Autumn/Winter 2014

Chesterfield Theatres Development Programme

By mid September 2014, Chesterfield Borough Council will have completed the first phase of the ongoing development of Chesterfield Theatres, funded by Arts Council England and Chesterfield Borough Council. The purpose of carrying out this work is to enable the theatres to deliver a wider range of events and generate additional income to support their ongoing development. The first stage of the development includes:

Improved backstage and technical facilities at the Winding Wheel

Improved seating layout in the Winding Wheel Auditorium

Installation of digital projection equipment in the Pomegranate Theatre

Increased number of seats and refurbished the existing seating at the Pomegranate Theatre

Improved technical facilities at the Pomegranate Theatre

Theatre Restoration Levy As many customers are aware, in February 2014, Chesterfield Borough Council introduced a Theatre Restoration Levy of £1.50 per ticket on Council promoted professional events to fund ongoing improvements to the Theatres to make them fit for the future. We would like to thank you for your cooperation and support, as to date this has raised approximately £17,000. This money will go towards future improvements of both Theatres, including the foyers, bars, lifts, toilets and seating.

Autumn/Winter 2014 2 / 3

We would like to welcome you to Chesterfield Theatres – and the new autumn/winter programme.

During the last few months, we have been doing work at both theatres to improve our facilities so that we can extend the range and quality of performances.

At the Winding Wheel we have invested in a new stage and lighting, improved dressing rooms and improved theatre seating in the auditorium. Highlights of this season’s programme at the Winding Wheel include one of Britain’s leading orchestras the ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, the hit musical concert ROCK N ROLL HEAVEN, the new musical DREAMBOATS AND MINISKIRTS, and the celebrated FASCINATING AIDA.

At the Pomegranate Theatre we are installing digital projection equipment for film and live broadcast events, additional seats, a new lighting control room, and we are refurbishing existing seats and carpets. Highlights of the new programme at the Pomegranate Theatre include John Godber’s delightful APRIL IN PARIS, the return of the Agatha Christie Company in BLACK COFFEE with Hercule Poirot, two superb ballets, SWAN LAKE, and THE NUTCRACKER, and from the million selling author, and writer of the most terrifying stage play ever presented, Susan Hill’s THE SMALL HAND. Also don’t miss our celebration of cinema to launch our new film programme at the end of September.

Looking further ahead, make sure you book your tickets for this year’s pantomime CINDERELLA, which will star the queen of ballroom and Strictly Come Dancing winner CAMIILLA DALLERUP, and ASA ELLIOTT from ITV’s Benidorm.

We hope that you will continue to support the Theatres and we look forward to welcoming you soon.

Agatha Christie’s Black CoffeeHercule Poirot returns to the stage in Agatha Christie’s Black Coffee, now starring Jason Durr from ITV’s hit series Heartbeat in the role of the famous Belgian sleuth. Since Heartbeat Jason has appeared on television in Lewis, Midsomer Murders, and Miss Marple. Last seen on stage in the West End production of Noel Coward’s Volcano, Jason has also starred in Sherlock Holmes, Macbeth, and Losing Louis. Jason will be joined by Agatha Christie Company regulars Gary Mavers who is best known for playing heart-throb doctor Andrew Attwood in Peak Practice and Ben Nealon, perhaps best loved for his role as Capt Forsythe in the ITV drama Soldier Soldier. Also included in this year’s cast are Deborah Grant, who has starred in numerous television shows including Not Going Out, Peak Practice and Bergerac, Oliver Mellor, who for 4 years has played Dr. Matt Carter in Coronation Street, and Georgina Leonidas whose credits include playing the cursed Katie Bell in the last two Harry Potter movies.

A quintessential English country estate is thrown into chaos following the murder of eccentric inventor Sir Claud Amory, and the theft of his new earth shattering formula.

Arriving at the Estate moments too late, one man immediately senses a potent brew of despair, treachery, and deception amid the estate's occupants. That man is Hercule Poirot. In the first play ever written by Agatha Christie we are introduced to a character who went on to become the most famous detective of all time and the only fictional character ever to receive a full-page obituary in the New York Times.

Dreamboats and Miniskirts

The sequel to Dreamboats and Petticoats

What happened to ‘Bobby & Laura’ and ‘Norman & Sue’…?

‘THEIR STORY CONTINUES… INSPIRED BY THE 7 SMASH HIT MULTI-MILLION SELLING ALBUMS OF DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS.’

It’s 1963, and the world is changing. Bobby and Laura’s single “Dreamboats and Petticoats” has not taken off. Norman and Sue have settled down to non-marital bliss – and a baby! But Ray and Donna seem blissfully happy…

The advent of the Beatles and the Merseyside sound is inspirational.

But will it inspire Bobby and Laura to have one more shot at stardom – Norman to “get off the drains” and find that singing voice he has longed for, and Ray to realise his ambition and manage a really top pop act!?

All will be revealed in a follow up with the same wit, charm, and great songs as “Dreamboats and Petticoats”. Many of the songs are from the next period in pop history…

“Dreamboats and Miniskirts” the album will be released in summer 2014.

Featuring all your favourite 60s rock ‘n’ roll hits.
