Many us remember "the film," Cliff Richard and The Shadows well enough to sing along, word-perfect, with this feel-good interpretation of the original story. Early booking recommended

THE CRUCIBLE
One of the most powerful pieces of 20th century theatre, the tale finds parallels in McCarthyism, portraying the effects of religious and political repression by governments and institutions and the use of fear as a means by which to influence and control society. Its resonance is not outdated, by any means.
BLONDE BOMBSHELLS OF 1943
Based on the BAFTA winning film starring Judi Dench. This spirited account of the fortunes of a glamorous war-time band includes stunning live vocal performances of hits by Glen Miller, The Andrews Sisters, George Formby, Fats Waller and more.
