A NEW year to look forward to, and a new season at the Malvern Theatres.

January will bring a new selection of theatre, film, music and dance, starting with Shared Experience's production of Jane Eyre.

This is set to be followed by other dramas following rave reviews, including Mike Leigh's new play Two Thousand Years, and Almeida Theatre's production of Festen, appearing at Malvern as part of an 11-week tour.

Plays include Pauline Macaulay's The Creeper, Noel Coward's comedy Private Lives and Present Laughter, along with comedies Losing Louis and The Safari Party.

Music lovers will be entertained by the Russian State Ballet's performances of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet and Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, among other musical treats to delight fans, including new work from both Random Dance and Henri Oguike.
