Comedy, corruption and sexy 1940s charm come to the Old Mill Theatre this June in the play Born Yesterday.

Written by Garson Kanin – responsible for many Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn films – it follows the uncouth, corrupt and rich junk dealer Harry Brock and what happens when he brings his showgirl mistress Billie Dawn to Washington DC.

The Dumb Waiter is a one-act play by 2005 Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter written in 1957.

There's Gus and Ben. A basement in Birmingham. Two men await instructions for the next job. Gus needs matches. Ben has a newspaper. Both men have revolvers.

"Love And Perfect Harmony" is the fourth play by English playwright Raymond Hopkins performed by Endeavour Theatre Company. The action of this play takes place in the local community hall in the south of England, where the local choral society holds its rehearsals. The chois is nominated to take part in a competition in Austria, and the bossy Edith, who expects to take the solo role at the competition, is outvoted in favour of a newcomer, Carrie, who is a much better singer. But when Carrie withdraws, they have to persuade Edith to come back. There are lots of twists and turns, and amusing situations, especially with the secret romance between Edith's daughter, Jenny, and Hugh, another member of the choir, and Carrie's attraction to the shy choirmaster. NOTE: There is a Matinee performance on Sunday 5th May at 2.30pm

A bold and brash musical – with big hearts and beehives – will make Limelight Theatre’s stage come alive this June.

When her dream comes true, she becomes an overnight celebrity and launches a campaign to let the African-American teens dance with the white kids.
