SUMMARY:The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
DESCRIPTION:The Theatre Chipping Norton and Selladoor Worldwide present\nReduced Shakespeare Company\nin\nThe Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)\nby Adam Long\, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield. \nThe Theatre Chipping Norton and Selladoor Worldwide present a new version of the West End classic – rebooted and reimagined for 2026. \nAll 37 plays. Three actors. One wildly funny show. \nThe worldwide comedy hit returns with a brand-new\, updated version of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)\, a fast\, furious and gloriously absurd sprint through all of the Bard’s tragedies\, comedies and histories. \nExpect Hamlet performed backwards\, Titus Andronicus as a YouTube cooking tutorial\, and all of the History plays turned into a chaotic football match where the crown is kicked from king to king. Throw in lightning-fast costume changes\, sword fights\, outrageous improvisation and the result is a wildly inventive and hilarious celebration of Shakespeare. \nAfter nine years in London’s West End\, two TV specials and performances in over 20 countries\, the Reduced Shakespeare Company bring their legendary Shakespeare spoof to a new generation of audiences.

SUMMARY:Michaela Strachan: Not Just A Wild Life
DESCRIPTION:You’ve seen her cuddling orangutans\, being “Wide Awake” on Saturday mornings and almost skating to glory on Dancing on Ice. Now\, wildlife TV legend Michaela Strachan swaps the binoculars for the spotlight in her brand-new live theatre show Not Just A Wild Life. \nMarking 40 years in the public eye – on our screens\, in the wild and sometimes out of her depth. From The Wide Awake Club\, The Hitman And Her and The Really Wild Show to Countryfile\, Springwatch and beyond\, the show laughs at the chaos of TV\, celebrates the beauty of nature and reflects on what it means to grow up – and grow older – on screen. \nIt’s a high energy\, funny and heart-warming journey through four decades of conservation and re-invention. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be upstaged by an elephant\, wrangle the likes of Chris Packham\, or ice skate on National TV looking like Julie Andrews\, then this show is for you! Not Just A Wild Life promises an evening of inspiration\, nostalgia and genuine connection – for nature nerds\, nostalgia lovers\, and anyone who’s ever wondered how a rubber chicken can change the course of your life.

SUMMARY:From the Collection: Drawings
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of drawings from the Northampton Museums & Art Gallery collection. \nThis exhibition explores drawing as a fundamental artistic language\, presenting preparatory sketches and finished works that reveal how ideas take shape on paper. Through the delicate studies of Henry Moore\, the atmospheric sketches of Walter Sickert\, the imaginative designs of Sir Edward Burne Jones\, and the expressive drawings of Clare Abbatt\, amongst others\, visitors are invited to consider drawing not merely as a preliminary step but as an art form in its own right. The works on display highlight how artists across different periods and practices use line\, tone\, and observation to experiment\, problem solve\, and refine their vision. Together\, they celebrate drawing’s enduring role as a tool for exploration\, invention\, and creative thinking.
