Company (late April 2012)

With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Company follows the story of five married,
once married, or soon to be married couples and their mutual friend Robert, a 30-
something bachelor who has been unable to commit to a long-term relationship even
with himself. In vignette after hilarious vignette and some of Sondheim's best numbers
such as "Being Alive", "Side by Side" and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy", Robert
weighs the pros and cons of married life. More details will be published on our website
later in the year.

Chorus Line or Ragtime (June 2012)

Our June show has yet to be fully confirmed, but it is likely to be either ‘Chorus Line’ or
‘Ragtime’, both of which offer a large number of roles and an exciting challenge for
Mayhem. For those unfamiliar with Ragtime, written by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn
Ahrens, the award winning musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families,
as they confront history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and
prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America. So watch this space!

A Midsummer Night's Dream Tour (late July 2012)

This is definitely a first for Mayhem. Not only have we introduced our first play into the
season, but also an outdoor performance mini tour! The Midsummer Night's Dream tour
will take place across a weekend in late July with 3 outdoor performances where
audiences will be invited to bring a picnic and bottle of wine and enjoy a spot of
summer Shakespeare. The tour will kick off with a performance in London on the
Thursday evening before departing on the Friday afternoon for the exotic Home
Counties for two further shows in the grounds of a beautiful stately home on Friday and
Saturday evening.
