Welcome to THEATRE ROYAL WINDSOR

WHAT’S ON 4. SLEUTH 7. FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!

February marks the start of the Chinese New Year and this year will be the Year of the Dragon. It is believed the dragon represents innovation, vision and growth in which people should pursue dreams, express ideas, and expand horizons.

What better way to do that than by escaping to your local theatre, where you can take in everything from World Premieres to classic plays, fabulous musicals and comedy, or tap your feet along to your favourite tribute acts!

8. GATSBY ON - AIR 9. WILDE ON - AIR 10. CLOSURE 12. CALENDAR GIRLS THE MUSICAL 14. THE HAUNTING 15. MANE CHANCE 16. TWELVE ANGRY MEN 17. OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR

Following our wonderful production of Aladdin (which broke all box office records), we are looking forward to the critically acclaimed thriller Sleuth kicking off its UK tour with us at the end of January, along with the return of our much-loved Radio Plays. This time The Great Gatsby & Lady Windermere’s Fan will get the Windsor On-Air treatment.

Our first World Premiere of the year, Closure, opens at the end of February with an all-star cast. This really is ‘a rollercoaster of a thriller’ that will have you on the edge of your seats.

Highlights this Spring include political comedy Party Games, cult musical Little Shop of Horrors, Oh What a Lovely War and the returning smash – hits of last year Calendar Girls – The Musical and Twelve Angry Men. If you missed them last time around, make sure to book your tickets, as they will go fast!

Based on the F.Scott Fitzgerald novel and set in the Jazz age of the glamorous, roaring 20s near New York City, the play follows the tragic story of mysterious and enigmatic millionaire Jay Gatsby. Deceit, murder, obsession and jazz abound as we delve into the illicit source of Gatsby’s self-made fortune and obsession to reunite with his wealthy former lover, socialite Daisy Buchanan.

The Great Gatsby and Lady Windermere’s Fan are Windsor On-Air productions and will be brought to life with dazzling period costumes, music and a Foley artist recreating sound effects and atmospherics live on stage.

All performed on the set of a vintage-style recording studio.

Wilde’s irreverent comedy follows the young Lady Windermere as her jealousy over her husband’s apparent interest in a beautiful older woman with a mysterious past looks set to ruin lives.

Deeply rooted in the upper-class English society of the late Victorian era, the play satirises the hypocrisy of the shallow and outwardly strict moral rules in place at the time.

‘IT’S GORGEOUS. IT’S A BEAUT!’ DAILY TELEGRAPH

Following the death of a much-loved husband, a group of ordinary women in a Yorkshire Women’s Institute do an extraordinary thing - and create a nude calendar for charity.

Laurie Brett (EastEnders), Maureen Nolan (The Nolans, Blood Brothers), Lyn Paul (The New Seekers, Blood Brothers), Helen Pearson (Hollyoaks), Samantha Seager (Coronation Street) and Honeysuckle Weeks (Foyle’s War) as the ladies, turn preconceptions upside down, but are they prepared for the emotional and personal ramifications they will face as they each come in to bloom?

With unforgettable songs, each performance continues to add to the millions already raised for Blood Cancer UK, and proves that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman!

In an ancient, crumbling mansion, two men stumble across a dark and terrifying secret that will change their lives forever.

When a book dealer, David Filde, is employed by Lord Gray to catalogue the estate’s impressive library, he finds an incredible array of rare books. However, as a series of strange and unexplained events conspire to keep Filde from his work, he realises that if he is to convince his sceptical employer that the mysterious phenomena he is experiencing are real, they must journey together to the very edge of terror to discover the source of the terrifying visitations.

A jury has murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they decide the fate of a young delinquent accused of killing his father.

WITH STAR-CASTING TO BE ANNOUNCED! Amidst the heat of a Neapolitan spring, Filumena Marturano lies on her deathbed, waiting to marry the man who has kept her as his mistress for twenty-five years. No sooner than Filumena and Domenico are wed, she makes a miraculous recovery, much to the surprise of her new, unwilling husband and his younger lover! Filumena holds on to a secret from her past life in the brothels of Naples, revealing one of her three grown-up sons is Domenico’s. But which one? Will he accept all three?!
