Ben Waters is acknowledged as one of the most exciting boogie woogie piano players of today, his raunchy vocals and exuberant style heavily influenced by the likes of Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis and Fats Domino. Ben is hitting the road with his own Big Band to promote his forthcoming album Hurricane, recorded at the studios of Mr Jools Holland. The band features great boogie woogie sound and upbeat piano playing - uplifting, effervescent and great fun!

Andy Parsons, winner of the 2006 Montreal Comedy Festival The Comedy Showdown, is one of Britain's foremost topical funnymen.

As a lynchpin of BBC 2's Mock The Week and London's infamous Comedy Store Cutting Edge team, he is one of the most prolific performers currently working in the UK today. A regular on radio and television, Andy will be familiar to many listeners as one half of BBC Radio 2's Parsons & Naylor and TV's Q.I.

Hippo World is a real website where a global community of enthusiasts gather to look at hippo pictures and share hippo facts. Visitors are invited to sign the guest book and leave comments. But no one's moderating the guest book...

In this solo show, double Fringe First winner Chris Goode reads a selection of entries from the guest book to reveal an epic international story that has unfolded over a decade through thousands of messages. Returning to New Greenham Arts following the success of Longwave, Chris once again teases a fascinating and funny show from the most unlikely of source material.

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.”
