David Copperfield: Review
Fast-moving epic of Dickensian delights   ANY play described by its director as an "epic" will probably be a weighty evening's entertainment. But to Lindley Players director Peter Hunt's credit, this production feels nowhere near its three-hour length.

     Baroque Theatre Company Tour present
    Great Expectations
    by Hugh Leonard
    Adapted from the novel by Charles Dickens

    Baroque Theatre Company presents “Great Expectations”, a stunning theatrical experience, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens’ birth.

    Young Philip Pirrip, known as “Pip”, helps the escaped convict Abel Magwitch and sets in motion a train of events that will affect his entire young life. Taken under the wing of the eccentric Miss Havisham, Pip falls in love with her ward, the chilly Estella, and determines to be a gentleman. Receiving money from a mysterious source, and expecting more, Pip renounces his humble past life and feels sure he will achieve his aim – and then the true identity of his benefactor is revealed and a painful process of moral education begins for Pip.

    C.Smith, Eastern Daily Press:

    "Baroque Theatre Company distils Charles Dickens' story and presents its essence in unforgettable personalities...."

    "....a daring but successful piece of production...."

    "Adam Morley's direction is vivid and fast moving...."

    I.Lockett, Clonter Opera Theatre:

    “Great Expectations were certainly met with the Baroque Theatre Company’s triumphant first visit to Clonter. People travelled far and wide on the pilgrimage to Dickens.”

    “….it knocked the socks of the television adaptation!”

    “….a very clever sensitive stage adaptation by Hugh Leonard”

    “Dickens’ lovers book yourselves a date with Baroque Theatre Company this very day.”

  • Rock Bottom Poster

    Artyzan Productions present
    Rock Bottom

    inspired by "The Full Monty"

     

    From the people that brought you Bent & Twelfth Night last Summer, Artyzan Productions returns to the Whitstable Playhouse Theatre this May with Rock Bottom!

      

    This brand new production, grounded in soul music, follows the story of six bankers made redundant from Northern Rock at the start of the economic crisis. Four years later and strapped for cash, Rob and Mark decide on a money spinner by forming a male striptease act.

      

    Through their personal struggles with father’s rights, homosexuality, growing old and a lack of confidence, they eventually find self-acceptance in Velcro trousers and leather thongs.

     

    Will the guys leave their hats on or go the full monty?

     

     Recommended Audience Age 14+

    Their fortunes are set to change when Linda finds tickets to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot – the year it is relocated to York. A chance to do themselves up and head off to the races for a dink, a flirt and a flutter – and maybe hit the jackpot!
