“It’s built for us, isn’t it? The Spitfire. Built for women.”
New Year’s Eve, 1959.

Funny and heart-warming, this is an untold story of strength, courage and loss. But above all else, hope.
Recommended ages 10+ Spitfire Girls was developed with the support of the National Theatre’s Generate programme.

The late Queen Elizabeth II was famous for her discretion. She never said anything in public that could ruffle the lightest of feathers. But she had one way of expressing what she really thought – through her wardrobe.
By Royal Appointment is a funny, poignant and celebratory new play about the kind of power that only a Queen can wield –she charms the world through coats and admonishes her family through a carefully chosen hat. But the Queen herself is uninterested in fashion, her look is managed by her Designer, her Milliner and most powerful of all, her Dresser who was a working-class girl who goes from advising the Queen on the colour of her lipsticks to the real power behind the throne. But the Dresser, like all royal favourites is living on borrowed time.
By Royal Appointment is a behind the scenes peek into the world of our most popular monarch and the image she presented to the world. Starring national treasure Anne Reid as The Queen and star of stage and screen Caroline Quentin as The Dresser. The new play is written by Daisy Goodwin who created the hit ITV series Victoria and directed by former Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe, Dominic Dromgoole.

VESPERS
by Candlelight
If you are new to the Vespers, think of his divine Symphony no 2, but performed by voices, and you won’t even get close to how incredible this is! Just 110 years ago, what is widely praised as Rachmaninov’s greatest achievement and the greatest achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church was created. The composer managed to find a way of turning the choir into an orchestra, both texturally and dynamically. The music was so personal to Rachmaninov, that he requested the ‘Nunc Dimitis’, the fifth movement be sung at his funeral. In the exquisite late evening candlelit setting, be transported by what is simply the most gorgeous choral music ever to have been written, and for a moment in time, simply nothing else in life will matter.

J. S. BACH MASS IN B MINOR
ARMONICO CONSORT & BAROQUE ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER MONKS
It could be argued that J.S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor should have been titled ‘Bach’s Greatest Hits’, for that is what Bach himself aimed to achieve with this masterpiece. Composed over the final 25 years of his life and completed just one year before he died, the Mass is scattered with music and references that Bach considered to be his best work, or movements which he had allowed to develop over time and had returned to ‘perfect’ at a later date. Never performed complete in his lifetime, the work is in effect Bach’s own self-obituary, how he wanted to be remembered by the world. If you have never heard it live, this is absolutely one concert you must not miss.
‘It is the best of him, and that brings out the best in us.’ (Christopher Monks)

THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA BENJAMIN BRITTEN
In ancient Rome, Lucretia is assaulted by the tyrannical prince Tarquinius, an outrage that shatters her life and sets the stage for his own downfall.
Benjamin Britten’s
The Rape of Lucretia was written in the aftermath of the Second World War and reflects a world wondering how to remake itself after enormous suffering and destruction. It remains a brutally relevant and chilling exploration of the abuse of power, shot through with glimmers of hope for a better world.
