NOËL & GERTIE
The first half is a revue introducing the legendary stage partnership and lifelong friendship of Noël Coward and Gertrude Lawrence, with songs by Coward, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Kurt Weill and Rodgers & Hammerstein. Bill Scott on piano accompanies Tim Tubbs and Rachel Anderson (co-stars of Pickering’s 2025 hit Hello, Dolly!) as the famous duo.
RED PEPPERS
One of nine short plays written to showcase Noël Coward & Gertrude Lawrence in the 1936 production Tonight At 8.30, this comic “interlude with music”, set in a Northern town’s palace of varieties, features a feuding husband and wife in a corny song & dance double act, in the dying days of music hall. Pickering actors Paula Cook and Jack Dobson join four Scarborough actors in this amusing backstage bickering match, bookended by two hilariously corny song & dance routines.
Friday 28 August 7:30pm
Saturday 29 August 2:30pm
Saturday 29 August 7:30pm
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
