Kettering Arts Centre are very excited to host the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company for a riotous Regency rom-com!

Meet misguided matchmaker Emma as she tries to play Cupid in this hilarious yet faithful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s satirical story.

In the days before dating apps, spoilt socialite Emma Woodhouse is convinced that Mr Knightley just isn’t that into her, that Harriet is a 100% match for Mr Elton and that Jane and Mr Dixon are made for each other. Will any of her acquaintances couple up? Will her marriage-meddling mess everything up? Will she attain any self-awareness by the end of the play?

Find out in this fast-paced, physical and funny show, filled with romance, music and The Pantaloons’ own charming brand of theatrical chaos.

The Pantaloons are the “inimitable” (Guardian) and “wholly charming” (Times) touring theatre company bringing a vital sense of “play” back to classical performance. In our theatre, your imagination is just as important as ours.

‘After defeat, re-enchantment is necessary’, said Lola Olufemi. This thought inspires Josie Long’s brand-new show of stand-up infused with humanity, compassion and some brief political rants. The triple Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, underdog Fringe hero and delirious new mother (the first person to have two babies) returns with a show about the changes wrought by time, passion, moving to Scotland, and loving the world under – let’s face it – difficult circumstances.

Kettering Arts Centre is proud to present – The funniest show you will see all year… Made up on the spot?!

That might sound impossible, but, THE NOISE NEXT DOOR have spent the last 15 years perfecting the art of winging it. Watch in amazement as they take audience suggestions and transform them into genuinely hilarious sketches and songs in the blink of an eye.

The Noise Next Door are twelve-time sell-out veterans of The Edinburgh Fringe and have appeared on ‘The One Show’ (BBC One), ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ (ITV1), and ‘Roast Battle’ (Comedy Central). They have also appeared alongside the likes of Michael McIntyre, Katherine Ryan, Romesh Ranganathan and Harry Hill.
