Jesus Christ Superstar

THURSDAY 20th – SATURDAY 22nd February 7.30pm

& 2.30pm SATURDAY MATINEE

Told entirely through song, Jesus Christ Superstar traces the last seven days of the life of Christ as seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels, Superstar focuses on the personal conflicts between Jesus, his disciples, the leadership of Rome as well as Jesus’ relationship with Mary Magdalene.

Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice as a Rock Opera, the show quickly became a worldwide hit with West End and Broadway productions, countless tours and two film versions. The Iconic 70s score contains such well know songs as Superstar, I Don’t Know How To Love Him and Gethsemane.

Please note: Some scenes in the show could be upsetting for some members of our audience.

This is a Community Production Staged by our All-Inclusive Performers Group.

The Good Life-CADS

THURSDAY 6th – SATURDAY 8th MARCH at 7.30PM

MATINEE 2.30PM on SATURDAY

When Tom and Barbara Good decide to exchange the pressures of the rat race for an alternative, more sustainable way of living, they set about turning their suburban home in Surbiton into a model of self-sufficiency. They grow their own fruit and veg, keep livestock in the garden, make their own clothes, and even generate their own electricity from manure.

It’s the good life for them – but not for Margo and Jerry Leadbetter, who live next door, and are desperately trying to maintain the Surbiton status quo.

Jeremy Sams’ stage play, based on the hugely popular sitcom by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey, reunites the well-loved characters (not forgetting Geraldine the goat) as they get themselves into and out of scrapes – some old, some new, all hilarious.

Tapping into issues that resonate now more than ever, The Good Life is a witty reimagining of a television classic, with a wellyful of laughs that’s sure to delight audiences everywhere.

It was first produced by Fiery Angel on an extensive tour of the UK in 2021, directed by Jeremy Sams and starring Rufus Hound, Preeya Kalidas, Dominic Rowan and Sally Tatum.
