The summer season will also feature a varied and exciting programme of shows from visiting companies, including:
Alive and Brel - postponed from last year’s Bath Fringe festival, the finest songs from the iconic master of the modern chanson, Jacques Brel, are brought to life when this trio of singers perform their cabaret revue.
Queen Margaret - presented by Downpour Theatre Company, this show, inspired by Shakespeare's tetralogy, uses original Shakespearean text alongside new dialogue to retell the Wars of the Roses through the eyes of Margaret of Anjou.
Captain Breadbeard’s Bready Brilliant Comedy Cookbook - a surreal 2-handed comedy sketch show about a sailor with a beard made of bread, and his sidekick, Davy Scones. Fast-paced, pun-tastic and fun for the whole family.
Kate Bush Stripped! - from the Kate Bush tribute band Moments Of Pleasure: The Music Of Kate Bush. Hear the passionate and stunningly authentic vocals of Lisa-Marie Walters together with 'stripped back' piano arrangements by Mark Feven.
