Lunchtime Daphne du Maurier’s ‘Rebecca’ Literature at Lunchtime with Dr. Jane Mackay Thursday 14 January 12 noon Come and meet the young, gauche, second Mrs De Winter and find out what really happened to wife number one. This was du Maurier’s own favourite among her many books, set in her own house of Menabilly near Fowey. ‘Rebecca’ is full of mystery, love and suspense – and a much finer novel than it is often given credit for. £5.00 / £4.50 concessions

The Rape of Lucrece British Shakespeare Company Friday 5 February 7.30pm
Karen Blixen’s ‘Out of Africa’
‘Lucrece’ quoth he ‘this night I must enjoy thee.
Literature at Lunchtime with Dr. Jane Mackay Thursday 4 February 12 noon
William Shakespeare
If thou deny then force must work my way: For in thy bed I purpose to destroy thee...’
‘Out of Africa’ is Blixen’s poignant account of running a coffee farm in Kenya during the period of the 1st World War. More of a description than a novel, it recounts the friendships she had with the people working the land and her love for the adventurer from Rutland, Denys FinchHatton. Blixen was finally forced to return to her native Denmark for treatment for syphilis but her time in Africa remained the happiest of her life. Come and enjoy her passionate tribute to a lost time. £5.00 / £4.50 concessions
Adapted from Shakespeare’s gripping poem and faultlessly performed in his inimitable style by Gerard Logan, the story is simple yet compelling. Tarquin casts his eye on his friend Collatine’s wife, Lucretia, and while Collatine is away, Tarquin plans his attack. He enters Lucretia bedroom, rapes her then flees, overcome with remorse. Lucretia tries to come to terms with what has happened and waits for her husband to return… If you love poetry, Shakespeare, or just a good story brilliantly told, don’t miss this show. You will rarely have the chance to experience great poetry brought to life this well. £9.00 / £7.50 concessions
One Man Lord of the Rings Tuesday 9 February 7.30pm In approximately 60 minutes, Canadian actor Charles Ross - creator of the hugely successful One-Man Star Wars Trilogy - whips through ‘The Fellowship Of The Ring’, ‘The Two Towers’ and ‘The Return Of The King’ in ‘One Man Lord of Rings’. Where Peter Jackson spent hundreds of millions of dollars, around ten hours of film and enough special effects to keep an army of computer whiz-kids busy for a very long time, Ross recreates Tolkien’s Middleearth armed with nothing more than a pair of elbow pads, his outrageous imagination and 3,600 seconds of unbelievable kinetic entertainment. If you’ve seen the films, read the books and named your first-born Frodo - you’ll love this show - and if you’ve managed to escape Tolkien-mania, it’s a brilliant bite-sized take on a classic epic. £12.00 / £10.00 concessions

Tom Wrigglesworth’s Open Return Letter to Richard Branson Comedy Store Management Friday 12 February 7.30pm Tom Wrigglesworth, having witnessed a Virgin train manager abusing his position (to the extent that Hitler would’ve watched admiringly and taken notes) writes to Richard Branson about one random act of kindness which caused good to triumph over evil. Tom recounts his hilarious and heartwarming true story involving an old lady, the world’s biggest jobsworth, his fellow train passengers, a brown paper bag and an arrest. Direct from a sell-out run at the Edinburgh festival and nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2009, this is an hysterical, magical and inspiring piece of storytelling, exquisitely performed.

Lunchtime John Fowles’s ‘The French Lieutenant’s Woman’ Literature at Lunchtime with Dr. Jane Mackay Thursday 4 March 12 noon Jamie Marcus Productions Friday 26 February 7.30pm Following the sell-out success of their Spring 2009 tour of Bouncers, Jamie Marcus Productions returns to the Guildhall with an electrifying production of Stephen King’s ‘Misery’, adapted for the stage by Simon Moore. Paul Sheldon, best-selling author of the ‘Misery Chastaine’ novels, is crippled in a car crash only to be rescued by Annie Wilkes, his ‘number one fan’. Far from being an angel of mercy, when she discovers that his eponymous heroine dies in the latest book, Annie imprisons Sheldon insisting that he write another. Fearing for his life, Paul writes a chapter per day as he descends into a living hell beyond anything that he could ever imagine for Misery. £9.00 / £7.50 concessions / £5.00 students Page 10
Set in Fowles’ home town of Lyme Regis, this is the novel that finally established him as the leading British writer of his generation. Based on the skeleton of a true local story, Fowles takes us into the nature of obsession as an archaeologist and a local ‘fallen woman’ struggle with a powerful mutual attraction. This is a truly post modern work set in Victorian England and one which you are invited to choose your own ending for... or are you?

Groovy UV Saturday 6 March 2.00pm Age 5 years and over After two sell out shows at Stamford Arts Centre, Groovy UV bring their outstanding ultra violet puppet extravaganza to the Guildhall.

