The Show Must Go On!!

Due to recent electrical maintenance here at The Dukes, Wednesday's matinee performance of My Mother Said I Never Should was shrouded in darkness. But the show must go on, and our talented and resourceful creative and stage team were on hand with head torches and emergency lighting (and a labyrinth of extension cable) to save the day, and see it go ahead without incident. Their mothers obviously told them to always keep a cool head under pressure!

My Mother Said I Never Should enters its final week at The Dukes this Saturday. Tickets are still available if you fancy popping down!

Curtains Raised!

Rehearsals are over, the stage set and the curtain finally raised on Charlotte Keatley's My Mother Said I Never Should.

The early reviews are coming steadily in, and tickets are still selling fast as we near the mid-point of the February show schedule here at The Dukes.

And don't forget we still want to hear from you and any of your mother's wise (or pehaps unwise!) words of wisdom on our blog!
