Eastbourne is in for a bumper season of entertainment with three of its big venues, the Congress Theatre, Devonshire Park Theatre and Winter Garden promoting their summer programmes.
Big West End musicals continue at the Congress with Let It Be, a celebration of The Beatles (June 1-4), The Bodyguard starring Alexandra Burke (June 7–18) and the Tony Award winning Avenue Q (July 5-9). Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats also makes a welcome return (August 22–27 ) as does cult rock n roll musical Rocky Horror Show (September 19–24).
At Devonshire Park Theatre there’s plenty of drama and thrills afoot, including Murder in the Park (June 14–July 9) and the chilling Night Must Fall (August 19–September 3). And if you fancy something lighter what about the classic comedy of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit (July 12 -16) or the frantically funny farce of Don’t Dress For Dinner (July 19– 30).
There’s also plenty on offer for children and families this summer. Highlights include Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale Jungle Book (May 17– 21) and CBeebies favourites Chris and Pui (June 5) both coming to Devonshire Park, while Mission Impudseyble (August 19-20) brings Britain’s Got Talent winner Pudsey the dog and owner Ashleigh to the Congress for a brand new interactive spy adventure suitable for the whole family.
Meanwhile, over at the Winter Garden Floral Hall there’s the promise of a unique theatrical experience as a new play, Kiss Me Quickstep (July 29– August 18) takes a look beyond the fixed smiles and fake tans in a behind-the-scenes drama about ballroom dancing competitions.
