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.

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. 

Tickets £5 - includes hot drink, biscuits and chat after the screening.
Ticket price includes £1 admin fee 
Seats are not allocated for these showings.

Nostalgic Cinema screenings are kindly sponsored by Churchill Retirement Living - specialists in developing attractive, purpose-built retirement apartments.

Puccini’s captivating opera of a cold-hearted princess and her mysterious suitor. Featuring the ever-

popular ‘Nessun dorma’, this opera of love and revenge is brought to life in a dazzling production.


The beautiful but icy Princess Turandot will only marry a man who can correctly answer three riddles.

Those who fail are brutally beheaded. But when an unknown prince arrives, the balance of power in

Turandot’s court is forever shaken, as the mysterious stranger does what no other has been able to.

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
