SUMMARY:Theatre Visit - The Seagull
DESCRIPTION:Chekhov’s much-loved masterpiece soars anew in a darkly comic reimagining by Mike Poulton\, with beloved stage and screen star Caroline Quentin leading a stellar ensemble. \nA once-celebrated actress\, Arkadina (Quentin) dominates every room she enters\, leaving little chance for anyone else to shine.

But when Nina’s gaze turns instead to Arkadina’s lover\, the celebrated writer Trigorin\, egos and passions collide with devastating consequences. \nDirected by The Lyceum’s new Artistic Director\, the award-winning James Brining\, The Seagull blends sharp-edged comedy and emotionally rich drama into a timeless story of vanity\, creative hunger\, and the cost of dreams. \nThe performance begins at 7.30pm

SUMMARY:Theatre: Redlands
DESCRIPTION:Please note this trip will now be on Tuesday 1st October\, changed from Tuesday 24th September. \nIn the quiet market town of Chichester\, the most famous members of the most infamous rock group in the world are on trial. \n1967. At Keith Richards’s country house Redlands in deepest West Sussex\, the Rolling Stones are enjoying a bohemian night in with the likes of Marianne Faithfull and George Harrison\, until the constabulary swoop down and charge Keith and Mick Jagger with drug offences. \nOnly one man can defend the two icons of the 60s revolution: Michael Havers\, leading QC and future attorney general. But the furore also brings into the spotlight his own relationship with his son\, aspiring teenage actor Nigel Havers\, who’s been drawn into Marianne’s orbit… \nThis riotous\, psychedelic and hugely entertaining account of possibly the most bizarre English court case ever held evokes a turning point in cultural history and the clash between the generations. \nDetails\n\nRedlands by Charlotte Jones\nTuesday 1st October at 7.30pm\nChichester Festival Theatre\nTickets are £30.00\n\nContact\nKay Corke\nTel: 01489 890727\nEmail: kc.24@btinternet.com

SUMMARY:Theatre: The Promise
DESCRIPTION:Please note this event is in addition to the other organised theatre trips. \n1945. In a country exhausted and crippled by debt after six years of war\, time is up for Winston Churchill’s Tories. With a rallying cry for change\, Labour wins an astonishing\, landslide election victory. \nClement Attlee may be an unlikely prime minister and his cabinet of competing heavyweights – from the loyal Ernest Bevin to scheming Herbert Morrison – argue furiously about how to realise their manifesto: to make a welfare state\, build millions of homes\, reorganise dilapidated schools\, and most dramatically\, create a National Health Service that is free at the point of need. \nDriven by the passionate and courageous radical Ellen Wilkinson\, and the visionary firebrand Nye Bevan\, a very British revolution is in the air. But in the face of bitter opposition\, is this an audacious pledge of hope or a promise too far? \nDetails\n\nThe Promise by Paul Unwin\nTuesday 30th July at 7.00pm\nMinerva Theatre\nTickets are £30.00\n\nContact\nKay Corke\nTel: 01489 890727\nEmail: kc.24@btinternet.com

SUMMARY:Theatre: The Caretaker
DESCRIPTION:We’re in London\, at the tail end of the 1950s\, in a derelict room stuffed with junk\, detritus and a bucket for the leaky ceiling. Enter two men: the room’s occupant\, the gentle and damaged Aston\, and Davies\, a mercurial drifter whom Aston has brought in from the streets. Soon they’re joined by the building’s owner\, Aston’s brother: the explosively unpredictable Mick. \nWhat follows is a darkly comic\, unsettling tango as the three men vie for territory\, opportunity and control that remains tantalisingly out of reach. \nPremiered in 1960\, The Caretaker was Harold Pinter’s first major success and is now regarded as a landmark of 20th century drama\, laced with astringent wit and unsentimental compassion. \nDetails\n\nThe Caretaker by Harold Pinter\nMonday 8th July at 7.00pm\nMinerva Theatre\nTickets are £30.00\n\nContact\nKay Corke\nTel: 01489 890727\nEmail: kc.24@btinternet.com

SUMMARY:Theatre: Coram Boy
DESCRIPTION:Angels and abandoned children\, glorious music and murder most foul whirl through this enthralling\, moving and richly colourful tale of 18th century England. \nAt Gloucester Cathedral\, Alexander Ashbrook\, heir to an aristocratic estate\, has his heart set on becoming a composer; but his stern father refuses to listen and despite his love for the beautiful Melissa\, flight seems his only option.

SUMMARY:Theatre: The Other Boleyn Girl
DESCRIPTION:Henry VIII’s court is a stage for love and treachery\, where the weapons of choice are sex\, marriage\, and the executioner’s axe.
