The iconic Studio One, which has played host to the likes of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Stevie Wonder, Sting and U2, will be transformed into a theatre especially for this event.

At the outbreak of the First World War, a young and inexperienced officer, Reggie, is pushed into leadership by his rich and powerful father. On an ill-fated voyage to the battlefield, Reggie struggles to hold his unit together when a jealous and bitter recruit, Jack, stirs trouble amongst the men. Disaster strikes when their ship crashes, and amidst the chaos, Reggie and Jack are thrown together. Inspired by true events, “THE DREAMERS” is a testament to the power of comradeship in the face of adversity. “THE DREAMERS” stars Will Carey (It’s Only Life), Earl Carpenter (Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast, Evita), Dougie Carter (Sunset Boulevard, Les Misérables), Zoe Doano (Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Death Takes A Holiday), Col Farrell (Oh!

With Queen Elizabeth getting older, and having no successor, Sir Robert Cecil, risking treason, is secretly negotiating with the King of the Scots to take over the throne. He also has a wish to open up a trade route to China, and the arrival of a foreign visitor gives him some hope of this, but will the Queen approve of his plans? If she does then will the new King be of the same mind? A mostly true tale of political intrigue, social change and one man's obsession with porcelain, performed in glorious costume in one of London's most historic buildings. The English Department of the University of Sussex approached British East Asian theatre company Red Dragonfly Productions in 2017 to look at the opportunities in bringing court entertainments with Chinese themes, written by Jonson and Davies, back to the stage. Red Dragonfly decided it would be a good idea to weave a narrative around some of these pieces, to give them context and narrative, so brought in writer Ross Ericson. This was how the China Masques came about, an exciting new piece of experimental drama that brings to life the sumptuous celebrations of the Elizabethan and Jacobean Courts. Written by: Ben Jonson and John Davies, with additional text by Ross Ericson Directed by: Ross Ericson Designed by: Red Dragonfly Productions Website: www.reddragonflyproductions.co.uk Time:  7.30pm. Runs 1 hour 10 minutes approximately, with no interval. Prices: Previews: all tickets £20 (£15 concessions) Box Office: Phone: 07487 228993 Online: www.reddragonflyproductions.co.uk _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ LOST WEST END REVUES NEW DOUBLE ALBUM CELEBRATES LONDON'S FORGOTTEN REVUES 'LOST WEST END REVUES' TO BE RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 30th 2018 Featuring recordings by Maggie Smith, Sheila Hancock, Fenella Fielding, Kenneth Williams and Gillian Lynne Following the critically acclaimed release of 'Lost West End Vintage' (highlighted in The Sunday Times as an "Essential New Release") and 'Lost West End Vintage 2', Stage Door Records are pleased to continue the album series with 'Lost West End Revues.'

Collis and authorized by the Larson estate, is now available. Covering Larson’s work from student cabarets at Adelphi University through RENT’s creative process, “Boho Days” tells the story of a young composer on the edge of a rapidly changing New York theatre scene. Based on extensive archival research and interviews with over 60 of Larson’s associates and collaborators, Collis’ book features discussion and analysis of major works such as Superbia, tick, tick… BOOM!, J.P. Morgan Saves the Nation, and RENT. “Boho Days” also addresses a number of lesser-known Larson works including his educational theatre compositions, a collaboration with National Lampoon, and the children’s video Away We Go! “I initially wrote an article about Superbia,” said Collis, an alumni of Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. “It became clear pretty quickly that there was so much more to write about, that nobody was writing about it, and that the first step would be to demystify the collection and let people know where to start.” The article, “Static on a Screen”, was published in Studies in Musical Theatre from Intellect Ltd., and a revised version featuring additional research is included in “Boho Days.” J. Collis earned his Master of Arts in Theatre Studies from the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama before working as a part-time freelance theatre and media critic. Following a path into production, he has since moved into film localization and streaming media. He currently resides in Berlin, Germany. “Boho Days” is now available globally in hardback (ISBN 978-3-00-059113-6) and digitally (978-3-00-059112-9) in the USA, Canada, UK, and Germany. Hard copies are available from all bookstores. Digital distribution is serviced through StreetLib. Libraries can order via Ingram and Overdrive. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MATTHEW BOURNE’S CINDERELLA   Illuminations is delighted to announce the release of Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella on DVD and Blu-ray. Following sell-out UK performances, the release coincides with an exciting international tour and the opening of Bourne’s newest 2018-19 revival of Swan Lake. Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella is a thrilling and evocative love story told in dance. A reinterpretation of the classic fairy tale, it features heart-stopping choreography and vivid, truthful characters. Originally mounted in 1997 but recreated as a completely fresh production in 2017, this is one of New Adventures' most popular and beloved creations. Set in London during the Second World War, the drama features Cinderella and a dashing young RAF pilot. Together just long enough to fall in love, they are parted by the horrors of the Blitz. Among the obstacles to their reunion is Cinderella’s sinister step-mother, while the ethereal Angel weaves his magic to protect our heroine. Olivier Award-winning designer Lez Brotherston’s sumptuous costumes and sets provide a glorious backdrop to the dancing of a wonderful cast. The accompaniment is a specially commissioned recording of Sergei Prokofiev’s magnificent score, played by a 60-piece orchestra and enhanced by Paul Groothuis’ vivid sound design. Performed as part of the company’s 30th anniversary celebrations, Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella creates on stage the sights and sounds of a war-torn London with the help of lighting designer Neil Austin and Duncan McLean’s video projections. DVD AND BLU-RAY EXTRAS The Making of Cinderella (20 minutes) features interviews with cast members Ashley Shaw, Andrew Monaghan, Liam Mower and Michela Meazza as well as New Adventures’ founder, Matthew Bourne.
