Film, theatre & Performances

Bromley Little Theatre

Bookings: www.bromleylittletheatre.org

The Prisoner of Second Avenue

3rd – 11th June, 7.45pm (Main auditorium)

Mel Edison has definitely had better days. The summer heat is unbearable, the air-con is on the blink, the noisy neighbours are driving him crazy, his high-stress job is about to vanish and the television news is getting weirder by the second. Luckily Edna, his loving and supportive wife, is a beacon of hope and sanity. But not for long…

A Walk in the Woods

15th-19th June, 7.45pm (In the bar)

Set in pleasant woods on the outskirts of Geneva in the late 1980s two arms limitation negotiators, one Russian and one American, take a stroll. Away from the glare of the negotiating table they develop a relationship even though their personalities are very different. An intriguing and thought-provoking drama as relevant today as it was in 1988.
