R I S I N G y o u n g opera star Kate Lad­ ner is tak­ ing her big bustle to Preston. . . The bus­


v'i


tle goes along with the title


ride of Manon, a woman tempted away from her intention to take Holy Orders by the lure of plea­ sure, riches and romance in Massenet's best-known


opera. Kate, pictured above, one


of Britain's most exciting young singing talents, said. "Manon's costumes are absolutely gorgeous. "They get redder and red­


der as she becomes more voluptuous. And her rear gets bigger and bigger throughout the showl" "Manon" is set in the


Paris of the 1880s, when fashionable women knew


exactly what to do with a decent-sized bustle. It's no surprise that Manon ends up with a temptingly Rube- nesque posterior. "Manon" is one of two


productions by English Touring Opera visiting the Charter Theatre, Preston,


on May 15th and 16th. Mozart's fairytale story


"The Magic Flute" is being performed on the first night of English Touring Opera's


visit to Preston. The company, which


always performs in English, is offering something special at Preston for audiences. At 6-30 p.m. each night,


members of the artistic team will present a pre-per­ formance talk on each opera, giving an informal and fascinating insight into the music, the production and the company.

review by Pippa Munro Kissing Sid James; Octagon Theatre, Bolton


THIS new comedy by Robert Farquhar is both hilarious and touching, a two-han- der centred on the attempts of an unlike­ ly couple to find love in a ghastly chmtz- frilled bedroom in a cheap seaside B&B. Mother's boy and stationery salesman


and all done without nudityl I never realised how important a knowledge o football could be to a man at certain


relationship encounters many ups and downs, and there are moments of


grThePX n g , by Richard Foxton cre- ates a vivid background with small details, and director Mark Babych has


elicited two terrific performances. My only quibble is that the first act


could, perhaps, do with some prunmg,-


Eddie, su p e rb ly played by Mark Chat- terton, who manages to make the most irritating man in the world sympathetic, has taken Crystal (equally well played by Teresa Gallagher), a sexy croupier with a secret yen for Sean Connery, away for a weekend of passion, but nothing turns


out as they hoped.


Their tentative first evening leads to the funniest sex scene I have ever seen -


. , , .


but in the second half the developed, and we were moved by their inadequacies and loneliness, as well as laughing at the clever, witty script. The advance publicity calls it an adult


comedy and mentions that it contains strong language, but there isn t very much, and there is nothing very offen­ sive, so don’t let that put you off seeing a very funny play by a promising new


playwright.
