NEW PERSPECTIVES THEATRE HARVEST A compelling and colourful Yorkshire farming saga, this darkly entertaining comedy tells the story of one family's tireless fight for survival in a changing agricultural landscape, over two world wars, generations of births, deaths and marriages, and a lifetime of farming. From Richard Bean, writer of the international hit One Man, Two Guvnors, this is a great play, vividly told and laced with humour.

Ages: 14+ New Perspectives Theatre is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

A PARLOUR CONCERT WITH MISTER KEITH A splendid evening of gently quirky, expertly crafted songs – think Ray Davies, Squeeze – stories and humour by the self-professed originator of 'Victorian Pop'. With song styles varying from jaunty showground to slow lament, all carried forward by lilting melodies and warm, quintessentially English vocals, the bowler-hatted Mister Keith and his small 'orchestra' of multi-instrumentalists invoke memories of times gone by.

An intimate little gem.

SARAH MCQUAID IN CONCERT

BADAPPLE THEATRE SALSA VERDE A smart-stepping new comedy with some sublime music and sultry dancing; the story of two love-triangles set decades apart, of a wartime dancehall tryst, and of a battle to win the heart of the village hall salsa dance teacher.

Charming, engaging, with genuinely delightful performances, this affectionate and comic play puts its funniest foot forward.

Ages: 10+ Thu 05 Oct 7.30pm Heanor Baptist Church DE75 7QL 01773 718 676

One voice, one guitar, and the wondrous magic of spellbinding music, segueing easily from emotive originals into 1930s Cuban jazz, Elizabethan ballads into Irish folk, Americana into unexpected contemporary covers. With a rich warm singing voice, exceptional guitar playing, superb live technical wizardry and cheeky onstage road-stories, Sarah McQuaid's beautifully crafted solo show casts a quietly sublime spell. ★★★★★ Maverick Magazine

‘Brilliant musicianship, a warm and welcoming stage presence and a voice as rich, matured and knowing as the finest thrice-distilled Irish malt whiskey.’ fRoots Magazine Ages: 7+

'OWDYADO THEATRE A VIEW FROM THE EDGE 1950: Charlie Daniels, a private eye hired by the seductive Elise Hillerman to track down her disappeared husband. Now: Charlotte and Dan struggle to write the new film noir-inspired theatre show you are actually watching.

Influenced by cult filmmakers Charlie Kaufman and David Lynch, this deftly woven narrative of stories within stories is wittily and elegantly performed. And as fiction turns into reality and back again, as stories spin, fragment and entangle with each other, one question arises: whose reality is real? A little gem of a show.

Ages: 14+

FLAMENCO ALMA GITANA This acclaimed Spanish flamenco ensemble of voice, guitar and dancer brim with passion, power and technical command, delivering both slow, grand emotion and driving gunfire rhythms, with Lourdes Fernandez's heels hammering the floor.

Thrilling footwork, extraordinary singing, outstanding guitar: a fantástico show.

‘A passionate and captivating flamenco performance.’

SARAH MOULE LADY BE GOOD! THE ELLA FITZGERALD SONGBOOK 'A first-rate set ' (Sunday Times) marking the centenary of the first lady of song, the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald.

Exquisite interpretations of some of the greatest songs of the 20th Century are here performed with exuberance, style and wit by two of the UK's top jazz-cabaret performers, the truly stunning singer Sarah Moule and superlative pianist Simon Wallace. ★★★★★

‘Outstanding interpretations… Moule's voice is cool, elegant.

Wallace's arrangements are immaculate.’

PEACOCK ANGELL TRIO IN CONCERT A superb set of wonderfully eclectic music coloured by country, blues, jazz and folk.

The beautiful vocals and spirited fiddle of Ruth Angell – best-known as a member of Ashley Hutchings' Rainbow Chasers – are matched all the way by the dextrous guitar of Sid Peacock and Steve Tromans' thrilling piano. ★★★★ Financial Times

HARP & A MONKEY THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGGING HOLES: THE GREAT WAR AND MORE Fronted by an easy-going raconteur and BBC Who Do You Think You Are? historian, this acclaimed Lancashire folk-storytelling trio matches an excellent First World War folk set with humorous and melodic northern life story-songs. Lively, inventive folk music delivered in a down-to-earth manner.

‘A storming set… mesmeric.’

THEATRE CHIPPING NORTON SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CRIMSON COBBLES Murder! Mystery! Mayhem!

