Life x 3 by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton
One evening. Two couples. Three perspectives on a single situation.
This contemporary comedy finds Henri and Sonia putting their young son to bed when the doorbell rings. Hubert and Ines have arrived for dinner – a day earlier than expected. The socially disastrous evening degenerates with hilarious yet poignant results. Discussions on parenting mix with the world of astrophysics. How might it all end? Could there be three conclusions?

Hercules The Panto by Joshua Clarke and Lewis Clarke
Bishopstoke Players’ next show, ‘Hercules: the Panto’, promises to deliver all those elements that are so enduring about pantomime – heroes and villains, silly jokes, songs, a highly unlikely narrative and, of course a happy ending!
The evil Hades is planning to take over the cosmos! But there’s one person in his way. Or should we say half-person, half-god? It’s our hero, Hercules!
Hercules, the son of Zeus, embarks on a series of heroic tasks to prove his strength and valour. With the help (or otherwise!) of his Earth-bound family, and the support of his friends, he sets out in his quest to prove himself a true hero and regain his right to live amongst the gods.
Scripted by award-winning playwrights, Joshua Clarke and Lewis Clarke, the show is packed with spectacle, humour and pace, and all that classic panto fun.
Directed by Beth Bowers and featuring a terrific cast, performances are in Durley Memorial Hall, Thursday 23rd to Saturday 25th January at 7.30 (doors open 7pm), with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.
Tickets are £12 (£8 under-18s), available here (no booking fee); email boxoffice@bishopstokeplayers.uk, or phone 07871 006551.
As we are proud to have done every year since 1947, proceeds from the show will be donated to the charity, Action for Children.

The action moves swiftly between theatres, Greenwich Palace and the teeming London streets of 1593.
