STARS

Derek Jacobi takes on one of Shakespeare’s greatest roles in a major new production from director Michael Grandage and the creative team behind six-time Tony Award-winning Red. Cast includes Gina McKee and Ron Cook.

‘Who is it that can tell me who I am?’

An ageing monarch. A kingdom divided. A child’s love rejected. As Lear’s world descends into chaos, all that he once believed is brought into question.

One of the greatest works in western literature, King Lear explores the very nature of human existence: love and duty, power and loss, good and evil.

The Donmar Warehouse has a reputation as one of the UK’s leading producing theatres – with its productions having received 35 Olivier Awards, 23 Critics’ Circle Awards, 21 Evening Standard Awards, two South Bank Awards and 20 Tony Awards from ten Broadway productions.

Contemporary performance and traditional Moroccan acrobatics, this show is a witty and highly skilled evocation of the energy, joy and urgency of life in Tangiers.

The Medina, the old quarter, where it’s ten to a house, and 100 to the narrowest street. Shout or you won’t be heard; push to the front or never be seen. The city is unruly, chaotic, but beneath the clamour are the whispers of its other life. In the maze-like streets and along the rooftops figures move on secret agendas. What, or who, is in the bag?

Chouf Ouchouf is the latest collaboration between Groupe Acrobatique de Tangier and Swiss artists Zimmermann and de Perrot. With live music and a set that floats apart and reassembles to represent the many faces of a bewildering and exciting landscape, the performers go in search of the city’s beating heart.

Suitable for ages seven and over.

The Counterfeit Stones celebrate their 20th anniversary with yet another wheeze, “Exhale On Main Street”. Their skillfully mixed cocktail of classic hits, retro costume and humour continues to intoxicate young and old alike - 100% proof that a good shot always hits the target. This hooky masterpiece, hilariously “mockumenting” the history of the Rolling Stones from 1962, will take you back if you were there; or make you wish you were, if you weren’t.

Why pay a fortune to see originals as ants in a mega-dome, when for a fraction of the price you can smell the sweat of faking brilliance?

It’s phony rock ‘n’ roll but a real bargain.

Dennis Locorriere Alone Again 2011 DATE Wed 22 Jun, 7.30pm

Dennis Locorriere has a voice which is immediately recognised the world over but his own story is now so much more than Dr Hook.

His contemporary achievements now feature two critically acclaimed Solo CD releases and this tour sees the release of three brand new projects, the first being the first publication of Whatever’s Burning Now, a Book of his Poetry & Cartoons and a Live DVD filmed at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall whilst on tour with his band last year following the release of his third solo CD entitled Post Cool.

The current show sees Dennis performing Solo again and as ever will feature up to date new material alongside his classic catalogue – a must for music devotees.

“The greatest Musical Of The Decade” International Herald Tribune

“Devastating. A Masterpiece. If You Haven’t Seen It go, If You Have, go Again” News of the World

Written by Willy Russell, the legendary Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with tragic consequences. The superb score includes Bright new Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s not True.

Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi-award winning Blood Brothers, and Bill Kenwright’s production, having recently celebrated its 21st phenomenal year in London, continues to enjoy standing ovations at every devastating performance. No wonder Blood Brothers is now ‘The musical for all time’.