A witty, laugh-a-minute pastiche of Conan Doyle's great detective, this fast paced, quirky and deeply daft retelling of one of the darkest times in Victorian history sees Holmes stalking Jack the Ripper in the streets of London's East End. But when the evidence points to only one possible conclusion – that the Ripper is actually Sherlock's trusted sidekick Dr Watson – is our super sleuth prepared to believe the unbelievable?

A kinetic, boisterous, jokefuelled treat... tirelessly superb.

OH LA LA! OH LA LA! AN EVENING OF FRENCH FANCIES Performing live, this very charming and sophisticated acoustic quartet are a delight, with Parisian Fifi la Mer shepherding her band through a set of gorgeous café music; authentic musette, playful chanson réaliste, 60s pop and classic jazz, with a figurative fug of Gauloise smoke drifting above.

Unique entertainers, they blend their rich and evocative sound with Gallic coolness, natural panache and a colossal sense of fun. Magnificent.

Ages: 7+

Tender poignancy and comic touches of sheer brilliance abound in this hugely acclaimed comic ode to death and friendship from the highly innovative Tangram Theatre.

Recounting the life-changing jungle adventures of the French artist-diva/explorer Gloria Delaneuf and her hapless and wonderfully longsuffering assistant Josephine as they follow in the tracks of Diane Fossey to communicate with gorillas.

Full of 'magnificently clever' (The Guardian) comedytheatre and threaded through with exquisite live music, this outlandish story of how one man gave his terminally ill best friend the full Viking funeral he'd always dreamed of, is remarkable. Deeply personal, deeply felt and delightfully comic. ★★★★★

Ingenious and hilariously funny this is fantastic comedytheatre, with the awardwinning and absolutely brilliant French/English performers holding the audience spellbound and in stitches with their slapstick physicality and pitch perfect wordplay.

‘A great show by a hysterical female double act. Catch them now before they are selling out at the Albert Hall.’

CHRISTINE ST JOHN BETTE DAVIS ON THE EDGE LOUISE JORDAN NO PETTICOATS HERE A gutsy and meticulouslyresearched stories-in-song telling of largely forgotten real-life tales of female heroism in World War I. With poignant, passionate and haunting folk songs compellingly sung, gifted musicianship and an engaging stage presence, No Petticoats Here sparkles with personality and personalities, a beautiful and eloquent tribute to exceptional women. ★★★★ Daily Express

Hannah James (Lady Maisery) is a true original, an utterly engaging one-woman folk band who mixes ethereal vocals and powerfully rhythmic accordion with elaborate percussive clog dance, all the while building up digital layers of sound using loop pedals.

A brilliant, gently hypnotic live show with the sort of sparse, atmospheric quality which is The Unthanks' trademark.

A pleasantly unexpected treat.

‘Full of nostalgic charm... an exciting thrill-ride through the life of Bette Davis and the history of the motion picture industry.’

‘Hannah is an incredible musician – a beautiful singer, inventive accordionist and her dancing is out of this world.’

LOST DOG PARADISE LOST (LIES UNOPENED BESIDE ME)

Great music by a very special acoustic trio that celebrates the Welsh folk tradition; a joyful brew of breath-taking airs, eminently danceable Celtic jigs and delightful traditional song.

A barn-storming one-man physical theatre/comedy re-telling of the story of creation, inspired by John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. Performed with gorgeous invention and brilliant audience rapport this is an enchanting, thought provoking, comically charming and very funny show.

‘Quietly reflective gems interspersed with up-tempo dance pieces.’

‘Named after the Welsh name for melody, this band of acoustic wizards produce one heck of a rollicking blast of foot stomping Celtic glory… an intoxicating blend of beautiful music that does wonders for the wider appreciation of traditional Welsh music.’

GARLIC THEATRE LITTLE RED ROBIN HOOD

NINEBARROW IN CONCERT

'What big eyes you have… sheriff… sorry …grandma.'

BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Horizon Award nominees 2017

With great charm, enormous wit and a good deal of slapstick glove puppet inventiveness, two familiar tales are interwoven in a fast and funny show for family audiences. A brave Robin Hood goes on a quest to find the missing Little Red Riding Hood, helped by a kind bunny rabbit and hindered by a whacky old wolf who looks more than a little like the Sheriff of Nottingham. Truly funny and captivating, Little Red Robin Hood is rather marvellous.

‘I loved the play. I want to be the wolf because I am always very, very hungry.’
