Young Dick Barton - The Devil Wears Tweed
12 December - 22 February
Young Dick Barton - The Devil Wears Tweed celebrates the tenth
anniversary of the Croydon Warehouse Theatre's hugely successful
series. This is a loving pastiche of the 1947-1953 flagship BBC Radio
programme Dick Barton: Special Agent when daily at 6.45pm Britain
would grind to a halt as everyone rushed indoors to turn the wireless
on.
This new episode takes Dick back to his early days travelling from
stiff upper lip 1930s Britain to Australia via Arabia trying to
unravel the decipher and foil another evil plot. A legendary tweed
suit promises its wearer ultimate power. Dick must scour the globe to
reunite the pieces of the mysterious suit, to stop it falling into the
wrong hands – and to win the girl of his dreams.
With non-stop action The Devil Wears Tweed features new songs, brings
back favourite characters and introduces familiar faces from the past
– from Hollywood's Irving Berlin to cricket hero Don Bradman.
"An energetic and talented cast tell this tale of derring-do with
great aplomb. As well as delivering virtuoso comic performances, they
also sing with vigour, and even double up as the band for the musical
numbers - such dashed good fun!' The Times on a previous episode

AU REVOIR ST PANCRAS
Dear Raphael,
I'm leaving, Je rentre à Paris
London wasn't quite the place and time for me
It has been fun and the settings were superb
Still it was a thrill without a good deserve.
Au revoir St Pancras
Let's just face it
I'll never fit in here
So Good bye St Pancras
See you Paris
Love has disappeared
Imaginer Arriver là-bas
Gare Du Nord my favorite place on earth
I love it there and I'll catch up with mes amis
And take a deep breath when I cross Place d´italie
Au revoir St Pancras……
Je pars mon amour mon ami
Admit you weren't quite the man for me
I had a ball but your company reserved
I'd tell you If only I had the nerve
J'taime J'taime J'taime J'taime
J'taime a poedre hàlene
Au revoir St Pancras…..
Please tell me, one day you'll call me
All my love Cecile xxx

I Found My Horn
Tristan Bates Theatre
1 - 20 December
A man wakes up at forty to a broken marriage, a beckoning bedsit, and
the realisation that he has done nothing to make himself memorable.
Then he clambers into the attic... After a lay-off of 25 years, he
seeks redemption via the sixteen feet of treacherous brass tubing he
never mastered in his youth. Resuming his old French horn, he sets
himself an impossible task: to perform a Mozart concerto in front of a
paying audience of horn fanatics.
Jonathan Guy Lewis plays Jasper Rees - and everyone he encounters - on
this voyage of musical discovery, from his old school conductor to the
greatest German soloist since the war. And, of course, Mozart.
Directed by Harry Burton, adapted from the Radio 4 Book of the Week by
Jasper Rees and Jonathan Guy Lewis. A Sweet Spot Production.
The Tristan Bates Theatre from 1 to 20 December 2008.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 7.30 pm
Thursdays – Saturdays at 7.30 and 9.15pm.
