Theatre review: Aireborough Gilbert & Sullivan Society, Yeadon Town Hall, February 7 and 8, 7.30pm and Saturday, February 9, 2.30pm.
Aireborough Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s ‘Yeomen of The Guard’ at Yeadon Town Hall
I AM not familiar with Yeomen of the Guard' - it is more grand opera than the usual lilting, joyful shows Gilbert and Sullivan wrote.
We will Rock You by Stampede Theatre Company at Yeadon Town Hall
Wow. What a show. A funky, punky romp. A dynamic production the technicalities of which left one completely overawed. Five screens, colour, light revolving, hitting the audience at times making a couple of scene changes look miraculous. Intelligence and innovative direction. Until I had read the programme which by the way was excellent, I haven't a clue about the story but it didn't matter.
'A Man For All Seasons' at St Mary's RC School, Menston
A Man For All Seasons' is a about Sir Thomas More, Chancellor of England who refused to support King Henry Vlll's divorce from Catherine of Aragon in order to marry his mistress Anne.
Aireborough G & S Society’s ‘The Mikado which runs at Yeadon Town Hall until Saturday.
This gifted and exemplary society are celebrating the production of their 50th show. A first-class exhibition of costume and memorabilia has been put together at the Town Hall which is a credit to the society's love and dedication to G & S operas. This is not to be missed.
‘Les Miserables’ by Stampede Theatre Company at Yeadon Town Hall.
I WASN'T sure what to expect from a schools edition' of Les Mis'. This show is difficult enough for adults to perform let alone youngsters aged 11-19.
