It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and where better to get into the festive spirit than at Wilton's Music Hall, where panto is back with a bang this year as Roy Hudd presents the mother of all pantos: MOTHER GOOSE.

From 27 to 30 July, Riverside Theatres will present an exciting co-production between Bell Shakespeare and Griffin Theatre Company, The Literati, a new translation of Moliere's Les Femmes Savantes by Justin Fleming.

One can simply never tell, when entering The Stables

The pursuit of an original idea is the most fruitless of our generation, it might perhaps be pertinent to say, as it is inferred in Justin Fleming's The Literati which itself is modernised after Moliere's 17th century comedy 'Le Femmes Savantes'. Premiered to the world at The Stables by a partnership of Griffin Theatre Company and Bell Shakespeare, what we have here is riotous, irreverent and cheesy good fun. We enter into the salon, exquisitely designed by Sophie Fletcher to dynamic effects, and are introduced to two polarised sisters. The younger, Juliet, seems set to marry Clint, the former lover of the elder Amanda, who spurned him in favour of intellectual pursuits in the image of their mother. Amanda and her mother oppose the coupling, due to their investment in the odious poet Tristan as suitor for Juliet, utterly manipulated by his pretentious prose. A domestic war is waged between sincerity and scholastics, and all done in Fleming's verse to seemingly effortless comedic effect.

While 2015 at the Old Fitz Theatre was filled with high-octane plays, domestic settings and masculinity to boot, 2016 will expand the horizons of the intimate 63-seat space with a season dubbed as BIG. BOLD. BEAUTIFUL. Each show programmed is bigger, be it size of cast, size of ideas, size of story, or size of location, however the deeply honest and truthful performances that have become a trademark of the Old Fitz Theatre will remain at the core of the company's focus.
