Autumn 2019
Othello
It’s stormy outside. In here, tensions are simmering. As a touring swing band gather for their next performance, malevolent trickster Iago begins to sow the seeds of mistrust. Shakespeare’s tragedy of jealousy and deception is relocated to a jazz-age setting, with live music, intense drama, and more than a hint of our inimitable brand of theatrical mischief.

Cinderella
People of Bedford (and beyond)! You are cordially invited to Prince Charming’s Annual Ball 2019! Please dress to impress (no rags, no Buttons allowed, sensible footwear advised) and note that illegally parked pumpkins will be towed. The Pantaloons’ Cinderella is a traditional pantomime coming exclusively to The Place Theatre, Bedford this Christmas!

He is shunning his only living relative, underpaying his clerk and refusing to acknowledge the plight of the poor… but will timely visits from the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Future change his miserly ways before it’s too late?
