Top Hats and Tinsel – by the Rain or Shine Theatre Company will be performed at the Market Theatre, The Butts, Cowbridge on Twelfth Night - that is Thursday 5 January 2012, commencing at 7.30 sharp.
What better way to round off the Festive Season than with mulled wine and a delicious and delightful Old Tyme Music Hall Show.
Rain and Shine say…….
‘Join us this Merry Festive Season, for an evening of enigmatic entertainment, seasonal ‘sing-alongs’, and Music Hall Madness! In the style of ‘The Good Old Days’ we shall while away the Twelfth Night evening by celebrating magical moments of melody, mayhem and melodrama.
We invite you all to put on your Victorian ‘glad-rags’ and raise your voices high in celebration of the season, for YOU indeed are invited to JOIN IN too. (But that is not compulsory!)
And to round off the evening’s entertainment, the entire cast will perform especially for you the Rumbustious Victorian Farce… NURSEY CHICKWEED’
The show is suitable for all ages.
Normally known for their outdoor summer classics, Top Hats & Tinsel is Rain or Shine’s third Christmas show, and follows their hit productions of A Christmas Carol and The Canterville Ghost.
Tickets for this wonderful show by Rain and Shine are the same as they have been for their last two winter shows – that is £10 for an adult and £25 for 2 adults and 2 children under 14.
Please apply to Brenda Grove, 01446-772732 for tickets. You may also contact her by email readingdog@me.com
Please don’t leave it until the last minute to reserve your tickets. Book early, as they say, to avoid disappointment.
