One of the most successful British screen

comedies of all time, which took the UK box

office by storm, can now be seen live on stage

in this brand-new production of the Broadway

and West End smash-hit. The musical, as in the

film, is about six out-of-work steel workers who

find courage and determination which takes

them to extraordinary lengths to earn some

money. All the characters, laughter and

tenderness of the film that the whole world

fell in love with are brought to life in this

triumphant stage musical.

The Full Monty is the latest production

from Staffordshire’s Stage Productions,

the company behind the hit Regent Theatre

shows Oliver!, Jesus Christ Superstar,

the lady in the van By aLan BennettSTARRING nIChoLa mcauLIffeAlan Bennett, known for plays including The History Boys and

The Madness Of George III, has a very unusual neighbour parked at

the bottom of his garden in a van. The lady in the van is Miss Shepherd.

She used to drive ambulances in the war, might have been a nun, sells

pencils and pamphlets and has an unexplained aversion to piano music.

She lives in the playwright’s garden and has done for years.

The Lady in the Van stars Nichola McAuliffe one of British theatre’s

most loved actresses. As well as playing Sheila Sabatini in seven series

of ITV’s Surgical Spirit, Nichola won an Olivier Award for Outstanding

Performance by An Actress In A Musical for her role in Kiss Me Kate (RSC).

Directed by Sarah Esdaile, whose recent credits include The Deep Blue

Sea starring Maxine Peake for West yorkshire Playhouse.

Le nozze DI fIGaro (The Marriage of Figaro)

Transferring direct from the 2012 Glyndebourne Festival, a new

production of Mozart’s life-enhancing classic from celebrated

theatre director Michael Grandage, returning to Glyndebourne

following his critically-acclaimed Billy Budd (2010).

For Mozart, constantly chafing at the restrictions imposed by

his aristocratic patrons, the story of servants outwitting their

master had immediate appeal. He responded with music that

is unrivalled in its beauty and characters with depth and

passion, who still ring true.

A classic. A landmark. A legend.

The Mousetrap is famous around the world as being the longest

running show of any kind in the history of theatre - with almost

25,000 performances it’s a play to be proud of. and to celebrate

60 incredible years on stage, it’s going on tour for the first time,

with a star cast to give you a once in a lifetime opportunity

to see this masterpiece here at the regent theatre.

the scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country

house cut off by the snow discover, to their horror, that there

is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be? one by one the

suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the

last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the

motives are finally revealed.

in her own inimitable style, dame Agatha Christie has created

an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly

intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.
