SUMMARY:Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® Hamlet
DESCRIPTION:Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® have toured the world\, broken America\, established themselves on London’s West End\, won numerous awards\, and survived a zero-star review in The Times.

The rest of the cast must then navigate the play\, improvising their way through the unpredictable chaos that springs from their inebriated colleague’s booze-fuelled antics. \nSh!t-faced Shakespeare® ?are excited to once again drunkenly stomp all over the greatest dramatic work ever committed to page in the English language: the story of a privileged whiny lad who goes a bit bonkers and does some stabbings. \n“How the hell did they make it to 15 years?!” we hear you cry. Book now and find out!

SUMMARY:Myra DuBois: Cosmic Empath
DESCRIPTION:After a barnstorming 2024 which saw Myra sell-out venues across the UK and Ireland with her critically acclaimed show ‘Be Well’\, registered empath Myra DuBois returns to the stage with a brand-new show Cosmic Empath. \nThe empath strikes BACK! Boldly caring where compassion has never cared before. An adventure giving you time (and space) to heal. When questioned on her upcoming tour\, Ms DuBois stated: \n“Most people would spend some time idling on the shores of some far off semi-private island after enduring the workload 2024 dumped on my plate\, but not me! How could I desert my public\, right as I need them most? I’ve consulted my own wellness guide\, the very Reverend Dr Guru Malcolm\, and he tells me that right now every star of the cosmos is looking at me with expectation. I don’t think my new show Cosmic Empath” shall let them down!” \nCosmic Empath sees Myra DuBois questioning where her great gift for compassion comes from. Her up-bringing? Her ancestors? The COSMOS? Who can say? All we know is that with Myra’s trademark killer wit and a singing voice that’s truly like no-one else’s\, it’s going to be out of this world!

SUMMARY:Attention All Shipping
DESCRIPTION:‘Dogger\, Fisher\, German Bight’: Charlie Connelly brings the shipping forecast vividly to life in this hilarious and moving celebration of an iconic cultural institution. Charlie explores the broadcast’s remarkable history\, unlocks its beguiling mysteries and tells riproaring stories of his own adventures among the sea areas\, ensuring the forecast will never sound the same again. \nHow did a weather forecast for ships capture the hearts of a nation\, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber?

And where the hell is North Utsire? \nDelving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it\, Charlie explains what those curious phrases really mean\, celebrates its wide cultural impact\, shares riproaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas – the times he was accused by the media of trying to annex Rockall from the British government and sang sea shanties with Tom Hardy in a Manx hotel bar while Scary Spice pulled the pints – and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement. \nInspired by Charlie’s bestselling book\, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies worldwide\, this pacy\, moving and hilarious show takes you all the way from Viking to South-East Iceland to ensure the shipping forecast will never sound the same again

SUMMARY:A Day to Remember
DESCRIPTION:On a single day in May 1915\, nearly 11\,000 British and Indian soldiers were wounded or killed during the ill-fated Battle of Aubers Ridge. Among them were hundreds of young men from Northamptonshire\, many of whom never made it more than a few metres from their trenches. \nPerformance poet Toby Thompson presents a powerful reflection on the lives lost during this devastating chapter of the First World War. Through vivid and evocative poetry\, the piece delves into not only the brutality of the battle but also the youthful hope of the summer of 1914\, and how modern generations continue to connect with the legacy of the Great War. \nFeaturing a rich soundscape by Buster Grey-Jung\, and direction by award-winning theatre maker and Artistic Director Jesse Jones\, A Day To Remember brings history into sharp focus through the voices of the present. \nOriginally commissioned by Royal & Derngate in 2015 as part of a wider project exploring the impact of the First World War on local communities.
