THE PRESENT PREDICAMENT OF EDNA RUNNACLEAVE

At the Manor Pavilion Theatre, Sidmouth.

Desmond is back in the family home, the home he once shared with his late Auntie Edna, who was more like an older sister. Back then, they laughed & played together, making up fanciful stories, to the bewilderment of his unimaginative mother. Like Auntie Edna, Desmond longs for colour and adventure. Perhaps all he needs is a little encouragement to make a modest start. That’s where Auntie Edna steps in. A timely word here & there, delivered from the confines of a dusty sewing cupboard. Desmond is unaware of her small, ghostly presence, but ….. was that a sneeze he heard? Surely not?

HAPPY AND GLORIOUS

At the Manor Pavilion Theatre, Sidmouth.

Neil Sands and his wonderful West End cast are back to celebrate the 70 glorious years of Her Majesty’s record-breaking reign. This uplifting afternoon will bring back golden memories with songs made famous by many of her favourite singers and stars from her Royal Command performances. From show tunes to the golden days of rock & roll and into the swinging sixties, sing along to a cockney knees up, a rousing section from Last Night of the Proms, and of course our signature flag waving finale in a tribute to the veterans of her armed forces, with those legendary Songs That Won The War.
All of this mixed with wonderful voices, spectacular costumes, a patriotic stage set and lots of good old-fashioned fun, makes this the perfect nostalgic way to celebrate this historic occasion.
