OK, the season of mellow fruitfulness has passed, but what a feast is here…
Visit The Adelphi with Kevin Cadwallender, or venture forth, Night Walking, with Sarah Maclennan. Discover The Departed from Janine Pinion and The Ring and the Rope from Nessa O’Mahony. Matt Simpson is Listening in on the Train into Town, while you can enjoy a Tête a Tate with David Annwn, and let Colin Watts tell you all about Me and Pablo at the Casa (him, that is). Ade Jackson got us in a seasonal mood with A Child is Born - but just why is Aileen La Tourette playing about with a Mail Order Doll?
