Old world charm permeates every moment of this bittersweet, wise and gently offbeat musical of life, love and bread! The bickering residents of a small Provencal town at last find peace and contentment in the heavenly bread of the newly arrived baker and his attractive young wife, but when she is lured away by the attentions of a handsome young gigolo, the middle-aged baker loses all zest for life and baking, throwing the community into comedic chaos! Written by Joseph Stein (Fiddler On The Roof) and with music by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin) “The Baker’s Wife” has a rich, romantic, melodic score containing ballads of breathtaking beauty, spirited comic numbers and the showstopping “Meadowlark.” From the team that brought you ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’, ‘Barnum’ and ‘Copacabana’.

“Come on in ahead for yourselves. I'm just in the middle of shooting me Dad”. . . Who knocked 'Mad Padraig's'' cat over on a lonely road on the island of Inishmore? and was it an accident? He'll want to know when he gets back from a stint of torture and chip shop bombing in Northern Island. He loves his cat more than life itself. Martin McDonagh’s wild, satirical black farce on the taboo subjects of Irish paramilitaries, extreme violence, guns and cats, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is at once shocking and farcical, yet devastating in its dissection of The Troubles. Not suitable for children. Contains strong language.

As potent today as when it was first seen in Stratford East in 1963, this brilliant anti-war musical entertainment is a theatrical chronicle of the First World War. The grim reality of the trenches is dramatised with popular songs of the period, including Keep the Home Fires Burning, It's a Long Way to Tipperary and Goodbye-ee. The youthfulness of a talented cast from one of Britain's foremost colleges for the performing arts lends an added poignancy to this vibrant and profoundly moving account of four years in British history that wiped out a generation of young men.

Based on a celebrated comedy by Viennese playwright Johann Nestroy, this rollicking adaptation by Tom Stoppard tells what happens when a crusty old shopkeeper leaves his two bored apprentices, who are desperate to find adventure, in charge of the store. Like Thornton Wilder (in "The Matchmaker") and Jerry Herman (in "Hello Dolly"), Stoppard uses the comic potential of their desire to go 'on the razzle' to maximum effect and, as always, mixes dazzingly witty dialogue with broad farce. This is a spectacular and hilarious period romp through old Vienna presented by Redbridge Theatre Guild in association with WOADS for Redbridge Arts Festival.
All seats £6.75 (Club Members £5.75 if paying a week or more in advance) Students/Senior Citizens £5.00 (except Sat Evening) |
