 The Corn Exchange presents:
Here be Monsters
Rejects Revenge Theatre Company
Corn Exchange, Newbury
Powered by steam. Steered by guesswork. Driven by idiots. What could possibly go wrong? Treading, boldly, in the footsteps of Jules Verne, H.G.Wells and Laika the dog the Rejects take you on a journey to the centre of the universe. Join the crew of the world's first steam powered space craft as it leaves this vale of tears and heads, unfeasibly, to Paradise.
Rejects Revenge is one of the country's top theatre companies, and 'Monsters...' is their 14th national touring show. Be prepared for film, music, sight gags, silliness and asteroid belts as they launch, literally, into uncharted territory.
"Razor-sharp script and exceptionally funny performances make for a comic production that is Pythonesque in its hilarity" Edinburgh Evening News on The Steppe Brothers

 The Watermill presents:
Merrily we roll along
The Watermill Theatre, Bagnor, Newbury
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by George Furth
Direction and Musical Staging by John Doyle
Musical Supervisor and Musical Arrangements
by Cathy Jayes
Designed by Liz Ascroft
Sound Designed by Gary Dixon
On a roof top in West Side, Manhattan, three friends watch as Sputnik flashes across the sky heralding the dawn of a new era. With all the idealism and exuberance of youth, they look forward to a promising future - “Our Time”.
Twenty five years later life and frustrated ambition have taken their toll. In Bel Air, California, Charley, Frank and Mary reflect on their life journey and the changing face of friendship. As the cynicism of middle age is stripped away, they remember how things used to be: “Our dreams coming true, Me and you, pal, Me and you!”
"It is almost 2 years since Jill Fraser asked me if I would do one more musical at The Watermill. I promised I would. Much has changed, of course, but I wanted to keep my promise. I thought long and hard about a musical that would reflect all Jill may have wanted to say and how it could be said. So, with the blessing of writers Sondheim and Furth, this poignant and funny musical, is coming to The Watermill.”
Director, John Doyle
