The FUREYS are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to

standing ovations in some of the biggest concert halls of the world and
they credit their musical ability to their parents, Ted and Nora, who were
well known musicians themselves. They encouraged their sons to play
music from a very early age and there was live traditional music in their
house almost nightly.
Their emotive songs stir many emotions… tears and laughter, sadness
and joy.
A FUREYS concert is always a night to remember.

Titus is a ruler exhausted by war and loss,
who relinquishes power but leaves Rome in
disorder. Rape, cannibalism and severed
body parts fill the moral void at the heart of
this corrupt society.
Shakespeare’s gory revenge tragedy
presents us with murder as entertainment, and, as the body
count piles up, poses questions about the nature of sexuality,
family, class and society.

To mark the centenary of the First World War the Kings Theatre in
conjunction with Millstream Productions and Gateways to the First World
War are a holding a celebration event. The Kings Theatre remained open
throughout the war, providing solace and comfort and a chance to forget
about the horrors of war for a few hours.
More people during the war went to the theatre than read poems, with
powerful messages sent out via the theatre and music halls. Theatre and
performance helped shape people’s understanding of the conflict, and was
a propaganda tool for recruitment and raising the population’s morale.
The event will include guest speakers from the University of Portsmouth
and the University of Kent and feature popular entertainment of the time.
Pupils from St Georges Beneficial School have also created a
documentary film about the theatre between 1907 - 1918 through
research gathered by volunteers, to include archive material and
interviews with historians. This has been funded by the Heritage Lottery
Fund and will be screened as part of the celebration.

Zoe Squires is a painter working in Overton, Hampshire.
Expansive ‘spacescapes’ hint at the vast and ‘yet to be

and stars sing out against velvety darkness. The human mind
imagines what space might have to offer, and space
technologists focus their brilliant minds to devise technology
to achieve those dreams. Curiosity plus technology results
in awe-inspiring space art.

A castle full of colourful characters joins in the fun, including precocious
princesses, a talking dragon - and not forgetting Merlin and his magic
mirror! When young squire Watt Cobblers is expelled from Knight School,
he reluctantly becomes Merlin’s new apprentice. But trouble is never far
away, and soon Camelot Castle collapses into chaos. Merlin has lost
Excalibur, King Arthur’s daughters have been kidnapped and his brave
knights have turned into chickens. Watt and his new found friends Dusty
Dragon and wayward Princess Alice set off on the biggest quest of their
lives. But can our unlikely heroes rescue the princesses, save Excalibur
and defeat the evil Black Knight? The answers are found in this magical
production, where everyone is guaranteed to sing a lot, dance a lot and
laugh a lot... at Camelot!
“What A Knight!” brings together a thrilling story, side-splitting script
and a score full of contagiously catchy songs to give you a spectacular
show that will be a sure hit with both cast and audience.

Music by Giacomo Puccini
Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa Sung in Italian with English Surtitles
Featuring live Orchestra with over 30 musicians
No opera can match the tragedy and sorrow of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly.
Set in Japan at the turn of the century, Madama Butterfly is among the
most colourful and exotic of all operas, and from its theme of noble
self-sacrifice spring melodies that grip your heart.
It is the story of a doomed love affair between an American naval officer
and his young Japanese bride whose self-sacrifice and defiance of her
family leads to tragedy.
This exquisite production, with its beautiful set and costumes, intensifies
the emotion in an a heart-breaking story.
This touching tale of innocent love crushed between two utterly different
cultures resonates as strongly as ever in today’s world.

From the writer of smash hits Calendar Girls and Kinky
Boots comes the feel good, Olivier Award-winning
MADNESS musical, OUR HOUSE.
On the night of Joe’s 16th birthday, a split-second
decision forces him to choose between himself and his
heart. As two very different paths unfold before him, the
consequences of that choice will change his life forever.
Set to a score of MADNESS hits including “It Must Be
Love”, “House of Fun”, “Baggy Trousers” and “Our House”, this
hilarious, high energy musical will have you singing and
dancing in the aisles…Welcome to the house of fun!

PAYMENT
AND FEES
We accept the following methods
of payment:
◆ Cash

The price you see advertised is the price
you pay inclusive of all fees. Our fees
cover all costs associated with
processing your booking and also a
Building Improvement Fund charge
(applies to shows at the theatre only)
which goes towards improving our
beautiful Grade II* listed building and
future development in our Big Project.

ACCESSIBILITY
We are committed to improving
accessibility for all of our patrons.
We have wheelchair and level access
via Albert Rd entrance and provide
wheelchair spaces in the Stalls. An
accessible toilet and bar are located at
the rear of the stalls. Please note: There
is no lift access at the Kings Theatre. You
may transfer from a wheelchair into a
seat on arrival as long as in the unlikely
event of an emergency you are able to
exit the building without the use of your
wheelchair. Unfortunately we can’t
provide access for mobility scooters.
Infra red hearing systems are available
for Front Stalls and Dress Circle areas,
for those using a T position hearing aid
or with provided earpiece for
performances with amplified sound.

If your performance falls outside of our
normal opening hours the Box Office will
open 90 minutes before and remain
open for 30 minutes beyond the show
start time.
Latecomers will be admitted at a suitable
point but it may not be possible to seat
you in your allocated seat until the
interval. Some shows do not admit
latecomers – this is stated in the show
information.
We have a number of bars where you can
purchase refreshments which open 1 hour
before the show start time. You may also
pre-order interval drinks. Plastic bottles
and glasses can be taken into the
auditorium. Our bars accept payment by
credit and debit cards – minimum £5
spend. No alcohol is permitted to be
brought onto the premises.
There is a no smoking policy throughout
the building which includes the use of
e-cigarettes.
