Tickets are available from the Tower Theatre Box office on 020 7353 1700.

UNWILLINGLY forced to adopt a child, a servant girl grows to love and protect him from the dangers of war, only to be asked to give him up.
The Hampstead Players will perform Bertholt Brecht’s Caucasian Chalk Circle – an updated version of an old Chinese story at once touching, funny and politically challenging – at the Hampstead Parish Church in Church Row

A GIRL from Ipanema falls for a Favela poet in 1960s Brazil in the bossa nova love story Poor Little Rich Girl, playing at the Etcetera Theatre.
