SUMMARY:Live Mid Wales Opera : Beatrice and Benedict (Berlioz)
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to be hosting the Opening night of Mid Wales Opera’s  production of  Berlioz – Beatrice and Benedict (based on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing) \nBeatrice and Benedict are both determined to stay single. Beatrice is a woman who despises men (especially Benedict) and Benedict can’t abide women (particularly Beatrice). That is until their friends plot to bring them together and they both ‘accidentally’ overhear whispers of each other’s unrequited passion; the spark of love is ignited by gossip and quickly becomes a blazing wildfire. \nBerlioz’s final opera sets to music the wild and illogical whirlwind of falling in love\, bringing a rich warmth of invention to Shakespeare that virtually no other composer has achieved. Indeed\, Berlioz’s life-long passion for Shakespeare is evident throughout his miraculous score\, radiant with love and sparkling with energy\, and including the famous central nocturne duet\, perhaps the most beautiful thing Berlioz ever wrote. \nSung and spoken in English \nBerlioz – Beatrice and Benedict (yn seiliedig ar Much Ado About Nothing Shakespeare) \nCenir yn Saesneg \nMae Beatrice a Benedict ill dau yn benderfynol o aros yn sengl. Mae Beatrice yn fenyw sy’n casáu dynion (yn enwedig Benedict) ac ni all Benedict oddef merched (yn enwedig Beatrice). Hynny yw\, nes bod eu ffrindiau’n cynllwynio i ddod â nhw at ei gilydd a’r ddau\, yn ‘ddamweiniol’\, yn gorglywed sibrydion am angerdd y naill at y llall; mae gwreichion cariad yn cael eu tanio gan glecs ac yn datblygu’n gyflym yn dân gwyllt tanbaid. \nMae angerdd oes Berlioz dros Shakespeare yn amlwg drwy gydol ei sgôr wyrthiol\, yn pelydru gyda chariad ac yn pefrio ag egni\, ac yn cynnwys y ddeuawd nosol\, ganolog enwog\, y darn harddaf a ysgrifennodd Berlioz erioed efallai.

SUMMARY:LIVE THEATRE: 42 Crowns -Shropshire Drama Company
DESCRIPTION:42 Crowns is performed by four actors and a musician and delivered through a combination of rhyming verse\, songs\, readings and poetry. It is a wry and quirky observation of the activities of our kings and queens during the reign of various regal houses; such as the Plantagenets\, Tudors\, Stuarts and Windsors; since 1066 and up to the incumbent monarch Charles III – 42 in total. \nWritten by Shropshire Drama Company member Michele Rowland-Jones as 41 Crowns to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee in 2021. \n\, it was re written as 42 Crowns and performed earlier this year to mark the coronation of King Charles. This autumn’s short tour will celebrate the King’s 75th birthday. \n” A dash through all the members of the Royal Family – not in a patriot flag-waving way. At the same time it is not Royal-bashing. It has extracts of poetry\, song with a professional guitarist\, bits of speeches (Henry V (Shakespeare)\, Queen Victoria (her diaries)) all woven together to make a fun/interesting evening. I’ve taken my mother (70s) and my children (twice) and they all enjoyed it. I’d say its in the wheelhouse of Horrible Histories.”

SUMMARY:Documentary Film: STRAY (2020)
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nBishop’s Castle Film Society Choice. \nPart of Bishop’s Castle Arts Festival \n★★★★”Exquisite dog’s eye view of Istanbul” The Guardian\nBehind the scenes of the film that gives us a street dog’s perspective\n(Not to be confused with 2023 film Strays) \nDirector Elizabeth Lo tells us about the experience of working with the unconventional stars of her debut feature: the stray dogs of Istanbul. \n\nShot over the course of three years\, festival hit Stray follows the lives of street dogs Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal as they navigate contemporary Istanbul. We are also given an insight into the harsh realities of Syrian refugee children\, who interact with the dogs\, their experiences often overlapping and leading to a compassionate bond. \n\n\nIt goes without saying that there is no shortage of differences between dogs and humans\, but we do inhabit the same spaces. Stray is a documentary that deconstructs the invisible barriers between both worlds\, allowing us to explore urban Turkey in a uniquely and perspective-altering way.
