Set in the 1970's, The Prisoner of Second Avenue is a black comedy depicting a New York couple, Mel (Jeff Goldblum) and Edna Edison (Mercedes Ruehl), enduring the trials and tribulations of city life. Mel is made redundant and the stress of an economic crisis and urban life pushes him into having a nervous breakdown. The family gathers to offer support, with Edna stoically bearing the burden of his disintegration and self-pity.

The Prisoner of Second Avenue originally premiered on Broadway in 1971, starring Peter Falk and Lee Grant, where it ran for two years and received a Tony Award nomination. It was subsequently made into a film in 1975, starring Jack Lemmon and Anne Bankcroft.

Set in 1908 in Clecklewyke in the heart of Northern England, three well-to-do West Yorkshire couples - the Parkers, Soppitts and Helliwells - married on the same day, at the same church, and by the same vicar, join to celebrate 25 years of blissful matrimony.
Disaster strikes with the shocking revelation that the vicar who married them wasn’t actually licensed – these pillars of the church and the community, aren’t as respectably married as they thought they were!
Home truths fly like confetti, an old flame returns and other uninvited guests start to call. With a photographer from the local paper due to arrive, a missing housekeeper and a doorbell that wont stop ringing, can the three couples keep a lid on their embarrassing secret or will the neighbours find out, destroying their standing in the community.
The production stars Olivier Award Nominated Rosemary Ashe (Witches of Eastwick, Phantom of the Opera), Lynda Baron (Open All Hours, Fat Friends), Susie Blake (Coronation Street, Victoria Wood), Michele Dotrice (Some Mothers Do Have ‘Em), David Horovitch (Bedroom Farce, Taking Sides & Collaboration), Roy Hudd (Coronation Street, BBC Radio 2), Sam Kelly (‘Allo ‘Allo), Olivier Award winning Maureen Lipman (A Little Night Music, Glorious) and Simon Rouse (The Bill).

***** Brilliantly captured…impeccably paced, handsomely staged production is a treat and Gambon’s Krapp is beyond reproach’ - Metro

Following his outstanding performances in Endgame & Eh Joe, Michael Gambon returns to the West End Stage in Beckett’s classic one-man show, Krapp’s Last Tape.

Gambon received huge acclaim following his performance in the role of Krapp at the Gate Theatre Dublin earlier this year.

Every year on his birthday self-absorbed Krapp sits down to record his memories from the past year. But on his 69th birthday he takes a step further into the past. Listening to his old recordings he soon stumbles upon a single tender memory from long ago that sparks his growing regret as he starts to question whether his present lives up to his
past.

Michael Ball makes his West End debut as a producer after falling in love with the enchanting new British musical, Love Story.
Now following a critically acclaimed sell-out season at the Chichester Festival Theatre, Love Story transfers to the West End for a limited season from 27 November 2010 – 26 February 2011.
Inspired by Erich Segal’s best-selling iconic novel and one of the most romantic films of all time, this life-affirming musical is scored by the Emmy and BAFTA award winning composer Howard Goodall with lyrics by Stephen Clarke.
Oliver Barrett IV went to Harvard and Jenny Cavilleri to Radcliffe. He was rich, she was poor. He was sporty, she played music. But they fell in love. This is their story. A celebration of love and life, Love Story will win your heart. And it might just break it.

Critically-acclaimed director Rufus Norris leads two of the nation’s best-loved and most respected actors in Clifford Odets’ glamorous masterpiece THE COUNTRY GIRL: an insight into the turbulent lives of a married couple whose relationship is tested to the limit when a shot at stardom exposes their deep-rooted flaws.

