From the pen of Francis Durbridge, the master of thriller writing, comes this ingenious play which has more than it fair share of blind alleys. Murder and mystery abound. Initially the plot seems to follow a familiar pattern but all is not what is seems. There are so many possible suspects and motives that the truth escapes us all. If you like a good thriller. This is one for you.

When you’re the Emperor of Europe (or, at least, most of Europe) the main problem seems to be boredom. So, what does a Holy Roman Emperor do? He goes into battle, noisily looting and pillaging. But his son, Pippin, is sure there must be some better way – maybe raising a family, growing a garden, spreading a little happiness. Stephen Schwartz’s “magic” musical followed on from his great success with “Godspell” , and won all the major Broadway awards! Lovely ballads, gentle soft-rock and soft-shoe, a tuneful glorious musical treat for all the family – from the same time that brought you last year’s enormously successful youth version of “Les Miserables”.

Based on Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado, this is a show that really deserves to be called ‘Hot’. Set in a 1940’s America teeming with gangsters and their molls, nightclubs and their music, cops and their robbers ‘Hot Mikado’ is a hilarious updating of a truly perennial classic. Sullivan’s glorious music has been transformed into a score recreating the swinging sounds of Harlem featuring blues, swing, gospel and Andrews Sisteresque showstoppers. Whilst Gilbert’s lyrics remain as witty, irreverent and calculatedly confusing as ever. This Mikado has acquired a new sound, new look and new life but still remains true to the heart, humour and soul of the original. For lovers of musical theatre everywhere, Hot Mikado is so hot – it’s cool!
