5 YOUR SONG: A ELTONOFCELEBRATIONTHEMUSICOFJOHN
We’ve all had some pondering to do about the fragility of life, but don’t worry, skinny treasure Mark Watson has it covered. At 41, he’s halfway through his days on earth. That life is in the best shape in living memory... but one problem remains, and it’s a huge one. Spiritual enquiry meets high-octane observational comedy as the ‘Taskmaster’ survivor attempts to cram a couple of years of overthinking into an evening of stand-up. Maybe we’ll even solve the problem. Doubt it, though.BoxOffice

CARAVAN 15MUSICOct
Caravan are considered by many to be the undisputed, unsung heroes of the British Prog movement. Often quoted as being one of the most formidable acts to emerge from the ‘60s progressive rock scene, over the years they have managed to achieve cult status and have maintained a passionate and diehard following.
Originally formed in Canterbury in 1968, Caravan were at the heart of the 1970s burgeoning Canterbury rock movement, and produced their own brand of “superior pop music, full of taste, craftsmanship and hard work” (NME) and packed venues worldwide. The current Caravan line-up includes Pye Hastings (1968 founding member: guitar, lead vocals), Geoffrey Richardson (joined 1972: viola, guitar, flute, vocals), Jan Schelhaas (keyboards), Lee Pomeroy (bass, vocals) and Mark Walker (drums, percussion).

Mike loves Tony (but not like that). He’s his best mate. To be confident, outgoing, and open is a big deal in a city like Liverpool especially in the midst of Aids crisis. When they discover The Masquerade Club with trepidation, Mike gets a taste of the life he could be living. He is welcomed with open arms, soon becoming the resident DJ in a club that is the centre of his universe. But their paths go in separate directions. Outside of the club walls he needs to find the courage to tell his parents that he is not the son they want him to be. Will he find the strength to stand up for himself especially when tragedy strikes?

Inspired by the original tale, this production tells the story of Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who feels out of place in her village. When her father is imprisoned in a castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast. Little does she know that he is a Prince cursed by a magical Enchantress. The only way the Beast may become human again is if he learns to love and be loved in return. The curse set by the Enchantress is bound by a magical rose. If the final petal falls all hope will be lost and he will remain a Beast forever. Their feelings grow ever deeper as the clock ticks and petals continue to fall – will they confess their love for one another before it is too late?
