September 2022 - June 2023

Welcome Welcome to another spectacular season of work at The Everyman Theatre. I hope you have all had a great summer and are ready to join us this autumn and winter for some fantastic musicals, dramas and comedy; as well as our nationally acclaimed Pantomime! As part of the new season I am delighted that the Everyman Theatre will be hosting the national tour launch of The Lavender Hill Mob in October, the first ever tour of Girl From The North Country, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and hilarious stand-up from comic stylings as diverse as Stewart Lee, Harry Hill, Milton Jones and Dave Gorman. I am also pleased to announce the return of English Touring Opera after an extended absence as well as productions from The Dnipro Opera from Ukraine.

Along with our performances we’re pleased to be launching our all-new Priority Access Membership which will offer members discounted tickets as well as advance notification of performances and other member benefits. The new programme is a great way to get access to the best seats in the house and support the Everyman Theatre’s extensive community outreach and education programmes. Please see the back cover of this brochure for more information.

As we get closer to the festive season this year’s Pantomime will be supporting the work of two Gloucestershire charities, The Scrubditch Care Farm and St. James City Farm. It is our hope to support the work of these two fine organisations and raise funds to allow them to continue their vital work with vulnerable children, asylum seekers and refugees. The Everyman Theatre will continue to do as much as we can to reach out to those members of our local community most in need of support and encouragement As always, I hope you will enjoy your visits to our beloved theatre. Our team remains dedicated to making your night out a memorable one and we do not take your support for granted. We’ll see you at the show!

Sincerely,

Mark Goucher, Chief Executive

Spike KARL SYDOW, TRADEMARK FILMS AND ANTHOLOGY THEATRE PRESENT THE WATERMILL THEATRE PRODUCTION

BY IAN HISLOP AND NICK NEWMAN

“I’m not acting crazy. I’m the genuine article.”

An absurdly funny new play by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman (The Wipers Times, Trial By Laughter, A Bunch of Amateurs) that delves into the inner workings of one of our most unique and brilliantly irreverent comedy minds.

It’s the booming fifties, and Britain is in the clutches of Goon mania as men, women and children across the country scramble to get their ear to a wireless for another instalment of The Goon Show.

While Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers get down to the serious business of becoming overnight celebrities, fellow Goon and chief writer Spike finds himself pushing the boundaries of comedy, and testing the patience of the BBC. Will Spike’s dogged obsession with finding the funny elevate The Goons to soaring new heights, or will the whole thing come crashing down with the stroke of a potato peeler?

Ian Hislop And Nick Newman

Extracts from The Goons used with the kind permission of Spike Milligan Productions.

There will be a special post-show Q&A with Ian Hislop and Nick Newman following the performance on Wednesday evening.

Fisherman’s Friends The Musical BOOK BY AMANDA WHITTINGTON BASED ON THE SCREENPLAY BY NICK MOORCROFT, MEG LEONARD, PIERS ASHWORTH DIRECTED BY JAMES GRIEVE

A star cast includes James Gaddas, (Coronation Street, Billy Elliot the Musical), Parisa Shahmir (Mamma Mia!), Robert Duncan (Drop the Dead Donkey), Anton Stephans (The X Factor) and Susan Penhaligon (Bouquet of Barbed Wire).

Based on the true story of the charttopping Cornish singing sensations and their hit 2019 movie, Fisherman’s Friends: The Musical is a feel-good voyage about friendship, community and music which smashed box office records in Cornwall.

When a group of Cornish fishermen came together to sing the traditional working songs they’d sung for generations, nobody, least of all the fishermen, expected the story to end on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. They are spotted by a fish-out-of-water music manager on a trip from London, who must learn that there is more to life than selling your sole for fifteen minutes of fame.

So climb aboard, find your sea legs and allow yourself to fall for this critically acclaimed musical – hook, line and sinker!

Directed by James Grieve and with a book by Amanda Whittington, Fisherman’s Friends: The Musical features choreography by Olivier Award nominee Matt Cole, Set and Costume Design by Lucy Osborne, Lighting Design by Johanna Town, Sound Design by Dan Samson, Casting by Jim Arnold and musical supervision by David White.

MISS MARP L E RETURN S TO T H E STAG E . . .

everymantheatre.org.uk

01242 572573

PRESENTED BY ORIGINAL THEATRE COMPANY

The Mirror Crack’d Susie Blake, Sophie Ward and Joe McFadden star in Miss Marple’s return to the stage...

