Belts are being tightened and the country's long-suffering citizens are being told by the government that there will be fair shares for all in return for surviving Austerity Britain.

Meanwhile local officials feather their own nests by taking far more than their own fair share. It is of course 1947, and having won the war Britain seems to have lost the peace, and the country is staggering under the burden of acute rationing, unemployment and the coldest winter for decades. The only bright spark on the horizon is the impending marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

Twenty six years ago Alan Bennett and Malcolm Mowbray wove this story into a hilariously funny but sharply observed comic film called A Private Function, which centered around Betty, an adorable pig, who is being illegally reared to ensure the local dignitaries can celebrate the Royal Wedding with a lavish banquet while the local population make do with Spam. Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman have brilliantly adapted and expanded this story for the stage and George Stiles and Anthony Drewe have written a deliciously infectious, toe-tapping, retro contemporary score. The result is an utterly British musical, full of eccentric characters, such as the strange odd couple, Gilbert - an evangelistic chiropodist, and Joyce - a nobody determined to be somebody; Inspector Wormold - an obsessive destroyer of illegal meat; Mother Dear -'She's seventy four and ravenous'; along with a weird assortment of bullies, spivs and snobs and of course, our star, Betty the pig.

With a simply marvellous cast of great British actors headed by Sarah Lancashire and Reece Shearsmith, Betty Blue Eyes is like no musical you will have ever seen - but she is worth saving up for!

Having won the Olivier Award for the past two years for Best Musical Revival (Into the Woods 2010 and Hello, Dolly! 2009), this year's summer production is George and Ira Gershwin's hit musical comedy, Crazy for You. Starring Clare Foster and Broadway's Sean Palmer, the show is packed full of classic songs including 'I Got Rhythm', 'Someone To Watch Over Me', 'Embraceable You' and 'Nice Work If You Can Get It'.

The creative team from the multi-award winning production of Hello, Dolly! reunites, including director Timothy Sheader, choreographer Stephen Mear and designer Peter McKintosh.

From the Gothic surrounds of the Paris Opera House to the dazzling heights of New York's Coney Island - the Phantom returns. Andrew Lloyd Webber's spectacular new musical reunites the masked Phantom with his only true love and musical protégée, the stunning beauty Christine Daaé.

A smash hit on Broadway and in Chicago, the Tony® Award-winning MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET tells the electrifying story of the night ELVIS PRESLEY, JOHNNY CASH, CARL PERKINS and JERRY LEE LEWIS came together to make music, and ended up making history.

Inspired by the actual event, that took place on 4 December 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis, this ecstatic and engaging musical is a story of fame, friendship, discovery, divided loyalties, professional jealousy and incredible music as four of the music industry's most extraordinary talents, all in their creative prime, made music together for the first and only time in their careers.

The legendary meeting was masterminded by Sun Records' founder Sam Phillips, who discovered all four of the musicians, and brought Elvis Presley (and his then girlfriend) back to the recording studio that launched him to stardom. Together with Sun Records' fast-rising new superstar Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins, who was still chasing his next big hit after writing and recording Blue Suede Shoes, the fourth member of this impromptu 'quartet' was Phillips' latest signing, Jerry Lee Lewis.

The Woman in Black celebrating 20 terrifying years in the West End.

This summer The Woman in Black is celebrating its 20th birthday in the West End. Since 1989, over 7 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most exciting, spooky, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged.

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's best selling novel combines the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir. It is a formula that provides audiences with an evening of unremitting drama as they are transported into a terrifying and ghostly world.

The Woman in Black has been phenomenally successful, both as a novel and as a play. Susan Hill's book has been translated into several languages, while Stephen Mallatratt's stage adaptation has been playing continuously in London's West End for a remarkable twenty years.

Over 7 million people have seen the play, and many of them return to see it again and again. But what is the secret of its success? Why do readers and audiences continue to find The Woman in Black such a compelling experience? Susan Hill believes that the moral core of the story is a crucial part of its attraction. It is not simply a scary story; there is definitely a point to it. In the play Jennet Humfrye has a real reason for haunting: vengeance for the death of her child. She cannot forgive; she cannot move on; she has to remain in this terrible sort of hell, an endless recycling of the accident, the grief and the vengeance. She is caught in it forever. The moral point is that you have to let go. The grief and the blame have to stop. So it is quite a serious story. It is her tragedy really as she is caught in a time warp of endless grieving. For Susan Hill, one of the great things about the play is that it holds you in your seat - it rivets you, but when you come out, you think about it still. That's what all good theatre should do.
