 In addition to the spring drama season, Steven Berkoff’s play The Trial (March 23 – 24) re-tells Kafka’s classic story of victimised citizen Joseph K, All the Single Ladies (April 13) provides the perfect girls’ night out and Fever Pitch (April 28) is the ultimate tribute to ‘the beautiful game’.

 Peter Bailey, manager of Worthing Theatres, says: “The spring season includes a mix of exciting and bold new shows as well as a few familiar favourites.  After such a fantastic December we are especially thrilled to reveal our two pantomimes for this year and the live film events bring a new dimension to the already varied programme of great films throughout the year.”
