The greatest love story ever told – through ballet. An ancient family feud casts a long shadow over

the town of Verona. In this hothouse of tension, brawls are quick to break out and both sides get

caught in the crossfire.


The Capulets and Montagues are sworn enemies. Yet it is love at first sight for Romeo Montague and

Juliet Capulet when they meet each other at the Capulet ball, into which Romeo has snuck. The two

fall in love and they profess their devotion to each other at Juliet’s balcony. They secretly get

married. The stakes are raised for the young couple when Romeo avenges the death of his friend

Mercutio who has been killed by Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. For this, Romeo is exiled from Verona.

Meanwhile, Juliet’s parents are forcing her to marry another suitor. In order to be together, Romeo

and Juliet must risk it all.

Reg Meuross: Fire & Dust, A Woody Guthrie Story

Reg Meuross: Fire & Dust, A Woody Guthrie Story
Reg Meuross: Fire & Dust, A Woody Guthrie Story
Running time: 2 Hours

Ticket Prices: Early Bird £18. Advanced £22. On the Door £24
All tickets include a £2 booking fee

Commissioned by Pete Townshend and created by Reg Meuross, Fire & Dust – The Woody Guthrie Story is a journey into the heart and soul of one of America’s finest folk musicians.

 Seeded by Townshend in 2019, this new work shows how the impact of Guthrie remains and how Meuross was the right man to tell this story through music and song. When Townshend called Reg to suggest the idea he saw how the project would “draw a direct line from Woody, through Bob Dylan, to Reg Meuross” and pledged his full support to realize this vision both as a studio album (which he co-produced and played on) and a series of live tours across the UK and beyond. 

 The breadth and depth of Reg Meuross’s material is unparalleled in contemporary folk: songs about forgotten heroes, famous names, folk legends, the climate emergency, tales from the kitchen sink and news from the world stage. If something needs to be sung about then Reg Meuross has a song for it and with Fire & Dust another important chapter of impeccably researched story-telling has begun.

 Highlighting racism, bigotry, corruption and inequality this incredible new song-cycle is focused on the life and times of the ‘Dust Bowl’ American folk musician and political activist Woody Guthrie – whose work remains so influential today. Drawing important parallels between Guthrie’s time and our own, each song shows Meuross at his absolute best – sharing stories from social history that are still highly relevant today. 

 Joined by Welsh pianist and accordionist Geraint Watkins (Nick Lowe, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, Paul McCartney, Status Quo, Bill Wyman, Peter Green to name but a few) as well as renowned string player Marion Fleetwood (TRADarrr, IOTA, The Sandy Denny Project and Fleetwood Cave) the album is scheduled for release March 2025. 

 In addition to the incredible line-up on the album and tours, Who legend Townshend not only co-produced the album but also features on two of the album tracks and will be appearing at the full band launch gig in the spring.

 “Reg Meuross is a purist…he sings in the neutral accent of an Englishman who travels the entirety of the British Isles, and tastes all its flavours, influenced by all its most profound national colours. In this he reminds one of Roy Harper or Ewan McColl, recent greats who went before him.” Pete Townshend

Dementia Friendly Cinemas have proven to be very therapeutic for people with memory problems and their families. Besides engaging the brain and stimulating emotions, being part of an audience enjoying a film helps people with dementia and their carers to feel less isolated and also challenges the stigma associated with the condition. 

All Nostalgic Cinema performances have subtitles to assist full enjoyment of the film by any members of the audience who are hard of hearing. 

Whilst promoted as a dementia friendly screening, we hope anyone who loves the old films will come along for an afternoon of fond memories.

Exhibition on Screen: Dawn of Impression: Paris, 1874ism

Exhibition on Screen: Dawn of Impression: Paris, 1874ism
Exhibition On Screen - Season 12
 The Dawn of Impressionism: Paris, 1874
Directed by Ali Ray 
Produced by Phil Grabsky 
Running Time: 1 Hour 40 Minutes

Tickets: General Admission £13
All tickets include a £1 booking fee

The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever. 

What led to that first ground breaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874. See the show that changed everything on the big screen.

 Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.

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.
