READING FRIENDS

An exciting and eclectic exhibition of the work of fifteen prominent Northamptonshire artists as part of the ever-expanding Northants Open Studios programme of events. Covering a range of media from painting and printmaking to glass, textiles and collage, there is something for everyone.

Infamously and eternally connected with the Sex Pistols and the DIY ethic of punk, Jamie Reid’s image-making has equally, over the decades, been at the centre of activist movements. Taking Liberties! features posters, banners, drawings and collages designed by Jamie Reid with the express purpose of viscerally grabbing the public’s attention, increasing awareness of campaigns for social justice and change.

Featuring stars from the hit production Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat **? The Dreamcoat Stars have finally been revealed ? Join Keith Jack (Star of BBC’s Any Dream Will Do), Mike Holoway (Longest Running Joseph) , Sam Cassidy (TV Star and UK Tour Joseph) and Graham Tudor (West End Star) at The Old Savoy as they sing their way through the UK’s favourite musical theatre hits!
