H.M.S Pinafore
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
To mark their 90th Anniversary, ROS are proud to present Gilbert and Sullivan's famous comic opera, H.M.S. Pinafore.
H.M.S. Pinafore tells the story of a lowly able seaman named Ralph who has fallen in love with Josephine, his Captain's daughter. Josephine, however, has been pledged by her father to Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty. Although Josephine is in love with Ralph, she is determined to remain true to her breeding and marry the man her father has chosen, Sir Joseph.
But is all what it seems?
Having first performed HMS Pinafore in 1923, ROS promise an evening full of comedy, romance and a celebration of 90 years of fantastic productions.

Roses of Eyam
Monday 17th-Tuesday 18th June, 7.30pm
Price: £7-£9
In August 1665, the villagers of Eyam celebrated their harvest wake. The next day, the deaths began.
How would we all deal with a mysterious and seemingly unstoppable disease coming to our village? Incomer priest William Mompesson, in an unlikely alliance with Thomas Stanley, the previous incumbent devises the most courageous plan of all. Based on the events of 1665-1666, Don Taylor’s play displays a message of human strength in the face of adversity, and you will be drawn in as the young actors deal with the complex themes of faith, death, and, in the end, hope in the face of despair.

The Emily Inspires! Centennial programme brings To Freedom’s Cause by Kate Willoughby to various venues around the UK.

We’ll Meet Again
Wednesday 26th-Thursday 27th June, 7.30pm
Price: £7-£9
During 1939 ‘Operation Pied Piper’ saw school children from the towns and cities in danger of enemy attack, transported to the safer countryside areas. Labelled like luggage, with a suit case and gas mask in hand the children bid a tearful goodbye to their parents at the local train stations. The bombs were slow to fall and some parents felt the risks had been exaggerated. Thus by 1940, sixty per cent of the children had returned to their homes.
"We'll Meet Again" tells the story of a group of children as they journey away from their families and step into the unknown.
Performed by the Georgian Theatre Royal Youth Theatre this fun musical will take you on a journey back to WW2 and into the life of the child evacuees.

Price: £6.50 - £12.50
In The Critic or A Tragedy Rehearsed (first staged at Drury Lane Theatre in 1779) Sheridan gleefully satirises the theatre of his day. Mr Puff invites the theatre critics Dangle and Sneer to a rehearsal of his latest play, the bombastic and improbable Spanish Armada. Sheridan sets about joyfully parodying the acting styles, theatrical conventions and Green Room foibles of his time with a subtle hilarity which remains sharp and fresh to this day.
Along the way, The Critic pokes fun at all those actors and playwrights who pretend they don't read reviews, directors who won't listen to actors, designers and stage managers who ignore directors, and lemming-like theatre patrons giving undeserved standing ovations. And, yes, those pesky theatre critics...
Presented by RADS as part of The Georgian Theatre’s 225th Anniversary celebrations and in celebration of 50 years of RADS productions in the Theatre.
“What we have, here, is a cast of very good actors playing a cast of very bad actors. They’re so good they’re bad. Or maybe they’re so bad they’re good...”

Price: £10-£25
Two wealthy sisters in Padua must be married off. The modest, demure Bianca has no shortage of suitors, but who on earth will take the wild, ungovernable, ‘shrewish’ Katherina? Perhaps the gold-digging Petruchio, as maddeningly strong willed and perverse as Katherina herself, will be equal to the task of bullying her to the altar.
Performed at the Globe and on an Elizabethan-style stage with an all-female cast, a small troupe of travelling players breathe new life into Shakespeare’s outrageous comedy. Starring one of theatre’s great screwball double-acts, a couple hell-bent on confusing and outwitting each other right up to its controversial conclusion.

DCI Mark Starkey thinks he’s got a quiet patch in sleepy Thistledale, but all that is about to change dramatically when there’s a sudden, unnatural death on the local allotment...
The grisly discovery down by the beehives is only the beginning for Detective Starkey. To unmask the murderer he must first uncover an altogether less savoury side of life in Thistledale; bitter grudges, thwarted passions and murky pasts...
And then there are the bees...
The life of the honeybee might be described as one of great sweetness and harmony, punctuated by sudden, desperate, acts of violence. The same could be said for Thistledale. Detective Starkey soon realises that the more he knows about bees, the closer he gets to the killer!

Time: 7.30pm
The Fitzrovia Radio Hour
Saturday 26th October, 7.30pm
Price: £7-£20
Recreating the unique spirit of 1940’s radio plays and brilliantly evoking a dinnerjacketed age of casual imperialism and stiff upper lips. The Fitzrovia Radio Hour’s brand new show tours fresh from three critically acclaimed London residencies, and two sellout years at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Performed with cutglass theatricality blending homage and satire, Fitzrovia mixes the chauvinist attitudes of 1940s Britain with sharp contemporary humour to produce a heady comic cocktail.
Throughout the plays, sound effects are created live: a Bakelite hairdryer imitates a heating torch, a desk fan becomes an aeroplane, and multiple types of cabbage help to stage a fight scene. Rippingly good fun!
‘Absolutely spiffing show that recreates the innocent, clipped, Bulldog Drummond spirit of Forties live radio drama, with a skilled company stepping up their retro mics to unfold ripping yarns. A Joy.’ **** Daily Telegraph

Improbable Fiction
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
Improbable Fiction
Thurs 7th - Sat 9th November 2013, 7.30pm
Price: £6.50 - £12.50
'If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction'
Alan Ayckbourn takes his title from a line in that play of reversals and wish fulfilment, Twelfth Night. In Improbable Fiction, Ayckbourn has devised a plot as insanely topsy-turvy as Shakespeare's.
Pendon Writers' Circle, a self-help group for the creatively stalled and artistically deluded, is having collective writers' block. However, the presence of a rather ordinary young girl unleashes their imaginations - with surprising results!
Improbable Fiction sends up Dorothy L Sayers, Jane Austen and The X-Files - with a selection of spoof sci-fi characters, a detective that any crime writer would be proud to disown, a damsel in distress, and the abduction of his mother by aliens, the storylines overlap and interweave around a bemused Arnold.
RADS continue their 2013 sequence of plays with the central theme of story-telling (following Ayckbourn's This Is Where We Came In and Sheridan's The Critic). Sharp comedy and affectionate satire characterise this zany, imaginative play.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
Wednesday 20th-Saturday 23rd November, 7.30pm
Price: £6.50-£13.50
Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!
Broadway’s greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written-the perfect escape from life’s troubles.
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom.
Delightfully unsavoury characters, a befuddled father with a shrewish wife, neighbours, strangers and the Roman army are all drawn into the confusion as this side-splitting comedy unwinds.
Richmond Operatic Society
Music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart
Originally produced on Broadway by Harold Prince
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with JOSEF WEINBERGER LIMITED on behalf of MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL of NEW YORK.
