ALL MY SONS - the first great success of Arthur Miller's supremely influential career -
is a compelling story of love, guilt and the corrupting power of greed.
Joe Keller (David Suchet) is alleged to have supplied World War II fighter planes with
defective engines, leading to the deaths of innocent pilots - a crime for which his
business partner took the fall.
One of Keller's sons, himself a pilot, is thought to have been killed in action. But his
mother (Zoe Wanamaker) can't accept his death and equally, can't accept that her
dead son's fiancée has transferred her affections to her other son.
The confrontations that ensue lead to the uncovering of a shameful family secret…

Completing a festive line-up that has something for everyone is Sandi Toksvig's Christmas Cracker, a cabaret show in Royal Festival Hall that, for ten days only, features a glittering array of stars from the worlds of music, magic and comedy, starring the legendary Ronnie Corbett.

Hosted by queen of the quips Sandi Toksvig and a house band, the show is a joyous mix of music and comedy. It features festive sing-a-longs and, in time-honoured tradition, a re-working of a much-loved period drama in the form of a hilarious romp through Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, written by actress and Fascinating Aida comedienne Dillie Keane. Created by Sandi Toksvig and Southbank Centre Artistic Director Jude Kelly, and directed by Fiona Laird, who directed Stephen Fry’s Cinderella at the Old Vic in 2007 starring Sandi Toksvig, each performance will have the same format, although star guests will vary through the show’s ten-day run.

Formed in 2007, the troupe are made up of members from East London (Dagenham, Leytonstone), and Essex and comprise three sets of brothers and four of their friends. Some are still at school or university but the older members include an IT systems engineer, a bathroom installer, and a telecoms engineer.

The group, ranging in age from 13 to 26 during the filming of Britain's Got Talent, are: Ashley Banjo, Jordan Banjo, Sam Craske, Mitchell Craske, Ian McNaughton, Jamie McNaughton, Matthew McNaughton, Perri Luc Kiely, Warren Russell, Ike Ezekwugo and Terry Smith.

The group won the third series of Britain's Got Talent. All the judges praised their performance with Amanda Holden saying 'this show is just so brilliant because just when I think I've seen it all and nothing could get any better you came on'.[6] Piers Morgan described Banjo's choreography as 'genius' and said they were 'right up there with the best of the dancers we've seen'.

European Arts Company presents a charming collection of short comic plays by Anton Chekhov on Mon 14 December at 7.30pm.  Fresh from a national and international tour, this is Chekhov at his comic best, before Uncle Vanya started shooting, The Seagull got stuffed, The Three Sisters started moaning and The Cherry Orchard was 'car-parked'.

It's easier to feed two mouths than four and the poor woodsman's empty stomach goes to his head - he gives in to his bony wife and Hansel and Gretel have to be left in the forest, not just once but twice and the second time there won't be any moonstones to follow back home. Instead they follow their noses to the sugary heart of darkness…

Hansel and Gretel's journey takes them from a house with empty cupboards and a mother who doesn't like children to a house made of sweets and someone who just loves children - on toast.

A play by David Wood. Adapted from the book THE SHEEP-PIG by Dick King-Smith.

Presented by Romiley Little Theatre.

This is the tale of high adventure in the farm yard; of humble beginnings and courageous triumphs. This is the story of one piglet’s rise to become the world famous “sheep-pig”.

When Babe is won by Farmer Hoggett at the village fair, an extraordinary friendship develops, one that will change the whole farm.

With the help of his new “mother”, the old dog Fly, Babe fast learns the herding instinct, and it is not long before this most polite of pigs wins over the most suspicious of sheep.

When the day of the Grand Challenge Sheep-Dog Trials dawns, the whole farm holds its breath to see whether Babe will triumph, against all the odds, to become the hero of the hour.

The original book inspired the hugely successful film, BABE.