But can anything be hidden from Miss Marple, the sweet old lady with mind like a steel trap?

1960s England and a wind of change is blowing through the land.

A brand-new production of Rachel Wagstaff’s (Birdsong, The Girl on the Train) acclaimed adaptation produced by the award-winning Original Theatre Company who brought you Alan Bennett’s The Habit of Art, the smash-hit comedy Invincible and the acclaimed Birdsong.

It has even reached the sleepy village of St. Mary Mead. There’s a new housing estate to make the villagers curious and fearful. And even stranger, a rich American film star has bought the Manor House.

Jane Marple, confined to a chair after an accident, is wondering if life has passed her by.

Then there is a vicious murder, and Miss Marple must unravel a web of lies, tragedy and danger.

This adaptation of Agatha Christie’s famous novel brings real emotional depth and psychological insight to a thrilling story of revenge and the dark secrets that we all hide.

Joe McFadden

Starring Susie Blake as Miss Marple (Victoria Wood’s As Seen on TV, Coronation Street, Mrs. Brown’s Boys) Sophie Ward (A Very British Scandal, Holby City, Land Girls) and Joe McFadden (Holby City, Heartbeat and Strictly Come Dancing 2017 winner).

‘Playing Miss Marple is every actors dream over the age of 50. To play a bright, independent, older woman is surprising and exciting for the period it was written in as well as in our society today.’

BY ANTHONY MCCARTEN

STARRING ANTON LESSER

DIRECTED BY JAMES DACRE

AND NICHOLAS WOODESON

From the writer of the Academy Awardwinning Bohemian Rhapsody, Darkest Hour, and The Theory of Everything, comes the play that sparked a major motion picture.

film for which McCarten was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy, Golden Globe, and BAFTA Awards.

Nine years ago, Pope Benedict XVI stunned the world by resigning, the first Pope in 700 years to do so. What drove this archconservative 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 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 new play from Anthony McCarten premiered at Royal & Derngate, Northampton in 2019 and was adapted into the multi-award-winning

The Lavender Hill Mob STARRING MILES JUPP AND JUSTIN EDWARDS

A brand new, hilarious adaptation of the classic Ealing Comedy The Lavender Hill Mob will be opening in Cheltenham prior to a national tour!

Come and see one of the nation’s favourite films brought to life on stage in a brand new adaptation by the Olivier-nominated playwright Phil Porter, directed by Tony and Olivier-nominated Jeremy Sams and starring Miles Jupp (The Thick of It, Rev, The Durrells, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?) and Justin Edwards (The Thick of It, Black Books, Veep, Father Brown).

This side-splittingly funny, fast-paced comedy tells the story of Henry Holland, an unassuming bank clerk who dreams of stealing the gold bullions he transports across London each day.

When Henry learns that his new lodger makes Eiffel Tower paperweights out of lead, he devises a plan to make his dream a reality. It’s a golden opportunity to pull off the crime of the century, they’d have to be fools to mess it up …

Written by T.E.B Clarke, directed by Charles Crichton and starring comedy legends Alec Guinness and Sid James, The Lavender Hill Mob was released by Ealing Studios in 1951 to critical acclaim. The film was the winner of the Best Original Screenplay Oscar and was ranked in the BFI’s top twenty greatest British films of all time.

Come and rediscover this much-loved classic in the brand-new stage play that promises to be the most fun night out of the year!

The men who broke the bank and lost the cargo are back!

The Everyvoice Community Choir Winter Concert

Harry Hill: Pedigree Fun!

Milton Jones in Milton: Impossible

EXTRA PERFORMANCE ADDED DUE TO OVEWHELMING DEMAND

The Everyvoice Community Choir is excited to be returning to its spiritual home on the Everyman Theatre’s historic main stage.

The choirs will be performing a very special selection of songs from a wide variety of genres and musical eras.

Harry is back with brand-new amazing jokes in an allsinging, all-dancing one-man spectacular.

“I hadn’t realised how much I missed performing live until lockdown stopped me from doing it,” says Harry, “It’s great to be going back on stage and the good news is I am planning a very silly show.”

One man. One Mission. Is it possible? No, not really.

Him with the shirts from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and Radio 4.

Audiences will meet Harry’s new baby elephant, Sarah, and Ian, The Information Worm.

Milton reveals the truth about being an international spy, before being given a disappointing new identity which forced him to appear on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo. But this is also a love story with the twist, or even a really bad sprain.

Harry will also be joined by Stouffer the Cat (his famous sidekick) who commented “What can I tell you? When Harry calls, you say yes.”

