For more information\, including prices\, availability and to book. visit the Malvern Hills Literary Loop: Tolkien\, Lewis\, Darwin & Dickens page on Airbnb.

Bizet broke operatic convention by celebrating proletarian and immoral ways of life\, vividly bringing to life Carmen in a way that does justice to her character as a complex\, proud and spirited woman. \nRogue Opera strips away the pomp and pageantry to offer a raw and intimate piece of theatre\, giving an insight into the human emotions at the centre of this story of seduction\, obsession\, rejection and revenge. \nCarmen – Reimagined is presented in thee parts\, divided by 20-minute intervals\, with a total running time of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The opera is sung in French\, with English dialogue.

The membership has dropped to four – the audiences aren’t much bigger – and if they don’t come up with some rent money soon\, they’re going to be thrown out. “There’s only one thing that sells tickets these days\,” argues Gordon the Chairman: “Sex!” Thus begins the chaotic and hilarious build-up to an evening of extraordinary home-grown drama – an evening the locals would never forget! \nThe Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley – Gordon\, Margaret\, Joyce and Bernard tackle yet another threat to their survival\, this time in the form of a rival am-dram\, newly-formed in their village\, determined to upstage them with an award-winning musical. The querulous quartet pull together to devise an ingenious military-style plan that doesn’t go quite as intended. When their subterfuge is uncovered by the rival group’s psychopathic front-of-house manager\, he’s none too pleased. Add a few emotional complications for Gordon\, and things look a little grim for Little Grimley. Could this finally be the end of their society? \nShow times\nThursday 1 May 2025\, 7.30pm\nFriday 2 May 2025\, 7.30pm\nSaturday 3 May 2025\, 2pm\nSaturday 3 May 2025\, 7.30pm URL:https://www.visitthemalverns.org/event/last-tango-in-little-grimley-the-fat-lady-sings-in-little-grimley/2025-05-03/2/ LOCATION:Coach House Theatre\, WR14 3HA CATEGORIES:Comedy,Community,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.visitthemalverns.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Little-Grimley.jpg GEO:52.1111548;-2.3261654 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Coach House Theatre WR14 3HA;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=WR14 3HA:geo:-2.3261654,52.1111548 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250503T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250503T213000 DTSTAMP:20250505T163759 CREATED:20241221T150605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241221T150605Z UID:10017323-1746300600-1746307800@www.visitthemalverns.org SUMMARY:Cruel Intentions: The ’90s Musical DESCRIPTION:Following sell-out runs in London and New York\, the brand-new smash hit musical Cruel Intentions is coming to Malvern Theatres. \nBased on the iconic film and inspired by Les Liaisons Dangereuses\, it’s packed with ’90s pop classics including songs by Britney Spears\, Boyz II Men\, Christina Aguilera\, TLC\, R.E.M.\, Ace of Base\, Natalie Imbruglia\, The Verve\, *NSYNC and many more! \nStep-siblings Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil engage in a cruel bet: she goads him into attempting to seduce Annette Hargrove\, the school headmaster’s virtuous daughter. \nWeaving a web of secrets and temptation\, their crusade wreaks havoc on the students at their exclusive Manhattan high school.
