Three generations of women. One extraordinary year. Happy-go-lucky Amber, fresh out of school, is high on life, double sambucas and boyfriend Paul. That is until the fierce indigestion starts. Lorraine attacks a customer and her boss wants her to see a psychiatrist. She is told to do one nice thing for herself each week, so she starts by signing up for Salsa classes. Meanwhile, Kay is finding life on the wrong side of sixty frustrating. Ailing husband Gem doesn’t like the neighbours coming in to “mind” him, and she’s missing more than just his conversation. And if all that wasn't bad enough, Little Gem makes his presence felt and – well – life is never the same again.

Dolly Parton tribute by the Agents Association of Great Britain! Undeniably one of the BEST Dolly impersonators you will ever see, West End star Kelly O’Brien performs the beloved hits of country legend Dolly Parton, brilliantly recreating the vitality and voice of the little lady from Tennessee. Kelly is the best in the business; she sounds like Dolly Parton, she looks like Dolly and she’s as witty and entertaining as Dolly. The show includes up-tempo numbers like 9 to 5, Baby I’m Burning and Islands in the Stream, as well as powerful ballads such as I will Always Love You, Jolene and Coat of Many Colours.

Paddy McGuiness A true professional. An incredible tribute to the Queen of country music. Bobby Davro Wow. Kelly is ferocious as Dolly! Michael Bublé You rock bigtime. Thank you for being so kind and generous with your time and attention. You were brilliant! Jo Wiley (Radio one) You’re such an amazing singer and I loved how you paid tribute to what a generous and admirable woman she is. Your performance of Coat of many colours bought my friend to tears. You totally won my heart. Thank you for a great evening. Tom Holland (Author & Historian) Well that was just incredible!! The Dolly Show @LiveatZedel is a masterclass in charisma and magnetism, warmth and how to handle any crowd with style! Far beyond a tribute act. This is a star homage by someone who is a natural star themselves! Bunny Galore (London) Oh my god, seriously AMAZING!!! Powerhouse voice on this pocket rocket of a woman!!! I grew up watching 'The Dolly Parton Show' on TV with my family. This is a huge childhood memory for me - back in the days of The Donnie & Marie Osmond Show, Fat Cat - the good old days. Kelly absolutely nails Dolly - her persona, humour, voice, mannerisms, the way she holds herself, every little detail. It's quite amazing to see. Of course I cried. Talent on this level always gives me goose bumps and tears. Add to that - when the whole crowd is singing along...outta control. I love it. I look at you all and feel so overwhelmed with genuine emotion. You get it and we love you for that. We hope Kelly comes back next time she's in Australia. What an absolute honour for us. Forever grateful mate. The Pepper tree (music venue, Adelaide) My wife and I attended the Dolly tribute night and what a fantastic night it was. ‘Dolly’ was outstanding, from the moment she arrived she engaged with us all, amusing and entertaining, her voice, annerisms and rendition was as if Dolly was in the room. We had been to the Savoy Theatre the previous week to see 9to5 the musical but the performance by Kelly was far better and we cannot recommend her enough. Her final rendition of ‘Little sparrow’ without music brought the house down. Incredible.” Nigel Lea (Kent) Gallery Friends of the Garrick Become a Friend of the Garrick!

