Dateline: 17th June, 2009
Autumn in Salisbury Sexual passion and black comedy will dominate the autumn scene at Salisbury Playhouse following Artistic Director Philip Wilson's announcement of a programme featuring Alan Bennett's tale of eccentricity The Lady in the Van, echoes of Strindberg, David Harrower's study of sexual obsession The Blackbird and a rare revival of Joseph Kesselring's classic 1940s hit, Arsenic and Old Lace. Salisbury's traditional pantomime Cinderella, with an original score by Paul Herbert, will be followed by Wilson's new production of Noël Coward's classic comedy Private Lives which will renew Wilson's association with designer Colin Falconer and lighting designer Chris Davey, reuniting the team responsible for the recent Salisbury sell-out success, The Winslow Boy. Bennett's dramatisation of his own memoir opens in the main house on Thursday 3rd September, Blackbird following on 14th September, and Patrick Marber's reimagining of Strindberg's Miss Julie, directed by Tom Daley, is due to open at Salisbury on Thursday 1st October. Wilson's production of Arsenic and Old Lace, takes the main stage from 29 October until 21 November, with Cinderella, directed by Caroline Leslie with design by Karen McKeown, running from 2 December until 9th January. And following last year's smash hit Christmas success, Let's Face the Music and Dance, which was named among the top Christmas musicals in the country, Salisbury's Salberg attraction for older patrons will be Stuart Hutchinson's cabaret, The Way You Look Tonight with Kit Hesketh Harvey as narrator and Simon Green again directing.. The musical talents of Jane Austen will feature on Sunday 18th October in Jane Austen and Collete, Daughters of Music with soprano Jane Streeton, actor Maggie Henderson and pianist Maggie Cole.
