Frank Vickery's
A Kiss on the Bottom

Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th at 7:30pm

Tickets £10/£8


Wales's playwriting comic Kaiser Frank Vickery directs his own dramatic conception that is fit to burst with chirpy, cheeky chitchat, forcible friendships and stirring sentiment. An all female cast fertilize Vickery's lyrical soil, alighting a tale of the brash but endearing Marlene, confined to a hospital ward she shares with a variety of characters draped in social decadence. As time tediously ticks by the three main occupants share laughter and tears as the beauty of friendship and the sting of society's attitude towards the elderly collide.

The Audience

Live via satellite from the National Theatre London

Thursday 13th June at7pm
Tickets £10/£8

‘The Audience is going to be one of the theatrical highlights of 2013.'
Daily Mail

Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of The Audience, broadcast as part of National Theatre Live.

For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses.

The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive.

From young mother to grandmother, these private audiences chart the arc of the second Elizabethan Age. Politicians come and go through the revolving door of electoral politics, while she remains constant, waiting to welcome her next Prime Minister.

Gloriana
Live from The Royal Opera House

Monday 24th June at 7.30pm
Tickets £12/£10

This important new staging of Gloriana marks three major anniversaries: 60 years since the
Queen's Coronation, 60 years since the opera's premiere at the Royal Opera House, and
the centenary of Benjamin Britten's birth.

Britten's portrait of the public and private faces of Elizabeth I is a brilliant depiction of the
Tudor court and the tension between affairs of state and affairs of the heart. Focusing on
Elizabeth's relationship with the young Earl of Essex, Gloriana captures the dichotomy
between the public image of the Virgin Queen and her seething personal feelings – a
familiar dichotomy in these days of celebrity-worship and media scrutiny.

Award-winning director Richard Jones (Il trittico, Anna Nicole) directs a Gloriana for our
time, framing the depiction of the 16th-century Queen in a setting that re-creates the
excitement of our own Queen's Coronation year. A superlative British cast brings to life
this under-appreciated gem, a unique tribute both to the nation's monarch and to its
greatest opera composer.
