Success for the thousands of locals who turned out for Dunstable Town Council’s Fun Day in The Park on Saturday, and despite the cold wet weather, and in the shadow of The famous Grove Theatre, a hundred or more side-shows were there to be enjoyed. Forthcoming attractions at The Grove Theatre include: Bradley Walsh, Hi-De-Hi! Westcoast, Jimmy Greaves, and many, many more!

The Nutcracker…

The Grove Theatre in Dunstable England

It was a wonderful evening of entertainment at The Grove Theatre Dunstable England; when Marilyn and myself attended The Russian State Ballet Academy of Perm performance of ‘The Nutcracker’ recently.

The Christmas story is based on “The Nutcracker and The King of Mice” written by E.T.A. Hoffmann. It tells the story of Marie, a rather sad little girl, whose godfather Drosselmeier gives her a nutcracker as a present on Christmas Eve. It turns into a prince who invites her on a journey into the Sugar Plum Fairy’s Land of Sweets. Marie celebrates with a sumptuous party together with her godfather and the nutcracker prince.

Strictly Murder!

The Grove Theatre

Nic Barclay as Peter Meredith was compelling watching in Brian Clemens ‘Strictly Murder’ at The Grove Theatre Dunstable recently, and Katie Funk was somewhat dramatic as Peter’s wife Suzy Hinchcliffe. The Half Wit Josef was full of reaction and enacted by David Rumelle. whilst Ross was played with a masterful upper class accent by Mark Moraghan, and Jasmine Darke gave a wonderful tweedy Hattie Jacques ’take-on’ in the character of Miriam Miller. The production was by Bruce James… You see, you don’t have to sit in front of Eastenders every night! Live Theatre is still alive… and kicking!
