Fall into Autumn 2010 at the Gulbenkian
Gulbenkian Theatre,
Ardal O’Hanlon, Rich Hall, Georgie Fame,
Steven Berkoff and The Thick of
It’s Chris Addison are just some
of the big names who will be appearing at the Gulbenkian Theatre this
season. Read on to discover more about what’s on offer in this exciting and
diverse season:
Get set to be entertained by the musical genius that is cellist Robert Cohen, the musical stars of
tomorrow with Marlowe Young Musician of
the Year 2010 and then take a trip back in time to the Swing era with The Railway Swing Band. Join the feast of global music with the Maridadi Singers and Drummers, the
Albert Hall sell-out Show of Hands with Miranda Sykes and
rock out with the UK’s leading interpreters of Jimi Hendrix’s music The Hamsters. Get into the Christmas spirit with The Albion Band’s Christmas show and Richard Durrant’s Christmas Show Recital.
The Gulbenkian continues its reputation of bringing you the
best comedy the country has to offer as we present Micky Flanagan, comic ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, Julian Clary,
Tommy Tiernan, Brendon Burns, Greg Davies and musical satirist Mitch Benn
and the Distractions among others. Not
forgetting The Funny Side Comedy Club,
every last Wednesday of the month whose resident MC Kevin Precious will be performing his own stand up Christmas
Special Not Appropriate in December.
For our young audience members The Gulbenkian has scoured the
country for the best in children’s theatre, including feathery fun Don’t
let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, the spellbinding Room on the Broom from Tall Stories, the company who brought
us The Gruffalo and Theatre of Widdershins return with Arabian
Nights: The Lost Tales of
Sheherazade. What’s more, the
snowy spectacular Stick Man is back as part of our Christmas Season!
Drama is also on the bill with classics such as Harold Pinter’s The
Caretaker, Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, Hamlet as you have never
seen it before in Kupenga Kwa Hamlet
and OperaUpClose’s La Bohème is a modern
interpretation not to be missed!
Additionally, The Gulbenkian welcomes two profound, educational
shows from Theatre Unlimited, Defying Hitler and Not
About Heroes are an engaging personal human insight into momentous
historical events.
The Gulbenkian is pleased to welcome back a variety of
performances as part of Canterbury Festival 2010. Highlights include Hit
Me! The Life and Rhymes of Ian Dury, one man show The Confetti Maker, the
brilliant Linda Marlowe in The World’s Wife and the compelling sequel to the much loved novel War Horse, Farm
Boy.
