Engaged: an entirely original farcical comedy by W. S. GILBERT with Simon Cadell Sarah Badel
David McAlister Liza Flanagan and Anthony Newlands
Gilbert goes with Sullivan like bacon with eggs, yet here is not an opera but a play .by the famous librettist - an entertainment sans Sullivan in fact.
First performed at London's Haymarket Theatre in 1877, Engaged is about money and the sort of eligible young ladies and gentlemen who fell in love with, and schemed to marry the stuff, back in the passionate days of hansom cabs.
Incidental music composed and played by ROBERT DOCKER
Adapted and directed by JOHN CARDY

Graham Turner continues his investigation of class and its relevance to Britain in the 1980s.
3: Blue Collar and Old School Tie
Work has traditionally been the battleground of class - the workers and the bosses, them and us. Since the war, Britain's industrial landscape has been changed by the increased influence of the unions, new patterns of employment, and better material living standards. Is class, then, still a force to be reckoned with? Or is it an excuse for conflict?
