location with some amazing performances.

Holyhead manages to stage this powerful, highly acclaimed award-winning drama about the famous actor, singer and civil rights campaigner, Paul Robeson, before its performance in Carnegie Hall, New York.

An outspoken and radical critic of the establishment, he was summoned to appear before a Senate Committee on Un-American Activities where he gave the most difficult and important performance of his career.

The play is a roller coaster journey through Robeson's remarkable and eventful life, and highlights how his radical activism caused him to be disowned and disremembered, even by the leaders and descendants of the civil rights movement.

It features some of his famous songs and speeches, including a dramatic rendition of Ol' Man River.

The brilliantly entertaining European Arts Company (Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, Pickwick Papers, Picture of Dorian Gray, and Chekhov's Shorts) returns with a doublebill of Harold Pinter's classic short, black-comedies.

In The Dumb Waiter, two hit-men are waiting in a basement room to do a job. Strange messages keep appearing via a serving hatch. Who are they from? Why are they waiting? And who is their next victim? Comedy and menace collide seamlessly in this classic Pinter one-act play from 1960.

In The Lover, Richard and Sarah have been married for 10 years. Every morning he commutes into the City to pour over balance sheets and graphs while she shows her lover the hollyhocks. Everything is not quite as it seems as fantasy and reality converge to dizzying effect.

These two witty dramas by the Nobel prize-winner still pack the same punch as when first written.
Thrillingly powerful with an air of mystery, they will keep you on the edge of your seat. A rare and
welcome treat for any theatre lover!