Martin Shaw and Jenny Seagrove are reunited in the roles played by Morgan Freeman and Frances McDormand on Broadway in 2008, and by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly in the multi-Oscar winning 1954 film.
Martin Shaw’s most recent stage appearance was in the West End triumph A Man for All Seasons, ‘Martin Shaw is magnificent’ (Daily Express). Best known for his starring roles in George Gently and the BAFTA award winning Judge John Deed, he will be joined by his co-star from that hugely popular series, Jenny Seagrove.
Seagrove’s extensive theatre credits have seen her play lead roles in almost every West End playhouse; her most recent West End performance was in Peter Hall’s critically-acclaimed production of  Alan Ayckbourn’s Bedroom Farce, which followed her appearance in A Daughter’s A Daughter, described as ‘the finest performance of her career’ (Daily Telegraph).

Alison Steadman to star in Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit in the West End next year.

Produced by the Theatre Royal Bath, the new version will be directed by Thea Sharrock. Her latest production is Terence Rattigan’s After the Dance.

Blithe Spirit  is scheduled to run from March 2 to June 18, 2011 with a press night on March 9 in the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue.

Alison Steadman will play the clairvoyant in the play, in which a couple conjure up the ghost of the husband’s first wife.

EIGHT WEEKS ONLY!

Following its highly successful UK tour, The Secret of Sherlock Holmes transfers to the West End for a
strictly limited 8 WEEK season.

This truly is a must see for all crime-busters and lovers of literary whodunnits.

The Secret of Sherlock Holmes is an enticing 90 minute psychological exploration of the inner
torments of Baker Street’s most famous resident. Jeremy Paul’s beautiful script gives a haunting
insight into the complexities of one of literature’s most celebrated minds.

Sherlock Holmes’s friendship with Dr Watson embraces both his driving ambition and his unspoken
need for human contact. Following Holmes’s seemingly fatal encounter with his nemesis Moriarty, at
the Reichenback Falls, Watson finds his loyalty and friendship tested to the very limit, while the great
man is forced to confront his hidden demons.
Only until 11th September.

‘****’ whatsonstage.com

‘a beautifully textured exploration of the psychological torment that drives the man, and the
complexities of his relationship with his closest companion’

‘This is an enticing and irresistible glimpse into the private world of fiction’s most bohemian of
bachelors ...a rich, dark and entirely psychological adventure’
The British Theatre Guide

‘Arthur Conan Doyle’s most celebrated literary creation - Sherlock Holmes steps out from the dusty
pages inJeremy Paul’s jewel of a play... After all, it’s elementary, my dear Watson’
Wandsworth Guardian

'Egan is the epitome of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation'
Bristol Evening Post

"Sooner or later, we shall all have to pay for what we do…No one should be entirely judged by their past."

The brilliance of Oscar Wilde’s AN IDEAL HUSBAND is that it is a stylish critique of politicians and social morality, whilst leaving the audience convinced they have seen uplifting and light-hearted entertainment.

Sir Robert Chiltern (Alexander Hanson) is a successful Government minister, well-off and with a loving wife (Rachael Stirling). All this is threatened when Mrs Cheveley (Samantha Bond) appears in London with damning evidence of a past misdeed. Sir Robert turns for help to his friend Lord Goring (Elliot Cowan), an apparently idle philanderer and the despair of his family. For the next 48 hours all their lives will be turned upside down.

A full afternoon of horse racing at Newmarket's famous Champions' Meeting.

Tickets to the Friday race day are available separately.

The atmosphere will crackle, the thunder of hooves will deafen, the roar of the crowd as the horses close in on the winning line will set your pulse racing and the applause that greats the latest champion's return to the winner's enclosure will reverberate around the magnificent Millennium Grandstand…

Champions are crowned in every sport and in horseracing it happens more frequently than anywhere else at Newmarket, the historic Home of Racing, where many of the greatest racehorses ever to grace the turf have staked their claim to immortality.

And if you had to pick just one day to see a new champion emerge or an existing one enhance his claims to greatness, then it simply has to be Champions' Day.

This is the day that has it all.  With six Group races - the most important races in the international calendar - plus the totesport.com Cesarewitch Handicap and a million pounds in prize money, it is the highest class raceday in the British flat racing calendar.  What a way to celebrate autumn at the Home of Racing!

