The Two Popes
2022-10-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
From the writer of the Academy Award-winning Bohemian Rhapsody, Darkest Hour, and The Theory of Everything , comes the play that sparked a major motion picture.
Nine years ago, Pop Benedict XVI stunned the world by resigning, the first Pope in 700 years to do so. What drove this arch conservative to break with sacred tradition and make way for a one-time tango club bouncer, football-loving reformer with the common touch to become Pope Francis, one of the most powerful men on earth?
Starring Anton Lesser (Game of Thrones, The Crown, Endeavour) and Nicholas Woodeson (Baptiste, The Death of Stalin, The Danish Girl) this gripping and entertaining play by Anthony McCarten premiered at Royal & Derngate, Northampton in 2019 and was adapted into the multi-award winning film for which McCarten was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy, Golden Globe, and BAFTA Awards. It now returns to Royal & Derngate as part of a major new tour.
Directed by Royal & Derngate’s Artistic Director James Dacre (2020 Olivier Award nominee for Our Lady of Kibeho) with the original music by Grammy and BRIT Award- winning composer Anne Dudley.
The Two Popes is a fascinating, humorous story that shines a light into one of the world’s most secretive institution. At its heart lies a timeless question: in moments of crisis, should we follow the rules or our conscience?

£6 per lecture or £20 for the whole series ticket (includes tea/coffee and biscuits)
Enactment, the public display of theatre and makebelieve, have long been part of human social and religious interaction, fostering communal participation and understanding as well as different forms of interpretations and ways of seeing. Join us as we explore four distinctly different phases of public display and storytelling through the art historian’s eye. Our journey starts with the enactments of medieval mystery plays, halts at the Italian Commedia dell’Arte and its importance particularly for the arts of Rococo Europe, reaching its apogee in exploring how William Hogarth and Richard Garrick immortalized the theatre. Our final session will address the use of art in the theatre of war. Please note that this lecture series runs in conjunction with the current exhibition at Abington Park Museum which until December 2022 charts the history of Northampton’s Masque theatre group.
Booking essential.

Artist Adam Moore will present a workshop that combines space, body, movement and art. He will be leading a 3 hr session in which participants are invited to explore the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, the emotions that bodies and places hold, and ways by which transitions from stillness to movement, from silence to talking, can open up new ways of engaging with the spaces we inhabit. The workshop will begin with an exercise that combines mindful awareness and the movement of bodies inside the temporary gallery space at Vulcan Works, proceeded by a group walk through Beckets Park. The session will end with a drawing and painting exercise, in which participants will be invited to express their experiences.
Adam Moore is a British-St. Lucian artist from east London explores themes of multiculturalism, unity and resilience at the intersectional discourses and embodied explorations of sustainability. He is part of international networks including Theatrum Mundi and Diaspore Projects. He co-designed and facilitated the syllabus for Camden Art Centre’s 2021-22 Youth Collective with Madeline Pledge.

Lucy Worsley
2022-10-15 19:30 - 21:30 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
Spend an evening with the Queen of History, Lucy Worsley, as she delves into the fascinating life of the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie.
For these unique, live illustrated talks, Lucy will present one of the most elusive and enigmatic figures of the twentieth century. Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was ‘just’ an ordinary housewife, when she clearly wasn’t? Agatha went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness. So why – despite all the evidence to the contrary – did she present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure?
Sharing her research based on the writer’s personal letters and papers, Lucy will uncover the real Agatha Christie – the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman.
This promises to be an entertaining and enlightening evening, emphasising not just Agatha’s unique gifts as a storyteller but her revolutionary qualities as a determined, successful, and thoroughly modern woman.
Lucy is Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces and a hugely popular writer, broadcaster and speaker. Her recent TV series include Blitz Spirit with Lucy Worsley (BBC One) and Lucy Worsley Investigates (BBC Two). Lucy has an OBE for services to history, and her series Suffragettes with Lucy Worsley won the BAFTA.
