"PLAY
ON"
by Rick
Abbott
Sharnbrook
Mill Theatre
The
actors are squabbling, the tech goes awry, the author keeps
rewriting the script! A recipe for a hit? Definitely
not, but it is a recipe for sidesplitting belly laughs! Rick
Abbott’s hilarious comedy about the trials and tribulations
of an amateur drama group rehearsing and performing a murder
mystery play illustrates perfectly the old theatrical adage – if
it can go wrong, it does!
If
you like a good laugh, don’t miss it!
at
7.45pm.
Tickets
are from Sharnbrook Post Office in Person or by calling the
Central Box Office

You've heard about
women who marry someone younger; they have a husband, known
these days as a Toy Boy, then add marrying beneath their
station? It s not usually a recipe for a
long lasting relationship, is it? And what happens when the
widower realises he s not going to get
what he feels to be rightfully his - well that will surprise
you!!

"Man
of La Mancha"
Music: Mitch Leigh, Lyrics:
Joe Darion
from the book by
Dale Wasserman
Sharnbrook
Mill Theatre
Another of the great theatrical successes!
The author Cervantes, imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition,
defends himself before a self-appointed prisoners’ court
by presenting his tale of Don Quixote, a dying old man whose ‘Impossible
Dream’ takes over his mind. The songs will live in your
thoughts and soul and Don Quixote’s dream will become
your dream, his adventures your adventures.
Come along
and ‘Dream The Impossible Dream’ with
Don Quixote!
at
7.45pm.
Tickets
are from Sharnbrook Post Office in Person or by calling the
Central Box Office

"Round
and Round the Garden"
by
Alan Ayckbourn
Sharnbrook
Mill Theatre
Although
this is only one third of Alan Ayckbourn’s renowned
trilogy, ‘The Norman Conquests’, it is a self-contained
play, the al fresco doings of the three couples involved forming
a wildly funny, and at times poignant, story in themselves. Ruth
confuses Tom, Annie gets a glimpse of Norman’s pyjamas,
Sarah disapproves of Reg’s outdoor sports and everyone
gets to roll in the grass!
One of
the most hilarious offerings from the pen of the playwright
dubbed “the comic laureate of Britain’s middle
class.”
at
7.45pm.
Tickets
are from Sharnbrook Post Office in Person or by calling the
Central Box Office

| 12th to 20th Nov |
"Les
Miserables"

Sharnbrook Mill Theatre
“ One

The epic story of Jean Valjean, a petty thief sentenced to 19
years hard-labour, who violates his parole and becomes
a successful business man, mayor of a small town and a loving, adoptive
father. Pursued by the relentless Inspector Javert, Valjean finally achieves
redemption during a bloody student uprising in 1830’s
Paris.
This edition of the show is performed entirely by students
of 19 years or under.
at
7.45pm.
