9 - 14 March       Educating Rita - Yvonne Arnaud Theatre

Did you see the film Educating Rita? It's now a stage production and is coming to Guildford.

When married hairdresser Rita enrols on a university course to expand her horizons, little does she realise where the journey will take her.

Her tutor Frank is a frustrated poet, brilliant academic and dedicated drunk who’s less than enthusiastic about taking Rita on but when these two people come together they soon realise how much they have to teach each other.

This comedy is at Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre on 9-14 March.

11 March   Menopause The Musical 2 - Hawth Theatre

18 March   Menopause The Musical 2 - Dorking Halls

Menopause The Musical 2 is the hysterical sequel to the smash-hit show Menopause The Musical where we fast forwards five years to catch up with the same four characters for tales of their lives, loves and losses.

Hot flushes, mood swings, memory lapses, weight gain - these are a few of our favourite menopausal beginning of the end, but the beginning of a beautiful friendship where love conquers, and friendships never fail.

The play is at the Hawth Theatre on 11 March and also at the Dorking Halls on 18 March.

12 March   Friends the Musical - Dorking Halls

FRIENDS! The Musical Parody is the hilarious new musical that lovingly lampoons TV’s Friends, celebrating the wacky misadventures of your favorite group of 20-something pals as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life, and love in 1990s Manhattan.

It’s a seemingly typical day at New York’s only coffee shop, Central Perk, until an unexpected runaway bride with beautiful hair enters the picture and kicks the whole gang out of second gear!

Friends the musical is at the Dorking Halls on 12 March.
