The Roses Theatre has lots on this October, including Swan Lake, Beyond The Barricade and Wish You Were Here...
The Lure Of The Lake
As the colder weather creeps in, The Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury hopes to brighten up the evenings with a chance to escape reality and enter the fairytale world of Swan Lake, on Wednesday October 22, 7.30pm.
Tchaikovsky’s acclaimed romantic ballet will be brought to life by Ballet Theatre UK during their first visit to The Roses Theatre.
Swan Lake is the story of a princess held captive as a swan by the spell of an evil magician, and a charming prince who tries to break her curse by swearing his true love for her.
This performance of the hypnotic fairytale features 120 new costumes, a beautiful set and an international cast of talented dancers filling the stage with passion and energy.
Ballet theatre UK was founded by the Artistic Director, Christopher Moore, performing a multitude of productions including Alice in Wonderland, The Snow Queen, and A Christmas Carol, as well as the world premiere of The Little Mermaid earlier this year.
Tickets are £20 with concessions available.

A show that celebrates one of Britains most celebrated bands arrives at The Roses on Sunday October 26, 7.30pm.

The brand new production for 2014 features a range of classic Pink Floyd songs from early Syd Barrett through to Dark Side Of The Moon, and Wish You Were Here to The Division Bell.
