Hi

Welcome to the first issue of the ‘Royal Friends' email newsletter from Isaac Theatre Royal. You'll receive at least one email monthly, as well as occasional special offers as and when they arise. The best thing about ‘Royal Friends' is that it costs you nothing, just a few minutes of your time over a morning coffee to read through all the great theatre, ballet, opera, comedy, music, children's and general entertainment events coming soon to Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch.

Our “Friends Bring Friends” offer below for 4 free tickets to Shirley Valentine will hopefully attract a whole new group of theatre lovers to our Royal Friends. See below for details in our inaugural bumper newsletter.

See you again very soon at The Isaac.

Neil Cox – General Manager
