Congleton Players Present
To say the play is a farcical comedy is an understatement, as time and time again in typical Bennett style he takes us through maze of mistaken identity, adding layer upon layer of comedy genius.
Fast, funny, relentless laughter from beginning to end , as Arthur Wicksteed says at the close “He who lusts last lasts longest”

Eaton Bank Academy is proud to present, 'Fame, The Musical'.
Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts in the early 1980s, 'Fame', is the bittersweet, but ultimately inspiring, story of a diverse group for students who commit to four years of gruelling artistic and academic work. With candour, humour and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today. This is the musical that inspired new generations to don leg warmers and leotards, leap on top of taxis and light up the sky like a flame.

This seven-piece tribute band, based in Oldham, has been thrilling audiences all over the northwest with their engaging and energetic performance celebrating the magical music of Pink Floyd. They have been especially praised for the accuracy of their performance based on the studio versions of music spanning the entire output of the Floyd from early days, with firm favourites Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall particularly featured.
The music is enhanced by a fabulous light-show including Floyd's distinctive circular screen. Lead by front-man Russell’s “incredibly accurate” vocal, supported by Andrea’s astonishing vocals especially on Great Gig, attention to detail is the bye-word for Luke (keyboards and effects), drummer Lee, Jack on bass, and Harry (guitar and sax), while Alan was described as “blowing the crowd away with his jaw-dropping solo that the audience were still gasping and chattering about as they left the theatre” (QuaysNews)

Presented by Trinity Operatic Society
Trinity Amateur Operatic Society’s next production is the award-winning hit musical ‘Rock of Ages’.
a seriously silly, absurdly enjoyable arena-rock musical
Rock of Ages takes you back to the times of
big bands, big egos, big guitar solos & even bigger hair! This
multi Tony Award – nominated Broadway musical features the hits of bands
including Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister,
Starship & many others…
It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party
has been raging hard. Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the
Sunset Strips last legendary venues, The Bourbon Room. Amidst the
madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to
take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl
Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the
rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when German developers sweep
into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another
capitalist strip mall.
Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves –
before it’s too late? Only the music of hit rock bands Styx, Whitesnake,
Foreigner, Poison, and more hold the answer.
For anyone whose youth coincided with the time period in
question, the siren call of those screaming guitars and singalong
choruses may be impossible to resist
Show dates: 13th – 18th March 2017 at the Daneside Theatre, Congleton.

The climax arrives on Saturday night when his patient wife Virginia has organised a dinner party for not only the family, but neighbour Duff & his wife Bridget who also invites her ‘Society Chiropodist’, the smooth-talking Hugh Bedales.
Described as “comedy with teeth”, Michael Palin has given much to laugh at but it’s also a play with an element of black humour as well as surprising revelations of emotion. It provides straight comedic entertainment but also has a poignancy that gives the script some depth.

The Witches
By Roald Dahl
Adapted by David Wood
From Thursday 11TH – Saturday 13TH May 2017
Saturday matinee 13TH May
Evening performances 7.30PM – Saturday matinee 2.30PM
This is a faithful adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic story in which Boy and his Grandmother defeat the Grand High Witch and her followers, who are holding a Conference in an English seaside hotel. During the struggle, Boy gets turned into a mouse.
The Witches are nothing like the ones who wear pointed hats and fly on broomsticks – they look very much like ordinary women, which helps their deception. Humour is provided by the vulgar Jenkins family, whose son, Bruno, also becomes a mouse.

It’s the final days of Britain’s colonial involvement in India and Lord Mountbatten is about to step down as Viceroy. But is the country ready to govern itself?
It’s 1947 and colonial Britain is coming to an end – particularly in India – where the last Viceroy is about to step down…
Lord Mountbatten (Hugh Bonneville) and his wife Edwina (Gillian Anderson) are to hand the ruling of India back to its people, but is the country ready to rule itself once again?
Traditionally living upstairs at the home of the former English rulers of India, some 500 servants worked downstairs. Inviting people of Eastern heritage around the dinner table, Edwina is determined to change the very culture of how the English and Indians bond with one another.
However, such a smooth transition doesn’t echo throughout the nation, with people of all different religions and backgrounds beginning to clash.
Will the good intentions of the Mountbattens shine through the emerging chaos and provide India with a foundation to govern itself? Or will the country tear herself apart?
Starring the familiar faces of Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville and Gillian Anderson (The X Files: I Want to Believe) as Lord and Edwina Mountbatten, Viceroy’s House also features Michael Gambon (The Harry Potter series) as General Hastings Ismay.

After a five year hiatus, Manchester theatre company Skint productions are re-ignited, refreshed and reformed, now presenting a new play by Skint's creative director Karlton Parris, set upon the very eve of Mary Shelley's death, the iconic author of Frankenstein.
In the final hours of this extraordinary woman's life, she is in the grip of madness with visitations from the dead, husband Percy Shelley, their lover, Lord Byron poet John Keats and arch literary rival John William Polidori, author of the first know vampire fiction, whilst recalling her warm affection for step sister Claire Clairmont. Most heartbreaking of all, she sees herself as the young girl who penned the world's most read gothic horror novel and, in a truly scary twist, the monster she created. Expect tension galore in this darkly brooding, delightfully twisted, surprisingly funny, Victorian penny dreadful.
Beautiful Monster arrives at the Daneside Theatre for one night only en-route to opening in New York in September.
