Richmond Theatre

Sunday - Harris & Baker's Backstage Pass

Two of the nation's best broadcasters, Bob Harris and Danny Baker, have unparalleled experience of witnessing the great names of modern music up close – and they plan to spill the beans.

They have been back stage, front stage, at home and on the road with virtually every legend in the business.

Make no mistake, rock and soul music really did have a golden age and here are two storytellers who were there all along the way.

Thursday – Seven Drunken Nights tells the story of The Dubliners through a career spanning 50 years.

The hugely talented cast of musicians and singers bring the music of this iconic group back to life and will have you singing and dancing in the aisles.

Friday – Crooners - This comedy musical features music of the Rat Pack singers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, as well as Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin and Britain's very own crooner, Matt Monro.

Saturday – Fastlove – A Tribute to George Michael - Playing all the hits, from Wham right through his glittering solo career, including Wake Me Up, Freedom 90, Faith, Knew You Were Waiting, Careless Whisper and many more.

Orange Tree Theatre

Until April 16 – Tom Fool by Franz Xaver Kroetz.

A dark and unnervingly funny play about how capitalism creeps into the minutiae of one family's life.

Every night Martha listens to the minute details of husband Otto's day at the factory. He's a man with big dreams but is stuck in a job where he feels like a cog in the machine.

Their teenage son Ludwig just wishes he had a job, or at least his own space, far far away from his parents.

When money goes missing, a family on the brink hurtles over the edge, and Martha has to decide whether she will stay to pick up the pieces.
