Dear Royal Friends
Time is indeed flying and as we
enter into the last three months of 2009 (how scary is that!) some retail
shops are already hanging Christmas decorations and all of us here at Isaac
Theatre Royal are busy planning for what is shaping up to be a very busy 2010
with some absolutely fantastic shows scheduled to grace our Grand Old Lady's
stage… There will be one further newsletter going out in November where we
can hopefully announce details of some of those performance seasons but for
the meantime after a late winter lull, we are back in full “showtime” mode with some excellent October and November
productions at ITR. There's something for everyone so we hope to see you here
very soon!

his quest to rescue the beautiful princess. |
