Synopsis: | The life and times of Judah Ben-Hur, whose extraordinary journey takes him from wealthy merchant to galley slave to champion charioteer and witness at the Crucifixion, will be recreated by the people of Bath in one of the most astonishing productions ever staged at the Theatre Royal. Originally published as a novel in 1880 by American General and author, Lew Wallace, it was William Wyler's 1959 film which starred Charlton Heston in the title role, and won no less than 11 Academy Awards, which really caught the public's imagination. Now this monumental tour-de-force will be staged in the glorious arena of the newly-restored Theatre Royal Main House. A cast of more than 300 of your relatives, friends and neighbours will be working alongside a professional production team to create one of the most visually exciting and theatrically impressive productions your family is ever likely to see, an epic in every sense. | |||||

Synopsis: | How far can you see? A mile? A hundred miles? Or to the furthest shores of the Universe to a far away galaxy? It's Max's job to ask the cosmic questions. Passionate about astronomy, he works as the narrator at the city's Planetarium where he challenges his dwindling audiences with the mysteries of the stars and science. But in a society polluting the night sky with light and happier to explore the heavens on a smartphone he feels increasingly out of place. When his own life takes an unexpected turn, Max discovers that seeing doesn't necessarily bring insight and that understanding the universe requires a different kind of vision. . . Going Dark is a one-man show, set in a planetarium, devised by Sound&Fury. Using innovative immersive surround sound design, total darkness and imaginative lighting, it reawakens our wonder at the cosmos and reveals how one man's vision becomes illuminated by darkness. | |||||

Based on the extraordinary true story of Ivan Mishukov, Ivan and the Dogs is a spellbinding story of survival, conjuring the streets of Moscow in the 1990s through the eyes of a child. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Shakespeare | |||||
Synopsis: | A fairy queen and king argue ruthlessly and the world turns upside down - and Puck - the fairy devil with a cheeky glimmer in his eye - doesn't help. The mortal Kings and Queens play the parent card and deny their daughters the boyfriends of their choice. And Puck really doesn't help. Bottom the Weaver is to perform in a play at the palace and play all the parts himself. He's not a very good actor so that should be a laugh. Puck really, really doesn't help. In fact, thanks to Puck, these young lovers give each other serious grief and the glamorous fairy queen falls in love with a donkey! Did you ever?! Really, grown-ups in love make such fools of themselves! With songs, puppets and knockabout humour Shakespeare's story is faithfully adapted for a young audience losing none if its poetry, magic and beauty and, amazingly, is performed by just four actors. Age 7+ | |||||

Synopsis: | Bath's egg theatre explodes into a riot of colour, song and gothic fantasy in their Christmas production, The Nutcracker. Written in 1816 by German novelist E.T.A. Hoffman,The Nutcracker and the Mouse King was never intended for a child audience: with its grotesque, seven-headed Mouse King and a gruesome attack upon an infant, the bleak, gothic pessimism of the original has little in common with the sugar-plum, happy-ever-after sweetness of the obligatory yuletide ballet. | |||||
