Hever Castle, Hever, Edenbridge TN8 7NG
www.hevercastle.co.uk / 01732 865224 Three broken hearts, one Soho
hangout, and the only man who
could ever help them…
Welcome to the Preacher Man,
the swinging 1960’s Soho joint
where the kids danced the night
away to the latest crazes and dared
to dream of love, while the legendary
owner, The Preacher Man himself,
dispensed advice to cure the
loneliest of hearts. Only, that was a
long time ago and all that remains
are the memories, the stories and
the myths. Until now, that is, when three random strangers, generations
apart but all in need of help with their hopeless love lives, are inexplicably
drawn to the site of the original venue. The Preacher Man is long gone,
but his son, with help from the wonderful Cappuccino Sisters, might
just find it in himself to channel the spirit of The Preacher Man and
once more give these three lovesick strangers the look of love.
7.30pm (Thursday and Saturday matinees 2.30pm). Price: £21-£32

THE WEDDING SINGER // 5-9 SEP
It’s 1985. Hair is huge, greed is good and rock-star wannabe Robbie
Hart (Jon Robyns: Avenue Q, Legally Blonde) is New Jersey's fa vourite
wedding singer. When his own fiancée dumps him at the altar, a
seriously bummed out Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as
his own. Can sweet natured Julia, (Cassie Compton: X Factor) and her
best friend Holly lure Robbie out of the dumpster and back into the
limelight? Or is he going to see her head off down the aisle with Wall
Street bad boy Glenn (Ray Quinn: X Factor, Dancing On Ice)? Only
Grandma Rosie (Ruth Madoc: Hi-De-Hi!, Little Britain) seems to be able
to see that Robbie and Julia are the couple that are meant to be.
7.30pm (Wednesday and Saturday matinees 2.30pm).
Price: from £15
