Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds

 

Wednesday 4th May, 7.30pm – The Johnny Cash Story
Since appearing on BBC television at the age of 14 singing The Tennessee Flat Top Box, Roger Dean has been playing Cash’s music most of his life.

Along with his band the ‘The Lazy Boys’ he will keep you spellbound with his knowledge of the country music legend. Between singing classic numbers such as Big River, Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, Sunday Morning Coming Down and Hurt, Dean describes Johnny’s rise from poverty stricken beginnings in rural Arkansas to world stardom.

 

Tuesday 24th – Thursday 26th May – The Man With The Flower In His Mouth
Join us before the show for a delicious pre-performance dinner at 6.30pm. Show starts at 8.30pm.

In the intimate setting of the Greene Room Bar, Metta Theatre brings you a playful new adaptation of Pirandello’s classic short play. A foray into the darkness (and light) of a man whose salvation can only be found in the power of imagination…

 

Friday 27th May 7.30pm – Monteverdi’s Flying Circus
Inspired by the work of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, and with a new script from Kit Hesketh-Harvey, Armonico Consort present Monteverdi’s three surviving operas; L’Orfeo, Il ritorno d’Ulisse and Poppea in one hugely entertaining evening. The most striking and beautiful music from these great works is performed, brought together by a narrator presenting a synopsis of each tale. Illustrated by elements of puppetry, circus skills and dance and performed in English, this is an evening suitable for the whole family. A semi-staged version will be available for performances in venues without the technical capabilities to put on the fully staged work.

Sunday 29th May 2.30pm – Sir Stirling Moss Obe – His Cars – An Exhibition
An outdoor exhibition of racing cars, a number of which Sir Stirling Moss has driven, including the Porsche RS61 (seen in public for the first time since it was raced), the C Type Jaguar and Maserati 300S which were driven by Moss in numerous races and the Cooper Monaco owned and raced by him in the 50’s’.
