WICKED
We finally get to see how Glinda the Good Witch had a hand in the creation
of the Wicked image that her school mate Elphaba eventually embraces.
Like many young kids, Elphaba is different. With an astute mind and
naturally green skin, she was never going to fit in. Both passionate and
committed and completely misunderstood by Glinda and her popular
friends.

old country house where friends gather to celebrate the birthday of the

Inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway
debut of Sholem Asch’s The God of Vengeance—a play seen by some as
a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous
libel--Indecent charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of
the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it.
Noel Coward’s totally-irresistible and semi-autobiographical comedy

fawning ingénues, crazed playwrights, secret trysts and unexpected twists.
In her mansion, silent-screen goddess, Norma Desmond, lives in a
fantasy world. Impoverished screen writer, Joe Gillis, on the run from

Norma’s ‘masterpiece’, a film script that she believes will put her back in
front of the cameras, he is seduced by her and her luxurious life-style. Joe
becomes entrapped in a claustrophobic world until his love for another
woman leads him to try and break free with dramatic consequences.
