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

April in Paris
Directed by David Butler
Starring Doris Day, Ray Bolger, Claude Dauphin
Duration: 100 mins

Tickets £5 - includes hot drink, biscuits and chat after the screening. 
Ticket price includes £1 admin fee

A series of misunderstandings leads to a chorus girl traveling to Paris to represent the American theatre, where she falls in love with a befuddled bureaucrat.



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.

Adam Sweet Band

Adam Sweet Band
Adam Sweet Band
Running Time: 2hrs 15

Tickets: Advanced: £15. General Admission £19
All ticket prices include a £2 booking fee

Adam Sweet delivers brooding blues and rootsy rock, balancing richly detailed song writing with soulful vocals and expertly piercing guitar work. Taking his cue from the British blues boom sounds and rock riffs of the 60s and 70s, the independent blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter has carved out his own territory between classic rock, blues and Americana. 

Since first taking to the live scene in the South West of England at the age of 15 he has worked in various guises: solo acoustic, session player and with his own bands. The result is a consummate ability to switch from sensitive singer-songwriter to full-on blues rocker with ease, as demonstrated in his countless live performances and his output as a recording artist. 

 Since being crowned Introducing Stage winners at The Great British Rock and Blues Festival in 2023 the Adam Sweet Band have been rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the tightest units on the circuit. They have built on their success with triumphant performances at venues and festivals across the UK including London’s 100 Club, the Brudenell Social Club, Sidmouth & Rye International Jazz & Blues Festivals, Upton Blues Festival and they have supported the likes of Wishbone Ash, Kris Barras Band and Elles Bailey. 

 In 2024 they released ‘Live at Crescent Records’ with the accompanying YouTube series clocking up over 80k views in the first few months of its release. Adam is currently writing and recording the follow up to his acclaimed 2020 album release ‘Sink or Swim’.

Ticket Prices: General Admission £19.50

The Unravelling Wilburys 

Now hear this y’all:

 Legend has it the original Wilbury brothers from Nashville, Tennessee, were plying their trade as a good ol’ Country band one night in Tootsie’s Bar, when who should walk in but George Harrison from The Beatles and his old pal JeD Lynne outta the ELO. After a few beers, George and JeD decided they loved the Wilbury boys and called up some of their friends, inviting them downtown to hear for themselves. Those friends turned out to be Roy Orbison, that Tom Petty out of the Heartbreakers, and Bobby Dylan himself. 

The story goes that, after the show, the famous five wanted to hang out with the shy and retiring Unravelling Wilburys. They all got pretty drunk, and it seemed like the Wilbury brothers had got their big break when Tom Petty allegedly said they should all work together. 

Six months went by and the Wilburys heard nothing. Then one day they was passing a record store and heard one of their own songs playing on the hi- fi. “Who’s this playing our song?” they said to the guy behind the counter. “Why, it’s a new supergroup,” the guy replied. “They call themselves The Traveling Wilburys.

” Yes folks, it seems the Traveling Wilburys became a tribute band to our home-spun originals. 

Well, a few years and more passed and finally the Unravelling Wilburys decided to ‘reclaim’ those songs, putting together a set of all the hits and the best stuD Dylan, Petty, Orbison, Lynne and Harrison could muster between ’em. Then they headed for the UK. The folks there ain’t got much of a clue about Country music and took to ’em straight away. 

Pretty soon they was travelling all over the country, from the Orkney Islands to the Isle of Wight; from Penzance to Perth; from Southwold to South Wales; packing out theatres along the way in towns whose names they’d never heard of and couldn’t pronounce. 

The show features the best of the Wilbury albums (“Handle with Care”; “The End of the Line”; “The Devil’s Been Busy”; “Tweeter & The Monkey Man” etc.) and some of their supposedly thievin’ counterparts’ numbers like “Only the Lonely”; Won’t Back Down”; “While my Guitar Gently Weeps”; “Like a Rollin’ Stone” and “Mr. Blue Sky”. The act even contains the kind of comedy only a band spending too many nights in Travelodge hotels could dream up. 

The Unravelling Wilburys are now so popular they even got to be a question on that TV show “The Chase”. Now that’s fame…even if it ain’t fortune. 

So- Ladies and Gentlemen, turn oD your hearing aid, put your Zimmer frame to one side and prepare for a musical journey with Walter, Blind Melon, Sticky Willy, Thumper and the Reverend Honky Tonk Wilbury. It’s a journey you ain’t gonna forget in a hurry.
