We have booked an evening performance at the Mill at Sonning for ‘My Fair Lady’. This Theatre is set majestically on the banks of the River Thames and now celebrates more than 30 years of entertainment. Uniquely, as the only dinner theatre in the United Kingdom, it has gained unrivalled praise both nationally and internationally. This wonderful musical includes songs ‘Wouldn’t It Be Loverly’, ‘On The Street Where You Live’, ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ and ‘Get Me To The Church On Time’.

About this excursion
£110 per person (Early bird booking £100 if booked before 28 November)
The show will make an ideal Christmas gift or something to cheer you up during the dark 
winter days just after the holiday season.
The musical follows the story of Eliza Dolittle, a Cockney flower girl who speaks in ‘yowls’ and not ‘vowels’, who is plucked off the streets of London by the arrogant Professor Higgins who declares he can pass her off as a Duchess in six months.
It also includes a score including songs Wouldn’t It Be Loverly, On The Street Where You Live, I Could Have Danced All Night and Get Me To The Church On Time.
Directors, designers, actors, musicians, of the highest quality help maintain its exceptional reputation. Many new plays premiere here from established to young up-and-coming writers. All productions are created on the premises. Nothing is ‘brought in’. Rehearsal rooms buzz with activity. Sets are built in our workshop. Costumes designed and made in their wardrobe. In their kitchens, fresh food is prepared daily. And they say proudly “with not a microwave in sight”.
About the Theatre
This intimate theatre seats 215 in the semi-round allowing the audience to
feel involved in the performance. The elegant restaurant, separate from the theatre but within the premises, with views over the sparkling Thames has the friendliest young staff of waiters and waitresses. A spinning waterwheel features in the cosy bar.
The Mill is completely self-sufficient. No sponsors, no grants – not a penny of tax-payers’ money supports us. They live on our patronage at their box office.
The atmosphere is welcoming, the setting beautiful and the standards are high.
