Friday, August 18
11:30 a.m. – Attend performance of VILLAGE WOOING at the Royal George Theatre
On a cruise ship, an anti-social writer (‘A’) becomes acquainted, quite unwillingly, with a sparky young woman (‘Z’). The two of them have nothing in common: not their class, not their experience, not their outlook. So, of course, it is a love story. With six actors for two parts, the casting of A and Z will be as unpredictable as love itself.
2 p.m. – Attend performance of ON THE RAZZLE at the Royal George Theatre
Life in a small Austrian village can get a bit tedious. But when two shop assistants decide to go “on the razzle” in Vienna, they manage to get into more trouble in one night than most of us will in a lifetime. Mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and scrapes with the law – all the ingredients of farce are whipped up by the incomparable Tom Stoppard into a feast of dazzling language and terrible puns.
5:30 p.m. - Dinner at hotel.
8 p.m. – Attend performance of GYPSY at the Festival Theatre
Gypsy Rose Lee was the world’s most famous striptease artist; Momma Rose the ultimate stage mother. Follow their extraordinary story in Stephen Sondheim’s timeless musical about sex, power and longing. With legendary songs, including “Let Me Entertain You” and “Everything’s Coming up Roses,” Gypsy remains the greatest American musical.
Saturday, August 19
12:00 p.m. – Attend performance of BLITHE SPIRIT at the Festival Theatre
A theatre-lovers’ favourite ever since it was written, Blithe Spirit is a tug-of-love comedy with a difference: one of the lovers is a ghost. Novelist Charles, hoping to gather material for his next book, asks Madame Arcati (one of the great characters in all of theatre) to conduct a séance in his house. It works too well: his first wife returns from the other side, with predictably disastrous results for his second marriage. Noël Coward at his deadliest.
