This talented and award-winning company of young people are thrilled to bring this popular musical to Daneside Theatre.

A fairy tale which begins with an enchantress disguised as an old beggar woman arriving at a castle during a storm. She offers a selfish prince an enchanted rose in exchange for shelter. When he scornfully refuses, she transforms him into a beast and his servants into household objects. For the curse to be broken, the prince must learn to love and earn love before the last petal of the enchanted rose falls or he will remain a beast forever. Will Belle, the beautiful young woman whom he imprisons in exchange for her father’s freedom, be the one to break the curse? Sit back and enjoy this magical ‘tale as old as time’.

Suitable for all ages.

Bridget Jones : Mad about the Boy(15)

Bridget Jones : Mad about the Boy(15)
Showtimes
27 Apr 19:00pm

Two-time Academy Award® winner Renée Zellweger returns to the role that established a romantic-comedy heroine for the ages, redefining an entire film genre.

Bridget Jones first blasted onto bookshelves in Helen Fielding’s literary phenomenon Bridget Jones’s Diary, which became a global bestseller and a blockbuster film. Bridget’s ability to triumph despite adversity led her to finally marry top lawyer Mark Darcy and to become the mother of their baby boy. Happiness at last.

But in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bridget is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark was killed on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan. She’s now a single mother to 9-year-old Billy and 4-year-old Mabel, and is stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).

Pressured by her Urban Family —Shazzer, Jude and Tom, her work colleague Miranda, her mother, and her gynecologist Dr. Rawlings (Emma Thompson) — to forge a new path toward life and love, Bridget goes back to work and even tries out the dating apps, where she’s soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man (White Lotus’s Leo Woodall). Now juggling work, home and romance, Bridget grapples with the judgment of the perfect mums at school, worries about Billy as he struggles with the absence of his father, and engages in a series of awkward interactions with her son’s rational-to-a-fault science teacher (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.

Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.

Blackadder The Third: Set during the Regency era, Blackadder serves as the cynical and scheming butler to the dim-witted Prince Regent, George.
Unlike previous series, where Blackadder was a noble or military figure, here he is a servant, constantly attempting to manipulate the foolish prince for his own gain. He is aided (or hindered) by his idiotic and filthy dogsbody, Baldrick. We can assure you that the normal Blackadder sarcastic wit is ever present, as he deals with historical events, absurd schemes, and figures such as the Pitt the Younger and Samuel Johnson.
The production follows Blackadder’s attempts to outwit rivals, get rich, and rise above his lowly status—all while navigating the incompetence of the Prince Regent. However, as with previous instalments, his cunning plans often backfire spectacularly.

Wheelchair bookings are available via Phoenix Theatre Company and Congleton Information Centre(01260 270350)

When Tom and Barbara Good decide to exchange the pressures of the rat race for an alternative, more sustainable way of living, they set about turning their suburban home in Surbiton into a model of self-sufficiency. They grow their own fruit and veg, keep livestock in the garden, make their own clothes, and even generate their own electricity from manure.


It's the good life for them – but not for Margo and Jerry Leadbetter, who live next door, and are desperately trying to maintain the Surbiton status quo.
Tapping into issues that resonate now more than ever, The Good Life is a witty reimagining of a television classic, with a wellyful of laughs that's sure to delight audiences everywhere.