The Emirates Airline Champion Stakes, one of two sizzling Group 1 contests on the day, was won in 2009 by the Henry Cecil-trained Twice Over, who went on to finish a fine third to Zenyatta in the Breeders' Cup Classic, while in 2008 the year's top-rated three-year-old, New Approach, triumphed in devastating fashion. 

French stars Literato and Pride took the previous two runnings and in 2010 it is sure to attract once again some of Europe's middle distance superstars chasing the last big prize in the European season.  It is a race that really matters.

The Jumeirah Dewhurst Stakes is the other Group 1 centrepiece and is invariably contested by the most promising juvenile racehorses, looking to secure the crown of Europe's champion two-year-old.

The winner often winters as the favourite for the following year’s opening Classic, the stanjames.com 2000 Guineas, staged back at the Rowley Mile. In the past, such greats as The Minstrel, El Gran Senor, Zafonic and Rock Of Gibraltar have all triumphed in the Dewhurst Stakes on a day when there is always a sense of history in the making.

There is a stunning supporting card, too. For example, the growing stature of the Lotus Evora Rockfel Stakes is illustrated by the fact that its respective 2005 and 2006 winners, Speciosa and Finsceal Beo, came back to the Course of Champions the next year to race to glory in the Stan James-sponsored 1000 Guineas. 

Come and celebrate racing’s heroes and champions at Newmarket’s autumn showpiece. Don't miss Champions’ Day!  The two-day Champions’ Meeting gets under way on Friday 15th October when the Group 3 Darley Stakes is the highlight, accompanied by two Listed races.

MICHELLE OBAMA VISITS MADAME TUSSAUDS LONDON
TO CELEBRATE BARACK'S FIRST YEAR AS PRESIDENT

19th January 2010 - Michelle Obama joined her husband at Madame Tussauds London today to mark the first anniversary of his inauguration as US President.  The wax figure of the First Lady will be at Madame Tussauds for a limited period only, featuring alongside Mr Obama’s figure which was unveiled at the world famous attraction exactly one year ago.
 
Guests will have the opportunity to meet America’s first couple in a painstaking recreation of the legendary Oval Office but with a touch of domesticity – a selection of family photographs showing some of the Obamas key moments from their first 12 months in the White House will adorn the iconic Resolute desk.  Michelle lives up to her fashion icon status in a stylish sleeveless red dress with black belt and pearl necklace, while President Obama is in a typical informal and relaxed pose, smiling with arms casually folded, dressed in a tailored suit. 
 
Liz Edwards, PR Manager for Madame Tussauds London, said:  “We are thrilled that Michelle is joining Barack in the attraction to celebrate an historic year in office.  President Obama is one of our most popular figures and guests particularly enjoy being able to step into the Oval Office.  Now they get to meet not just Mr President but the Mrs too, and we’re sure it will be a big hit.”
 
The First Lady will be in residence in London until the end of February, when the stunningly life like wax figure will make its way to its permanent home, Madame Tussauds’ latest new attraction, opening in Bangkok this summer.
 
And coming up...
 
DAME HELEN MIRREN AWARDED LATEST ACCOLADE –
A PLACE AT MADAME TUSSAUDS LONDON

Madame Tussauds London announced today that it is creating a wax figure of one of Britain’s most celebrated and best loved actresses, Dame Helen Mirren.  The figure will debut at the world famous attraction in April. 
 
Her inclusion will be yet another accolade for the ever youthful Dame, who has won numerous awards in a career spanning five decades, including four Baftas, four Emmys and a Best Actress Oscar in 2007 for The Queen.
 
Mirren is one of the most prolific and versatile performers in the world with a diverse body of work.  Her performance as Tolstoy’s wife Sofya in the forthcoming film The Last Station, has earned her a Best Actress nomination for both the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards taking place later this month.  With other titles including The Debt and The Tempest due for release over the coming months, she is set to continue to enthral audiences in 2010.
 
The actress will look her sophisticated best in a floor length black dress by Asprey which she donated to the attraction.  The gown was originally worn at the ITV3 Crime Thriller Awards and is teamed with black six inch heels.  She has already given a sitting for the Madame Tussauds studios team, where over 300 measurements and a catalogue of reference shots were taken; the figure will take four months to create and will cost £150,000.

Simply Red have announced that they will be performing a number of outdoor concerts in 2010. Tickets are available now!

Simply Red are an English pop band, formed in the mid 1980s.

Simply Red’s roots originate from the notorious 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester. Manchester art student Mick Hucknall was one of the many young music fans present (along with original members of The Fall, Joy Division, The Smiths and Buzzcocks) who was inspired to form a band after witnessing that gig. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators. This band existed for 7 years, with limited releases on local labels, but split in 1984 with only limited local attention and critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

After the demise of The Frantic Elevators, Hucknall linked up with manager Elliot Rashman. By early 1985 Hucknall and Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and began to attract record company attention. Around this time the group adopted the name Simply Red (after Hucknall’s nickname, which denoted hair color, football allegiance to Manchester United and left-wing political affiliation). They signed to Elektra in 1985, with the somewhat changeable line-up of Hucknall, Tony Bowers (bass), Fritz McIntyre (keyboards), Tim Kellett (brass), Sylvan Richardson (guitar) and Chris Joyce (drums). Their first single, released in 1985, was “Money’s Too Tight (To Mention)”, a cover of a soul standard originally recorded by The Valentine Brothers. This single had moderate success, reaching the UK Top 20.

National hunt racing at Carlisle including the Weatherbys Graduation Chase.

Horse racing in the historic border city of Carlisle dates back to at least the 16th Century and each year Carlisle Racecourse holds the Cumberland Plate and Carlisle Bell races, carrying on a tradition which dates back to that era.

Amongst it's innumerable 'claims to fame', Carlisle launched the first operational Tote on British racecourses in 1929 and notably Red Rum won at the Carlisle September meeting prior to each of his Grand National wins.

Progressive upgrading of the facilities has taken place over the years but none as significant as the construction of a brand new 'state-of-the-art' The Edinburgh Woollen Mill Grandstand which opened in October 2002. Race goers can now enjoy superb horse racing from their own private box or in the luxury of the Swifts Restaurant.

Amongst it's innumerable 'claims to fame', Carlisle launched the first operational Tote on British racecourses in 1929 and notably Red Rum won at the Carlisle September meeting prior to each of his Grand National wins.

Progressive upgrading of the facilities has taken place over the years but none as significant as the construction of a brand new 'state-of-the-art' The Edinburgh Woollen Mill Grandstand which opened in October 2002. Race goers can now enjoy superb horse racing from their own private box or in the luxury of the Swifts Restaurant.

Located just off Junction 42 of the M6, Carlisle Racecourse offers superb facilities for both race day and non race day events with seven large hospitality rooms all over looking the stunning Cumbrian countryside, a superb exhibition hall, restaurant, multiple bar facilities and over 250 acres of parkland.

Something for all the family - with all the thrills of falconry, Border Hound trailing, duck & geese herding plus Halloween fancy dress competition for the kids and lots of spooky Halloween activities! Also, featuring Carlisle's single most valuable race, the £40,000 Cumberland Handicap Chase.

ALL MY SONS - the first great success of Arthur Miller's supremely influential career - is a compelling story of love, guilt and the corrupting power of greed.

Joe Keller (David Suchet) is alleged to have supplied World War II fighter planes with defective engines, leading to the deaths of innocent pilots - a crime for which his business partner took the fall. One of Keller's sons, himself a pilot, is thought to have been killed in action. But his mother (Zoe Wanamaker) can't accept his death and equally, can't accept that her dead son's fiancée has transferred her affections to her other son.

The confrontations that ensue lead to the uncovering of a shameful family secret...
