There are freemasons, conspiracies and plots at the highest level of the establishment. But for Holmes, there is a uniquely personal element to this new and terrifying case…

Charlie Landsborough
Carmen
Showaddywaddy
Charlie has played all over the world and is one of the biggest selling artists in Irish music history. His reputation continues to grow and he has won numerous country music awards, including, Best Male Vocalist at the British Country Music Association Awards three years in a row. Most of his 25 albums reached the No. 1 spot and he is well on his way to selling 2 million songs, resulting in a British Country Music Hall of Fame induction. His work has been covered by Jack Jones, Pat Boone and Foster and Allen, to name just a few.
Opera & Ballet International proudly presents an Ellen Kent production with international soloists, highly praised chorus and full orchestra.
Roy Chubby Browns Don’t Get Fit Get Fat LIVE
One of the most famous and seductive operas of all time, Bizet’s irresistibly emotional Carmen guarantees an evening of passion and romance, this dazzling production features Bizet’s unforgettable melodies including the best known baritone aria of all, The Toreador’s Song. Carmen also includes a replica of Seville’s main square with fountains, flowers and orange trees “Impassioned and sultry” The Observer “Hot-blooded, a joy” The Independent Sung in French with English surtitles
Roy Chubby Brown returns with his meatiest show yet! He’s still rude, he’s still crude and this time he’s turning headlines into punch lines as his rip-roaring brand of banter continues to burst bellies across the country. Chubby doesn’t hold back from sharing his outlandish views on news, women and gender, sailing so close to the mark, even the most seasoned of fans will be left gob-smacked! As politically incorrect as ever ‘The World’s Most Outrageous Comedian’ is far too rude for TV, so this live performance is the only place to catch the flamboyant comedian!
‘The Greatest Rock & Roll Band In The World’ is a bold statement but Showaddywaddy has lived up to that title as they recently celebrated their 40th anniversary. Formed in the 1970s in Leicester from several local bands, they have sold more than 20 million records and have toured the world. Their live show is dynamic and uplifting featuring all of their biggest hits, many of which reached number one in the pop charts of Europe. ‘Under The Moon of Love’, ‘Three Steps to Heaven’, ‘Hey Rock & Roll’, ‘When’, ‘Blue Moon’, ‘Pretty Little Angel Eyes’ and many, many more. So come and join the ‘Dancing Party’… ‘You’ve Got What It Takes’!

The band is now accepted as the world’s only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & T.Rex, and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan’s family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex, and Bolan’s catalogue management. The band has been described by many as ‘beyond the boundaries of tribute’. Truly a rock’n’roll concert for all ages - If you would like to know exactly what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970s, this show is for you!

Hilarious comedy Dirty Dusting returns to the PLAYHOUSE in May 2016, after the success of this year’s sell out show. There’s nothing like a feel-good comedy to put a smile on your face, and that’s exactly what Dirty Dusting is here to do, as PLAYHOUSE welcomes an all-star cast to the PLAYHOUSE stage, once more. The outrageous but lovable Liverpudlian Crissy Rock (ITV’s Benidorm, I’m A Celebrity 2011) is at the helm, of the production alongside local girl Leah Bell and Dolores Poretta, actress of stage and screen. This stellar line up ensures Dirty Dusting is to be a night of heartwarming, feel-good comedy, yet again.
Sister Act The Multi-Winning Lowestoft Players make a welcome return to the Marina Theatre Based on the hit 1992 Whoopie Goldburg film, this ‘fabulous’ musical comedy tells the hilarious story of Deloris van Cartier, a wannabe diva. Her life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent!
The show is investigational and for the purpose of entertainment.

Following the success of last year’s Summer Youth Theatre Project, MBK Creative Productions in association with the Marina Theatre are thrilled to present the Madness Musical Our House. Our House is a fast moving romantic-comedy featuring all the hits of Madness. The show tells the tale of Joe Casey and the two courses his life may take after committing a petty crime to impress his girlfriend. What would have happened if he stayed to meet the police when they appear on the scene of the crime? What would have happened if he had made a run for it? The show features Madness favourites such as Our House, Baggy Trousers, My Girl, Driving in My Car, The Wings of a Dove and the all-time classic It Must Be Love. The aim of this SUMMER THEATRE PROJECT is to provide up to 40 youngsters aged 10 – 21 years with the opportunity to work together in a professional theatre. The two week project culminates in 3 performances of a full-scale musical under the supervision of a highly skilled creative team including Director & Choreographer Matt Flint, award winning Musical Director Benjamin Holder, a live band and technical team all in less than 2 weeks!
