Richmond Theatre

David Suchet makes his eagerly-awaited return to UK stages in 'Poirot and More, A Retrospective'.

The actor reveals his secrets in a question and answer show that takes the audience though a career filled with award-winning roles and, dominated, in recent years by the global success of his performance as Hercule Poirot.

For over 25 years he captivated millions worldwide as Agatha Christie's elegant Belgian detective.

The Emmy award-winning actor has been celebrated for his portrayal of iconic roles such as a majestically funny Lady Bracknell to Cardinal Benelli and Freud.

Sir David has also graced the world's stages bringing literary greats to life, including Shakespeare, Wilde and Albee.

He said: "Live theatre has always been very close to my heart. This show is my way of connecting and saying hello to people after this terrible period and welcoming them back into the theatre. I am looking forward to sharing my memories, stories and favourite moments."

We Gather

Do you know your Cha Cha Cha from your Jive?

This Saturday, Strictly Come Dancing professional, Andrew Cuerden, will be offering tips and technique to participants in the latest We Gather events on Whittaker Avenue.

Andrew is not only a former Strictly Come Dancing professional but was a top international Latin competitive dancer and performer.

Now based locally in Richmond he offers private and group classes in dance and yoga as well as integrative dance therapy as part of Soulhub team of wellbeing specialists.

There are two exciting opportunities to strut your stuff this Saturday with one session starting at 4pm and another later at 6pm.

Over the past few weekends, Whittaker Avenue has been brought to with arts and culture by BeRichmond through the funding and support of Richmond Council, the Mayor of London, the ERDF and LEAP.

The programme has included a wide range of workshops, storytelling, performance, art and music with a backdrop of the river and magnificent buildings.
