THE wraps have come off the new spring and summer season at Richmond's Georgian Theatre Royal.

The classics are mixed with productions aimed at all ages - although it is children who come first next month, when the programme opens with a performance of Peter Pan by the Edinburgh Puppet Company on Tuesday, March 13.

Gilbert and Sullivan take centre stage the following week, while the Richmond Amateur Dramatic Society closes the month with Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew.

Musical shows by Radio Two folk award winner Kate Rusby, and Chaconne Brass take place in April as well as Snap Theatre Company's version of D H Lawrence's Sons and Lovers.

Copies of the programme are available at the theatre. The box office can be contacted on (01748) 823021
