Sasha Regan's all-male Gilbert and Sullivan productions have become nothing short of legendary, so when it was announced that she was directing an all-male production of H.M.S Pinafore, despite trying to be open minded I arrived at the Union Theatre with very high expectations.

Ben Vivian-Jones to star in Valley Boy City Life at the Union Theatre

On Sunday 22nd September 2013, Ben Vivian-Jones (pictured right) will star in Valley Boy City Life at the Union Theatre.

Valley Boy City Life is musically, comedic evening which follows a young boy's virginal voyage up the M4 motorway to the Big Smoke (via the West Country). Join Vivian (played by Ben) in his search for fame, fortune and "a couple more F's"...

The evening features music by Stephen Sondheim, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stiles and Drew, Brunger and Cleary, Pasek and Paul, Jonathan Reid Gealt, Drew Gasparini and even a few classic pop tunes! Directed by Dan Phillips, the performance will also feature appearances from Kirsty Marie Ayers, Gareth James Healey and Catherine Mort.