The society is committed to practice which protects children from harm. All members of the society accept and recognize their responsibilities to develop awareness of the issues which cause children harm. ​ The society believes that: ​ The welfare of the child is paramount; All children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious beliefs and/or sexual identity have the right to protection from abuse; All suspicions and allegations of abuse should be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately; All members and employees of the society should be clear on how to respond appropriately. ​ The society will ensure that: All children will be treated equally and with respect and dignity; The welfare of each child will always be put first; A balanced relationship based on mutual trust will be built which empowers the children to share in the decision making process; Enthusiastic and constructive feedback will be given rather than negative criticism Bullying will not be accepted or condoned; All adult members of the society provide a positive role model for dealing with other people; Action will be taken to stop any inappropriate verbal or physical behaviour; It will keep up-to-date with health & safety legislation; It will keep informed of changes in legislation and policies for the protection of children; It will undertake relevant development and training; It will hold a register of every child involved with the society and will retain a contact name and number close at hand in case of emergencies. ​ The society has child protection procedures which accompany this policy. This policy should also be read in conjunction with the society’s Theatre Handbook and Health & Safety Policy. The society has a dedicated Child Protection Officer, who is in charge of ensuring that the Child Protection policy and procedures are adhered to. ​ This policy will be regularly monitored by the Executive Committee of the society and will be subject to annual review. Child Protection Procedures Responsibilities of the Society At the outset of any production involving children the society will: ​ Undertake a risk assessment and monitor risk throughout the production process; Identify at the outset the person with designated responsibility for child protection; Engage in effective recruitment of chaperones and other individuals with responsibility for children, including appropriate vetting (if necessary in consultation with the local education authority); Ensure that children are supervised at all times; Know how to get in touch with the local authority social services, in case it needs to report a concern. ​ Parents ​ The society believes it to be important that there is a partnership between parents and the society. Parents/guardians are encouraged to be involved in the activities of the society and to share responsibility for the care of children. All parents will be given a copy the society's Child Protection Policy and procedures .All parents/guardians have the responsibility to collect (or arrange collection of) their children after rehearsals or performances. It is NOT the responsibility of the society to take children home. ​ Unsupervised Contact The society will attempt to ensure that no adult has unsupervised contact with children. If possible there will always be two adults in the room when working with children. If unsupervised contact is unavoidable, steps will be taken to minimize risk. For example, work will be carried out in a public area or in a designated room with a door open. If it is predicted that an individual is likely to require unsupervised contact with children, he or she may be required to obtain a criminal record disclosure. ​ Physical Contact All adults will maintain a safe and appropriate distance from children. Adults will only touch children when it is absolutely necessary in relation to the particular activity. Adults will seek the consent of the child prior to any physical contact and the purpose of the contact shall be made clear. ​ Managing sensitive information ​ The society has a policy and procedures for the taking, using and storage of photographs or images of children. ​ Permission will be sought from the parents/guardians for use of photographic material featuring children for promotional or other purposes. ​ The society’s web-based materials and activities will be carefully monitored for inappropriate use. ​ The society will ensure confidentiality in order to protect the rights of its members, including the safe handling, storage and disposal of any sensitive information such as criminal record disclosures. ​ Suspicion of abuse ​ If you see or suspect abuse of a child while in the care of the society, please make this known to the person with responsibility for child protection. If you suspect that the person with responsibility for child protection is the source of the problem, you should make your concerns known to the Chairman. Please make a note for your own records of what you witnessed as well as your response, in case there is follow-up in which you are involved. ​ If a serious allegation is made against any member of the society, chaperone, venue staff etc., that individual will be suspended immediately until the investigation is concluded. The individual will be excluded from the theatre; rehearsal rooms etc. and will not have any unsupervised contact with any other children in the production. ​ Disclosure of abuse ​ If a child confides in you that abuse has taken place: ​ Remain calm and in control but do not delay taking action. Listen carefully to what has been said. Allow the child to tell you at their own pace and ask questions only for clarification. Don’t ask questions that suggest a particular answer. Don’t promise to keep it a secret. Use the first opportunity you have to share the information with the person with responsibility for child protection. Make it clear to the child that you will need to share this information with others. Make it clear that you will only tell the people who need to know and who should be able to help. Reassure the child that they did the right thing in telling someone. Tell the child what you are going to do next. Speak immediately to the person with responsibility for child protection. It is that person’s responsibility to liaise with the relevant authorities, usually social services or the police. As soon as possible after the disclosing conversation, make a note of what was said, using the child’s own words. Note the date, time, any names that were involved or mentioned, and who you gave the information to. Make sure you sign and date your record. ​ Recording ​ In all situations, including those in which the cause of concern arises from a disclosure made in confidence, the details of an allegation or reported incident will be recorded, regardless of whether or not the concerns have been shared with a statutory child protection agency. ​ An accurate note shall be made of the date and time of the incident or disclosure, the parties involved, what was said or done and by whom, any action taken to investigate the matter, any further action taken e.g. suspension of an individual, where relevant the reasons why the matter was not referred to a statutory agency, and the name of the persons reporting and to whom it was reported. ​ The record will be stored securely and shared only with those who need to know about the incident or allegation. ​ Rights & Confidentiality ​ If a complaint is made against a member of the society he or she will be made aware of their rights under the society's disciplinary procedures. ​ No matter how you may feel about the accusation, both the alleged abuser and the child who is thought to have been abused have the right to confidentiality under the Data Protection Act 1998. Remember also that any possible criminal investigation could be compromised through inappropriate information being released. ​ In criminal law the Crown or other prosecuting authority has to prove guilt and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. ​ Accidents ​ To avoid accidents, chaperones and children will be advised of ‘house rules’ regarding health and safety and will be notified of areas that are out of bounds. Children will be advised of the clothing and footwear appropriate to the work that will be undertaken. ​ If a child is injured while in the care of the society, a designated first-aider should administer first aid and the injury will be recorded in the society’s accident book. This record will be counter-signed by the person with responsibility for child protection. If a child joins the production with an obvious physical injury a record of this will be made in the accident book. This record will be counter-signed by the person with responsibility for child protection. ​ Criminal Record Disclosures ​ If the society believes it in is in its best interests to obtain criminal record disclosures for chaperones or other personnel it will inform the individual of the necessary procedures and the level of disclosure required. An Enhanced disclosure will be required. The society will have a written code of practice for the handling of disclosure information and aim to prevent misuse. ​ Chaperones ​ Chaperones will be appointed by the society/appointed persons for the care of children during the production process. By law the chaperone is acting in loco parentis and should exercise the care which a good parent/guardian might be reasonably expected to give to a child. The maximum number of children in the chaperone’s care shall not exceed 12. ​ Potential chaperones may be required to supply photographic proof of identity and two references from individuals with knowledge of their previous work with children, unless already well known to the society. They may also be asked to sign a declaration stating that there is no reason why they would be considered unsuitable to work with children. ​ Chaperones will be made aware of the society’s Child Protection Policy and Procedures. Where chaperones are not satisfied with the conditions for the children, they should bring this to the attention of the director/stage manager. If changes cannot be made satisfactorily the chaperone should consider not allowing the child to continue. If a chaperone considers that a child is unwell or too tired to continue, the chaperone must inform the director/stage manager and not allow the child to continue. No child of compulsory school age is permitted to do anything which may endanger life or limb. This could include working on wires or heavy lifting. Chaperones should tell the director/stage manager to cease using children in this way, and should contact the local authority. During performances, chaperones will be responsible for meeting children at the stage door and signing them into the building. Children will be kept together at all times except when using separate dressing rooms. Chaperones will be aware of where the children are at all times. Children are not to leave the theatre unsupervised by chaperones unless in the company of their parents/guardians. Children will be adequately supervised while going to and from the toilets. Children will not be allowed to enter the adult dressing rooms. Chaperones should be aware of the safety arrangements and first aid procedures in the venue, and will ensure that children in their care do not place themselves and others in danger. Chaperones should ensure that any accidents are reported to and recorded by the society. Chaperones should examine accident books each day. If an accident has occurred, the producer is not allowed to use that child until a medically qualified opinion has been obtained (not just the word of the parent or child). Chaperones should have written arrangements for children after performances. If someone different is to collect the child, a telephone call should be made to the parent/guardian to confirm the arrangements. Children should be signed out when leaving and a record made of the person collecting. If a parent has not collected the child, it is the duty of the chaperone to stay with that child or make arrangements to take them home. ​ This policy is applicable to and focuses on, children of compulsory school age and below. A child is required to attend school unless they are over the age of 16 on 31st of August, or until the last Friday in June after their 16th birthday. Join our mailing list Subscribe
