Fresh from her new TV Series Psychic Sally On The Road on LIVING TV, Britain’s best loved celebrity psychic returns by overwhelming public demand. Famous for her work with the late Princess Diana, Sally now brings her amazing abilities and her tremendous personality to the stage with a unique theatrical experience. Sally Morgan has taken the UK by storm!!

If you have a sick sense of humour maybe laughter is the best medicine.

Cradle To Rave is the brand new one man show from Lenny Henry, fresh from his award-winning stint in Othello. Lenny returns to his roots with a funky, funny and touching show about the thing he loves most: music.

Not to be taken if you have a sensitive disposition. Recommended dose: one new show to be taken annually (I said annually). Only suitable for ages 16+

www.sallymorgan.tv

the naked truth it’s a woman thing

Cradle To Rave is a musical journey, exploring the role music has played, and will play, at every stage of Lenny’s life. Written by Lenny Henry and Jon Canter.

The Tribute to ABBA - Forever is one of the UK’s leading International tribute shows and audiences have long enjoyed this superb recreation of possibly the world‘s greatest pop band. The unique Abba sound is replicated with an incredible attention to detail, using a six-piece band featuring guitars, keyboards and piano, drums and bass guitar. Two outstanding Abba girls complete the line-up, adding essential glitz and glamour to a well polished and gently humorous show.

fri 22 & sat 23 apr 7.30pm c g l Real Women, Real Lives. Tailor-made for women, The Naked Truth is the hit comedy play from Dave Simpson, the writer of the smash-hit comedy Girls Night Out, starring Maureen Nolan and Claire King (Emmerdale), Michelle Heaton (Liberty X) and Leanne Jones (Olivier award winning star of Hairspray). Set in a pole dancing class (the latest get-fit craze) The Naked Truth is a brilliantly funny comedy about sisterhood. It’s a women thing, as five very different women struggle hilariously to conquer pole dancing for an event to raise awareness and money for a breast cancer charity. As their stories unfold and unravel, they share laughter and tears in this hilarious, sad and ultimately moving play.

The Naked Truth is a poignant and uplifting comedy, a call to all women and celebrating strength through adversity. It’s a show for women, about women that men absolutely must see (if they dare!). 6