Just gloriously daft nonsense or is there a deeper meaning?

Every man has his price.

Beautiful - The Carole King Musical BOOK BY DOUGLAS MCGRATH WORDS & MUSIC BY GERRY GOFFIN & CAROLE KING, BARRY MANN & CYNTHIA WEIL MUSIC BY ARRANGEMENT WITH SONY/ATV MUSIC PUBLISHING

A brand new production of the Award Winning West End and Broadway show, Beautiful – The Carole King Musical, comes to Cheltenham.

Long before she was Carole King, the charttopping music legend, she was an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent. Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit song-writing team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history.

Along the way, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation, with countless classics such as (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Take Good Care of My Baby, You’ve Got a Friend, So Far Away, It Might as Well Rain Until September, Up on the Roof, and The Locomotion.

Relatively Speaking

BY ALAN AYCKBOURN DIRECTED BY ROBIN HERFORD PRESENTED BY THEATRE ROYAL BATH PRODUCTIONS

Beautifully crafted, uproariously funny and charmingly English, Relatively Speaking was Alan Ayckbourn’s first West End hit in 1967.

It made him a household name, with critics hailing the arrival of a great new comic talent and Noël Coward himself praising the young writer on creating “a beautifully constructed and very funny comedy”.

Antony Eden has recently been seen in the West End in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and The Woman in Black and starred in previous Ayckbourn comedies Family Album, A Brief History of Women and Ten Times Table.

Greg only met Ginny a month ago but has already made up his mind that she’s the girl for him. When she tells him that she’s going to visit her parents, he decides this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter’s hand. Discovering a scribbled address, he follows her to Buckinghamshire were he finds Philip and Sheila enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the garden, but the only thing is, they’re not Ginny’s parents…

Liza Goddard is one of the UK’s favourite actresses. Her extensive range of Ayckbourn credits incudes Life of Riley, Communicating Doors and Season’s Greetings.

Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)

BY ISOBEL MCARTHUR AFTER JANE AUSTEN

The five-star comedy sensation direct from the West End. Direct from its triumph in the West End where it won the Laurence Olivier Award, Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) is a unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s most iconic love story. Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation, where the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance.

It’s the 1800s.

It’s party time.

Let the ruthless matchmaking begin.

Deserves the standing ovations it’s getting nightly’” THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

Wodehouse in Wonderland

Prue Leith: Nothing in Moderation

Dave Gorman: Powerpoint To The People

A performed reading of a new play by William Humble Starring Robert Daws

Prue Leith in her first ever one woman show, tells her wonderful and surprising story from growing up in Africa to being the judge on the world’s biggest TV baking show.

Dave Gorman, the man behind Dave TV’s hit show Modern Life Is Goodish as well as Are You Dave Gorman? and Googlewhack Adventure, is back on the road with a brand new live show, Powerpoint To The People.

Based on the life and writing of P.G. Wodehouse, with songs by Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Ivor Novello.

P.G. Wodehouse (Plum to his friends), played by veteran stage and screen actor and novelist Robert Daws, is working on the latest adventure of Bertie Wooster at his New York State home in the 1950s when he’s interrupted by a would-be biographer, his adoring wife and daughter, and his two prized Pekingese.

Never pulling any punches Prue tells all: the ups and downs of being a successful restaurateur, novelist and businesswoman, of feeding the rich and famous, cooking for Royalty and poisoning her clients. Nothing is off the menu in this frank, revealing and very funny show.

Recommended for ages 12+

The ‘high priest of the comedy Powerpoint talk’ (The Times) is touring again - as much as anything to demonstrate that a Powerpoint presentation doesn’t have to involve a man in a grey suit standing behind a lectern and saying ‘next slide please’. **** “Hugely entertaining.”

The Dnipro Opera from Ukraine Three classic productions featuring an impressive cast and live orchestra of over 30 musicians.

Performed by the Dnipro Opera from Ukraine.

Madama Butterfly Aida

Carmen

No opera can match the tragedy and sorrow of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly.

A gripping love story that will keep you on the edge of your seats until the very end.

Set in Japan at the turn of the last century, it is the story of a doomed love affair between an American naval officer and his young Japanese bride whose self-sacrifice and defiance of her family leads to tragedy.

This touching tale of innocent love crushed between two utterly different culutures resonates as strongly as ever in today’s world.

A deeply moving opera overflowing with emotion and containing moments of despair and uncertainty. Aida is an unforgettable, inspiring experience.

