Oldham Coliseum New Season Oldham Coliseum's spring and summer season for 2010, just announced, includes an a capella musical and a brand new stage adaptation of a best-selling book. The season opens with C P Taylor's wartime drama And A Nightingale Sang directed by Sarah Punshon in a co-production with the New Vic in Newcastle-under-Lyme. Up On The Roof, co-produced with New Wolsey Theatre, is a musical about five students on the roof of their student digs at Hull University in 1975 performing doo-wop covers of Motown and soul hits and revealing their aspirations for the future. Artistic director Kevin Shaw directs Shelagh Stephenson's play about family memories The Memory of Water and also a new adaptation by Philip Goulding of William Woodruff's best-seller Road to Nab End. Next year's pantomime, as already announced, will be Sleeping Beauty, which, like this year's production, will be directed by Kevin Shaw from a script by Eric Potts and will star Fine Time Fontayne as the dame. There are visits from Hull Truck with John Godber's production of his own play Men of the World recreating a pensioner's bus trip and Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds in an adaptation of Laurie Lee's Cider With Rosie by Daniel O'Brien.
