dazzling staging are by the multi award-winning Paul Kieve

Warchus. With a score by rock legends and grammy award winners,

Dave Stewart (eurythmics) and glen Ballard (Michael Jackson

and Alanis Morrisette), and featuring the unforgettable

Unchained Melody, Ghost is a rollercoaster ride of romance

and comedy with dazzling state-of-the-art staging.

The Seagull

Sat 6 April, 7.45pm £12

This new adaptation relocates the action to the roaring 1920s.

The Bright Young Things have changed the mood in town fuelled

by the boom of jazz, fashion and the arts, but on an estate in the

country there is only a lake, and the people around it burn for

something more.

Halbwelt

KulturWed 17-Sat 20 April, 7.45pm £10

A new musical cabaret which presents snapshot vignettes of six

highly influential Weimar Republic women, Halbwelt Kultur is set

against the sound of the period’s finest songs and the backdrop

of the rise of World War II. Join our seven beautiful showgirls and

our live jazz band for an evening of authentic Weimar decadence,

pulchritude, pomp and splendour.

The Mermaid

of Zennor

Wed 15-Sat 18 May, 7.45pm £10

A child with see-through skin and hair that never dries is

discovered in a rock pool on the Cornish coast. Taken in by a

young couple the girl is fascinated by the sea and on a stormy night

she asks her mother to recount one of her many tales. Thrown into

her favourite story, ‘The Mermaid of Zennor’, we embark on a mysterious

voyage filled with mermaids and sea monsters, wandering curses and

soul cages. A story of betrayal, belonging and ultimately love.
