Richmond Theatre
Until Saturday, June 25 – Michael Morpugo's Private Peaceful
The Peaceful brothers, Tommo and Charlie, have a tough rural childhood facing the death of their father, financial hardship and a cruel landlord.
Their fierce loyalty to each other pulls them through, until one day they both fall for the same girl. And then the Great War comes.
We join 18 year old Private Tommo Peaceful in the trenches as he tells us a story of courage, devotion and sibling rivalry on what may be his last night on earth.
Acknowledged by Michael Morpurgo as his favourite work, this professional premiere is a new ensemble-version by Simon Reade. It tells the story of a country lad fighting a war he doesn't understand for people he cannot respect.
Tuesday, June 28 – Saturday, July 2 – The Rise and Fall of Little Voice
The Olivier Award-Winning comedy-drama from Jim Cartwright has earned international acclaim across the globe, including a Golden Globe winning smash-hit film starring Jane Horrocks and Michael Caine.
The stage adaptation stars Christina Bianco as the multi-talented Little Voice alongside Shobna Gulati and Ian Kelsey.
Little Voice leads a quiet and unassuming life, seeking companionship and joy from music's most iconic singers, whilst her mother, Mari, prefers the sound of her own voice, indulging in a life of booze, cheap thrills and seedy men.
Left to her own devices, LV starts to embody the famous divas she plays on repeat, swapping the grey backstreets of Northern England for the bright lights of Hollywood and Broadway, all from the safety of her own bedroom.

Orange Tree Theatre
Until July 23 – The False Servant by Pierre Marivaux, translated by Martin Crimp
When a man thinks he can cynically take a rich woman's money and then run off with an even more lucrative potential fiancée, he had best not tell the fiancée by mistake.
Le Chevalier, a woman disguised as the son of an aristocrat, embarks on a plan that will expose the dark heart of this male power-play.
This version by Martin Crimp – an addictively adult comedy - was acclaimed at its 2004 National Theatre premiere for its 'thrills, chills and belly laughs'.
Crimp's prolific international career began at the Orange Tree Theatre, including our recent hit revival of Dealing with Clair.
It is directed by Paul Miller and follows his acclaimed production of Marivaux's The Lottery of Love.
Until July 22 - A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare
In a galaxy far far away, a duke has won a queen in a war, a father disowns his daughter because she's in love with the wrong man and a fairy king has his ego bruised and wants revenge on his wife.
OT Community's new project Play On takes the success of Primary Shakespeare and Shakespeare Up Close and deepens the engagement with the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is accompanied by workshops, which will introduce the play to students.
