Their social-climbing neighbours, Jane and Roger, are invited to celebrate Dennis' impending 35th birthday, but as the evening continues the admissions and exposés far outnumber the birthday cake candles! http://www.theplacebedford.org.uk/WhatsOn/OneForTheRoad.shtml Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:00:00 GMT One for the Road Theatre Show Honour is an award-winning play about the dissection of a marriage seen from four different perspectives - the wife, the husband, the mistress and the daughter. A work of verbal revelation and confrontation, it examines the conflict between generations and the balance of power in relationships. http://www.theplacebedford.org.uk/WhatsOn/Honour.shtml Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:00:00 GMT Honour Theatre Show J B Priestley's superb blend of morality play and thriller is set in a Yorkshire household during the early 1900s. Inspector Goole calls at the home of a wealthy industrialist Arthur Birling to investigate the mysterious circumstances behind the death of a young woman named Eva Smith. But each one of the family has a secret... The determined Inspector slowly proves their collective guilt before a final supernatural twist in the tail. http://www.theplacebedford.org.uk/WhatsOn/InspectorCalls.shtml Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:00:00 GMT An Inspector Calls Theatre Show Sister George is a beloved character in the popular radio series "Applehurst", administering to the medical and personal needs of the local villagers. She is portrayed by June Buckridge, in reality a gin-guzzling, cigar-chomping, slightly sadistic lesbian - the total antithesis of the sweet character she plays. When June discovers her character is scheduled to be killed off, she becomes increasingly impossible to work and live with. Mercy Croft, a BBC executive and host of her own very successful "Agony Aunt" programme, intercedes in their professional and personal lives - supposedly to help - but she actually has an agenda of her own. http://www.theplacebedford.org.uk/WhatsOn/SisterGeorge.shtml Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:00:00 GMT The Killing of Sister George Theatre Show A musical reconstruction of the events of the year 1888 in London's East End - a world of dastardly deeds coupled with the bawdy behaviour of the Music Hall. Experience the mean streets of Whitechapel, and tremble at the terror stalking the alleys..... Set in the intimate atmosphere of The Place, this cult musical creates a world where nothing is quite what it seems, bringing you melodrama, pathos and above all HUMOUR. There are plenty of laughs along the way - a show which will keep you entertained all evening. http://www.theplacebedford.org.uk/WhatsOn/JackTheRipper.shtml Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:00:00 GMT Jack the Ripper Theatre Show The Place is delighted to announce a Piano Forum and Workshop in early October, held by respected teachers and performers Lorraine and Raymond Banning. http://www.theplacebedford.org.uk/WhatsOn/PianoWorkshop.htm Mon, 01 Sep 2008 09:00:00 GMT Piano Forum and Workshop Workshop
