The Compass Theatre, Ickenham

A musical comedy by John Dempsey and Dana P. Rowe

Following our sell out production of Spamalot and our spectacular concert Musical Mashup, we return to the Compass Theatre with a production of John Dempsey and Dana P .Rowe’s The Witches of Eastwick, based on the novel by John Updike and the film, starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer.

It is a dark and stormy night in the (seemingly) perfect New England town of Eastwick. Three women, frustrated by the constant scrutiny and disapproval of their buttoned-up neighbours, fantasise about their ideal man.  Coincidentally, or maybe not, the brash and vulgar Darryl Van Horne arrives in the neighbourhood. It doesn’t take long before he uses his charms to release their creative energy along with their inhibitions! As Darryl casts his spell over the whole town; Alex, Jane and Sukie use their newly discovered powers to teach their depraved seducer a lesson.

We are thrilled to present the return of this funny, well-loved show with its captivating score and breathtaking spectacle, marking 25 years since the show opened in the West End.

Please note that this show contains mature themes, moderate language and violence.

For this production, Pastiche will be raising money for St. Lukes Hospice.

Originally produced on the London Stage by Cameron Mackintosh. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI) and Cameron Mackintosh Ltd. All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.co.uk
