Opera Brava present Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro and for Gilbert and Sullivan fans, Illyria present Ruddigore.

The KENT REP Production of Time and Time Again By Alan Ayckbourn Thurs 18th - Sun 21st August Matinee Performance at 2.30pm on Friday 19th August
Kent Rep’s 2016 Hever production is vintage Ayckbourn and surely, one of his funniest. The action centres round ex- teacher Leonard, who despises the suburban life style of his sister and boorish brother-in-law with whom he has lived since he was locked out by his wife. Another of Leonard’s problems is that he finds it difficult to communicate with so called ‘normal’’ people. As a result, poetry quoting Leonard prefers to chat to Bernard, the garden gnome!
When brother-in-law, Graham, brings home his employee, sports-mad Peter, and his attractive fiancée, Joan, who has attracted Graham’s own lecherous interest, it is ‘odd-ball’ Leonard to whom she takes a fancy. From that point “...it was a great show onwards, there ensues an hilarious sequence of incidents (by Kent Rep) that embrace all sorts of sporting and leisure activity such as we loved it...” cricket, football - even draughts. And not forgetting Leonard’s latest wheeze - Pond Dancing!
Altogether, a wonderfully inventive and Bromley Little Theatre presents thought provoking comedy. Brilliant! One Man, Two Guvnors By Richard Bean Thurs 28th - Sat 30th July Matinee Performance at 2.30pm on Friday 29th July
Following the success of Anne Boleyn (2014) and The Pitman Painters (2015), Bromley Little Theatre return to the Festival Theatre with their adaptation of the National Theatre’s internationally acclaimed smash- hit comedy One Man, Two Guvnors.
Richard Bean’s version of Carlo Goldoni’s classic Italian comedy, The Servant of Two Masters , follows the hilarious ups and downs of Frances and his desperate attempts to keep his ‘two guvnors’ apart, it is a glorious celebration of British comedy – a unique, laugh-out-loud mix of satire, songs, slapstick and glittering one-liners.
One Man, Two Guvnors premiered at the National Theatre in 2011, and has since toured the UK and completed a sell-out extended run in the West End. Described as ‘the funniest show on the planet’ don’t miss it at the Festival Theatre this summer! “....I am writing to say what a magnificent evening’s entertainment it was...

ILLYRIA present Ruddigore by Gilbert & Sullivan Fri 12th & Sat 13th August - Reserved Covered - £23 Following the runaway popularity of their previous G&S productions, Illyria celebrates its quarter century with another romantic summer opera to leave you with a haunting song in your heart. This G&S production is a glorious all-out spoof of both melodrama and the classic haunted-house story. Robin Oakapple, a young farmer loves Rose Maybud but his secret is that he is really Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, the rightful Baronet of Ruddigore in disguise. These Baronets are cursed and have to commit a crime every day or die an agonising death. When an army of long-dead ancestors emerge from dusty portraits to demand Robin/Ruthven’s death might there be some kind of loophole by which he can dodge the terms of the curse and marry the girl of his dreams? Ruddigore gets the complete Illyria treatment, faithfully performed by a reduced cast and accompanied by a Musical Director on keyboard. Despite the reduction in scale not a single word from WS Gilbert's libretto is cut, nor a single note or harmony from Sir Arthur Sullivan's score unsung.
“…It was just brilliant, we laughed all the way through as well as enjoying the vocals …”
