PENARTH Operatic and Dramatic Society (PODS) will be performing their current show The Hot Mikado at the Paget Rooms from now until Saturday, May 16.

East meets west head-on in this hilarious 1940’s-style update of a Gilbert and Sullivan favourite.

Featuring an intoxicating mix of styles and influences, including classics such as A Wand’ring Minstrel I and Three Little Maids are transmuted into show-stopping blues, swing, hot gospel numbers and scorching torch songs. Find out what happens when the clean lines and colour of Japanese design combine with the big band sights and sounds of popular American song and dance.

Tickets cost £10 or £9 for concessions and are available from pods.ticketsource.co.uk or from ticketsecretary@pods-penarth.org. You can call Brian Gardener on 02920 712260 or get them from the Tenovus shop, Windsor Road, Penarth.
