Also premiering in the Theatre Upstairs is Red Bud by Brett Neveu. Jo McInnes will direct this new play, which will be the first by Chicago-based Neveu to receive a major UK outing. Red Bud is about the “creeping spread of middle age” as friendships fade.

The Rose Theatre’s new season has been announced, and will include a production of Noel Coward’s Hay Fever, running from the 28th September and starring Celia Imrie. Theatre tickets for the Kingston venue are on sale now.

Artistic director Stephen Unwin will direct Hay Fever, which will become the ninth in-house production at the Rose Theatre in London since it first opened in 2008. Imrie will play Judith Bliss alongside the RSC’s Alexandra Gilbreath in the role of Myra Arundal.

Commenting on the play Unwin said: “I’m thrilled to be directing Noël Coward’s great comedy of bad manners, which seems to me one of the most perfectly achieved 20th century English plays. With this production, I want to lay bare the brilliant assault on suburban values that lies at the heart of the play.”

Imrie has recently been seen on stage in Plague Over England at the Duchess Theatre and The Rivals at the Southwark Playhouse.

Also part of the season is The Three Musketeers, which will be showing over Christmas and is the first musical at the Rose.

The Three Musketeers, adapted for the stage by Alexandre Dumas, follows the legendary adventure of D’Artagnan as he quests to become one of the Kings musketeers. This new stage adaptation is billed as “sultry, passionate and full of the heat of Parisian summers.”

The Three Musketeers will run from 3 December until 2 January.

Thriller Live has been drawing audiences from far and wide since it opened at the West End’s Lyric Theatre in January 2009. It has now announced an extended run until January 2011. Theatre tickets for the hit music and dance show are on sale now.

Originally billed for a four month run, Thriller Live extended after the death of Michael Jackson, the musical inspiration behind the show. As well as extending the West End season, the show has now gone on to launch an extensive world tour.

Press have labelled the show “a total blast” and “a salutary reminder that Michael Jackson’s music is an important segment in the sequence from blues, jazz and Motown to rap and disco. It’s the history of modern pop music, and it’s the music the modern musical theatre forgot about.”
The show features song after song taken from the original pop sensations back catalogue, covering all of the hit albums that shaped his incomparable career. Songs are accompanied by hand-jiving, hot-gospelling and body popping for a mesmerising show of music and movement.

The cast includes Kieran Alleyne in the role of young Jackson, accompanied by Denise Pearson as the Five Star lead vocalist. Roger Wright, Ricko Baird, Ben Foster and John Moabi also lend their Michael Jackson interpretations.

Following Clybourne Park is Nina Raine’s Tribes, which sees the return of director Roger Mitchell to the venue after a break of 15 years. Tribe’s follows the struggle of a deaf young man trying to be heard in what promises to be a “fascinating dissection of belonging, family and the limitations of communication”

The Jerwood Theatre downstairs will round off the season with Get Santa! A “magical, musical and downright mischievous” play by Anthony Neilson and Nick Powell. Every year Holly makes a special wish to Santa – to see her real father, but instead all she gets is useless presents. It’s Christmas Eve and this year she is going to take matters into her own hands. Get Santa opens on 1st December and runs until 15th January.
