Two actors create a multitude of comic characters including chickens, nuns, squires and farmers in this hilarious tale of a far too cocky cockerel given his comeuppance by the lovelorn Pertelotte. With language reminiscent of Chaucer mixed with the playfulness of Stanley Unwin, this is a beastly babel-fable exploring themes of sexual jealousy and revenge. Not suitable for children |

As half of the Panic Brothers, with Hank Wangford's Lost Cowboys or in his own right, Reg Meuross is an engaging and charismatic performer. Recognised as one of Britain's finest singer-songwriters, he has performed solo and with the cream of Britain's roots musicians for two decades. Miranda Sykes continues to build an eclectic repertoire, and is increasingly in demand as a double bassist and singer. She is probably best known as the newest recruit to Show of Hands. |

Mary Robinson was a bold, extraordinary and beautiful 18th century celebrity poet who was shunned by respectable society. Coleridge described her opium-fuelled gothic verse as “genius”. This bawdy tale tells a true story of ripped corsets, surreal characters and big frocks. A fast and furious performance from the director of Peepolykus with saucy songs, live music and cast that looks amazing in corsets. |

Highly acclaimed and hugely successful in the West End and at the Edinburgh Fringe, “Lies Have Been Told” returns to the Rondo for one night only. Brilliantly performed by RSC and National Theatre actor Philip York, Rod Beacham's subtle and evocative play offers an insight into the mind of a man full of contradictions. Was Robert Maxwell the monster he's been painted or the victim of anti-Semitism and snobbery? Hear Maxwell give his own side of the story ... If, of course, you can believe a word he says. “Best show so far ... an astonishing portrait of Robert Maxwell.“ - The Daily Express. |
