HMS PINAFORE
2019-05-01 19:30 - 22:00, 2019-05-02 19:30 - 22:00, 2019-05-03 19:30 - 22:00, 2019-05-04 13:30 - 16:00, 2019-05-04 19:30 - 22:00 | The Arts Theatre, 53 Angus Street, Adelaide, SA, 5000, Australia
Last seen in its entirety in the Society’s 2008 production, HMS Pinafore is Gilbert & Sullivan’s first blockbuster initially playing in both England and America.
Unlike its predecessor The Sorcerer, it is a tale of love that crosses both class and rank. A lowly sailor in love with the Captain’s daughter, who is promised to a British lord who has been promoted to run the British Navy but has never been to sea. What could possibly go wrong???
This production uses the original words and music but has been given some new twists by TASA Bravo award winner and well-known director/actor Barry Hill, musical director Jacqui Maynard, fresh from her musical contribution to The Stirling Player’s production of Nell and Celeste Barone, choreographer for The Met’s High Society last year.

Rookery Nook
2019-05-06 19:30, 2019-05-08 19:30 | SA
Synopsis
Newlywed Gerald has arrived to stay at ‘Rookery Nook’, a holiday cottage, presided over not only by a harridan of a housekeeper, Mrs. Leverett but worse, by his sister-in-law Gertrude.
After Gerald has gotten rid of everyone for the night a pretty girl turns up in nothing but pyjamas, demanding to be rescued from her tyrannical German stepfather. So, compromising a scenario must be kept secret at all costs. All would be fine were it not for nosy neighbours, dastardly friends, fearful relatives and impending wives.

Don Juan in Soho

“He’d do it with anything … a hole in the ozone layer”.
The Theatre Guild opens its 2019 season with Don Juan in Soho, written by Patrick Marber in 2006, inspired by Molière’s 1665 comedy and revised and updated by Marber in 2017 to include contemporary references.
DJ, a “true poet of the flesh”, is living it up in modern day Soho, sleeping his way through endless conquests with no thought to the consequences. He is utterly reprehensible and indefensibly filthy – “Satan in a suit from Savile Row” – and his long-suffering assistant Stan can barely keep up with covering his tracks. But by abandoning his new bride Elvira on their honeymoon, our anti-hero DJ goes too far, incurs the wrath of her brothers and is forced to confront his actions. Then all hell lets loose!
Marber’s play is overtly and unashamedly raunchy, full of foul language and frequently shocking behaviour. It’s a hilarious satire on the idiocies of our age, notably our obsession with ourselves, our expectation that every whim will be catered for and our need always to be the centre of attention.
“Please don’t be charmed. He is not a loveable rogue. He really isn’t.”
Warning Message: A contemporary play containing coarse language and simulated acts of a sexual nature which some people may find confronting. For mature audiences only.
