SOUTH PACIFIC

CAN a girl from Little Rock find happiness with a mature French planter she got to know ‘one enchanted evening’ away from the military hospital where she is a nurse? Or should she just ‘wash that man out of her hair’?

Bloody Mary is the philosopher of the island and it’s hard to believe she could be the mother of Liat who has captured the heart of Lt. Joseph Cable USMC.

While waiting for action in the war in the South Pacific, sailors and nurses put on a musical comedy show.

Amidst an outstanding musical score, including all of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s immortal songs Some Enchanted Evening, Bali H'ai, There is Nothing Like a Dame, I’m in Love With a Wonderful Guy, Younger Than Springtime, and many more, the drama of South Pacific unfolds at Ferneham Hall from Thursday to Saturday.

NATION

FADED Image Theatre (Young Theatre Royal) presents Terry Pratchett’s Nation at Theatre Royal Winchester on Monday.

A parallel world, 1860.

Two teenagers are thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed one’s village and shipwrecked the other.

Coming from completely different lives, they must somehow learn to survive starvation, mutiny and danger.

Together they come of age, overseen by a foulmouthed parrot, as they discard old doctrine to forge a new nation.

Tickets for Nation: 01962 840440 or visit theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk
