13/01/2010 to 20/02/2010 IT'S NEVER ALRIGHT ON THE NIGHT!
life in the theatre. The glamour and the gossip. Backstage, on stage, in dressing rooms and casting couches. This is a collection of legendary tales of the world behind the footlights. The jokes, myths, mishaps, scandals, perks, pitfalls, the tat and glamour, the highs and the lows – and that’s before you get on stage. Simon Williams has has lovingly garnered these bits and bobs from years of sitting in stage-door pubs after closing time and in theatrical digs up and down the country. The stories range from Noel Coward to Zsa Zsa Gabor, from weekly rep in Wiggan to Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Interspersed with the best of backstage musical numbers such as DON’T PUT YOUR DAUGHTER ON THE STAGE MRS WORTHINGTON, THERE’S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS, WE OPEN IN VENICE and many more.

09/02/2010 to 10/02/2010 JOURNEY'S END
The young, talented and war-weary Captain Stanhope is confronted with the fresh face of his past as an old schoolmate joins his platoon. As the offensive looms ever closer, Stanhope must inspire his men to make the ultimate sacrifice for a war he no longer understands and for a cause he no longer remembers. This compelling play based on R. C. Sherriff's own experience in the trenches with its heroism, humour and inevitable tragedy shows humour and courage in the face of certain tragedy.

09/02/2010 ROYALS v PLYMOUTH - COCA-COLA CHAMPIONSHIP
THE Royals are suddenly on a roll - three fantastic performances in the FA Cup and now back-toe back league wins as well. But they still sit perilously in the bottom three, with zero margin for too many more errors. Their two worst performances this season have been the 4-1 defeats at QPR and Plymouth. QPR were flying at the time, but there was absolutely no excuse for the disgraceful way the Royals capitulated to second-bottom Plymouth in December. Now they have a swift chance to exact some revenge - but this will be no cakewalk. Plymouth may have struggled this season, but, like Reading, they are possibly in a false position in the table, so don't expect anything but a tough game.

13/02/2010 ROYALS v WEST BROM - FA CUP 5th ROUND
Having seen off Liverpool so magnificently in the third round of the FA Cup, and then doing a very clinical job on Burnley in the fourth, the Royals are home again in round 5 with fellow-Championship side West Brom at the opposite end of the park. It's potentially a tougher game than Burnley, because with the way the football pendulum swings, the Baggies are probably a stronger side right now than Burnley. That said, when the Royals went to the Hawthorns earlier in the season it proved yet another of those days when Reading clutched defeat from the jaws of victory. They dominated the first half-hour and led 1-0, then gave away an absurd equaliser and lost their confidence. They also lost the game 3-1, but were in the game right to the end before West Brom scored one of those once-in-a-lifetime goals in the closing minutes. How many players have scored their best-ever goals against Reading? Step forward and join the club, Albion's Youssouf Mulumbu, who hopefully won't repeat his effort at the Mad Stad.
