The Manfreds are heading to the Joseph Rowntree Theatre for the very first time
Featuring original Manfred Mann members Paul Jones & Tom McGuinness, The Manfreds are excited to be heading to the Joseph Rowntree Theatre for the very first time! They are considered one of the finest and most respected bands of the 1960's era. Their numerous hits were not just pop songs. Many were R&B based with an undercurrent of Jazz - a very unusual but winning combination of playing style and substance. As a result, their records have a timeless quality and, some 60 years on, The Manfreds will be performing many of their well known hits including ‘5-4-3-2-1’, ‘Pretty Flamingo’, ‘The Mighty Quinn’ and of course ‘Do Wah Diddy Diddy’, one of the most popular and instantly recognised songs of the '60's and still the biggest audience pleaser, along with a mix of Jazz and Blues covers from their many solo albums.
The thrilling sequel to The 39 Steps!
The thrilling sequel to The 39 Steps.
Hannay Stands Fast sees our dashing hero, Richard Hannay, back in the fray on a mission to thwart a new and deadly threat to his beloved England. Engaged on this top-secret case by MI5, Hannay makes his way down to Cornwall to infiltrate a secretive organisation and learn their dastardly plans. Can he save the day to keep the nation safe for another day?
Like its predecessor The 39 Steps, Hannay Stands Fast is taken on by four actors playing dozens of characters – 53 to be precise! - set in various locations created through quick and innovative uses of trunks, crates, suitcases, ladders, you name it!
A rip-roaring comedy for the whole family to enjoy, this is another of John Buchan’s classic Hannay stories, re-told for the stage through laughs, daring-do and utter chaos!
This is a UK professional premiere of this title on its first-ever UK tour!
