Wednesday 7th - Saturday 10th September 2005	SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE ROCK’N’ROLL HOP	If you can remember Seeing the Alligator Later, how many Little Girls were sitting in the back seat with Fred and if you ever rocked around the clock, then this is definitely your kind of show. This “new” 1950s musical includes many of the Rock’n’Roll classics as well as the ballads and sob-songs of that wonderful era. The Glorious Fifties -when hair gel was called Brylcreem, we all knew which twin had the Toni, and a “joint” was something you had for Sunday dinner. If you’re too young to remember all this, come along anyway and see how your Mum and Dad used to do it!

Thursday 13th - Saturday 15th October 2005	LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS	For many years the off-beat, musical comedy Little Shop of Horrors has made audiences ‘scream’ with laughter. In this gleefully gruesome musical, based on the 1960 Roger Corman cult classic, Seymour, a poor florist's assistant, allows his craving for fame and fortune to seduce him into playing nursemaid to a man-eating plant. Goings-on surrounding the growing plant's demand for more, more, MORE are accompanied by witty parodies of 60s music. Between bites, the carnivorous Audrey II, named after Seymour's secret love, brings down the house singing rhythm and blues ŕ la Otis Redding or James Brown. This high-energy, exhilaratingly fun musical will leave the audience feeling just like Audrey II between victims - ravenous for more.… an unstoppable hit not to be missed. "A delightfully demented musical comedy."

Thursday 20th - Saturday 22nd October 2005	BEQUEST TO THE NATION	This is probably the only play about Lord Nelson written by a major dramatist.

We see his relationships with his superiors, his family, his wife and above all, his mistress – the larger-than-life Emma Hamilton. What better time to see Sir Terence Rattigan’s passionate, spirited and, above all, human account of one of our greatest national heroes than on the 200^th anniversary of his death at the Battle of Trafalgar?
