The show runs from Wed 1st to Sat 4th June, 7.45pm  at Hampton Hill Playhouse, 90 High Street, Hampton Hill. Tickets cost £15 for adults, £12.50 for senior citizens & full time students & £10 for KVODS patrons.

 

HMS ‘Starship’ Pinafore takes the traditional story of HMS Pinafore and re-imagines it for the 21st century. The ‘ship’ of the original is now a starship. the crew is now a motley collection of aliens, androids and ‘other wordly’ types.

Prepare to be beamed on board for a galactic space opera like no other….

 

Also showing Trial by Jury. This classic tale is given an 80s makeover, complete with shoulderpads, tantrums and Dynasty style cliffhangers.

 

Whether you are a G&S afficionado or new to the world of Gilbert and Sullivan, this tribute to two of their best loved works will entertain, amuse and most definitely offend…. you have been warned!

 

Due to material content & language the show is only recommended for those 15 years & over, there is therefore no child price ticket for this show.

 

To book tickets please phone 07982 046210, email boxofficea(a)kvods.com or visit www.ticketsource.co.uk/kvods  (small booking fee applies). There is also a direct link to the online box office on the left hand side on this page.

We are also delighted to announce that to kick off our 70th anniversary year in 2013 we have decided to perform a play. We are thrilled to say we have been granted the rights to perform Calendar Girls. This wonderful play is on limited release for 12 months from 1 Sep 2012 and is currently on tour in the UK. A very British story, with a very British heart, the play is based on an uplifting and very inspiring true story that is quirky, poignant and hilarious. Our production will take place in Jan 2013. We will of course also be offering 2 great musicals in 2013 for the adult company.
 
Here is to the next couple of years!!
 
Julie
