Pirate Productions is putting on performances of "Too Darn Hot!" on Thursday 22, Friday 23, Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 May 2025 at the Centre Culturel Hollerich in Luxembourg-Hollerich (34 Rue Emile Lavandier).
The play will be performed each evening in conjunction with two other plays:
Thursday 22 and Friday 23 May 2025, three plays: My Father, Odysseus, Escurial and Too Darn Hot! at 19:00;
Saturday 24 May 2025, two plays: Escurial and Too Darn Hot! at 20:00;

Too Darn Hot! was first performed in November 2023 at the Centre Culturel Hollerich as a two-act piece, written and directed by Neil Johnson, current Chair of Pirate Productions. The show is a biography of the American composer and playwright, Cole Porter, who enjoyed great success on Broadway during the 1920s through to the 1950s with shows such as "Anything Goes", "Kiss me, Kate" and "Gay Divorcee".
"Too Darn Hot!" has been accepted as an official entrant to the Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies (FEATS) 2025 in Hamburg, Germany, the weekend of Friday 6 to Monday 9 June 2025.
FEATS takes place over four consecutive nights, Friday to Monday. Three one-act plays of a maximum 55 minutes are presented to an audience and an adjudicator each evening, so twelve plays in total. After the final play, awards are given by the adjudicator for the three best productions as well as for best stage presentation, best actor and best actress. The host group gives out an award for best stage management.
While the New World Theatre Club (NWTC) has regularly participated at FEATS over the years, this is a first for Pirate Productions.
