The Village Bike
By Penelope Skinner
Thu 13 September – Sat 6 October
‘No it’s totally fine I was probably just riding her a bit hard.
She needs a bit of tinkering. Maybe get your husband to
have a go.’
Becky’s frustrated. She’s pregnant, horny as hell and she’d love
a glass of wine – or three. But her husband’s been reading
The New Pregnancy Ideal and isn’t having any of it, so she
takes matters into her own hands.
Written by Penelope Skinner and directed by Happy Days
director, Jonathan Humphreys, The Village Bike is a daring
and hilarious play about moving to the countryside, making
babies and sorting out a plumber.
Contains adult content and scenes of a sexual nature.

Madame Butterfly
Tue 18 – Sat 22 September
Northern Ballet make a welcome return to the Lyceum Theatre
with their much–loved production of Madame Butterfly.
Innocence, love and betrayal unfold in the picturesque gardens

Lieutenant Pinkerton. He deserts her only to return years later with
his new wife. Abandoned and betrayed, Butterfly is left with only
one honourable course of action.
East meets West as Northern Ballet blend classical ballet with
Japanese–inspired dancing, alongside Puccini’s beautiful score
played live by the Northern Ballet Sinfonia.

Chicago
Starring Ali Bastian as Roxie Hart, Stefan Booth as Billy
Flynn, Tupele Dorgu as Velma Kelly and Bernie Nolan as
Matron ‘Mama’ Morton.
Mon 24 – Sat 29 September
‘Murder, greed, corruption, exploitation, adultery and treachery…
all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts’. So begins
the international award–winning musical, Chicago.
Based on real life events back in the roaring 1920s, nightclub singer
Roxie Hart shoots her lover and, together with Cell Block rival,
double–murderess Velma Kelly, fights to keep herself from death
row with the help of smooth talking lawyer, Billy Flynn.
Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebb
and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, Chicago’s sexy, sassy
score includes All That Jazz and Razzle Dazzle. With six Tony, two
Olivier, one Grammy, two Bafta and six Academy Awards, Chicago
truly is ‘The sharpest, slickest show on the block’ The Times.
It would be a crime to miss it.

Poetry Party with

Directed by Pip Broughton
Tue 9 October 1.00pm
Mon 8 October 7.30pm
For schools only
Sandi Toksvig – comedian, novelist, actor,
broadcaster, show–off and international
treasure – is embarking on her first major
UK solo tour in years to celebrate publication
of her new novel Valentine Grey.
The Ladykillers
Starring Michele Dotrice (Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em),
Clive Mantle (Casualty and The Vicar of Dibley) and
Shaun Williamson (EastEnders and Extras).
Mon 1 – Sat 6 October
Direct from a sell–out West End season, the classic black
comedy The Ladykillers comes to life in a hilarious and thrilling
new adaption by Graham Linehan (Father Ted, The IT Crowd)
and directed by Sean Foley (The Play What I Wrote).
Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent
rooms in the lopsided house of sweet but strict Mrs Wilberforce.
The villains plot to involve her unwittingly in Marcus’ brilliantly
conceived heist job. The police are left stumped, but Mrs Wilberforce
becomes wise to their ruse and Marcus concludes that there is only
one way to keep the old lady quiet. With only her parrot, General
Gordon, to help her, Mrs W. is alone with five desperate men.
But who will be forced to face the music?

Catch Jack as he hits the road
for his 2012 tour. After a six
year absence from stand–up,
he’s back, agonising over the
slightest of annoyances and
misdemeanors.
Where’s he been? Appearing
on shows like QI, Never Mind
The Buzzcocks, 8 out of 10 Cats
and Have I Got News For You;
hosting Radio 4’s legendary
I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue,
co–writing and starring in four
series of BBC 2’s hit sitcom
Lead Balloon and writing his
memoirs, Thanks For Nothing
which he modestly dedicated to
himself, ‘Without whom none of
this would have been possible’.
Why is he touring again?
‘I want to spend less time
with my family’ says Jack.

