L’Elixir d’Amour
As the final installation of Le French Festival, the incredible L’Elixir d’Amour will be showing on the big screen of the Beau Sejour Theatre – next Friday the 24th of November at 7pm!
Translated as The Elixir of Love, the performance has been described as ‘an opera of great tenderness’, and was the most popularly performed opera in Italy in the 1800s.
“The naive Nemorino, in love with the peasant Adina, buys a love potion in the hope of seducing her and thus prevents her from marrying Sergeant Belcore.” Find yourself entranced by the classic storyline, and the brilliant acting of the Rennes Opera House Cast – reserve your seat today.
PS – Admission for this event is free, what’s not to love? Book ONLINE.
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Immerse yourself in performance art with this iconic story by C.S Lewis, brought to you by the talented cast of Evoke Productions.
A total of five performances will run over three days, from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th November at Beau Sejour Theatre, and will include two matinee performances.
“The story presents an enriched theatrical experience and the opportunity to entertain the whole family with a fantasy fun filled production that the EVOKE family is proud to present in conjunction with our sole sponsor Specsavers.”

The Cuban Brothers at St James
This Saturday 18th of November at 8pm, St James welcomes the soulful, unique and funk-fuelled Cuban Brothers to the stage!
“From sold-out tours, festival spots and support slots for rock royalty, to crazy club nights, film roles and fashion shows; The Cuban Brothers’ unparalleled act is ingrained in pop culture. They may be a comedy act, but they’re also serious musicians who have played with Prince, toured with James Brown and supported Fatboy Slim, Chuck Berry and De La Soul”.
Bring a friend, grab a drink and don’t forget your dancing shoes – this is set to be a night you’ll remember. Pick up your tickets today.
Past Tents: A hilarious 5-star rated, dark and moving comedy
If you’re searching for a hysterical evening out to brighten up your week, look no further. On the 21st and 22nd of November, St James will be hosting multi-award winning writer/actors, David J Keogh and Seth Jones, who are proud to present their new comedy, ‘Past Tents’.
Also starring ‘The Windsors’ actor, Mark Keegan, the performances are guaranteed to make you laugh and cry.
“Past Tents is a play that deserves to tour nationwide, it is accessible but leaves you with something to discuss over a drink. It is easy to see why Keogh and Jones are award winning writers and their work demands a wider audience. An absolutely stunning piece of theatre.”
Both performances will be kicking off at 7:30pm, doors 6:30pm. Secure your seat today!
