SHANKLIN THEATRE Welcome As we enter the last four months of the year, I am hoping that in our mixed programme there will be something for everyone.

There are big names from the music world. From the 80's come Imaginaton with flamboyant lead singer Leee John. Also here is the fantastic Jason Donovan. In addition you will see that a great show has been added at the end of August starring Joe McElderry.

Comedy is represented by Andy Parsons, Rich Hall, Jimeoin, and the returning Paul Zerdin.

Fantastic productions of Tosca, and Swan Lake will surely be very popular, as will the musical 9 to 5, and a George and Mildred comedy.

Look inside as there are many other shows, so we hope to see you soon.

As an American comedian in the UK Hall’s precision dismantling of the tenuous relationship between two countries is as freewheeling and deadly accurate as ever. The Hoedown begins as a withering dissection of Trump’s America, but ends up being a celebration of Americana. There’s stand-up, improvised ballads, cracking good musicianship, and ultimately a hilarious, foot-stomping, shitkicking good time to be had by all. Even if you don’t own a hoe.

This classical ballet masterpiece will be performed to a large live 30 piece orchestra.

I originally intended to call the show, “I’ll Millennial You in a Minute”, but my promoter considered the title, “off-puttingly baffling”. That’s my own chainsaw in the photo, by the way.

Is life that bad or have we good reason to complain about it? Are we filled with righteous anger at a world gone wrong or are we all just a bunch of whiny little brats? In short, are we spoiled? Come and watch as Byrne takes this question, turns it upside down and shakes it until the funny falls out. Go on, spoil yourself.
