Thursday 20 May – Saturday 22 May 2004 @ 7.30pm The Norman Conquests: Table Manners By Alan Ayckbourn Directed by Peter Doran Peter Doran directs the brilliant Ayckbourn pressure- cooker farce, where the complicated events of one weekend in the life of Norman - a thwarted Lothario - unfold from the dining room of his house. Extreme sexual tension, too much alcohol, too little food and unexpected visitors lead to a combustible mix as Norman’s futile ambitions are foiled. When he vows revenge all hell breaks loose with hilarious consequences. Bute Theatre RWCMD £6, £4, £2 TOURING: Thursday 27 - Saturday 29 May 2004 The Torch Theatre, Milford Haven 7.30pm Tickets: £8, £6 Box Office: 01646 695267 Friday 21 May – Saturday 29 May 2004 @ 8.00pm Dracula By Bram Stoker, adapted by Liz Lochhead Directed by Martin Houghton Something of the Night and not a Tory in sight! 'Liz Lochhead's Dracula shrugs off all those fanged hammer spoofs and restores real tragedy to Bram Stoker's tale' - The Guardian “Alone with the dead! I dare not go out, for I can hear the low howl of the wolf through the broken window.” When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client and his castle. Soon afterwards a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby, strange puncture marks appear on a young woman’s neck, and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the imminent arrival of his ‘Master’. In the ensuing battle of wits between the sinister Count Dracula and a determined group of adversaries, Bram Stoker's masterpiece probes deeply into questions of human identity and sanity, illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire. It will be a nail biting evening- you can Count on it! Venue 2, The Sherman Theatre, Senghennydd Road, Cardiff. £7, £5, £3.50 Box Office 029 2064 6900 |
