The Frogs

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Spymonkey’s tragically funny attempt to pull off a classic Greek comedy Written by Carl Grose and Spymonkey, with massive apologies to Aristophanes Spymonkey’s Toby Park and Aitor Basauri are at the end of the road. The other Spymonkeys have taken themselves off to a better place, and they’re about to call it a day. To their rescue rides mega-rich philanthropist Patty Getty and her theatrically ambitious niece Jacoba with an offer they can’t refuse! But does this beleaguered comedy duo have what it takes to perform the classic Greek comedy The Frogs at Patty’s legendary amphitheatre in Hollywood? Shot through with Spymonkey’s uniquely surreal comedy, The Frogs is a delirious trip through Greek theatre, a monster-filled Underworld and classic vaudeville double acts but with existential angst, bronzed oiled torsos and a jumping chorus of tap-dancing frogs! What are you waiting for? Hop to it! A Royal & Derngate and Spymonkey co-production

The ’80s Show

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

The ’80s Show – The Greatest Tribute to the Greatest Decade, brings you the best ’80s party on the Planet! As we all know the ’80s was all about high energy and innovation, which produced some of the most memorable bands and styles of all time. Every band strived to be different and hardly any sounded the same making most hit records instantly recognisable from the first few seconds. The ’80s Show covers as many of these eras as possible and has gone to monumental lengths to get all the sounds and music absolutely perfect to take you on a journey of nostalgia to the golden days when it was all about fun. Featuring only the best musicians and singers around with female sax and percussionist this band are hard to tell the difference from the record! Add to that an amazing light/video/laser show, you can sing and dance away to the massive hits of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Duran Duran, Whitney Houston, Tears For Fears, Madonna, Spandau Ballet, Kim Wilde, Wham, Tiffany, Go West, Level 42, Belinda Carlisle, OMD, Erasure, Elton John, David Bowie and many more, with a few nice surprises. Frankie says “Don’t miss it!”
