THINGS TO COME - AUTUMN SEASON AT CHELMSFORD'S CIVIC

Autumn at the Civic and Cramphorn Theatres

Drama, dance, music and brand new seating in the Cramphorn.

Two very different stage classics come to the Civic - Agatha Christie’s A Murder Is Announced (3 - 7 November) with Judy Cornwell as Miss Marple, and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot (19 – 20 November). Amongst the work on offer next door in the Cramphorn, Casting The Runes (28 October), two more thrilling ghost stories performed by Robert Lloyd Parry.

A chance to try out the new seating, which promises greater comfort, with new height and angles giving a better view of the performance area. And just like your local multiplex, you can have “luxurious and spacious” premium seating in the back row for just £2 extra.

The dance highlight has to be Ballet Cymru, bringing Prokofiev's Cinderella to the Civic on October 10

Music includes tributes to the Bee Gees - Nights On Broadway (12 September), as and Kate Bush - Dreaming Of Kate (19 September). And the much-loved M&G Orchestral Concerts return for another season, beginning with the BBC Concert Orchestra on November 15.

And booking is already heavy for this year's pantomime, Aladdin, opening its month-long run on December 2.
