Classic Theatre

Airing Fridays at 8 PM

Repeats Sundays at 3 PM

Stories of romance and human conflict... exciting frontier adventure.... the best in drawing room comedy.... sweeping sagas that bring alive the pages of history.... all with outstanding international casts - and it comes in big two-hour episodes you can really sink your teeth into.

Each episode of Classic Theatre is introduced by peter McCoppin, the well-known conductor of the Victoria Symphony Orchestra. Mr. McCoppin's commentary and story synopses provide continuity throughout the evening's episode and from one week to the next.

Mingling among the idle rich characters in The Mixer - airing March 24 and 31 and April 7 - is Sir Anthony Rose, a witty and handsome barrister who secretly heats crooks at their own game. And on April 14 and 28, ailing Martin Chuzzlewit exposes a number of gold-digging relatives after feigning senility in this adaption on Dickens' classic.

If good drama is your passion, you'll get your fill with Classic Theatre... Fridays at 8 PM... only on the Knowledge Network.
