    Guildford Fringe Theatre Company announce two live shows

    With pantomime season being cancelled up and down the country, it’s really great to see at least two are still going ahead in Surrey this Christmas, both from the capable hands of Guildford Fringe Theatre Company. Whilst a little out of our usual London catchment area, we all need some good news about panto season, don’t we?

    First up is the family offering of Beauty and the Beast. This will be playing at The Borough Hall, Godalming, from 12 – 26 December.

    Tickets for this can be purchased at www.GodalmingPanto.com

    The second show, D!CK The Adult Panto, is distinctly for the grown-ups. You can catch this at The Back Room of The Star Inn, Guildford, from 25 November – 9 January. This will be the ninth Adult Panto for Guildford Fringe, following sell-out success in recent years. 

    Each theatre venue will operate at a greatly reduced capacity to allow for social distancing. Face coverings will be mandatory. Group bookings will allow a maximum of 6 people to sit together. For full details of health and safety measures, visit www.GuildfordFringe.com.   More

    News: BAC announces exciting new season

    This season is also about radiating some LOVE into the world.Tarek Iskander, Artistic Director and CEO, BAC

    Even during lockdown the team at Battersea Arts Centre has been busy with online and community-based activities. But theirs really is a building that shouldn’t be left standing quiet for too long, so it’s an absolute pleasure to share the news of their upcoming season of events. These will be a mix of both live and online shows, and quite frankly, there is so much to choose from we really recommend you head to their website to check it all out.

    The main season is entitled Make/Love, which is, in their own words, “an ambitious season of daring and intimate work“. With show titles such as Come To Bed With Me, Sex With Cancer and We Will Still Breathe, it seems safe to say that BAC is, as ever, aiming to be creating the conversation around us.

    The summer’s successful Comedy in The Courtyard shows are being brought indoors, so what else could they be called but Live from the Grand Hall? There will be a good selection of comedy and live music, all livestreamed into your home.

    It might be a cliché, but there really is something for everyone this autumn. What’s even more amazing is that many of the announced events will be free.
