Join 4th Wall Theatrics for A Summer Soirée: Musicals Through the Years — a spectacular musical journey through time! From the biblical storytelling of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to the Tudor queens of Six, the wartime wit of Operation Mincemeat, the iconic sounds of Rent and the sharp humour of Mean Girls, this vibrant concert celebrates the evolution of musical theatre through the ages.

Featuring a talented adult company alongside a charming children’s chorus, A Summer Soirée is a celebration of the musicals we know and love across the generations. Packed with iconic songs, dynamic performances, and something for every musical theatre fan, this uplifting concert promises an entertaining evening for audiences of all ages.

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is a modern drama set in the North of England about a shy girl, LV, who has the ability to mimic the amazing divas of the twentieth century from Judy Garland to Edith Piaf. This is a great talent to have – however not when you are living with an overbearing and loud mother, as well as in a house which is falling apart as much as her life around her after the death of her beloved Dad.

Presented by Blind Eye Productions

Described as “Downton Abbey with gardening tips”, Old Herbaceous is the humorous love story of a single-minded yet gentle man with a passion for plants and is a charming one man play which has entranced sell-out audiences all around the country over the last eight years.

An acute and sometimes hilarious observation of relationships between the classes in a simpler age, Old Herbaceous is sprinkled with witticisms and epithets. The evening blossoms into tender humour, much in the traditionally understated English style of the early 20th century.

As Old Herbaceous, renowned actor Giles Shenton truly lives the part of the legendary Head Gardener, Herbert Pinnegar, inviting you to feel included in a private chat from a bygone, comforting age. Keeping you engrossed, amused and emotionally engaged from start to finish, Old Herbaceous will leave you with a feeling that, perhaps, all’s right with the world.
