IN OLD AGE, Salieri recalls his successful career as Court Composer, his hatred of Mozart, and how he conceived the brilliant young composer’s demise. With an obnoxious personality totally incongruous with his musical genius, Mozart died neglected and impoverished while the mediocre Salieri lived in a blaze of fame and praise. Salieri’s ironic fate was to be the only man at court to realise that “…from the ordinary he created legends – and I from legends created only the ordinary”. Now approaching his own death, Salieri has nothing but the awareness of his own hollow achievements, and a terrible intention to achieve another kind of immortality. The play is set in Vienna in November 1823 and, in recall, the decade 1781–91.

WE ARE PLEASED to welcome our friends from ENCHANT back to join us in this celebration of Christmas in words and music.

DOROTHY GALE AND little Toto are forever getting into trouble on the farm in Kansas. Alongside her Aunt Em, Uncle Henry and her three hapless farmhand friends, she dreams of travelling to a place where troubles melt like lemon drops over the rainbow. Her wish is granted courtesy of a terrible twister which takes her far away to the magical land of Oz where the beautiful Dame Glinda sends her off down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. But hot on her ruby heels is the Wicked Witch of the West who is bent on taking over the colourful kingdom. Will Dorothy have the brains, heart, and courage to save all of Oz and find her way home? Find out in this ‘wicked’ and wonderful pantomime!

“JUST BEFORE DAWN the play’s characters find themselves outside the walls of a strange city. At daybreak they are admitted and venture inside to explore. What follows can be seen as an awakening of social conscience, or perhaps a sojourn into the realm between heaven and hell. As always, Priestley scrutinises how society behaves, and brings us to question the very meaning of our existence”..

BRITAIN’S MASTER FARCEUR (Two Into One, Run For Your Wife, et al.) is at it again. Set in a hospital, It Runs in the Family contains the usual assortment of farcical nuts running in and out of doors mistaking everybody for someone else, as Dr. Mortimore tries to fend off a paternity suit, an ex-wife, a punkish daughter and various other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver the Ponsonby Lecture at an international conference.
