What's on at The Everyman in April 2008

Another busy month at The Everyman sees some great classic theatre.

April begins with the timeless Oscar Wilde masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest performed by the Middle Ground Theatre Company. This is followed on 6 April by The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged). Yes, that's 37 Shakespearian plays in 97 minutes! One that has to be seen to be believed we think. Fortunately Shakespeare slows down to a more relaxing pace as Rockvalley Productions perform a complete version of the bards classic Romeo and Juliet.

On a lighter note Colin Baker will be performing in Oliver Goldsmiths She Stoops to Conquer on 8 to 12 April. This production is brought to Cheltenham by the highly acclaimed Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

On 14 April the Everyman sees a comedy about a clown who gives in to society and gets himself a 'real' job. Tweedys Lost Property is a one man variety show which will have its audience sniggering throughout.

From 15 to 19 April Spies is the story of childhood set during the Second World War. The plot evolves around the secrets that transpire when one of the children announces that his mother is a German spy.

Shaws Pygmalion visits Cheltenham as part of a small pre-West End tour prior to its opening at London's historic Old Vic Theatre. This production has received rave reviews earlier this year and with a star cast promises to be a memorable version of this much-loved classic.

History will be on trial in The Studio Theatre from 22 - 26 April with Hanging Hooke, and the controversial disclosures of Robert Hooke - a genius of the 17th century, or not? You decide. The historical theme continues with Sam & I as Elizabeth Pepys shares her stories of her life and exploits of her husband.

April closes with three unmissable ballets from Birmingham Royal Ballet. Spanning 70 years of British creativity they will perform Dante Sonata, Small Worlds and Elite Syncopations.Truly inspirational!.
