SUMMARY:David Olusoga: A Gun Through Time
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever considered how a single weapon could change the course of history? What stories lie behind the guns that shaped empires\, wars\, and even criminal underworlds? How did these firearms influence not just battles\, but entire societies? \nKnown for his acclaimed documentaries Black and British: A Forgotten History and A House Through Time\, David Olusoga offers remarkable storytelling in this powerful\, unexpected and enlightening social narrative. \nJoin David as he uncovers the story of four firearms that changed the world and the lives of our ancestors. \nThe Thompson Sub-Machine Gun was the wonder weapon that was supposed to end to the slaughter of the First World War. But in the hands of the gangsters of Prohibition-era America it became the infamous ‘Tommy Gun’. \nThe Maxim gun enabled Europeans to conquer Africa in the 1890s\, but 20 years later it became one of the biggest killers in European history when deployed on the Western Front. It is still being used to considerable effect on the battlefields of Ukraine. \nThe Brown Bess flintlock musket\, standard issue to the British Army from the early 18th to mid-19th century\, was famously used in conflicts from the American War of Independence to Waterloo\, symbolising the height of British imperial military power. \nThe Lee Enfield rifle was woven into the lives of two generations of our ancestors. With 17 million of them produced it was the weapon the British Army took to war in 1914 and 1939. \nSee these legendary firearms up close on stage and delve into their mind-bending hidden social histories. You’ll also have the chance ask David your own questions about any historical topic.

SUMMARY:SIX: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:DIVORCED ★ BEHEADED ★ LIVE! \nThe crowning glory of Broadway\, the West End and beyond\, the international smash hit musical SIX makes its royal return to Northampton following its previous sell out success! \nWinner of over 35 international awards including the Tony Award for ‘Best Original Score’ and ‘Best Costume Design’\, double winner of the Whatsonstage Award for ‘Best West End Show’ and a Gold-Disk winning album\, this sell-out Tudor take-off has ‘an incredibly strong and powerful message’ (The Australian) and is ‘pure entertainment’ (New York Times). \nFrom Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses\, the six wives of Henry VIII take to the mic to tell their tales\, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power. These Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red. \nThink you know the rhyme\, think again… \nDivorced. Beheaded. LIVE! \n\nACCESS ENHANCED PERFORMANCES \nAudio Described & Touch Tour – Wed 13 May 6pm (Touch Tour begins at 5pm)\nThis performance will be audio described by Talking Theatre. \nBSL Interpreted – Thu 14 May 8pm\nThis performance will be BSL Interpreted. \nPlease click here for Access Information
