Imagine This Review
Imagine This follows the lives of ordinary people trapped inside a Warsaw Ghetto during the second world war. The prisoners that are the subject of the story are mainly made up of a family run theatre company. Whilst inside the ghetto, the head of the family and owner of the theatre company, played by musical theatre veteran Peter Polycarpou, decides to continue with the play that they were working on when imprisoned and perform for an audience of the other prisoners. This creates a play within a play with the prisoners play telling the story of Masada, in which an estimated 960 Jews in 70 AD held out in a hillside fortress against the Roman army, and eventually committed mass suicide rather than surrender.

When speaking to BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat, Goldberg commented “We’re taking the show and redefining it and making it work. If you are fortunate enough to be a part of something wonderful, I feel it’s important to pass the baton.” The star said some changes had been made, adding that the main character, Deloris, would be younger than she was when Goldberg played her in the film.
No decisions have been made about casting, although Goldberg said the singers they have heard so far will “tear the house down”.
“Sister Act will never die,” said Goldberg. “It’s like the Mickey Mouse Club, it’s never going anywhere.

Booking restaurants made easier
We have updated our restaurants page to make it easier to book restaurants online.
We were aware that our search function didn’t make it very easy to narrow down your search for a restaurant to an area more specific than a town. Working with Livebookings, who run the booking facility for both us and at the restaurant side, we have now implemented a much easier and more targeted search form.
The new restaurants page not only enables the user to narrow down their search to a more targeted location but also has the option of specifying whether you are looking for a table for breakfast, lunch or dinner and/or cuisine type right from the initial search. This eliminates the possibility of displaying the results for the user only to find that the time period they are looking for is not available on the required date.
