|
Following sell-out successes in
the West End, Toronto and Miami,
and based on the iconic seventies
film that launched Jimmy Cliff onto
the world stage, this exhilarating
production tells the story of a
country boy who makes for the bright
lights of Kingston, Jamaica with
high hopes of becoming a reggae
star. When the harsh reality of
the music scene drives him into
a fast and furious life as an outlaw,
he would rather die than give up
his dream! All the songs that made
the movie so unforgettable are here
– You Can Get It If You Really
Want, Many Rivers To Cross, Higher
and Higher, Rivers of Babylon and
The Harder They Come – all
performed live by the hottest reggae
band this side of the Atlantic.

It’s love at first dance when
young Romeo Montague tricks his
way into the lavish masked ball
of the Capulet family. The Capulets
and Montagues are sworn enemies
and the passion between Romeo and
the beautiful Juliet Capulet is
quickly forbidden. Boldly forgoing
the approval of their families,
the young lovers play by their own
rules and soon their dangerous seduction
is filled with secrets, as the star-crossed
pair hatch a perilous plot. Can
Romeo and Juliet play tricks with
life and death? Or will death play
a final trick on them? With a sweeping
score by Sergei Prokofiev and soaring
choreography from the master of
modern ballet, Kenneth MacMillan,
Romeo and Juliet continues to be
the all-time classic love story.

will never wake up. If it is reality
then where is the door leading out
of this world?” Described
as radical, progressive, non-traditional
and stylish, blackSKYwhite's performances
are always magical sights, impossible
to classify and genuinely genre-defying.
Their spectacular performances incorporate
human animation, a cacophony of
electronic music and stunning lighting
- creating the effect of something
unreal which draws you into a world
of great illusion. A nightmare vision
of an alternative reality. Suitable
for ages 12+. «

Adrian Edmondson and The Bad Shepherds
play punk songs on folk instruments.
Not as a gag, but because they really
like the noise. This folk band with
a difference play hits from well-known
groups such as The Sex Pistols,
The Clash, The Stranglers, The Jam,
Sham 69, The Undertones, The Ramones,
The Buzzcocks, The Specials, Talking
Heads, Squeeze and others, even
Kraftwerk! They've mostly given
the songs a kind of Celtic feel
and they've even stuck in the odd
reel and jig here and there.

A group of people walk across the
Plaza while listening to questions
and instructions on headphones.
Who are they, where do they come
from and what is their relationship
to each other? Some are more innocent
than others. The same can’t
be said for the result. Through
the participants’ simple movements,
small groups start to form in the
audience. These micro communities
expose underlying social patterns
and tell a tale that Domini Públic
carefully orchestrates. What starts
off looking like a 3D poll brought
to life ends up transforming into
a bizarre fiction. «

Following
last year’s sell-out tour
and sensational performances on
‘The Royal Variety Performance’,
‘Live At The Apollo’,
and ‘Michael Mcintyre’s
Comedy Roadshow’, the Welsh
Wonder is back on the road with
a brand new show. Last year, he
punched a shop-assistant over the
duvet tog-rating system and went
berserk over a mince pie. Stung
by accusations that he over-reacts,
this year Rhod sets out on an emotional
rollercoaster of a journey to discover
the truth. Is he, as he believes,
a visionary in a sea of closed minds,
or has he, as everyone else believes,
got anger-management problems? Total
sell-out, Edinburgh 2005-2008. If.
Comedy Nominee 2008. One of the
hottest names in stand-up today.

Featuring the best gags and a great
meal, this pitch-perfect ‘13th
episode' of the TV series is face-achingly
funny. Basil is manic, Sybil domineering,
and Manuel hopelessly language-challenged.
Everything that can wrong does in
some beautifully controlled chaos.
This is ‘total immersion’
interactive comedy theatre: you,
the audience, are the diners and
the cast your warring waiters…But
please, don’t mention the
war!’

After a sell-out success in London,
Alan Bennett’s latest play
comes to The Lowry. The Habit of
Art looks at the unsettling desires
of two difficult men, in an imagined
meeting between W H Auden and Benjamin
Britten. It reflects on growing
old, creativity and inspiration,
and on persisting when all passion’s
spent; ultimately on the habit of
art.

Direct from the West End and Broadway.
There was a warning. And its name
was ENRON. One of the most infamous
scandals in financial history becomes
a unique theatrical event in ‘Rupert
Goold’s brilliant production’
(Guardian). Mixing classical tragedy
with savage comedy, ENRON reviews
the tumultuous 1990s and casts new
light on the current financial situation.
This record breaking production
is directed by Headlong’s
Artistic Director Rupert Goold,
whose credits for the company include
Six Characters in Search of an Author,
which transferred to the West End
in 2008, and King Lear starring
Pete Postlethwaite. Other credits
include the multi award-winning
Macbeth with Patrick Stewart, No
Man’s Land and Oliver! «

“I suppose I am a survivor
since I am still here recording
an album,” says Marc Almond.
With
Soft Cell, the first successful
British electro-duo in partnership
with Dave Ball, Marc achieved a
string of international hits - biggest
of all, their version of northern
soul classic Tainted Love, while
Memorabilia is cited as the first
techno record ever. 10 million-plus
worldwide record sales later, Soft
Cell are a British icon, influencing
several subsequent generations of
musicians - from Pulp, The Pet Shop
Boys and Suede, to Goldfrapp and
onto Antony Hegarty of Antony &
The Johnsons fame. Stardom Road
was the first album recorded since
his near-fatal accident. With one
exception, it’s an album of
covers, chosen and sequenced to
tell Almond’s story. It resembles
not just an album but a play, which
clearly suits a man who comes alive
on stage, whose songs have always
resembled dramas, whether they are
underpinned by fizzy synth-pop,
60s-inspired pop kitsch-arama, bare-naked
acoustic ballads or orchestrated
splendour. «

A
traditional seasonal treat for young
people aged six upwards, their friends,
teachers and families. Ebenezer
Scrooge, the world’s most
notorious miser, is so mean he even
begrudges his staff a day off at
Christmas. Until, that is, he’s
confronted by the Spirits of Christmas
- Christmas Past, Christmas Present
and Christmas Future. Together,
the spirits use magic to show him
the miserable consequences of his
meanness. Christmas wouldn’t
be Christmas without Charles Dickens’
timeless and heart-warming tale,
directed by Rachel O’Riordan,
who directed Grimm Tales, the Christmas
2009 production at the Library Theatre.
See our December
calendar for all times
and dates of this performance.
