**Over at the Connaught Theatre in Worthing** you can catch some 1940’s burlesque in **Miss Nightingale**, a tale of gin, gents and garter-belts which runs til the end of the week.

Not just a cabaret, this is a ‘proper show’ with a story ‘n’ all, starring **Amber Topaz** as the eponymous heroine.

Northern songbird **Maggie Brown** (Topaz) has moved to London with her gay, Jewish songwriter **George** (Ilan Goodman) in search of fame, but nobody wants their act and things aren’t going swimmingly with her boyfriend **Tom** either.

Everything changes when **Maggie** and **George** are picked up by the charming and wealthy nightclub owner, **Sir Frank**, but while their careers take off, their love lives become entangled. Sexual secrets are revealed amongst some fantastic new songs by up-and-coming composer **Matthew Bugg**.

The show is a collision of wartime struggle, the racy world of burlesque dancing and the social prejudices of the era, highlighted through the touching, illicit romance between **Sir Frank** and **George**. It promises vintage glamour, a live band and some rather tasty men taking their shirts off.

I’ve heard nothing but good about this production, so it’s definitely worth a punt.

**Event:** *Miss Nightingale*  
**Where:** Connaught Theatre, Union Place, Worthing BN11 1LG  
**When:** Thurs, June 6 – Sat, June 8 (Sat matinee)  
Tickets: £16-£22 (£1 off for concs)
