Date for your diary -Theatre production in English in Nyon on Friday 27th November. Win tickets to see it!
Living in Nyon is delighted to announce it is in collaboration with the Usine a Gaz for the production of Dickens "Great Expectations". This production will be in English and will be performed by Thêatre Kayonan and is a perfect way to begin the Christmas season. It's also a great opportunity to meet other Anglophones on the evening, have a drink at the bar and begin the weekend watching classic theatre with a twist.
Michelle Milner plays Pip the hero/ narrator and the beautiful Ella. Douglas Fowley Junior plays old Miss Havisham and other characters. With music composed and played by Yves Cerf this promises to be a production "envoûtant" (bewitching).
The bar opens one hour before the production so I hope to meet Living in Nyon readers at 20:00 for a drink.
If anyone is interested in going for an early meal/ pizza before this then let me know (at the email below same as for the competition ) and I will compile a list and reserve a table for us all.
The Usine a Gaz is offering a chance to win four tickets (2 pairs of two tickets) to this production via this site! Just send your name and details to cnp at (@) bluewin.ch and I will put the names into a hat for a draw on Wednesday 10th November and I will let winners know by email.
Theatre Kayonan is a professional theatre company presenting works by English-language authors in English and French. The Geneva-based company plays in Switzerland and internationally.
Tickets for this production are 28 CHF and available either to book on the Usine a Gaz site, at FNAC, Carrefour in Segny in France, Disque Service in Nyon, Service Culturel Geneve, Migros La Combe, Stand info in Balexert or they are available at the ticket office an hour before.
Please note all readers, below is a selection of events happening around the area in the next few weeks.
