SUMMARY:Rude Science
DESCRIPTION:The naughtiest\, funniest\, most revolting science show in the world. \nBrace yourselves for BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates’ revolutionary\, high-tech\, highly-explosive new show\, packed with outrageous science stunts. On the surface it’s a riot of disgusting experiments built to delight young audiences but under the bonnet it’s a brilliantly-constructed curriculum-driven adventure designed to inspire Britain’s kids with a lasting fascination for science. \nExpect enormous bottoms\, f*rt machines\, snot cocktails\, vast whoopee cushions\, pee-powered fireworks and ear-wax-oozing mannequins in this celebration of the fascinating bodily science essential to life. The show transforms complex biology\, physics and chemistry into educational hilarity using Stef’s signature stunts and encyclopaedic science knowledge. \nStefan Gates is an award-winning presenter of 20 TV series (including five for CBBC including Incredible Edibles\, Gastrolab and Gastronuts)\,and a STEM author of 12 books (including Fartology and Science You Can Eat)\, and he’s internationally renowned for his clever\, high-octane\, highly-educational stage shows that inspire young audiences to fall in love with science. \n\nBoth shows are followed by a 40mins post-show meet and greet and photo opportunity with Stefan \nContent Warning:\nLoud bangs\, audience participation\, latex balloons\, stage fog.

SUMMARY:Oak Apple Day
DESCRIPTION:An ancient ceremony of thanksgiving at All Saints’ Church will commemorate Oak Apple Day and kickstart the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of Northampton.\n\n\n\nThe annual civic ceremony\, organised by Northampton Town Council and the Lord Lieutenancy\, remembers the generosity of King Charles II\, who donated over 1\,000 tonnes of timber to reconstruct All Saints’ Church and halved the town’s taxes for seven years following the blaze in 1675.\n\n\n\nThe event on Thursday\, May 29 will see a detachment from the Honourable Artillery Company of Pikemen & Musketeers be accompanied by the ‘A’ Company LNR ACF Corps of Drums\, with a parade and musket firing taking place on the piazza of All Saints’ Church around 12pm.\n\n\nThe civic procession will then enter All Saints’ Church for a thanksgiving service led by Father Oliver Coss.\n\n\n\nThe High Sheriff of Northamptonshire will then invite the Mayor to place an oak leaf wreath on the statue of Charles II\, standing high on the church’s portico. A prayer of thanksgiving is then read by the Lord-Lieutenant\, along with the playing of the National Anthem\, a toast to the Mayor and a final blessing.\n\n\n\n Stu Vincent Photography

SUMMARY:Gladiators of Britain
DESCRIPTION:Explore the history of gladiatorial fights in Britain. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe events of the amphitheatre – its wild beasts and enslaved fighters – are one of the most enduring aspects of Roman culture that still capture the public imagination today. \nThis touring exhibition brings together some of the country’s most important objects to tell the story of Britain’s entertainment venues and the people who died to the roar of the crowd. It will reveal the violence of the arena\, and the importance of spectacle within Roman culture. \nHighlights include the Colchester Vase loaned by Colchester Museums\, which records an actual battle between two real gladiators\, and the Hawkedon Helmet\, the only confirmed piece of gladiatorial armour from Roman Britain. These iconic loans will be supported by a selection of other items that reveal the popularity of gladiators throughout Roman society. \nThis tour is in partnership with Colchester and Ipswich Museums and is inspired by the recent exhibition at Colchester Castle\, Gladiators: A Day at the Roman Games which featured British Museum loans. It will explore Roman spectacle in the local region\, following in the footsteps of the gladiators who fought in the amphitheatres of Britain.

SUMMARY:BA Acting: Earthquakes In London
DESCRIPTION:Earthquakes In London by Mike Bartlett weaves together the lives of three sisters – Sarah\, Freya\, and Jasmine – against the backdrop of a world on the brink of environmental catastrophe. The narrative spans several decades\, exploring themes of climate change\, family dynamics\, and personal responsibility.\nSarah\, a government minister\, grapples with political and ethical dilemmas. Freya\, pregnant and anxious about the future\, seeks stability. Jasmine\, the youngest\, rebels against societal norms. Their estranged father\, Robert\, a climate scientist\, adds complexity with his dire predictions and revelations. \nEarthquakes In London challenges audiences to reflect on their impact on the planet and the legacy they leave behind. It’s a powerful call to action\, urging us to consider the consequences of our choices and the importance of hope and resilience in the face of global challenges. \nThis production comes to Royal & Derngate from the 3rd Year BA Acting students at the University of Northampton.
