Previews for June 2025

June 9th Progressive Players present Pressure by David Haig at the Little Theatre, Gateshead.

The rarely told story of why D-Day happened on 6 June 1944, this tense dramatisation of  real events is set in Southwick House, the Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Force. Pressure follows the 72 hours up to the launch of forces for D-Day and the critical decisions meteorologists had to make that could win or lose World War II.

Progressive Players are taking the pressure off with a special offer of 25% of all tickets for opening night, on Monday the 9th of June.

The Royalty Theatre in Sunderland are going back to the 1980s with The Wedding Singer.  Rock star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s most in-demand wedding singer: “Love is what I do”. However, when his own wedding plans go down the pan and he is left standing at the altar, Robbie's heartbreak suddenly makes him the worst wedding singer you can find. He ruins every wedding he plays at until he connects with Julia, a pretty young waitress who dreams of her own perfect wedding. There’s just one problem: she’s already engaged.

Playing from 24th-28th June, tickets are
