Summer Season 2010
There's nothing quite like getting away from it all. Leaving
behind the routine and the hum-drum is often the key to an
experience that will inspire, transform and renew. So what could be
better than getting away to the Theatre in the Hills this Summer for
a tip-top theatrical treat!
There are six productions this year, all telling stories from
outwith Scotland, offering just such an enriching experience – and
superb entertainment – along with all of the familiar PFT
trademarks: lavish costumes, beautifully realised sets and thrilling
performances.
The flagship production for 2010 is Cole Porter’s musical
comedy masterpiece, Kiss Me, Kate! But the
excitement doesn’t end there. There is also Michael Frayn’s classic
theatrical comedy, Noises Off; Oscar Wilde’s
dangerous, witty and ever popular An Ideal Husband;
and a riotous nautical comedy, Rough Crossing by
Tom Stoppard. From across the pond, there’s a second slice of
Americana in Bus Stop, William Inge’s bittersweet
romance. And to complete this wide-ranging selection from around the
world, there’s Zola’s Nana adapted by Olwen Wymark:
sinful, scandalous and sexually charged!
