Tracy-Ann Oberman stars as Geri Essendine in this new production of Noel Coward’s celebrated and hilarious portrayal of the temptations and pitfalls of theatrical celebrity.

Geri Essendine is a hugely successful actress (who has been 39 for the best part of a decade). Her personality, wit and charm have earned her a legion of devoted fans, young and old, and a coterie of friends, acquaintances and hangers-on.

Just as she is about to depart for a tour of Australia, Geri finds herself besieged by a bevvy of would-be lovers, not to mention her long-suffering secretary, estranged husband and an obsessed young playwright. Will she ever disentangle herself from their tightening clutches and incessant demands? And deep down, does she really want to…?

Known to millions from iconic roles in EastEnders, Doctor Who and Friday Night Dinner. Tracy-Ann Oberman returns to the stage following her highly acclaimed performance in The Merchant of Venice 1936.

This hilarious production is at the Everyman Cheltenham until 3rd October and features an exceptional cast. Tracy-Ann Oberman returns to the stage following her highly acclaimed performance in The Merchant of Venice 1936. 

Playing Geri, Tracy-Ann is a hugely successful actress with wit, charm and a devoted following of fans of all ages. 

As Geri prepares to embark on a tour of Australia, she finds herself at the centre of attention from a number of would-be lovers. In the opening scene, we meet a 24-year-old who is determined to win her heart, despite the considerable age gap. But, as the show hilariously unfolds, it is not only the younger admirers who fall for Geri. One of her managers, who is married with a husband, but is clearly unhappy in his relationship and sets his sights on Geri, by simply using one of Geri long term friends and managers to seek an affair before trying getting close to Geri  Naturally, she sees straight through his plan, much to his frustration. 

This production is hilarious from the moment the curtain rises to the final bows. Tracy-Ann is outstanding, bringing humour and energy to every second she is on stage. The entire cast is talented, with each performer bringing something distinctive to their role. The comic timing is impeccable, while the sharp insults flow freely and are delivered brilliantly. 

There's been a murder! Well... Two, and its down to the audience to work out who done it... 

Monday 21st September was time to review The Mousetrap, a play that celebrates 75 Years and is still going strong on London's West End.

However, We saw it in the stunning and iconic venue of The Everyman in Cheltenham. The play, runs for 2hrs 10 minutes with a 20 minute interval, so there is a lot of dialogue and piecing together who done it, (of course keeping the true magic alive, we can't mention who did it, you will need to book tickets to see it).

It was all set around one room in this play, where several characters were under suspicion of murder, when one of the guests staying in the guest house was murdered. Was there a connection to the murder or was it a cold callas act?

The quest is complete. After thousands of imaginative entries from customers, young adventurers and dragon fans, Great Western Railway’s newest legendary travel companion finally has a name.

The limited-edition plushie dragon, inspired by GWR's Famous Five and the Dragon Quest campaign, received its new name following a social media competition, with the winning entry chosen by railway historian and broadcaster Tim Dunn.

From fiery and fearsome to magical and marvellous, entries poured in from across the South West and South Wales, making Tim’s decision no easy task.

Introducing Brunella…

Now officially named, Brunella is ready to accompany families on adventures across the network, from seaside escapes in Cornwall to city breaks in Cardiff and everywhere in between.

Tim Dunn said:

“Choosing just one winner was incredibly difficult. There were so many inventive and imaginative entries.

“Brunella stood out as a name perfectly suited to this dragon. Referencing Brunel, one of the legendary figures of GWR’s past, perhaps it’ll introduce curious young minds to the extraordinary stories of Brunella’s namesake too. It’s an absolutely ace name for a little dragon who’s destined for many great adventures.”

GWR Head of Marketing, Helen da Costa, said:

“We were blown away by the response to our competition. The creativity, imagination and enthusiasm shown was fantastic and it was wonderful to see so many people getting involved.

“There were lots of brilliant suggestions and we're delighted to officially welcome Brunella into the GWR family. We look forward to our young adventurers capturing pictures of Brunella at some of the fantastic destinations on our network.”

The limited-edition dragon is available now from the GWR Souvenir Shop, priced £32.

This is a modern take on a classic from Oscar Wild, it's called The Importance Of Being Earnest, Which has been brought up to date for the 21st Century with a musical take on it, with modern hit songs that everyone recognises. This musical/play has a modest run time of over 2hrs,  with a finish time of 10.10pm. Which I think its the latest I've ever been out of this glorious theatre!

The cast are strong, talented bunch, which portrays comedy elements perfectly, it has a rising damp feel with the main actor really reminding me of that character in the show, with his mannerisms and his comedy timing which is absolutely brilliant when a bit of the set, decides that its had "enough"...  and the comedy take on it is brilliant, it did leave the audience wondering if it was supposed to happen or not.

I do think, the songs they've chosen could be different and didn't always work - however the take on RAYES "Where The Hell Is My husband" was hilarious, with a strong performance along with Butler saying the very famous line "Your husband is coming".

It is certainly worth watching whilst it is on tour, or if you can at the Everyman Cheltenham this week. I do have to agree with some of the audience members, it is slightly too long in length and could have been shortened by about 15 minutes, But don't let that put you off; it was a great production with some great talent. 

If you are wondering what this take on the production is, then read below

Featuring a talented cast of actor-musicians, a live on-stage band seamlessly threads jazz-styled contemporary chart hits (think RAYE, Madonna, Lizzo and Eminem) through Wilde’s hilarious, razor-sharp dialogue.

Join Jack, Algy, Gwendolen and Cecily as engagements multiply, handbags are examined and a single name turns society upside-down. This Earnest is witty, romantic and gloriously playful.

In this vibrant 1920s setting, the female characters take the centre stage. Powered by agency and confidence, they are brought to life with refreshing strength. The traditional dynamics of the text shift delightfully, with relationships pioneered as much by female courtship as male.

In the spirit of Wilde’s own description, it is a production "exquisitely trivial, searchingly serious," delivered here with enormous wit, playfulness, and heart.

Combining drama, live music, and fabulous choreography, this is a brilliant hybrid of theatre that makes for a perfect summer evening.
