The story Charles Dickens might have written after too much gin…

Follow half-orphan Pip and his friends as they battle evil guardians, hideous siblings, and disaster at every turn! Will virtue triumph? Will love conquer all?

Mark Evans' Bleak Expectations (performed by Richmond Amateur Dramatic Society) is a gloriously daft Dickensian romp, packed with villains, ridiculous names, wild plot twists, romance, death scenes, and hopefully a happy ending.

Based on the hit BBC Radio 4 series, the play premiered at The Watermill Theatre in 2022 and transferred to London's West End in 2023.

A chaotic, laugh-out-loud caper that will leave audiences begging for more!

Tickets £16-£18 from Box Office 01748 825252 or online: www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk

Richmond Operatic society brings the dark legend of Sweeney Todd to life in this gripping tale of obsession, vengeance, and grisly enterprise.

Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to 19th century London seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife.

The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up, and the carnage has only just begun!

Tickets £18-£21 from Box Office on 01748 825252 or online: www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk
