MAST Mayflower Studios is hosting a huge variety of shows this September – from a variety of music to a slapstick centre court comedy, for everything you wanted from a trip to the theatre.
Shows are as follows:
Crimes on Centre Court
Date: Thursday 7 – Saturday 9 September 2023
When Lord Knows – the chair of The Whombledun International Invitational Tennis Tournament – dies, his son, Hugh, is suspicious.
The police won’t take the case, so Hugh calls in private investigators Perry & Penny Pink, to get to the bottom of things.
What follows has all the hallmarks of New Old Friends’ brand of hilarity, as a cast of four performers play countless characters with quick-fire changes and quicker wits.
This show will rally your spirits and leave you wanting a second serve-ing of the volley of gags and visual delights.
Tongue Fu – How To Play a poem Like a Song
Date: Friday 8 September 2023
Poets, writers and storytellers take centre-stage, accompanied by the quick-witted musicians of the Tongue Fu band.
