BallyBest theatre production company is delighted to bring Café Franglais to The Stables. It’s a café-chantant celebration of French and English popular songs, with vocalists Tamara Leggett and Neil Sellman, and musical director David Manners

Café Franglais runs for just two nights: on 30 September and 1 October you can enjoy a generous menu degustation of songs from Novello and Schwartz to Piaf and Trenet – with all manner of tuneful crumpets and croissants in between.

BallyBest’s previous productions at The Stables have included Picture Perfect, performed by Olivier Award-winning Liza Sadovy and signed to producers Beckman Unicorn for a film. Here at Last is Love, directed by Jason Morel, won the 2022 NODA Southeast Best New Show. Kabarett, also produced by David Manners, is a Weimar-inspired night of music, satire and surprise, and was brought back by popular demand for a second sell-out production.
