Tonight – Lola Blau
Friday 7 to Sunday 30 January 2005
With Morag McLaren
Directed by Mark Tinkler

Choreographer Glen Snowden
Original music and lyrics by Georg Kreisler
in an English version by Don White
Performances by kind permission of Josef Weinberger
The ‘legendary’ 1959 Vienna concert.
Forced into exile (by the Nazis) in 1938, Lola Blau, outrageous star of cabaret,
stage and screen, made an unexpected return, 21 years later, to tour a series
of concerts in Austria. After just one sensational performance in the city of
her birth – Vienna - the tour, due to the uproar that ensued, was cancelled.
Never before, or since, has an Austrian artist made such an impact with just one
concert.
Morag McLaren and her band recreate the infamous evening of cabaret with Lola’s
daring, sexy and provocative hits from Vienna, Broadway and Hollywood.
Georg Kreisler’s songs tell her story in a near continuous flow of Kurt
Weill–style numbers, each cleverly evoking a mood, a period and a particular
environment in words and musical accompaniment.
Tonight – Lola Blau was first performed in Vienna and ran for 175 sold out
performances, the public everywhere have taken Lola Blau to it's heart, because
it is recognised instantly that Lola Blau's story is the story of the twentieth
century.

Mark Maier Objects
Tuesday 11 to Saturday 29 January 2005
Directed by Huw Thomas
This award winning show is a departure from the stand–up comedy Mark is
best known for. MARK MAIER OBJECTS is a joyously fascinating insight into the
world around us. Most people talk to objects; a car that’s run out of petrol,
a relentlessly dripping tap etc. In Mark’s life however, these objects talk
back. It’s a neurosis he’s had since birth. In this hilarious autobiographical
show you’ll soon discover, Mark is not alone.

‘Yet to be rewarded with his own television series. He should be.’
THE GUARDIAN
‘An hour of comedy that impressively stands out from the pack.’ THE

Pete ’n’
Me
Wednesday 2 February to Saturday 6 March
By Tim Marriott
Directed by Caitriona McLaughlin
Not only a reincarnation of Britain’s funniest and most influential comedian
and satirist, but also a darkly comic insight into the self destructive urges
of an alcoholic manic depressive.
Backstage, 1972, Pete is in his dressing room following a disastrous first night
of his new show with Dud, Behind The Fridge. Dud’s not talking to him, his
manager is furious, his wife is leaving him so the only person left upon whom
to vent his bilious spleen is a star struck assistant stage manager.
Whilst remaining an entirely original piece of work, PETE ’N’ ME takes
its inspiration from Peter Cook himself and the memories of those that knew him.
As such it is wry, poignant, acerbic and, at times, really quite rude.
‘Comic, tragic, touching and personal, this affectionate play opens more
wounds than we may care to heal.’ THE HERALD
Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm
Saturday and Sunday at 3.30pm
Tickets: £17 Concessions £13
