The concert also features the famous Fireworks Music, composed in 1749.

A woman longing for her lover; a wronged wife plotting her revenge; a squaddie traumatized by war. Love, laughter, tears, and treachery. And just a little murder, too. Whatever life brings us, the ancient Greeks have the right words for it. As they navigate through youthful high jinks, adult chaos, and the preoccupations of old age, their wit and wisdom are a road map for our modern age.

Directed by writer-translator David Stuttard, multi award winners Dame Siân Phillips and Alex Jennings give voice to stories, scenes, and poems from ancient Greece, which –profound or poignant, fast moving, funny, or at times downright preposterous – help make sense of our lives today.

Following a phenomenal two years in the West End and a sensational first UK and Ireland tour, the “indisputably terrific” (The Times) Olivier AwardWinning Best New Musical, charting the euphoric highs and agonizing lows of The Kinks, is back!

DIRECT FROM THE WEST END

For the first time ever, a novel by John le Carré — the undisputed master of the modern spy genre whose works include Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and The Night Manager — is brought to life in a thrilling stage adaptation. Based on the worldwide bestseller and named in TIME Magazine’s AllTime Greatest 100 Novels, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold is a riveting journey through the fog-shrouded terrain of Cold War espionage, deception, and moral compromise.

Disillusioned British intelligence officer Alec Leamas is ready to come in from the cold — until veteran agent George Smiley persuades him to take one final mission against the East German Secret Service. Deep undercover, he finds his convictions tested and his defences breached by Liz Gold, a quietly defiant librarian whose compassion threatens to thaw his frostbitten heart.

Following a sold-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre and a hit West End premiere, this gripping new play written by David Eldridge (Beginning, Middle) and directed by Jeremy Herrin (A Mirror, People, Places & Things) comes to Malvern for one week only.

Florence Foster Jenkins is about to blow your mind…and possibly your eardrums.

The critically acclaimed West End hit comedy will be screeching around the UK from February 2026. The tour celebrates the show’s 20th anniversary. Glorious wowed audiences in its original Olivier-nominated West End long-running production starring Maureen Lipman in 2005, before coming to the silver screen, starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant in the film version of the play that critics simply called Glorious. The show has since been seen by millions of people around the world, translated into 25 languages, and performed in 36 countries.

Glorious follows Florence’s journey as she prepares for her concerts, builds an unlikely friendship with her accompanist, Cosme, and defies her critics to follow her dreams.

Dubbed ‘the worst singer in the world,’ Glorious is the true story of American socialite Florence Foster Jenkins, who was known for her flamboyant costumes, enigmatic performances, and decidedly off-key voice.

Starring Wendi Peters (Coronation Street) as Florence Foster Jenkins, this hilarious production played to rave reviews at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre and is the feel-good spring comedy we’ve been waiting for.

Glorious is written by Peter Quilter (End of the Rainbow and the movie, Judy) and directed by Kirk Jameson (Song From Far Away, Madagascar: the Musical).

New York, 1979. Academy Awardnominated singer and film star Lotte Lenya (The Threepenny Opera, From Russia With Love) conjures the ghost of her husband, composer Kurt Weill, as she reflects on their life, their art, and the impossible contradictions of love. Confession, cabaret and commemoration combine in this brand new operatic musical drama starring Olivier and Grammy Awardwinning Rosalind Plowright (Mary Stuart and Not the Messiah Monty Python) as Lenya, befalling a latenight reckoning with memory, guilt and song.

From the slums of Vienna to Broadway stardom, from exile under Nazism to late-life loneliness, Lenya and Weill relive their love story in music. With Weill at the piano and Lenya centre stage, they sing, argue, dance, remember — and try, one last time, to understand each other.

As Lenya prepares to say goodbye — not only to Weill, but to performing itself — she questions what it means to survive, to be remembered, and to truly belong. Raw, witty, painful and defiantly alive, Lenya is an intimate portrait of love in a time of chaos, and music as the one thing that endures.
