SUMMARY:Giselle
DESCRIPTION:Final performances (at 2pm and 7pm) for the Polish National Ballet and Orchestra’s take on the ultimate tragic/romantic ballet – beautiful young peasant girl fall in loves with a disguised nobleman but goes mad and dies of heartbreak when his true identity is revealed by a rival; she then becomes a ghost\, one of a vengeful sisterhood of unmarried women who died after being betrayed by their lovers and take revenge in the night by dancing men to death by exhaustion. Powerful stuff.

SUMMARY:Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The second weekend of performances for “the most exciting musical of its generation” (The Times). \nFirst seen in 1975 and still an all-round stunner\, it is based on a 1926 play by one-time reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins and is built around actual crimes on which she reported; the book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse paints a tantalising tale of passion\, murder\, greed\, betrayal\, and redemption through the journey of two fiercely competitive women – aspiring jazz performer Roxie Hart and former vaudevillian (and double-murderess) Velma Kelly. John Kander and Fred Ebb were responsible for the score\, with each song modelled on a traditional vaudeville number or a vaudeville performer – a format that helped to make explicit the show’s comparison between justice\, showbiz\, and contemporary society. \nPerformances: \n19 September 7pm\n20 September 7pm\n21 September 1pm\n21 September 7pm\n22 September 1pm\n22 September 6pm \nThere are the door-open times; we’d guess the actual performances start an hour later. Ticket prices are higher for weekend shows

SUMMARY:Majd Kurdieh: Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the Aleppo-born Lebanese-based artist with a very distinctive practice – he paints with cartoon-like characters to talk about the current state of the world\, usually a boy (Fasoon) and a girl (Fasooneh) who are always smiling despite the fact that their world is filled with hardships; they share it with a group of animal characters called the Very Scary Butterfly Gang\, Their main mission is to combat the sadness of the world with their sole weapon\, the flower. For the current show\, Kurdieh’s fifth at Fann A Porter by our count\, he’s concentrating on the butterflies: “In the hope of a future in which the field comes back laughing and the seas are more merciful\, when the fires go out and the birds return to their nests\, and a young painter less careless than me comes and says to you: ‘I painted the butterfly because I love the colour of its wings'”. \nTo 21 October. \nRight: Majd Kurdieh\, Untitled (2024)

SUMMARY:Go Back for Murder
DESCRIPTION:Second performance of this Agatha Christie play. There’s an unusual twist on the traditional murder mystery \, the action moving from past to present and illuminating the danger of relying on personal testimony warped by time\, prejudice and perception. Carla Crale’s mother died in prison\, serving a sentence for her father’s murder. A posthumous letter from her convinces Carla that her mother was wrongfully convicted: with the help of family solicitor Justin Fogg\, Carla persuades all those who were present on the day of her father’s death to return to the scene of the crime and ‘go back’ 15 years to recount their version of events. By studying each suspect’s testimony and the various inconsistencies between them\, the drama arrives at a disturbing and terrible truth … \nThe final performance is on 22 September. \n
