Guys and Dolls by Music Theatre Warwick.

With a cast of 20 and a band of 11, the group have taken inspiration from the music scene of 1950s USA, with Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra influencing their character portrayals.

Director Siobhán Lynn Brennan said: “We aim to highlight the comic moments by contrast to the darker ones, and thus provide highs and lows that make the catharsis of a happy ending ultimately more satisfying.”

The show is on from Wednesday (May 14) until Saturday May 17 at 7.45pm each evening, with an additional Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. For tickets (£11.50 and £9.50), call 024 7652 4524 or visit www.warwickartscentre.co.uk
