Coach House Theatre, Malvern
Last Tango in Little Grimley / The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley
The Swan Theatre Amateur Company (STAC) will be presenting two of David Tristram’s popular one-act plays, Last Tango in Little Grimley and The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley at the Swan Studio, Worcester from Wednesday 12th March to Saturday 15th March at 7.45pm.
The four members of the Little Grimley Amateur Dramatic Society committee are desperate to come up with a play that will attract bigger audiences, so their enthusiastic Chairman and director, Gordon, persuades them to be more adventurous. "There's only one thing that sells tickets these days" he argues, "Sex!". We witness the chaotic and hilarious build-up to an evening of extraordinary home-grown drama, as diva Margaret, timid Joyce and reluctant Bernard are drawn into producing an event the locals will never forget.
Following their sizzling success, the team are faced with a new battle when a rival am-dram group starts up in the village. Determined to upstage them with an award-winning musical, our resilient quartet pull together to devise an ingenious military-style operation that doesn't go quite to plan. Add in a few emotional complications for Gordon, and things look a little grim for Little Grimley. Could this finally be the end of their society?
Tickets are £14.00, available from Worcester Theatres online, Huntingdon Hall box office - 01905 611427, or at The Swan Theatre from 7.15pm for that night’s performance only, subject to availability.

Ordinary Days
Ordinary Days The Musical is returning to The Old Joint Stock Theatre for a limited engagement next April and then transferring to Upstairs at the Gatehouse in London.
Playing at the Old Joint Stock Wednesday 9th April to Sunday 20th April 2025 and to Upstairs at the Gatehouse Tuesday 22nd April to Sunday 27th April join us for a heartfelt and life affirming evening that will leave you laughing one second and crying the next.
Following the tremendous success of The Old Joint Stock Theatre’s five-star summer show First Date, which garnered rave reviews and sold-out performances, The Old Joint Stock, now in collaboration with West End Best Friend Productions, is back with another must-see production.
About the Show:
Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfilment, happiness, love, and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humour and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.
Ordinary Days The Musical is brought to life under the direction of Karl Steele, with associate director Emily Susanne Lloyd and produced by the Old Joint Stock and West End Best Friend.
Director Karl Steele Commented:
“There is something beautifully subtle about Ordinary Days and I’ve had the pleasure of directing this piece previously. I've loved exploring how a shared experience, a connection, a coincidence can form in any way during your everyday routine and how that can bring people together. The ordinary being extraordinary. What's wonderful about this piece is finding those layers and revealing how connected we all are without always being aware of it.”

3rd July 2025
Old Joint Stock Theatre
Second Summer of Love
SECOND SUMMER OF LOVE is an uplifting, high-energy, physical-theatre comedy.
Original raver, Louise, wonders how she went from ecstasy-taking idealist to respectable, disillusioned, suburban mum…? Written and performed by Emmy Happisburgh, the play premiered as a one-woman performance at Edinburgh Fringe 2022. Now, with direction by Scott Le Crass, this refreshed version is a three hander. On the present evening we meet MOLLY (played by Rosa Strudwick; Emmy’s real-life daughter) and BRIAN (Christopher Freestone) as, triggered by her daughter’s anti-drugs homework and at peak mid-life crisis, LOUISE flashes back to the emotional happenings of the week and then further to the early 90’s rave scene.
This play addresses the universal themes of coming of age and fulfilling potential whilst offering a new perspective for conversations about recreational drug use and embracing mid-life.
“some memories around Sterns nightclub in Worthing (which Carl Cox once called “100% equivalent to the Hacienda”) wove themselves into this play, Second Summer of Love. It is not a ‘true story’ but it is inspired by real life events and real people from when I was luckily, and very accidentally, right in the middle of the rave zeitgeist. It’s not a tale I’ve seen authentically told in theatres; especially not by a mid-life woman. I am grateful to bring the “one love” message of the original rave movement to the stage. I’m excited to play several different characters using the physical skills of Le Coq again and genuinely overjoyed to be in scenes opposite the other two actors.” Emmy Happisburgh
Scott says, "I'm excited to direct Second Summer as it's a fresh voice. It's a perspective which I've never seen on stage. Older female voices are something we need to champion more and in a way which is strong, dynamic and playful. This play embodies that."
The majority of SECOND SUMMER OF LOVE uses just an empty space with only one, prop-free actor (except for a bucket hat and a couple of glow-sticks). One performer pulls an audience into a whole world that they have created single-handedly.

Regal Theatre Tenbury
Night in the Canyon
This homage to the golden age of American(a) music, 'A Night In The Canyon' features the timeless songs of James Taylor, Carole King, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Buffalo Springfield, Eagles, Joni Mitchell and more.
If that's not enough, the show will be performed by an unrivalled trio of noted high calibre artists in their own right. Namely Robbie Cavanagh (Winner of the Whispering Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award), Eddy Smith about to headline, in his own right, the famous 'Jazz Cafe' (where the likes of Bobby Womack, Chaka Khan and many more household names), and Jana Varga(Emerging Artist nominee, UK Blues and Roots) who is now in the band of (triple platinum and double Brit nominee) Rumer and Jana will also be opening for Rumer at a now sold out gig at the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Hall. So, not a show by your average, workmanlike, musicians!
As such, this is not a tribute show in the traditional sense of the word, but more the artists themselves performing their own takes, both individually and collectively, on these timeless classics of the late 60s/early 70s American songbook, together with an award winning song of two of their own, inspired by this legendary period of celebrated music.