Carmen tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who falls head over heels in love with Carmen, a seductive, free-spirited femme fatale.

Mrs Warren’s Profession

BY GEORGE BERNARD SHAW DIRECTED BY ANTHONY BANKS PRESENTED BY THEATRE ROYAL BATH PRODUCTIONS

What is Mrs Warren’s Profession?

Mrs Warren’s daughter Vivie has never really known much about her mother. A sensible young woman, she has enjoyed a comfortable upbringing, a Cambridge education, a generous monthly allowance and now has ambitions to go into the Law. Is it conceivable that her privilege and respectability has been financed from profits of the world’s oldest profession? How will Vivie react when she finds out the startling truth about her mother’s business empire and that freedom comes at an emotional price?

Shaw’s acid test of a mother-daughter relationship is one of his wittiest and most provocative plays.

Written in 1894 but banned for thirty years by a Lord Chamberlain who found it “immoral and improper”, Mrs Warren’s Profession is a ripe attack on English hypocrisy and its “fashionable morality”.

Twice winner of the British Comedy Award for Best Comedy Actress, Caroline Quentin’s many television roles have ranged from Men Behaving Badly, Kiss Me Kate and Jonathan Creek to Stephen Poliakoff’s Dancing on the Edge and the 2020 season of Strictly Come Dancing.

Anthony Banks was Associate Director at the National Theatre from 2004 – 2014. His many directing credits include The Girl on the Train, Twilight Song, Gaslight, Strangers on a Train, After Miss Julie and My Cousin Rachel.

“Caroline Quentin is a joy’” MAIL ON SUNDAY

“One of our greatest comic actresses” INDEPENDENT

“Beneath the play’s ever topical attack on hypocrisy lurks a good deal of genuine emotion” MICHAEL BILLINGTON

Simon Shepherd’s many credits include Alex Rider, ITV’s Peak Practice and the West End productions of Hay Fever, Posh, The Duck House and Art. Vivie is played by Caroline’s real-life daughter, Rose Quentin. Shortly after graduating in 2019, Rose starred in the horror movie York Witches Society, and recently created the role of Katrina Van Tassel on tour in the stage version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Wendi Peters and Bill Ward.

Giulio Cesare, Lucrezia Borgia and Il Viaggio a Reims PRESENTED BY ENGLISH TOURING OPERA

English Touring Opera returns to Cheltenham with three great operas encompassing love and war, comedy and epic tragedy.

Giulio Cesare, Handel’s retelling of Caesar’s relationship with Cleopatra, is a majestic opera, in which the characters are driven to extreme feelings and actions, and in which the music strikes at the heart.

Lucrezia Borgia is a tragedy of great pathos. Donizetti created in Lucrezia one of his greatest roles - known as one of history’s most notorious poisoners, she is a cunning strategist and a loving mother at the same time, a complex women in a dangerous situation.

Il Viaggio a Reims is set in a provincial hotel, where guests from all over Europe are stranded on their way to a coronation. Lost luggage, intrigue, politics and romance all play their part in Rossini’s last Italian opera.

Unusually, each opera is performed on period instruments in partnership with the much-praised Old Street Band.

The Way Old Friends Do

FOR ANYONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW IT FEELS TO BE A FAN OF ABBA The Way Old Friends Do, written by Ian Hallard, is a new comedy about devotion, desire and dancing queens.

other plays include Adventurous (Jermyn Street Theatre), Steenie (The Turbine) and Horse-Play (Riverside Studios).

In 1988, two Birmingham school friends tentatively come out to one another: one as gay, the other - more shockingly - as an ABBA fan.

Nearly thirty years later, a chance meeting sets them on a brand-new path and they decide to form the world’s first ABBA tribute band - in drag!

But can their friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road which includes platform boots, fake beards and a distractingly attractive stranger?

Olivier Award Winning Director Mark Gatiss is best known for his work as an actor, writer and producer on Sherlock, Dracula, and Doctor Who, and for being one quarter of comedy troupe The League of Gentlemen. He has just directed The Unfriend at Chichester Festival Theatre to critical and audience acclaim.

The brand new comedy from the actor, writer and producer of Sherlock and Doctor Who.

Simultaneously tender and laugh-out loud funny, this heartfelt story will appeal to anyone who understands how it feels to be a fan: of ABBA or of anyone.

