All My Sons
AM-DRAM group The Chameleons return to the stage with Arthur Miller's play All My Sons for a three-day run.
The production tells the story of Joe Keller, who is alleged to have supplied Second World War fighter planes with defective engines, leading to the deaths of innocent pilots - a crime for which his business partner took the fall.
One of Keller's sons, himself a pilot, is thought to have been killed in action. His mother cannot accept his death and equally cannot accept that her dead son's fiancée has transferred her affections to her other son.
The confrontations that ensue lead to the uncovering of a shameful family secret.
Written in 1946, All My Sons won Miller a Tony award for best author.

Behind him are the Watford-based TBC Band - a play on the name of Elvis' own backing band, The TCB Band (which stood for Taking Care of Business) - which has three guitarists,a keyboard player and a drummer, and two female backing vocalists.
The show will relive Elvis as he was in the 1970s with those fantastic jumpsuits and that memorable lip quiver.
