A dark musical comedy in which the songs and black humour of the Music Hall are set against a nightmare world. A British soldier accidentally kills a German woman on the last day of the Second World War. This fabulous play explores personal responsibility in wartime and reflects on the fate of civilians caught up in conflict. Touching yet wildly comic, with classic routines from Music Hall ‘greats’ such as Max Miller, Sandy Powell, Frank Randle and Stanley Holloway. |

She's a gorgeous multi-talented thirty-something brunette; he's a handsome well-strung 230-something year-old cello, and together they make sweet music. A singing cellist who tells jokes? The world's only cellist-singer-cum-impressionist? Rebecca Carrington happily defies categorisation. From Madonna to Mozart, Britney to Beethoven, Bagpipes to Bangra, this promises to be a truly unique and absolutely joyous evening. “Jaw-droppingly impressive” - Chortle |

Following their acclaimed wartime trilogy, Ministry of Entertainment leave the ration-ridden 40s behind and recreate the sophisticated 1950s. In ‘Mrs Gerrish's Guesthouse’ we meet a Weston Super Mare landlady and her collection of eccentric guests. Based on true stories and reminiscences from the time, and laced with the upbeat, optimistic songs of the period, the show evokes the innocent era of the saucy seaside postcard, when Britain had ‘never had it so good’, Mrs Gerrish had ‘never had it so full’, and most British teenagers just ‘never had it’! |
