Spring programme includes the belated return of pantomime
The Questors has announced its programme through the Spring which includes the welcome return of the pantomime which had to be cancelled during the Christmas period due to Covid. Next up in the Studio Theatre is Consent by Nina Raine which was originally staged at the National Theatre. It concerns two barristers who are close friends but on opposite sides in a brutal rape case. As their relationships with the women in their lives begin to fracture, their command of the moral high ground soon trembles beneath them. Consent runs from 19-26 February. A very timely piece, given recent news reports is Whipping It Up by Steve Thompson which is due to be performed in the Studio from 5-12 March in the Studio. This farce set in a Government Whips’ office is a mixture of comedy, satire and thriller, with a plot that goes through “more twists and double-bluffs than a poker game between conmen”. There will be a post-show Q&A session on Thursday 10 March featuring the playwright. The traditional pantomime Snow White will now be staged from 11-27 March in the Judi Dench Playhouse. It will be over two years since the venue has been able to stage a pantomime. When Snow White’s angelic beauty is deemed the fairest in the land, her menacing stepmother, the Evil Queen, is overcome with jealousy. On escaping death's clutches, Snow White is offered shelter in the woods by some friendly faces. But will the machinations of her Evil Stepmother stop there? Oh no, they won’t…
