We have some great shows on stage for you, including the returns of Hotbuckle with their interpretation of Wuthering Heights and Our Star with Tapley House; and, new to our stage, Something for the Weekend Theatre Company with their hit from the Edinburgh Fringe The Man on the Moor. LADS will be reviving the 1950s musical Salad Days and later in the summer will be staging The Ladykillers by Graham Lineham. In July, and in conjunction with Nottingham’s Lakeside Arts and The Arts Council, we are one of the few venues in the country to be hosting a special free performance of The Storm Officer by Matt Black. And then later in the season, we bring you the return of the hugely popular Pantaloons with As You Like It, the talented annual summer youth production of The Wind in the Willows and Worcester Rep’s Where is Mrs Christie?

Musical offerings include the Film Orchestra Concert Band, Budapest Café Orchestra, Remi Harris Trio and later in the season the Ledbury Community Brass Band’s popular Last Night of the Proms.

Add to this our usual array of live screenings including An American in Paris, Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet, some exciting stuff from Ledbury Poetry Festival and a brilliant selection of films, and we think that you will agree that we have a pretty full programme for you select from.

MaNoNLive Screening from The Royal Ballet

Thurs 3 May I 7.15pm I £15*

Kenneth MacMillan’s source for Manon was the 18th-century French novel already adapted for opera by Massenet and Puccini. The premiere was given on 7 March 1974, with the lead roles danced by Antoinette Sibley and Anthony Dowell. The ballet quickly became a staple of The Royal Ballet’s repertory, and a touchstone of adult, dramatic dance.

MacMillan found new sympathy with the capricious Manon and her struggle to escape poverty. Designs by his regular collaborator Nicholas Georgiadis reflect this, depicting a world of lavish splendour polluted by miserable destitution. MacMillan’s spectacular ensemble scenes for the whole Company create vivid, complex portraits of the distinct societies of Paris and New Orleans. But it is Manon and Des Grieux’s impassioned pas de deux – recalling the intensity of MacMillan’s earlier Romeo and Juliet – that drive this tragic story, and make Manon one of MacMillan’s most powerful dramas.

wutHeriNG HeiGHtsPresented by Hotbuckle Theatre Company

Sat 2 June I 8pm I £12*

Hotbuckle are back in Ledbury to portray another classic, with Emily Jane Brontë’s only novel, widely considered one of the greatest works of fiction ever written.

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine’s father. After Mr Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine’s brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries.

With live music, multiple characterisation, humour and inventiveness this story is as enjoyably engaging as it should be in the reliable hands of Hotbuckle!

tHe MaN oN tHe MoorSomething for the Weekend Theatre Company

Sat 26 May I 8pm I £12*

A huge hit from The Edinburgh Fringe!

On 12th December 2015, an elderly looking gentleman was found dead on Saddleworth Moor. He was carrying no ID. In his pockets were just £130 in cash and return train tickets from London from the previous day.

Despite a national campaign, he remained unidentified. He appeared to have no family, no friends, and no home. He didn’t even have a name. Who was this man? Why did he seemingly travel 200 miles to die? And why did nobody seem to miss him?

Forty different people reached out to claim ‘the man on the moor’ as their missing husband, father or brother. These people are ‘the left behind’. Those who pick up the pieces when someone they love leaves and simply never comes home again. This is their story.

saLad daysPresented by LADS

Wed 13 - Sat 16 June I 7.30pm I £10*Written by Julian Slade and Dorothy Reynolds in 1954 as a summer musical for The Bristol Old Vic: it transferred to the West End, running for 2,283 performances to become the longest-running musical theatre show of its day.

Jane and Timothy meet in a park after their graduation to plan their lives. They agree to get married secretly and decide that Timothy must take the first job that he is offered. A passing tramp offers them £7 a week to look after his mobile piano for a month and they discover that it gives everyone within earshot an irresistible desire to dance.

Timothy’s parents, however, want him to find a proper job with one of his influential uncles and Jane’s mother wants her to marry a wealthy Lord! Infused with post-war optimism and filled with foot-tapping, catchy musical numbers – Oh look at me, Out of Breath, and It’s Easy to Sing, Salad Days is a charming, happy musical which will guarantee that you come out smiling.

Sun 17 June I 2pm I £14*Swan Lake has had a special role in the repertory of The Royal Ballet since 1934. This Season The Royal Ballet creates a new production with additional choreography by Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett. While remaining faithful to the Petipa-Ivanov text, Scarlett will bring fresh eyes to the staging of this classic ballet, in collaboration with his long-term designer John Macfarlane.

Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans while out hunting. When one of the swans turns into a beautiful woman, Odette, he is enraptured. But she is under a spell that holds her captive, allowing her to regain her human form only at night.

The evil spirit Von Rothbart, arbiter of Odette’s curse, disguises his daughter Odile as Odette to trick Siegfried into breaking his vow of love. Fooled, Siegfried declares his love for Odile, and so dooms Odette to suffer under the curse forever.

wiLLiaM Herbert aNd tHe MarcH of waLes: PoLitics aNd Poetry iN tHe wars of tHe rosesMortimer History Society presents a Lecture by Helen Fulton, Professor of Medieval Literature University of Bristol

Thur 21 June I 7.30pmMembers £5 Non-Members £8Tickets only available on-line

The central topic of this talk is the poetic image of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke (c. 1423–1469), who died fighting for Edward IV against the Earl of Warwick and his rebel forces during the Wars of the Roses. This lecture traces the growing enmity between Herbert and Warwick, both of whom were Marcher lords, and touches on the significance of the Mortimer estates on the March of Wales which were vital to Edward’s success. Welsh poets positioned Herbert as a Welshman in opposition to the forces of English treachery, but the politics of his rise and fall were regional rather than national, reflecting the importance of the March in putting first Edward IV and then Henry VII on the throne.

wHere is Mrs cHristie? starring Liz GrandPresented by Worcester Repertory Company

Sat 22 Sept I 8pm I £14*

Agatha Christie was one of the greatest thriller writers of all time and certainly the most prolific. In 1926, she was at the centre of a mystery as perplexing as any of her fiction, a series of events which sparked one of the biggest and most extensive police hunts in history. Her crashed car was discovered in Surrey and the famous author was missing, presumed dead by many, for eleven days. However, she was eventually found at a luxury hotel in Harrogate. She claimed then, and for the rest of the life, that she was suffering from amnesia and remembered nothing. Neither the press nor the police believed her.

Did Agatha Christie lie, and if so why? Did she suffer from amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret involved in this disappearance which was to affect her for the rest of her life? The answer to all these questions will, as in all good thrillers, be revealed!

Based on unbelievable but true events this is a darkly comedic tale of American figure skater Tonya Harding and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived, and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Craig Gillespie’s film is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding’s life and career in all of its unchecked - and checkered - glory.
