Miss Dietrich Regrets
// 9-11 Apr

Monster In My
Piano // 11 Apr

Marlene Dietrich was one
of the most famous movie
stars of all time. She became
a legend, an icon, without
apparently ever growing old.
Miss Dietrich Regrets is a
revealing and poignant new
look at the aging Marlene,
alone in a Paris apartment,
battling with her daughter to
retain her independence to
the very end. This production
stars Elizabeth Counsell and
Moira Brooker.
7.30pm (Thursday and
Saturday matinees 2.30pm).
Price: £13.50 (opening night is pay what you can)

Monster In My
Piano is a family
tale with puppets,
animation and a

piano that has been
making strange
munching noises.
When he looks
inside he finds the
musical notes packing their bags!

Courtney Pine In Concert // 10 Apr
Pam Ayres // 13 Apr

Pam Ayres brings her latest show to The Hawth Crawley following the
recent publication of her new book of poetry, YOU MADE ME LATE
AGAIN! Pam Ayres’ work is funny, and approachable. Her hair-trigger
timing, her eye for the detail of everyday life, and for the absurdity therein,
makes for an art that hides art. Her books have been bestsellers for 40
years, and Pam is still a regular on Radio and TV, on programmes such as
Just A Minute, Loose Ends, six series of Ayres On The Air for Radio 4, the
Paul O’Grady Show, Alan Titchmarsh Show, Countdown, and The One
Show.
7.30pm. Price: £23
