Tilted Wig & Malvern Theatres in association with Theatre by Lake present The School For Scandal by Richard B Sheridan. With Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, RSC and Shakespeare’s Globe star Joseph Marcell Gossip never goes out of fashion. Sir Peter Teazle (Joseph Marcell) believes his young wife is sleeping with someone else. She isn’t. But she’s starting to think if her husband believes it, she may as well give it a go. After all, if you’re going to cause a scandal, you might as well enjoy it… Deliciously naughty and outrageously silly, this timeless comedy is a masterclass in social satire and the art of gossip. Featuring an unforgettable cast of larger-than-life characters, each armed with a lacerating wit, The School For Scandal is one of the greatest comedies ever written. Join us for a lightning-paced evening of romance, revenge and rollicking fun that promises to leave you entertained, enamoured – and perhaps even a little scandalised!

Feel the Flow –Lisa Timmerman
We are delighted to welcome Lisa Timmerman, who returns, after 10 years, to 78 Derngate to display her evocative work in our newly refurbished galleries for her 5th solo exhibition: ‘Flow’.
For Lisa, the journey to this exhibition began in Burma Myanmar in 2016 and flowed through to a quote by Kabul Gibron: ‘Beauty is not in the face, beauty is a light in the heart.’ Since 2019 she has been working with oil, cold wax and other painting techniques, experimenting with ways to give the viewer their own lift and ‘light in the heart’ moment.
Enjoy the moving tranquillity of these paintings and reflect on the thoughts behind them at Lisa Timmermanâ€™s exhibition entitled â€œFlowâ€�. It runs from Wednesday April 3rd to June 29th in our Barwell Room and Mezzanine Galleries, open 10 am â€“ 4.30 pm (closed Mondays). Free entry to exhibitions, all work for sale. Why not take the perfect opportunity and combine a visit to the exhibition together with a trip round the adjacent Charles Rennie Mackintosh House (for which there is an entry fee) gardens, restaurant and shop.
