Previews

Based on Eve Ensler’s ‘vagina interviews’ conducted with women all over the world, this hilariously witty and moving collection of tales gives voice to a chorus of lusty, poignant and thoroughly human stories. Jerry Hall, Coronation Street’s Nikki Sanderson and Welsh actress Ruth Madoc are some of the big names lined up to appear in this show. As sharp as Sex and the City and as funny as Smack the Pony, this riotous evening is the ultimate girls night out! Vagina Monologues also donates a percentage of ticket sales revenue to V-Day, which benefits women’s charities around the world.

Vagina Monologues is at Wales Millennium Centre on 9 – 24 March. Box Office: 08700 40 2000.

Diversions return to the New Theatre on March 21 – 24 with a brand new triple bill of dance. Exposure is a fusion of exciting new work from choreographers from around the world.

From Mozart to modern percussion to live radio mixes, music inspires and influences the movement throughout.

Exposure is made up of Itzik Galili’s visually spectacular Peeled, Roy Campbell-Moore’s luxurious and carefree Up Close and Personal and Ronsaria by Tony Thatcher, a revival from the early days of the company.

Act One round off their season with Hotbed Hotel – a raunchy, riotous romp that is sure to tickle everyone’s fancy.

Terry and Brian Cody are hoping to sell their one star hotel to Mr. Lewis, the only man who has expressed any interest in buying it. In order to bolster his interest, they devise a ploy to make the hotel appear busier and more prosperous than it actually is. This involves persuading their staff to masquerade as paying guests to hilarious and unpredictable effect. This farcical ‘hotbed’ of intrigue and innuendo culminates in a show-stopping coup-de-theatre. Hotbed Hotel is on March 20 – 24in the YMCA theatre. The show starts at 7.30pm and tickets are £5.

Russell Howard’s infectious, charming and critically acclaimed style of stand-up feels like a chat around a campfire. He has irrepressible enthusiasm and boundless confidence and his super elasticised improvisational mind ensures the evening will be unique and full of endless laughs.

Russell Howard is at St David’s Hall on March 20. Tickets are £7 with NUS. Box Office: 029 2087 8444.
