Dandy Dick, 21 Aug 2012 - 25 Aug 2012

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 22:54:32 +0000

21 Aug 2012 - 25 Aug 2012 - Theatre at New Alexandra Theatre

Written in Brighton in 1887, Dandy Dick is the inaugural production of Theatre Royal Brighton Productions.

This will be its first major revival for forty years, and stars Olivier Award-winner Patricia Hodge, whose career spans film (Betrayal, Behind Enemy Lines), theatre (Noises Off, Calendar Girls) and television (a BAFTA nomination for Hotel du Lac, The Falklands Play and, of course, Miranda).

Nicholas Le Prevost’s distinguished stage career includes many productions at the National Theatre, including My Fair Lady, for which he was nominated for an Olivier Award. More recently, he was seen in The Misanthrope with Keira Knightley.

Dandy Dick tells the hilarious story of the Very Reverend Augustin Jedd, a pillar of Victorian respectability, who preaches regularly against the evils of the Turf. But a visit from his tearaway sister, herself an habitual gambler, leads him to risk all at the races, much against his better judgement. Mayhem ensues, with romantic intrigue, mistaken identity and a runaway horse... Following his huge success with The Madness of George III in the West End, Christopher Luscombe directs a solid gold cast of comic actors in what is surely the must-see comedy of 2012.

Stockhausen was a revolutionary figure in 20th century music. His innovation moved composition into new territory embracing the new technology of electronic music and breaking the barriers between musical genres.

He has influenced pop, rock and electronic music and his appeal to a very broad young audience sells out the Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican as well as large concert halls in Europe, America and the Pacific Rim.

From tragic opening to climactic, world-embracing Ode to Joy, Beethoven’s Ninth has never been just another symphony – it’s an emotional experience with the power to change lives.

This isn’t only an extraordinary upbeat to our new season; it should be one of Birmingham’s musical events of the year. Be sure to book early.

Many years ago whilst up a hill with the Kate Bush Fan Club eating magic fudge, Zoe stumbled upon the secret of inner peace. Just live life and be happy. But that’s much easier said than done when you’re the sort of person who could commit mass insect homicide in a butterfly house, becomes violent when confronted with souvenir thimbles and lies awake at night worrying that if you ever went to prison you wouldn’t use the time wisely and would only be a disappointment to yourself.
