Sat 1st Oct Library Theatre Touring Company presents 'The Kingfisher' by William Douglas-Home
A hit in the West End and Broadway!
With echoes of PG Wodehouse, this effervescent romantic comedy takes a light-hearted look at the lives and loves of three fascinating characters.
Reading the obituaries, famous writer Sir Cecil Warburton makes a discovery that has him whistling in the bath! Reggie Townsend has died, widowing ‘Evelyn’ the only woman that Cecil loved...and lost. He arranges to meet Evelyn in his garden where he kissed her years earlier but Cecil’s expectations are foiled as it becomes clear that he hasn’t considered any objections of his bride-to-be.or indeed of his butler Hawkins !…
We are looking forward to another inspired performance by the Library Theatre Touring Company..
Sat 12th Nov An Evening with Mervyn Stutter www.mervynstutter.com/
Making a welcome return appearance, Merv is best known for his comedy shows on Radio 4 and he has performed at the Edinburgh Festival for 27 years.
Like the host of a dinner party, he treats his audience as welcome guests. He chats a bit, tells a few jokes, makes some pithy observations, with lots of clever comedy songs on guitar. He is an accomplished singer and guitarist but what makes his performances so very good is the intelligence and the fun. His sometimes wicked but always affectionate sense of humour brings warmth and joy to an audience that is happy to laugh both at his life and their own.
"Celebrating the trivial and attacking the absurd he gives us a seriously funny show." - The Scotsman
Probably not suitable for children.
