This is a new venture by theCompany - an original and entertaining 'revue style' show which is linked together by the theme of 'words'.
Eleven talented actors aged from 17 to 79 bring the show to life, performing songs by Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim and excerpts from 'The History Boys', 'Under Milk Wood', 'The Lady in the Van', 'Henry V' and much, much more.
Highly entertaining, bittersweet and thought-provoking - a definite 'not to be missed' show.
On the basis of very strong recommendation we are delighted to screen F W Murnau's classic Dracula film, accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful new score, written and played by Dmytro Morykit.

It then went on to open the Bram Stoker International Film Festival in Whitby in 2016. Previous audience feedback: includes: -
"Another wonderful score written & performed by the virtuoso Dmytro Morykit" - Noel J Griffin
"Fantastic Evening, look forward to your return." - Jamie Wilson

Dylan Thomas' wonderful short stories and poems are brought vividly to life in this enchanting, award winning show. Often overshadowed by his masterpiece, Under Milk Wood, world renowned solo performer Guy Masterson reveals the magic of Dylan Thomas' "other" works in a performance "of staggering energy and invention" (The Scotsman) brilliantly conjuring the romantic lyricism and genius in wordplay that made Thomas one of the World's greatest writers.
The programme includes three of Thomas' wonderful short stories; A Visit To Grandpa's, Holiday Memory and, of course, A Christmas Story (more popularly known as A Child's Christmas In Wales), plus a selection of his greatest verse including Fern Hill, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night and Death Shall Have No Dominion.

Widely considered Britain’s most popular artist, David Hockney is a global sensation with exhibitions in London, New York, Paris and beyond, attracting millions of visitors worldwide.

Featuring intimate and in-depth interviews with Hockney, this revealing film focuses on two blockbuster exhibitions held in 2012 and 2016 at the Royal Academy of Art in London.
Director Phil Grabsky secured privileged access to craft this cinematic celebration of a 21st century master of creativity.
Constance Lloyd is rarely remembered in literary history. A feminist, a writer and a mother, she is rather remembered as the wife of one of the most infamous Victorians – Oscar Wilde.
From her childhood days suffering at the hands of her abusive mother to blossoming into a young woman of society, Constance’s story is intriguing and varied. She had her own income, she brought up her two small children almost single-handedly and was one of the most well-known faces and names among the celebrities of London in the late 1800s.
In this presentation of her life, told using excerpts of accounts in letters to those she knew and loved, in which she reveals a wit that rivalled Oscar himself, a sense of humour dry and winning and a sense of self that will have every audience member rooting for her from beginning to end.
Featuring award-winning actress and writer Lexi Wolfe who received the nomination for Best Female Actor at the Buxton Fringe 2016 for this production.
