Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – West Wickham Operatic Society
Join us as we delve into the vibrant production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, staged by the talented members of the West Wickham Operatic Society (WWOS). Founded in 1935, WWOS has a rich history of producing operettas and musicals. Over the years, they've evolved from classical European operetta to modern musicals, with productions staged at Bromley’s Civic Theatre. In 2002, they were invited to perform at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall, cementing their place as a beloved community theatre company. This spring, their rendition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factorypromises to be a spectacular mix of whimsy and wonder, showcasing their continued commitment to top-tier musical theatre.
The Fear of 13
Academy Award winner Adrien Brody makes his London theatre debut in The Fear of 13, a gripping new play based on the extraordinary true story of Nick Yarris. After being wrongfully convicted of murder, Nick spent 22 years on Death Row before making a shocking request: not to appeal his conviction but to set a date for his execution. Directed by Justin Martin, this play is an emotional and powerful exploration of justice, redemption, and the resilience of the human spirit. Based on the documentary film by David Sington, this world premiere promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience.
Stranger Things: The First Shadow
Step back in time to 1959 Hawkins, where it all began in Stranger Things: The First Shadow. This gripping prequel takes you to the origins of the beloved Netflix series, where young Jim Hopper, Bob Newby, and Joyce Maldonado deal with the regular worries of life—until new student Henry Creel’s arrival sets off a chain of events that will shape their futures. This landmark production, directed by Stephen Daldry and co-directed by Justin Martin, brings the Stranger Things universe to life on stage with stunning special effects and extraordinary performances. A must-see for fans of the series, this thrilling adventure reveals the haunting origins of the shadows that have been following Hawkins for decades.
