An exploration of life, loss and a single question:
where does true inspiration come from?

Tao of Glass is a storytelling tapestry, and the latest collaboration from the talented duo – composer Philip Glass and performer-director Phelim McDermott (of theatre company Improbable). Inspired by a dream, Glass and McDermott have created ten brand new pieces of music to accompany ten meditations on life, all shot through with Improbable’s trademark theatricality.

Part-concert, part-performance, this West End premiere combines live music with movement and puppetry to explore contemplations on life, death and artistic creation. We have been hugely impressed by other collaborations between Philip Glass and Phelim McDermott on the ENO productions of Satyagraha and Akhnaten. McDermott also directed the stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s animated feature film My Neighbour Totoro. You can watch the trailer of Tao of Glass at this LINK

A legendary love story transfers from Stratford-upon-Avon
to London’s West End

Fiercely funny and intensely romantic, Cyrano lives by his words and his sword. Haunted by doubts about his own appearance, he watches from the shadows as the handsome Christian tries to impress Roxane, the woman they both love.
But Christian is hopeless with words so Roxane shows no interest in him. He asks the lovelorn but poetic Cyrano to provide him with words to woo Roxane. Can such deception achieve the hoped for romantic result?
Following a sold-out run at Stratford, this Royal Shakespeare production transfers to London for a limited run. Adrian Lester, always an exciting actor, makes a welcome return to the stage in an unforgettable star-turn. Susannah Fielding is Roxane.

THE FIRST PLAY OF THE NEW SEASON AT THE DONMAR WAREHOUSE

In a quiet room in an Episcopal church, two couples meet. They need to have a conversation – one that no parents should ever have to face. Memories come to the surface and defences break down as they try to reach across a divide caused by an event no-one wishes had occurred.
Director Carrie Cracknell has assembled a great cast (see above) for this profoundly moving new play.

**SPECIAL NOTE: Many of our friends have told us that they would like to continue joining us at the theatre. As we shall not be able to organise coach transport in future, Cook’s Coaches do intend to run an optional coach to our shows. This will be a separate transaction from booking a show so you must book your coach fare directly with their office, as soon as possible after booking your theatre tickets with us. You can then still travel safely with friends, and benefit from our special group theatre ticket discounts.
Return COACH fare: Currently £22
Please note that the coach must be booked and payment made to Cook’s Coaches.
Enquiries – Tel: 01702 344702.
Seats on the coach will be allocated on receipt of payment