‘… turns grumpiness into an

Bravo Figaro!
After walking the wall in
the West Bank, becoming
Guinness World Record holder
for political protests and
chasing arms dealers around
the country, Mark Thomas
turns his attention to matters
closer to home with a show
about his father.
First commissioned by the
Royal Opera house, Bravo
Figaro! is the true tale of a
self–employed builder’s love
of opera, degenerative illness
and how to put opera on in a
bungalow in Bournemouth.
It is about love, death and
the search for peace in an
imperfect world with some
gags thrown in for luck, told by
one of the finest storytellers in
the country.

A brand new show from The
Boy. As seen on The Royal
Variety Performance 2011,
ITV1’s Comedy Rocks and
BBC2’s Comedy Prom with
Tim Minchin.
Mime with noise. Stand–up
with no talking. Drama with no
acting. This boy has to be seen
to be believed. What does he
do? The less you know, the
more you will enjoy!
But if you must know, he will
have a gunfight, battle Darth
Vader and bring John Lennon

Sheffield warmth. Seven men armed only with

on classic songs. Don’t miss the latest chapter
in local history.
He’s promised to leave no straight unturned.
‘Because I’m still considered to be quite a
catch and because your town is noted for its
heterosexuals on the cusp, there’s bound to be
stiff competition’, says Julian. ‘Therefore I’ll be
hosting ruthless elimination games. You can be
sure of one thing. By the end of the evening,
we’ll all be celebrating my new partnership.’
Master of camp Julian Clary is looking for love
and he’s not leaving town empty handed…

In this new work international innovators Forced
Entertainment tangle and cross–cut multiple

and laundry, from shipwrecks to falling snow,
personal anecdotes rub shoulders with imaginary
movies, and half–remembered novels bump into
distorted fairytales.
Tue 23 October 7.00pm
It sometimes felt as though time
had stood still on the family
farm – swallows nesting in the
eaves, the old Fordson Tractor
quietly rusting in the back of
the barn, Grandpa still tending
his chickens. That is, until the
summer his grandson finished
school and came to stay, and
the old man started telling
stories of what it had been like
on the farm when he was a boy.

The Coming Storm
Tue 30 October 7.45pm
Eve Ensler’s hilarious Broadway and West End
smash hit, The Vagina Monologues is back,
starring TV favourites Clare Buckfield (Dancing
on Ice, Two Point Four Children) and Vicky
Entwhistle (Coronation Street) and making her
stage debut, Chelsee Healey (Strictly Come
Dancing, Waterloo Road).
An unmissable show for every generation,
bring your mum, your best friend, your sister
or even your gran. This is the ultimate girls night
out, trust us!
Using a method as inventive as it is absurd, six
performers create, collaborate, ambush and
disrupt this epic saga that is resolutely too big
for the stage. The result is comical, contradictory
and poignant. The Coming Storm is Forced
Entertainment at its best – trademark black
humour, a collage of arresting images and an
anarchic performance style.
The Vagina Monologues donates a percentage
of revenue from ticket sales to V–Day benefiting
women’s charities across the world.

Everyone’s favourite little star, Angelina Ballerina, pirouettes onto
the stage in her brand new musical – a magical show packed full
of singing and dancing.
Angelina and her friends think their dreams have come true when
Camembert Academy wins the opportunity to appear in their
favourite television programme ‘Dancing With Mice!’. But when the

seem to agree on anything, it’s up to Angelina as Dance Captain
to ensure that the show goes ahead.
So put on your ballet shoes and join Angelina, Alice, Gracie,

Now celebrating its 23rd year in the West End, over 7 million
people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most chilling and
successful theatre events ever staged.
A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast
over him and his family by the spectre of a ‘Woman in Black’,
engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story
and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently
enough, but as they reach further into his darkest memories the
borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the
flesh begins to creep...
Following on from the success of the recent film starring Daniel
Radcliffe, this is your chance to see this thrilling production live.
Hold on to your seats.
