Arabian Nights

Peter Pan
The Bolton Octagon’s family festive show this year is the timeless classic we all know and love: Peter Pan. With a talented cast of actor-musicians playing originally composed music, the show is sure to bring out the child in all of us!
Runs until 12th January 2013 at the Bolton Octagon
Tickets £9.50-£22
Orpheus Descending
Whilst being one of Tennesse William’s lesser-known plays, Orpheus Descending, still has plenty of what we love about him: a young male drifter, an unhappy Southern belle and lots of passion. Stars Imogen Stubbs as Lady Torrance.
Runs from 24th October to 24th November at The Royal Exchange Theatre
Student Tickets £10 or £5 on a Monday or Friday
Irving Berlin’s White Christmas
A musical based on the Bing Crosby film classic, following the success of the record-breaking, sell-out run of 2009. A spectacle that’ll warm any Scrooge-like heart, White Christmas promises to deliver ‘lots of laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written’.
