Richmond Theatre

Until November 19 - The Lavender Hill Mob

The men who broke the bank and lost the cargo are back!

The world premiere stage adaptation of the classic Ealing Comedy, which starred Alec Guinness.

Brought to life on stage by Olivier-nominated playwright Phil Porter, directed by Tony and Olivier-nominated Jeremy Sams, and starring acclaimed comic actors Miles Jupp and Justin Edwards.

This side-splittingly funny, fast-paced comedy tells the story of Henry Holland, an unassuming bank clerk who dreams of stealing the van full of gold bullion he drives across London each day.

Sunday, November 20 - Harry Hill: Pedigree Fun!

Harry Hill is back with brand-new amazing jokes in an all-singing, all-dancing one-man spectacular.

The award-winning TV comic said: "I hadn't realised how much I missed performing live until lockdown stopped me from doing it.

"It's great to be going back on stage and the good news is I am planning a very silly show."

Audiences will meet Harry's new baby elephant, Sarah, and Ian, The Information Worm.

November 22-26 - Mrs Warren's Profession

Caroline Quentin and her real-life daughter Rose Quentin star in George Bernard Shaw's acid test of a mother-daughter relationship.

Written in 1894 but banned for thirty years by a Lord Chamberlain who found it 'immoral and improper', Mrs Warren's Profession is a ripe attack on English hypocrisy and its 'fashionable morality'.

Mrs Warren's daughter Vivie has never really known much about her mother. How will Vivie react when she finds out the startling truth about her mother's business empire and the origins of money that has financed her comfortable upbringing.

Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond                                                                      

Previews begin November 19 – Arms and the Man

In the midst of a bloody central European war, a chance moonlit encounter throws together an idealistic young woman and a Swiss mercenary with an unexpectedly realistic attitude to soldiering.

Raina's youthful love for Sergius, the swashbuckling fighting hero of the Bulgarian army, is challenged when she learns more of the realities of war.

George Bernard Shaw's delightful romantic comedy was one of his first commercial successes and remains enduringly relevant.

Paul Miller directs in his final production as Artistic Director of the Orange Tree.