As an actor, Ian Hallard’s theatre credits include The Boys in the Band (West End, Whatsonstage Best Actor nomination), Great Britain and Scenes From An Execution (National Theatre). His

THE TIMES

Titanic - The Musical

Sister Act

In the final hours of 14th April 1912, the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and ‘the unsinkable ship’ slowly sank. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the 20th Century. 1517 men, women and children lost their lives.

DIRECT FROM THE WEST END

Based on real people aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic The Musical is a stunning and stirring production focusing on the hopes, dreams and aspirations of her passengers who each boarded with stories and personal ambitions of their own.

With music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and a book

by Peter Stone (Woman of the Year and 1776), the pair have collectively won an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, an Olivier Award and three Tony awards.

The original Broadway production of Titanic The Musical won five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. This stunning production celebrates the 10th anniversary of its London premiere where it won sweeping critical acclaim across the board.

Cheltenham 1881: In the kitchen of the von Holst household, Clara is wracking her brains to think what to cook for supper. Her two little boys, Gustav and Emil, are in bed, husband Adolph is visiting a Montpellier hostelry after a concert and the new maid has taken to her room.

Abalone’s desperate, he’s taken holiday to commit armed robbery and now he has a woman stuffed into the boot of his classic car.

Join us at The Last Motel to see if Abalone’s hostage changes his perspective on life.

Joe has always been a nerd.

In his teens, he hid it. In his twenties, he owned it.

Like so many Victorian housewives, Clara turns to Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management for advice. But Clara is a talented musician and her mind wanders from stockpots to a time when she still had dreams of her own… Then into her kitchen, bustles Mrs Beeton herself, the mob-capped matron of our imagination and Clara’s stern taskmaster. But is Bella Beeton all that she seems?

‘A perfect piece of theatre, more than a hint of Tarantino and Lynch’ Fictionmaker.

‘A kind of homespun Fargo with more theatrical flair’ Edfringe Review A psychological thriller from the team behind Communicate (‘A beautiful tapestry about life’ Oldham Reporter).

Written by award nominated Jeremy Fletcher, whose work has been performed on Sky TV (Fest Live) and has toured nationally.

PRESENTED BY SHEEPISH PRODUCTIONS

Now in his thirties, Joe is still obsessed with Nintendo, Star Wars, and A Muppets Christmas Carol. But he’s started to notice something about the way certain fans are behaving - something unsettling. When Joe finds himself alone, in his old room, sorting through his old things, he finds an old video tape, long forgotten. He dusts off the VCR, presses play…and something strange starts to happen!

Award-winning writer-performer Joe Sellman-Leava (Fringe First, Labels 2015) explores our relationship to our past and future selves and asks why his generation is so obsessed with its childhood.

The Midnight Mission

Unknown

Hauntings

Something’s going bump in the night! Agents Dali & Kahlo of top-secret global creative agency Company of International Artists, receive a code red call which means only one thing: ART IN PERIL! They’re going to need the sharpest agents to crack this case. Will you join the team?

A play about homelessness by Dougie Blaxland.

An evening of three chilling ghost stories by M.R. James and E.F. Benson.

You’ll travel to Villa Diodati on the banks of Lake Geneva, where you will work against the clock, and sometimes even against logic itself, as you chase leads, decipher clues and interview suspects. What’s your theory, agents?

Featuring a broad streak of quirky comedy, family-friendly spoof horror and inspired by the literary history of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, The Midnight Mission is a slightly-spooky playable family theatre show.

54

In just two years from 2017 to 2019, more than 800 people died living and sleeping rough on the streets of the UK – a significant number of them have never been identified or named.

Unknown is a verbatim play that dramatizes the tragic but true story of one young person’s journey from an abusing childhood to life on the streets of Bath – one of the most affluent cities in the UK. Supported by The Arts Council and The Big Issue, Uknown has been written by Dougie Blaxland with the assistance of six people who have recent experience of homelessness: Sammy Clark, Nathan Dempster, Ian Duff, Paul Jones, Lloyd Rusdale and Anthony Williams.

After sell-out runs at the 2011, 2015 and 2016 Edinburgh Festivals and throughout the UK with the award-winning shows The Rape of Lucrece, Wilde Without the Boy / The Ballad of Reading Gaol, and Night Terrors, Gerard Logan (Olivier Nominee – RSC) is now touring a new solo show, Hauntings.

From E.F. BENSON, famed for his Mapp and Lucia comic novels, comes Naboth’s Vineyard - in which just desserts are meted out to an unscrupulous lawyer, and The Hanging of Alfred Wadham - in which the forces of the devil test a man of faith to his limits.

