UPDATE - SECOND OUTING - A group of Horizon members braved the snow on preview
night (4th Feb) and were rewarded by a very memorable evening - a thought
provoking play, combining excellent acting & staging with moments of humour,
sadness and surprise in equal measure. Jacqueline was superb in the role of
Amanda, and joined our group after the show for drinks and conversation until
late. Unfortunately, not everyone who wanted to come was able to make it that
night, so a second group outing has been set for the 5pm performance this coming
Sunday 15th February. Jacqueline will again be happy to meet and chat with us
all in the bar after the show. Please email Diane (horizonb7@...) or
Mina (mina.mina@...) know as soon as possible if you'd like to join
us. (There are no set seats, and there's no booking fee to book via their
online ticketing service so we suggest you make your own bookings ASAP (very
small theatre) and liaise with Mina/Diane regarding meeting up on the day.
We're suggesting meeting up around 3pm so we have time to chat beforehand, and
after the show (around 7.30pm) we'll meet up with Jacqueline in the bar.
FUCHSIA: In a nightclub in London, seven lives intersect at a critical juncture.
Guy can't believe his luck: after years of searching he has found Edward again -
the perfect one night stand whose parting words have puzzled him ever since. Guy
has reinvented himself in Edward's alpha-male image, and he's miserable. But
Edward has changed. He has seen something truly extraordinary that defies
understanding, gravity even. Amanda, his serene companion, has also experienced
it. And Deborah Morris, the Hollywood star, is here for the same reason. In fact
their revelations could transform everyone. Guy is about to find out that the
best way to get grounded is actually by taking a giant leap...

LA CAGE AUX FOLLES: The idyllic existence of Georges (Steven Pacey) and the
dazzling drag artiste Albin, star of the La Cage aux Folles club, is threatened
when Georges' son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing
politician, who wants to close down the local colourful nightlife! With a visit
from the prospective in-laws imminent, they all decide to take drastic action to
hide their lifestyle...but can they keep it up?
Jerry Herman's (Hello, Dolly!, Mack and Mabel and Mame) fabulous score includes
I Am What I Am, The Best of Times and Song on the Sand. La Cage aux Folles is a
timeless and deliciously funny tale of family values, unconditional love, and
above all, the need to be proud of who we are.
