BILL Naughton’s comedy Alfie and a stage adaptation of the classic film The Graduate form part of the spring season at Middlesbrough Theatre.

Alfie, best known for the film starring Michael Caine, is presented from Thursday to Saturday, March 27, with live 1960s’ music.

It tells the story of a cockney Don Juan who swaggers and philosophises his way from conquest to conquest, carefully rejecting anyone or anything that might touch him too deeply.

The same era saw the Oscar-winning film The Graduate, featuring songs by Simon and Garfunkel and starring Dustin Hoffman, which was also a West End and Broadway hit. The play is presented on April 13 and 14; audiences should be aware that it contains full nudity.

The plays are brought by Blackeyed Theatre and TABS Productions, two regular visitors to the theatre.

Tickets are £12, concessions £10, matinee £6, from the box office on 01642-815181 or 01642-729729.
