Pomegranate Theatre

• Fever Pitch, Nick Hornby 1 Feb to 3 Feb
  G & J Production starring Tom Watt ("Lofty" in "Eastenders"). A hilarious tale of a man utterly obsessed with football, told in 90 minutes of fast, funny, exhilarating theatre. A must for all addicts and their partners. (Contains strong language - not recommended for under 14s)
• Murder by Misadventure, Edward Taylor 6 Feb to 10 Feb
  Bruce James Production. Laughs, thrills and mind-boggling twists in this ingenious tale of TV script writers who fall out with each other! "It has a last scene denouement which turns every available table, until you are left giddy with bewilderment"
• Shirley Valentine, Willy Russell 13 Feb to 17 Feb
  Bruce James Production. Inside Mrs Joe Bradshaw - 42 year old mother of two grown up children - the former Shirley Calentine is longing to get out. Her first step towards breaking out of the mould, an unexpected Greek holiday, is shown with humour, sympathy and human insight.
• Cold Comfort Farm, adapted from Stella Gibbons comic novel. 20 Feb to 24 Feb
  Michael Friend Production. When Flora Post takes on the Starkadder Family - Amos preaching to the Quivering Brethren; Seth with his devastating effect on the local birthrate; Urk who talks to the water voles; fey young Elfine and Aunt Ada who 'saw something nasty in the woodshed' - it proves quite a challenge.
• 42nd Street, Lyrics by Al Dubin, Music by Harry Warner. 27 Feb to 2 Mar
  Book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble. Based on the novel by Bradford Ropes. Including the classic songs - "We're in the money"; "Lullaby of Broadway"; "Shuffle off to Buffalo"; "You're getting to be a habit with me" and many more! Amateur production.
• Oleanna, David Mamet 5 Mar to 9 Mar
  Tabs Productions presentation. Allegations of sexual misconduct, made by one of his students, threaten to destroy a professor's life - whether or not they have any foundation. This powerful adult drama has provoked fierce post-feminist debate ever since its first performance. "If you haven't seen it you can't argue about it".
• Deathtrap, Ira Levin 12 Mar to 16 Mar
  Award winning author Sidney has ceased to be successful. When unknown writer, Clifford, sends him an unpublished script for 'comment' the temptation to plagiarise its plot may prove too strong. Find out in an evening of gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter!
• Sleuth, Anthony Shaffer 19 Mar to 23 Mar
  In this brilliant who-dunnit no-one is quite who they seem and every event is bizarre. From the moment a famous mystery writer says to his guest "I understand you want to marry my wife" the two men are locked in mortal combat.
• Talent, Victoria Wood 26 mar to 30 Mar
  In the seedy green room of a Northern nightclub Maureen helps Julie to dress for a talent contest which could change her life. Victoria Wood's hilarious play with songs exposes the tat behind the glamour and the way friendship is put on the line by the promise of success.
