lovers, the warring King and Queen of the fairies, a group of very coarse-acting factory workers trying to put on a play, a mischievous bunch of fairies led by the prankster Puck, all on a Midsummer Night, and you have a recipe for mirth, mayhem, mystery and plenty of magic.

The Last of the Haussmans A new play by Stephen Beresford.

Thursday 11th October 7pm Tickets £13.00

Julie Walters plays Judy Haussman with Rory Kinnear and Helen McCrory as her children in this eagerly anticipated new play: a funny, touching and sometimes savage portrait of a family that's losing its grip.

Anarchic, feisty but growing old, high society drop-out Judy Haussman remains in spirit with the Ashrams of the 1960s while holding court in her dilapidated Art Deco house on the Devon coast. After an operation, she is joined by wayward offspring Nick and Libby, sharp-eyed granddaughter Summer, local doctor Peter, and Daniel, a troubled teenager who makes use of the family's crumbling swimming pool. Together they share a few sweltering months in this chaotic world of all-day drinking, infatuations, long-held resentments, free love and failure

Cast includes: Rory Kinnear, Isabella Laughland, Helen McCrory, Matthew Marsh, Julie Walters..



Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare Statrs Simon Russell Beale
Thursday 1st November 7pm Tickets £13.00

Wealthy friend to the rich and powerful, patron of the arts and ostentatious host, Timon of Athens is surrounded by freeloaders and sycophants. He vastly outspends his resources but, finding his coffers empty, reassures his loyal steward that all will be well.

When he calls upon his associates, instead of offering help, they hang him out to dry. After a final, vengeful banquet, Timon withdraws to a literal and emotional wasteland, living off roots and pouring curses on a morally bankrupt Athens.
