SUMMARY:NTLIVE : THE MISANTHROPE
DESCRIPTION:The Misanthrope by Martin Crimp \nafter Molière \nDirected by Indhu Rubasingham \nAward-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy. \n  \nTelling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice\, a brilliant novelist\, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her\, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon\, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her. \n  \nFilmed live on stage at the National Theatre\, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

SUMMARY:Polar Journeys -A Talk by Ben Osborne
DESCRIPTION:Polar Journeys A talk by Ben Osborne \nBen Osborne’s new talk\, “Polar Journeys”\, will take you to the ends of the earth with images and stories from his extensive travels in the polar regions. \nIn the Arctic\, we’ll head to Greenland where we travel with huskies\, camp on glacial moraines and visit some of the most remote human settlements on the planet. We’ll also visit Svalbard which\, at nearly 80 degrees north\, is the most northerly inhabited land. This archipelago of islands features dramatic vistas of glaciers and high mountains. Whales and polar bears are highlights of the stunning wildlife. \nThe second half of the talk is centred on the south polar regions and will include the island oasis of South Georgia with its vast penguin and seal colonies. We also visit the Antarctic Peninsula\, one of the most scenic regions in Antarctica. \nBen has made numerous journeys to both the Arctic and the Antarctic working for National Geographic\, the BBC and the British Antarctic Survey. He works as a Polar Guide on small expedition ships.  His images have featured in numerous magazines and books; and in 2007 he was the overall winner in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. \nThis talk will be a visual treat and a rare glimpse into some of the least accessible places on earth. \nProfits from this event will go to the Bishop’s Castle and District Land Trust and  SpArC Trust -Theatre Upgrade . \nWe will also have a Raffle  and a Licenced Bar.

SUMMARY:LIVE MUSIC: The Handover
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n★★★★★”defying the laws of physics and floating skywards” – Songlines Magazine \n‘one of the best Sublime Frequencies releases I’ve heard” – Dave Segal \n”deeply thrilling and transformative” – Magnet Magazine \nThe Handover is as much a ritual as it is an ensemble. The trio\, consisting of Aly Eissa (oud\, Egypt)\, Ayman Asfour (violin\, Egypt)\, and Jonas Cambien (vintage organ/synth\, Belgium/Norway)\, is blessed with a near-telepathic musical sensitivity that renders each live performance a singular\, nuanced experience\, grooving deeply despite the absence of percussion. \nInspired by the hypnotic\, trance-inducing music of Egypt’s Nile Delta\, fueled by kraut-like riffs and the intensity of ’60s avant-garde jazz\, and channelled through roguish improvisation\, The Handover’s sound is veritable psychedelia. It is at once futuristic and primordial\, yet\, with the utter urgency of its testament\, it demands lucidity. \nOne long musical voyage that swells and builds without break; three musicians shaping an acoustic world with only their instruments. A set composition that invites space for play\, shifting slightly each time with the improvisational nuances of the musicians. This is what one can expect from a Handover show.  \nSince its beginnings\, The Handover has gained a strong live reputation with performances at Rewire Festival in The Hague\, Counterflows Festival in Glasgow\, BRDCST Festival in Brussels\, Jazzfest Berlin\, Copenhagen Jazz Festival\, Motvind Festival\, Oslo World Festival\, and clubs across Europe\, the UK\, and Egypt. In 2025\, The Handover was selected for an official showcase at WOMEX. Their self-titled debut (2025) was released on Sublime Frequencies to critical acclaim. A sophomore album\, New Old Medicine/منه فيه\, is set for a 2026 release\, continuing The Handover’s collusion with Sublime Frequencies. Like its predecessor\, this album cements the trio’s sound as something exceptionally rare\, yet undeniably rooted. \n\n”ferocious and forceful” – the Wire \n”A masterful\, timeless recording.” – Ley Lines\n \nWATCH ON YOUTUBE The Handover – Live in Alexandria \n50 best albums of 2024 in El Pais \n20 best folk albums of 2024 in Treblezine \nBest Albums 2024 | Kalporz Awards \n2024 Rewind: Contributors’ Charts – The Wire \nBest Of 2024: Jazz/Improv – Magnet Magazine \n

SUMMARY:The Royal Ballet  MANON
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Ballet \nMANON \nVia Satellite \nIn the seedy underbelly of 18th-century Paris\, money is king. Nothing is sacred – even love itself can be bought for the right price. A native of this hedonistic underworld\, Manon is caught between twin desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Steadfast and devoted\, he offers the possibility of an honourable life. Yet\, the riches promised by the world of Parisian society remain tempting… \nManon’s inner turmoil and struggle for survival lie at the devastating heart of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1974 adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel. In this signature work of The Royal Ballet\, MacMillan’s nuanced understanding of human psychology makes for an unflinching look into the moral degradation of Manon’s Paris\, while all its decadence and decay are brought to life through Jules Massenet’s score and Nicholas Georgiadis’s designs. \nNatalia Osipova performs the Act II solo in Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon
