The Secret Life of Enid Blyton

The Secret Life of Enid Blyton
On a Role Theatre Company Presents the Secret Life of Enid Blyton
Starring Liz Grand as Enid Blyton
Written by Kit Hunter
Running Time: 1 hour 45 minutes (Including interval)
Tickets Prices: General Admission £17 
All ticket prices include a £2 booking fee.

Virtually everybody of a certain age has read an Enid Blyton book. She was loved by children (except her younger daughter who hated her) but vilified by the BBC, teachers, critics and librarians. 

She sold more than 600 million books, despite all her work being banned by the BBC and many libraries and schools for more than thirty years. She was accused of being a racist and of using such limited vocabulary that it actually hindered children's reading progress. 

Her love-life was interesting and she had numerous affairs including with her children's nanny. She enjoyed playing golf so much that she bought a golf course near Swanage. 

 She died of Alzheimer's in 1968 aged 71, mourned by millions of readers all over the world.


 Liz Grand (previous shows "The Second Best Bed", "Where Is Mrs. Christie?" and "Mrs. Churchill: My life With Winston") plays this remarkable and controversial woman and brings you her story.

"The show's subject is brilliantly played by Liz Grand, already well-versed in portraying strong independent women, appearing in other solo productions "Where is Mrs Christie?", "Mrs Churchill - My Life With Winston" and "The Second Best Bed". ***** View From The Stalls 8/23

 "This production evokes in the audience considerable admiration for the phenomenal output and achievements of Enid's writing career, some sympathy for her harsh and snobbish treatment by her critics, some respect for her charitable work and the positive morality in her stories, though little warmth for her as a person. 'Behind the Arras ' 8/23

Manhunter & Mindhunter: The Psychology of a Serial Killer (16)

Manhunter & Mindhunter: The Psychology of a Serial Killer

Manhunter & Mindhunter: The Psychology of a Serial Killer

Running Time:  2 Hours 30minutes (Including Interval)


Ticket Prices: General Admission £24 (18+)

All ticket prices include a £2 booking fee.


An unforgettable evening of true crime with two of Scotland Yard's most prolific detectives.

In an unexpected twist of fate, former Detective Chief Inspectors Steve Gaskin and Colin Sutton met two years ago, igniting a spark that neither could have predicted. 


What began as a chance meeting has evolved into a ground breaking theatre production set to tour the UK in 2024 and 2025.

______________________________________________________________________________

Manhunter & Mindhunter is a gripping two-man show that delves into the dark world of serial killers, offering audiences a unique blend of true crime storytelling and psychological exploration. Both performers have been featured on a variety of UK TV Shows.


Manhunter & Mindhunter is not just another true crime show; it’s a deep dive into the mind of a serial killer, with a particular focus on Levi Bellfield, one of the UK’s most infamous criminals.


Colin Sutton, “Manhunter,” will lead the audience through the intense and meticulous investigation that led to Bellfield’s arrest, charge, and eventual conviction. Sutton’s account is not just a retelling of facts but an immersive experience that brings the audience into the heart of the investigation, revealing the unparalleled truth behind one of the most complex cases of his career.


On the other side of the stage, Steve Gaskin is “Mindhunter.” Gaskin’s part of the production delves into the psychological makeup of Bellfield, exploring the chilling characteristics that define a psychopath. Steve is a criminal psychologist. His analysis goes beyond the surface, offering a deeper understanding of what drives serial killers to commit such heinous acts. But Gaskin’s role doesn’t stop at Bellfield; he broadens the scope to examine the psychology of serial killers in general, shedding light on the patterns of behaviour that have baffled investigators and true crime addicts for decades.

______________________________________________________________________________

One of the most intriguing aspects of “Manhunter & Mindhunter” is the interactive element it brings to the theatre. Audience members won’t just be passive observers; they’ll have the chance to engage directly. During the show, guests will be invited to measure their own “psychopathy”, using tools and methods that Gaskin and Sutton will introduce. This unique feature not only adds an element of personal intrigue but also challenges the audience to reflect on the thin line between normality and the dark recesses of the human mind.

______________________________________________________________________________

What to expect from the evening:

Mindhunter: Inside The Mind of a Serial Killer (60 minutes)

· What 'makes' a psychopath and how they behave

· Find out how to measure psychopaths (and test yourself)

· Do all psychopaths go on to kill?

· What motivated a man to carry out these terrible crimes?

· What happened during the investigation?

· What was it like to manage this sort of case?

· What type of person was Bellfield?

Who is the event for?

· The event is perfect for anyone with an interest or obsession with true crime, criminal psychology, and the investigation of Serial Killers; questions are encouraged!

· If you love true-crime TV shows and documentaries, you’ll love this event.


· The event is also ideal for anyone wanting to pursue a career in psychology, policing or the law.

Colin Sutton was one of Scotland Yard’s most successful senior investigating officers. Notably he brought the serial killer Levi Bellfield to justice. He also investigated the Delroy Grant case termed “The Night Stalker” Colin was serialised on ITV by the actor Martin Clunes in the gripping series “Manhunt”. Colin regularly appears on TV and is an established author.


Steve Gaskin specialised in murder investigation and drug trafficking. Steve has been captivating audiences with deep dives into criminal psychology and crime for the past 20 years. His fields of expertise are criminal psychopaths and offender profiling. Steve has also featured in a cold case serial killing investigation which was aired on ITV’s PlayBoy Bunny Club Murders (with Marcel Theroux) and narrated a full documentary on Wayne Couzens: Killer in Plain Sight (Channel 5).

‘Mrs. Churchill – My Life with Winston’

‘Mrs. Churchill – My Life with Winston’
‘Mrs. Churchill – My Life with Winston’
Starring Liz Grand
Running Time: 1 Hour 40 Minutes (Including Interval)

Tickets: General Admission £17
All tickets include a £2 booking fee

Winston Churchill is arguably one of the most famous Englishmen that has ever lived. His inspirational leadership helped win the Second World War, and his parliamentary career of 62 years ensured he was responsible for many momentous decisions.


They say that behind every great man, there is a great woman. Was this true in Churchill’s case? What of Clementine, his wife for 56 years? Did he bully her like he did so many other people? Was he as grumpy and irascible at home as he often was in the House of Commons? Given his strength and conviction, did Clem have any influence on him at all? Or was she 'the little lady at home'?


All these questions will be answered, and many more, in Liz Grand’s superb, moving, sensitive and informative portrayal of Clementine Churchill. (Liz’s other current shows are ‘The Second Best Bed’ and ‘Where Is Mrs. Christie?’).

Winston himself said, “my most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.”


Reviews

“The show was incredible and Liz's performance utterly outstanding. So many favourable comments. Don't know how on earth she does it and a remarkable script.” Sue Ablett, Director Evesham Word Festival


“This single actress show makes huge demands on Liz Grand who occupies the stage for two full acts on her own: it is a huge ‘tour de force’, a tremendous amount to learn and deliver, and she holds and absorbs our attention brilliantly.” Behind the Arras"


“The natural, sensitive and sympathetic way with which Liz Grand portrays ‘the little lady at home’ is impressive.” View from the Stalls


“And when the tears start to trickle down the actor’s face, they seem to speak louder than any words. In fact, to unashamedly borrow from a phrase, yes, for Liz Grand, this was arguably her finest hour.” Showtime
