National Theatre Live is the National Theatre’s groundbreaking project to broadcast world-class theatre to cinemas. Shown in glorious High Definition with full surround sound, the full theatre experience is right on your doorstep.

Mack the Knife is back in town in this darkly comic new take on Brecht and Weill’s raucous musical broadcast live from the stage of the National Theatre.

London scrubs up for the coronation. The thieves are on the make, the whores on the pull, the police cutting deals to keep it all out of sight. Mr and Mrs Peachum are looking forward to a bumper day in the beggary business, but their daughter didn’t come home last night and it’s all about to kick off…

‘Enjoyably raucous. A superb cast’ Evening Standard

Here she waits out the colourful rumours about her dalliances circulating through polite society.

Whilst ensconced there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and a future for her eligible but reluctant daughter, Frederica. In doing so she attracts the simultaneous attentions of the young, handsome Reginald DeCourcy, the rich and silly Sir James Martin and the divinely handsome, but married, Lord Manwaring, complicating matters severely.

FB Pocket Orchestra takes audiences back to the hot jazz, blues, ragtime and popular dances of the 1920’s/30’s and earlier. This versatile and witty trio play a range of instruments including banjo, cornet, harmonica, accordion, tuba, clarinet, and violin “Atmospheric, yet vibrant, this charming collection of songs will make you wish you had been born some 100 years ago. The style, glamour and ‘fabulousness’ of this era is captured beautifully” Jazz FM CONTACT - Town Hall & Midsomer Norton: 01761 419133 / Victoria Hall Radstock: 01761 438885

Midsomer Norton Community Trust

Victoria Hall Radstock

Based in the Town Hall, the Community Trust runs a popular events programme which includes the Palladium Community Cinema, live music concerts and National Theatre Live.

Victoria Hall Radstock was refurbished as an arts centre in 2013 with four studios, gallery and licensed coffee bar. Now with tiered seating and surround sound in its main studio theatre, Victoria Hall offers a varied all year round programme of professional music, theatre, film, dance and comedy events plus Royal Opera House live screenings.

Its events take advantage of fantastic new facilities such as the HD cinema projection set up, digital satellite broadcasting system and full 7.1 Surround Sound. Refreshments are available from the fully licenced Sarah Ann bar.

With rooms of all sizes to rent, the Trust also provides homes to many of the town’s Community Groups as well as organising major events across the town such as M-Fest, the Fayre and Midsomer Norton Pride. It also played a key role in bringing the Carnival back to the High Street.

&

The venue is also home to the Susan Hill School of Dancing and BDC fulltime performing arts college, hosting over 100 classes each week ranging from dance, yoga and singing to drawing, pottery and Pilates. Our Italian style coffee bar is open to the public Mondays to Saturdays.
