Shadow Boxing
Wed 22nd September 2010
by James Gaddas
Shadow Boxing presents a struggle for dignity and respect. It pulls no punches in its depiction of a boxer facing his toughest opponents yet, his personal demons.
The son of a boxer who couldn't win, Flynn is determined not to end up like his father. He becomes a successful fighter through utter dedication. But is his gruelling training a way of avoiding aspects of himself he'd rather not face? A crisis builds as he moves closer to a title fight, and the play rushes to a shattering conclusion.
An emotionally intense and highly physical performance from Jonny Collis-Scurll, labelled ‘one to watch' by The Stage for his performance in Weepie during last year's Fringe.
Ticket Prices: £5.00
Time: Performance Begins: 3pm

A world premiere of a new play by Alice Batchelar

Down The Rabbit Hole takes place in this turbulent emotional territory where reality and fantasy merge, and places both Lewis Carroll and Alice at the centre of the action, seeing the narrative as a reaction to a young girl’s growing up and changing.

Blood Brothers
Wed 22nd September 2010
by Willy Russell
Fast-moving and perceptive, entertaining and thought-provoking, funny yet ultimately tragic, the play tells the captivating tale of twin boys separated at birth only to be reunited by a twist of fate and a mother's haunting secret.
Spanning the post-war years of the late ‘50s to the class divides of Thatcher’s ‘80s, Blood Brothers looks at the differences and conflicts of the boys' upbringings in Liverpool. A powerful story of childhood, adolescence, parenthood and superstition.
The play which became the hit West End musical is shockingly relevant again as the country faces the prospect of savage cuts in spending and services and the spectre of mass unemployment looms once more.
By the internationally celebrated author of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine.

The Dumb Waiter
Thu 23rd September 2010
by Harold Pinter
In a seedy basement below a café, two assassins await instructions for their next assignment. Primed and ready, they don’t know when the call will come, or who their next victim will be. One thing’s for sure: they weren’t expecting an order for steak and chips!
Classic Pinter – spare, claustrophobic, simultaneously menacing, hilarious.
With echoes of current world events, the play raises questions about power, politics, class, friendship and, ultimately, betrayal.
Pinter’s unique style in this early gem of a play pre-figures Quentin Tarantino’s gangster movies by many years… A masterpiece by the sadly-missed Nobel Prize winning playwright.

An Audience With Howard Marks
Wed 20th October 2010
Described by the Daily Mail as 'the most sophisticated drugs baron of all time', Howard Marks has worked with the British Secret Service and has been connected with the Mafia, the IRA, MI6 and the CIA.
Busted in 1988 by the American Drug Enforcement Agency and sentenced to twenty-five years at America's toughest federal penitentiary; Terre Haute, Indiana. He was released on parole in 1995 after serving seven years.

On the subject of his book, he says: "Through a plethora of media interviews and several public book readings, it became clear that the predominant reason why so many adolescents and university students read and enjoyed Mr Nice was their frustration with the law prohibiting cannabis consumption and trade. Until then, I had no idea of the extraordinary extent of cannabis use by young people today."
Famous for his audacious cannabis trafficking and liberal opinions, Howard Marks has become somewhat of an icon in the world of literature and spoken word. Following the worldwide sucess of his autobiography 'Mr Nice' and with the imminent release of Bernard Rose's film the same title, Howard is to now taking his lauded "An Audience with Mr. Nice" on tour to share his experiences face to face with the public.

The Madness of George III
Wilde Enterprises in association with South Hill Park, Eastbourne Theatres and Anvil Arts
Fri 29th - Sat 30th October 2010
The year is 1788. George III is King. King of England. He has a loving wife, a nation of subjects, a loyal parliament, and the world kneels at his feet....
But he’s a little odd.
The king’s behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic, and word has it he’s addressed an oak tree as the King of Prussia! Doctors are called in, parliament falters, and the Prince Regent manoeuvres himself into power.
From the hand of national treasure Alan Bennett, author of The History Boys and Talking Heads, The Madness of George III is a brilliant exploration of duty and kingship, an epic play about the ties that bind us together as family, as a society and as a nation. Gripping drama, dangerous politics and irreverent comedy collide in a rollercoaster ride where the health of the nation is at the mercy of the mental health of one man.
Starring Simon Ward (Judge John Deed, Zulu Dawn, Young Winston, All Creatures Great And Small) and Susan Penhaligon (The Land That Time Forgot, No Sex Please We’re British, Bouquet of Barbed Wire), this marks the first touring production of the play since the original award-winning production by the National Theatre in 1991 and the subsequent hit 1994 film starring Nigel Hawthorne.
Directed by Alastair Whatley. Design by Victoria Spearing. Lighting design by Alan Valentine. Costume design by Fiona Davis
Ticket Prices: £10.00 Full Price. (£8.00 Concessions)
Time: Performance Begins: Fri 29th Oct 8pm, Sat 30th 2:30pm & 8pm
Age Restriction: For those aged 12 years and older.

Tiny Volcanoes
Paines Plough and Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse present
Thu 4th November 2010
The Great British Bulldog has been usurped by snarling hybrids. The bowler hat has morphed into the hoodie. The culture of polite society is now a culture of blame and hatred as our land of hope and glory is torn into extremes.

Strap yourselves in for a full throttle rollercoaster ride through the dilapidated attractions of noble old Blighty exposing the millions of tiny volcanoes bubbling up through our green and pleasant land. With hymns.
By Laurence Wilson. Directed by James Grieve. Featuring Kevin Harvey and Michael Ryan

Red Square
Wed 1st December 2010
Red Square is the solo improvisation project of University Lecturer and Performer James McNicholas. The name for the project was selected entirely at random and such is the great spirit of improvisation! Every performance is entirely improvised in the moment of live performance and is accompanied by live improvised music. It may or may not be humerous, it may or may not be surreal and it may or may not be what you expected. The performances will broadly relate to the idea of a 'theatre of dark beauty'; a theatre style and philosophy being developed by McNicholas in both his creative and academic work. Dark beauty is feminine, receptive and meditative, which draws the audience in by way of creating a minimalist atmosphere. This does not create a rule by which the improvisation must follow, but does however act as an open stimulus for the performances in terms of its intended aesthetic.
Ticket Prices: £5.00 Full Price (£3.00 Concessions)
Time: Performance Begins: 8pm
Age Restriction: For those 16 years and older

Bully
Theatre Tours International Presents
Wed 8th December 2010
A taste for malice haunts the males of his bloodline vampirically passing from grandfather to father to first born son with the exactitude of clockwork but, as the timid younger brother, spanning his life from tragic childhood to tainted adulthood, Fry charts the inner afflictions of a well meaning soul who trys to break the cycle by becoming a sufferer... rather than the bully.
With no resources other than his own sharp tongue to convey a deeply moving and edifying study of the human condition, this sincere, eloquent rendering of a timeless theme is reminiscent of Greek tragedy in all its sturdiness and spoken in dextrous verse. You will admire its art, its wit and verbal dexterity, and thrill at the frequently vulgar, slang-addled story.
A sell out sensation at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe, Bully is a mesmerising experience and a most exemplary and powerful monologue.
Written and performed by Richard Fry.
Ticket Prices: £10.00 Full Price (£8.00 Concessions)
Time: Performance Begins: 8pm

Call Me Mr. Robeson
Sat 11th December 2010

campaigner. When he gets too radical and outspoken for the establishment's liking, he is branded a traitor to his country, is harassed, and

River, and a spectacularly defiant testimony to the Senate House Un-
American Activities Committee.
