 A Little Night Music is a gentle farce centred around a lawyer, Fredrick Egerman, and the loves in his life. His marriage to the beautiful Anne is still unconsummated and so onto the scene comes his old flame Désirée Arnfeldt, the glamorous actress. When Désirée invites Frederick and his family to her mother's country estate, all their Edwardian manners are tested to the full in this witty, funny and often poignant tale of love and desire. Stephen Sondheim is one of, if not the, greatest living musical composers whose other successes include Company, Sweeney Todd, Into The Woods and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, not to mention his contribution as lyricist to Gypsy and West Side Story amongst others. The sweeping score is unusual as it is nearly all in waltz time, suggesting a myriad of possible love triangles between the people on stage. Moving and lyrical, it is probably best known for the achingly beautiful ballad Send In The Clowns. For full details on how to buy tickets for both venues click here. Unfortunately the Borough Theatre does not have online booking but we do for The Paget rooms, see below. |
 Thank you to everyone who came to see our Die Fledermaus concert. It was great fun and it was lovely being back in Abergavenny with a concert after such a long time. |

Thank you too to all those who came and saw our fantastic production of The Mystery Of Edwin Drood. We had great audiences in Penarth and Abergavenny and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We now have a few weeks rest before preparing for our next production, Die Fledermaus. A full show report and pictures from Drood are here. |
Last autumn we had a very successful run of Lend Me Tenor in Penarth and Abergavenny and at the annual Glamorgan League Glammies Award ceremony in June this year, having been nominated and shortlisted in all acting categories, we won Best Supporting Actor (Nigel), Best Director (Ruairidh) and Best Play. So another successful year! A full report of the play with photos and our NODA Review of Lend Me A Tenor can be found here. |
