Sebastian Faulks
at Salisbury Playhouse
If you haven’t read
the book you should. This performance had all the passion, anger,
drama, intensity, shock and horror and the beauty of the book, we all
came out feeling almost shell-shocked, There wasn’t a weak
performance among the 12-strong cast who gave us a stunning and
emotional piece of theatre - a very memorable evening.

Meet
Myra, Sylvia, Helen and Jessica in this hilarious show. Share
in the friendships, the secrets, the tears, the laughs and ups and
downs of four ordinary women – and one man – living extraordinary
lives. A successful barrister, specialising in divorce,
Myra had always considered herself a together sort of person. That
is, until she began to develop the symptoms of you know what... and
her rat of a husband left her for a big blonde bimbo from his
office. Jessica’s husband has worked hard and made lots
of money and they both enjoy the finer things in life. Her life
seemed perfect until her mid-life crisis began but she’s coping
with the help of her friends and the vicar. She just wishes that the
vicar could explain why when God made man he didn’t try a little
harder? Sylvia has been married to Joe since she
was twenty... and has been bored with him since she was twenty-one.
She’s now decided that life is for living and she’s making up for
lost time. Helen, a widow, whose only daughter has left
for university, is feeling a bit lonely. Helen tries to take one day
at a time; it’s just that sometimes, several days attack her at
once.

Performed
as three trios in repertory.
Nuffield
and English Touring Theatre present the first major revival in the
UK of all nine one-act plays by Noël Coward.
Tonight
at 8.30 is a collection of nine one-act plays by the inimitable
Noël Coward, performed together for the first time in the UK, since
Coward starred in them in 1936. From vaudeville to satire, from
broad farce to intricate comedy of manners, from melodrama to
romance, these plays span the full, glorious range of Coward’s
writing.
You
can peep through your fingers at the Red Peppers chaotic music-hall
show, witness a bankrupt couple use all Ways and Means to
scheme their way out of debt, and break your heart along with Laura
in the famous Still Life, the original version of the film Brief
Encounter.
This
is a unique opportunity to see a stellar ensemble perform all nine of
these plays.
Make
a day of it
On the days featuring all three trios, Nuffield Kitchen invites
you to a 1930s dinner party in between each show. Lunch

Playhouse The
Ballard of Martha Brown
Friday
16th
May 7.30pm Tickets £13
“I
remember what a fine figure she showed against the sky as she hung in
the misty rain and how the tight black silk gown set off her shape as
she wheeled half round and back” –
Thomas Hardy recalling Martha Brown’s public hanging 70 years after
the event.
Expect
the unexpected in Angel Exit’s latest original drama based on the
life and times of Martha Brown; the last woman, in Dorset, to be
publicly hanged.
A
tale of jealousy and passion, an ordinary woman and her ordinary
husband, a hatchet grabbed in haste, a murder, a wrongly accused
horse, a black silk dress, the hangman from London and the mob at the
hang-fair who gawp in glee.
Presented
in the company’s rich visual style, blending storytelling and
striking physicality, the show is spliced through with wicked humour
and macabre songs.
Antony
& Cleopatra The Globe Theatre London
Thursday
June 5th
2. pm Tickets £39.00, plus travel
Two lovers are blown apart by love and war
Cleopatra, the alluring and
fascinatingly ambiguous Queen of Egypt, has bewitched the great Mark
Antony, soldier, campaigner and now one of the three rulers of the
Roman Empire. When Antony quarrels with his fellow leaders and throws
in his lot with Cleopatra, his infatuation threatens to split the
Empire in two.
Roman virtue and Eastern vice,
transcendent love and realpolitik combine in Antony and Cleopatra,
Shakespeare’s greatest exploration of the conflicting claims of sex
and power, all expressed in a tragic poetry of breathtaking beauty
and magnificence.
Plaza
Theatre, Romsey The Accrington Pals by Peter
Whelan
Thursday
17th
July 7.30pm
The
play looks at both the terrifying experiences of the men at the front
in the first world war and the women who were left behind to face
social changes, deprivation and the lies of propaganda. While often
comic vignettes portray the everyday life of a town denuded of men,
the men face the terror that is the Battle of the Somme. This
compassionate play portrays the devastating effects of war on a
typical Lancashire mill town and the suffering of everyday people
