Betty Blue Eyes

Synopsis:
Belts are being tightened and the country's long-suffering citizens are being told by the government that there will be fair shares for all in return for surviving Austerity Britain. Meanwhile local officials feather their own nests by taking far more than their own fair share. It is of course 1947, and having won the war Britain seems to have lost the peace, and the country is staggering under the burden of acute rationing, unemployment and the coldest winter for decades. the only bright spark on the horizon is the impending marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. With a simply marvellous cast of great British actors headed by Sarah Lancashire and Reece Shearsmith, Betty Blue Eyes is like no musical you will have ever seen - but she is worth saving up for!

Half A Sixpence

Synopsis:
Half A Sixpence is the iconic British musical adaptation of H.G. Wells's disguised autobiographical novel Kipps: The Story Of A Simple Soul, based on the author's unhappy apprenticeship as a draper at Hyde's Drapery Emporium in Southsea. This new stage version of the novel is a completely fresh adaptation by Julian Fellowes, Oscar-winning screenwriter and creator of Downton Abbey. Arthur Kipps, an orphan, is an over-worked draper's assistant at Shalford's Bazaar, Folkestone, at the turn of the last century. He is a charming but ordinary young man who, along with his fellow apprentices, dreams of a better and more fulfilling world, but he likes his fun just like any other, except not quite. When Kipps unexpectedly inherits a fortune that propels him into high society, it confuses everything he thought he knew about life. Watching him wrestle with his new identity is his childhood companion and not-quite girlfriend, Ann Pornick, who sees with dismay how Arthur is being made over in a new image by the beautiful and classy Helen Walsingham. She is always there with helpful hints on how Arthur could improve himself and make his life richer and more meaningful, if only he would believe in himself, and listen to her. Both of these young women love Arthur - there is no doubt about that - but which should he listen to? With the help of his friends, Arthur learns that if you want to have the chance of living the right life, you need to make the right choices.

Notes:
Book by Julian Fellowes; New Music & Lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe; Original Songs by David Heneker; Co-Created by Cameron Mackintosh. Based on the H.G. Wells novel Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul and the original musical by Beverley Cross and David Heneker.

Moll Flanders

Moll Flanders
Daniel Defoe's famous eighteenth-century novel about a girl born in Newgate Gaol: "Twelve Year a Whore, Five Times a Wife (whereof once to her own Brother), Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon in Virginia" who"at last grew Riche, liv'd in Honest and died a Penitent" is brought to the stage in this rumbustious musical written by Claire Luckham. the tale of Moll's many fortunes and misfortunes as she travels from Newgate Gaol to Colchester to Virginia to Bath to Liverpool to London and back again is told in a vivid series of deft, funny scenes. Travel, highway robbery, bloodsports, thieving, marriage and sex become Moll's picaresque pastimes as, with unfailing optimism, she seeks security in a world where the odds are stacked against her. the songs have fresh and witty lyrics by Paul Leigh and the music, by George Stiles, uses English folk-tunes - from "Greensleeves"to "Over the Hills and Far Away" - to evoke the period feel.

Notes:
Book by Claire Luckham, lyrics by Paul Leigh, music by George Stiles. Based on the novel by Daniel Defoe

Three Musketeers, The

Three Musketeers, The
Everyone is familiar with the renowned adventures of D'Artagnan and his three fellow musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, as they fight for king and country-with frequent detours involving wine, women and song. the entire panoply of action is captured here with brilliant inventiveness and theatricality: the devious trickery of Cardinal Richelieu and Milady de Winter; the sad plight of the beauteous Constance Bonacieux; attempted assassinations; plots and counterplots; and the final triumph of virtue over the forces of evil. Moving swiftly from scene to scene, with minimal staging required, the play captures all the color and excitement of the original with notable economy, and provides a memorable-and unashamedly romantic-experience for audiences and actors alike.

Notes:
from Alexandre Dumas. Music by George Stiles; book by Peter Raby with Francis Matthews; lyrics by Paul Leigh