From the acknowledged master of the ghost story genre, M.R. JAMES, comes, Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad - in which a medieval spirit strikes terrorizes an arrogant professor.

Jekyll and Hyde

Jazz in the Studio Theatre

Satirical solo show with original songs, topical tales and Jewish humour.

In a new and enthralling one-man stage adaptation of the classic tale of terror, acclaimed actor Jonathan Goodwin plays both Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde.

Cheltenham Jazz presents another series of amazing Jazz in the Everyman’s Studio Theatre.

Journey with us to Victorian London, and experience the unbridled horror of this perennial favourite.

Malcolm has developed a strong swinging jazz style, with a touch of old and new, both singing and playing trombone. His unique sound is on his latest album Vocal Intent. Accompanied

by Chis Eldred (Piano), Conor Chaplin (Bass) and Pat Davey (Drums).

From lingerie to libraries, Birmingham to the Balkans, the personal to the political. Set sail on a surreal journey - sometimes poignant, always funny, and ultimately uplifting.

With biscuits. Of course.

“Fine comic celebration of modern Britain.” **** BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

The City is paralyzed with fear when the repugnant and wicked Mr Hyde embarks upon his criminal spree. But what is his shocking secret, and what possible connection can he have with the dour and respectable Dr Jekyll?

“Fabulous - sharp, cultural, witty, poignant and very VERY funny.” **** BIRMINGHAM FEST

Music In The Irving Studio Theatre PRESENTED BY BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

Johnny Coppin

Martin Carthy

Jackie Oates

John Tams:

Heidi Talbot

The melodic and evocative folk legend playing guitar and piano, drawing from his 14 albums over a five decade career.

For more than 50 years Martin Carthy has been one of folk music’s greatest innovators, one of its best loved, most enthusiastic and, at times, most quietly controversial of figures.

After 17 years and seven solo albums Jackie Oates is a central figure in the English traditional music scene.

The song-maker for War Horse, seven-time winner at the Radio 2 Folk Awards and former member of folk legends The Albion Band and Home Service, performing solo for the first time in this rare tour.

Heidi Talbot has graced the stages of folk festivals worldwide, played in front of symphony orchestras and has even sung at the White House.

There will be songs from the new album (River of Dreams), and from Gloucestershire and beyond…

His skill, stage presence and natural charm have won him many admirers, not only from within the folk scene, but also far beyond it.

A most welcome return to the Irving Studio for Martin, a true folk legend.

Regarded as one of the country’s best loved folk performers, Jackie brings elements of the English folk tradition to new people and places.

Don’t Ge Me Started

Hot on the heels of her latest release Gracious Wings, Jackie will be playing songs from her new album as well as ones from across her wonderful repertoire.

Now, the Irish folk favourite is bringing her mesmerising Celtic and Americana fusion to the Everyman.

The Nosy Little Troll

An Evening of Deception

Shylock

An interactive, funny and magical show for family audiences from 3 – 8 years.

After more than a decade of sellout magic shows, An Evening of Deception is back with another stunning and mystifying night of contemporary conjuring.

Shylock. A villain? A victim? Or something even more intriguing?

Deep in the heart of the Norwegian Forest live the trolls – big trolls, tiny trolls and a Nosy Little Troll who has an amazingly sensitive nose…

One day there is a mumbling and a rumbling from the trolls. What is that wonderfully stinky smell wafting through the trees? The Nosy Little Troll sets off to follow her nose on a quest to solve the mysterious pong. Will she be brave enough to cross the scary old stone bridge and succeed in sniffing out the culprit?

Compère Steve Knibbs brings three of the UK’s best magicians to the Irving Studio Theatre - Penn and Teller Fool Us champion Mark Shortland, Kay Dyson aka Miss Magic and Gloucestershire’s Colin Dymond.

Not to be missed, An Evening of Deception is now established as one of the premier magic shows in the country!

A warm-hearted funny Scandinavian story, starring a tasty brown cheese song, a lost goat and a bushy old troll with green fingers.

Gareth Armstrong’s award-winning play confronts and confounds the stereotypes through the eyes of Shylock’s only friend – and the only other Jewish man in all of Shakespeare – Tubal. Promoted to centre stage from his minor role in The Merchant of Venice, he proves a born comic storyteller.

Celebrating the richness of Shakespeare’s language and conjuring up a whole cast of characters, this dazzling, moving, often hilarious play is a fascinating exploration of Shylock and his people.
