Thirsty for innovation and hungry for success, the son of a tailor will manage to open a wax museum but will soon shift focus to the unique and peculiar, introducing extraordinary, never-seen-before live acts on the circus stage. Some will call Barnum&#8217;s wide collection of oddities, a freak show; however, when the obsessed showman gambles everything on the opera singer Jenny Lind to appeal to a high-brow audience, he will somehow lose sight of the most important aspect of his life: his family.

His wife has no fortune, so it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well in order to support the others on his death. Jane Austen&#8217;s opening line, \u201cIt is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife&#8221; is a sentence filled with irony and playfulness. The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love, not simply for money, despite the social pressures to make a good (i.e. wealthy) match.<br \/><\/em><strong>You can book tickets via the &#8220;What&#8217;s On&#8221; page of the\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.watersidearts.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Waterside Arts website<\/a> or by phoning their box office on 0161 912 5616.<\/strong><em><br \/><\/em><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-1024x601.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-1200x705.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday 17 June \u2013 4pm &#8211;\u00a0 Heartbreak Productions (Waterside). \u201cThe Midnight Gang\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Welcome to the Midnight Gang!

Thirsty for innovation and hungry for success, the son of a tailor will manage to open a wax museum but will soon shift focus to the unique and peculiar, introducing extraordinary, never-seen-before live acts on the circus stage. Some will call Barnum's wide collection of oddities, a freak show; however, when the obsessed showman gambles everything on the opera singer Jenny Lind to appeal to a high-brow audience, he will somehow lose sight of the most important aspect of his life: his family. Will Barnum risk it all to be accepted?<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Doors open 7pm.

The story charts the emotional development of the protagonist, <a style=\"color: #339966;\" title=\"Elizabeth Bennet\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elizabeth_Bennet\">Elizabeth Bennet<\/a>, who learns the error of making hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between the superficial and the essential. The comedy of the writing lies in the depiction of manners, education, marriage, and money during the <a style=\"color: #339966;\" title=\"Regency era\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Regency_era\">British Regency<\/a> period.<\/em><br \/><em>Mr. Bennet of the Longbourn estate has five daughters, but his property is entailed, meaning that none of the girls can inherit it. His wife has no fortune, so it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well in order to support the others on his death. Jane Austen's opening line, \u201cIt is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife\" is a sentence filled with irony and playfulness. The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love, not simply for money, despite the social pressures to make a good (i.e. wealthy) match.<br \/><\/em><strong>You can book tickets via the \"What's On\" page of the\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.watersidearts.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Waterside Arts website<\/a> or by phoning their box office on 0161 912 5616.<\/strong><em><br \/><\/em>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"840\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-1024x601.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/walkdengardens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PP-plot-1200x705.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>Sunday 17 June \u2013 4pm -\u00a0 Heartbreak Productions (Waterside). \u201cThe Midnight Gang\u201d<\/strong><\/p><em>Welcome to the Midnight Gang!
