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: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:Rose Finn Kelcey: House Rules
DESCRIPTION:Arts Collective launches its new gallery programme with an exhibition revisiting the pioneering work of British conceptual artist Rose Finn-Kelcey\, curated by Emer Grant. This marks the first presentation of the artist’s work in her hometown of Northampton. \nFeaturing photographic\, installation and video works loaned from national collections and archives\, the exhibition recontextualises Finn-Kelcey’s groundbreaking practice through architectural space and coded forms. It considers how formal systems and power structures shape experience through architecture\, language\, ritual and atmosphere. \nExhibited publicly for the first time since its original installation\, Bar Doors (1991) captures architectural thresholds\, foregrounding moments of passage between spaces. The photographic documentation of Finn-Kelcey’s site-specific installation—seven saloon-style doors installed in a Houston city park—invites viewers to reconsider familiar architectural features as markers of access and permission. \nThe exhibition also explores Finn-Kelcey’s fascination with spirituality and its connections to the commercial and domestic structures of contemporary life\, featuring works such as It Pays to Pray (1990)\, God Kennel – A Tabernacle (1992) and Jolly God (1997). Her iconic flag works are also presented\, including documentation of Power for the People (1972)\, in which a collective political declaration was placed directly onto the monumental architecture of Battersea Power Station while it remained operational. \nThroughout the exhibition\, architecture\, movement and attention shape how the works are encountered. Finn-Kelcey’s work offers a lens through which to experience 24 Guildhall Road as an active structure—shaped by play\, language and collective imagination. \n\n\n\n\nImage Credit: Rose Finn-Kelcey Bar Doors (Photograph of installation) 1991 \nWood\, Houston International Festival\, Buffalo Bayou Park\, Houston\, Texas.

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.

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.
