This winter tourism bosses in Wiltshire are hoping to encourage a new type of visitor to the county, especially a younger affluent crowd who would take an interest in ‘off the wall’ performances offered by the arts community.
Highlights for the forthcoming season include:
Is that a bolt in your neck? – This dark comedy follows three actors playing over 20 roles in a story about what happens when they all seek refuge in a big old house during a storm. The play is showing at The Arts Centre in Swindon on 2nd October 2009 and tickets are available for £10.
Calne Music & Arts Festival – from 2nd – 11th October 2009, the 35th annual Calne Music & Arts Festival begins, offering a range of performances, recitals and exhibitions. Events change daily with entry prices starting from as little as £2.
Arsenic and old lace – this black comedy comes to Salisbury Playhouse between 29th October – 21st November 2009. The play tells the story of two lovable maiden aunts whose charitable good deeds include entertaining gentlemen callers with elderberry wine with a difference. Seats are available from only £10 if you booked for the first five nights.
The way you look tonight – from the 10th December 2009 to 16th January 2010, enjoy an evening of musical celebration as Salisbury Playhouse dedicates a show to the songs of composer Jerome Kern. Songs include Smoke gets in your eyes, The way you look tonight and A fine romance.
