Kiss Me, Kate

Adrian Dunbar (Line of Duty, Ridley) and Broadway royalty Stephanie J. Block (Into The Woods, The Cher Show) lead this summer's hottest cast alongside Charlie Stemp, Georgina Onuorah, Nigel Lindsay, Hammed Animashaun and Peter Davison. 

From Cole Porter, composer of recent smash-hit Anything Goes, and with a full orchestra performing classics such as Brush Up Your Shakespeare, Too Darn Hot and Tom, Dick or Harry, this new production is directed by Bartlett Sher (The King and I) with choreography by Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia!) and costume design by Catherine Zuber (Moulin Rouge!).

Hailed as 'the ultimate Broadway musical from the golden age’ (Financial Times), Kiss Me, Kate is a simple love story...about two people who just can't stand each other. Guess who wins... 

Don't miss this all-zinging, all-dancing musical comedy.