Featuring groovy puppets from 8 inches to an amazing 8 feet tall, you can expect plenty of songs and quick fire sketches in, what can only be described as, a ‘living cartoon.’ If you fancy having a go, there will be a puppetry workshop after the show. £4.50 / £4.00 concessions £16 family of four Workshop 3.00pm - 4.00pm - £3.50

The Big Chris Barber Band Chris Barber celebrates his 61st year as a band leader in 2010.

The Killing of Sister George
Moon Fool Moon Fool with Trestle Theatre Company Wednesday 17 March 7.30pm Age 13 years and over
St Peter’s Hill Players Wednesday 10 to Saturday 13 March 7.30pm Sister George is a beloved character in the popular 60s radio series Applehurst, a nurse who ministers to the medical needs and personal problems of the local villagers. However, in real life, she is played by gin-guzzling, sadistic June Buckridge - the absolute opposite of the sweet character she plays. June lives with Alice ‘Childie’ McNaught - a younger dim-witted woman she enjoys bullying – and when she discovers her character is scheduled to be killed off, becomes increasingly impossible to work and live with. Mercy Croft, an executive at the radio station, intercedes in June’s professional and personal lives supposedly to help, but actually has an agenda of her own... Written by Frank Marcus in 1964 as a parody of the killing of Grace Archer in ‘The Archers’, The Killing of Sister George is a black comedy with a twist – it pokes fun at the nation’s obsession with soap operas while highlighting the fascinating, and sometimes disturbing, nature of adult relationships
Deep in the heart of the forest, a King and a Queen fall in and out of love and a Fool tries to puckishly lead them astray. Together they create a heady confusion that changes the course of one hot summer’s night. In this brand new show created by emerging company Moon Fool and produced by Trestle, three performers transform into different characters from Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. Combining Balkan folk with circus jazz and playful acrobatic movement with original text, this is an emotive and inventive re-imagining of Shakespeare’s well-loved play. Moon Fool is supported by South Hill Park. £9.00 / £7.50 concessions
Orpheus in the Underworld The Grantham Singers Friday 19 & Saturday 20 March 7.30pm The Grantham Singers’ present a concert version of Jacques Offenbach’s outrageously funny ‘send-up’ of Greek mythology in ‘Orpheus in the Underworld’. The story centre’s on the legend of Orpheus’ in pursuit of his wife Eurydice who is carried off to Hades by Pluto - much to the annoyance of the King of the Gods, Jupiter. This highly disrespectful romp involves nymphs, shepherds, gods and goddesses, reaching its climax in the riotous revels of the celebrated Can-Can. This is a lively and hugely enjoyable show for both performers and audience alike and, with many well known tunes, is an evening not to be missed. £7.50

Hazel O’Connor and the Blujar Project
Wednesday 24 March 7.30pm
The ever innovative Hazel O‘Connor teams up with legendary saxophonist Claire Hirst and pianist Sarah Fisher in this evening of jazz classics. After striding into the spotlight with cult anti-establishment film ‘Breaking Glass’, Hazel became an iconic figure as the first woman to write and perform a soundtrack containing top ten hits ‘Eighth Day’ and ‘Will You’. In this fantastic collaboration, Hazel’s sultry voice is well served by soaring sax solos from Clare Hirst - best known for her work with the Communards, David Bowie and the Bellestars - and pianist/vocalist Sarah Fisher of Eurythmics and Sax In The City fame. The show features re-interpreted standards such as ‘Summertime’, ‘Stormy Weather’ and ‘God Bless The Child’ as well as a new take on some of Hazel’s own tunes including ‘Will You’, ‘Decadent Days’, ‘Driftwood’ and ‘Blackman’. £14.00 / £12.00 concessions

Capote was angered by the sanitisation in the film of this rich and cruel novel as - despite its 1940s New York gloss – it’s more a Henry James-style tragedy with a glamorous veneer.

This is a high energy show that youngsters will love and won’t be able to help singing and dancing along to. £6.00 / £5.00 concessions - £18.00 Family of Four
Despondent and disappointed, Strephon calls for the support of the fairies which results in the Fairy Queen pronouncing a magical sentence on Parliament giving Strephon the power to pass any bill he chooses. Meanwhile, the fairies take a rather keen interest in the noble lords, much to the dismay of the Fairy Queen. Gilbert’s witty lyrics and Sullivan’s strong tunes combine in a performance of pure delight, poking fun at both the House of Lords and the House of Commons. £9.00 / £7.00 concessions Page 14

Gonzo Moose Wednesday 28 April Is That A Bolt In Your Neck? 7.30pm Ages 8 years and over

Gonzo Moose consists of three fearless and daring actors who play over 20 roles in a gripping, fast paced comedy with horrific experiments, mind-boggling love and a sensational death-defying finale. Inspired by gothic horror movie classics of the 1930s, this rollicking ride mixes spooky paranoia, surreal nightmare and frantic farce. Suitable for audiences from ages 8 to 80 it’s an ideal family show packed full of hilarious slapstick, verbal wit, live music and magical illusion. £9.00 / £7.50 concessions - £5.00 students
