7:30pm
Lyceum Theatre Oldham
95 Union St, Oldham OL1 1QG
DETAILS:
Play One- 'Sunset' By Jerome K. Jerome First performed at The Lyceum 90 years ago, this short play aptly launches our ‘celebrations’ theme. Sunset is based around an amusing, sophisticated young love triangle, with a very funny ‘local yokel’ thrown in. We are updating it for modern audiences, adding in a spoof element. Each night, our resident Lyceum expert, Mike Russell will open the show with a brief talk putting the play in context with our history as a theatre. Play Two- 'The Real Inspector Hound' By Tom Stoppard. This hilarious classic short play continues the spoof theme and celebrates the joy of theatre. Two theatre critics, Moon and Birdboot are watching a ludicrous country house ‘whodunit.' In a twist of theatrical genius, they themselves become involved in the action, causing a series of events that parallel the play they are watching, resulting in an ultimate, mindblowing parody that turns theatre on its head.
Entry fee: £9.00 per ticket
