Alongside our regular classes, we have launched a range of exciting new music courses for this season from Masterclasses to Songwriting (pg 12 & 16) all delivered by our stunning team of artists.

As I take the helm here, I am discovering the real extent of the inspiring work the organisation does, from running many afterschool clubs across the county to working with Youth Music and partner organisations across the East to increase music-making opportunities in the region for young people from all backgrounds.

I would like to thank all those that donated last season, it really does make a difference to a charity the size of ours, so a heartfelt thanks go out to you. If you haven’t done so yet and wish to, you can find information in the brochure about regular giving or single donations (pg 22).

It makes me very proud to be leading such a wide-reaching and innovative organisation. So beat those winter blues by watching a great piece of theatre or taking part in a class. Enjoy!

Harold Pinter’s Betrayal begins after the end of the affair, and pursues an intricate, gripping journey back to its very beginning. In a brilliant device, time is turned upside down as the play charts significant events in reverse. A ruthless exploration of the complexity of the human heart, Betrayal is Pinter’s most accessible work, enthralling and provocatively layered.

Foolhardy Actors have a first class reputation for delivering the very best of classic british theatre. previous productions include One Flew Over the cuckoo’s Nest, Brief Encounter, Proof, waiting for Godot and Shakespeare’s The winter’s Tale.

Sitting in a pitch-black space and wearing wireless headphones, you will be surrounded by a world created through binaural sound, video projection and a solo performer.

The Devil Speaks True is a totally immersive experience offering an intimate perspective of a man struggling to come to terms with his place in a violent and tyrannical world. Focussing on the psychological effects on men returning home from war and the bond between soldiers, the production intersperses Shakespeare’s text with interviews with ex-servicemen.

Secrets, betrayals, revenge and murder.

Mani and Dani, brother and sister come home for their grandmother’s birthday. but something is rotten in the state of affairs. The ghost of their recently murdered friend haunts the family. At Hannes’ funeral Mani and Dani bump into bine and oli, a married couple who were once close to the siblings. Time is out of joint in this brutal family farce in which the ultimate question is how to act.

Written by acclaimed Austrian playwright Ewald Palmetshofer and beautifully translated by Neil Blackadder, the play explores the human being in its half-pathetic, half-touching, somehow ironic yearning for meaning and greatness.

With support from Jarrolds Trust. In partnership with The Garage.
