The show that stormed into the finals of Britain’s Got Talent & now a West End smash is back to mark its 20th Anniversary in spectacular style.

A decrepit corpse ridden London, plagued by

Zombies, a city ruled by the undead and climaxing in an awesome flaming apocalypse.

The story twists and turns with grisly murders and sensational shocks – all interwoven with some of the greatest and most bizarre circus acts on earth, sword swallowers, knife throwers, daredevil balancing acts, astounding aerialists, a demon dwarf, a Guinness World Record holding

‘hairculian’ hair hanging beauty, Sinister Sisters, gyrating & fire limboing acrobats & much more.

Performed by an almighty cast with a forked tongue firmly in each cheek and the devil driven rock n’ roll of Dr Haze & ‘The Interceptors from Hell.’

THU 21 MAY, 7.30PM£22.50 PREMIUM SEATS£20

Robert C Kelly and Red Brick Road Productions.

The loveable Maggie Muff is back with a bang in the highly anticipated sequel to '51 Shades of Maggie'.

The dust has settled in the estate after the shenanigans of Maggie's last adventure and now she and her idiot sidekick, Big Sally-Ann, are planning a birthday party in the pub.

Big Sally-Ann's dream is to dance to the last dance from "Dirty Dancing" at the party - but she can't find her rhythm, or a dress, or a swimsuit that fits!

And as if that's not enough, big Igor 'the dogger' gets

lifted and deported.Maggie comes to the rescue, but in her world things don't always run as smoothly as planned.

Join Maggie and chums for tales of a front wedgie, being caught short in Zumba, and a friendship that's tested to the limit.

This one-woman show will have you crying with laughter and you really will have 'The Time of Your Life'!

AGE SUITABILITY: Please note due to the strong language and themes of an adult nature, this show is deemed unsuitable for anyone under the age of 16.
