Trilogy of Synge One-Act Plays
Aran Islands
Wednesday 19 – Saturday 22 February 2014 The Donald Roy Theatre, The Gulbenkian Centre, 7.30 pm John Millington Synge was one of the great playwrights of the Twentieth Century and a co-founder of Ireland’s Abbey Theatre. The Drama Department is to stage a trilogy of his one-act plays: The Shadow of the Glen, Riders to the Sea and The Tinker’s Wedding. WB Yeats said that ‘enquiring man John Synge ... chose the living world for text ... Passionate and simple like his heart.’ The tragic Riders, based upon Synge’s experiences on the Aran Islands, has been described as one of the most powerful one-act plays in English. The cruel sea provides a livelihood for the islanders but at a terrible cost and the play carries a cosmic grandeur and a ritual depth. The two other plays are rural comedies, exploring the lives of the marginalised with an acute satire and carnivalesque energy that is thoroughly unsentimental. Synge’s celebrated dialogue of hiberno-English is celebrated for its vivid energy and ‘transfigured realism’. He, like his transgressive creations, was an artistdisturber whose legacy has been rich and enduring. Staff directors Robert Cheesmond and Philip Crispin Tickets: £5 full price, £3 concessions Enquiries: Emma Wales on 01482 466141 or Gulbenkian@hull.ac.uk

Brilliant Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer is famous for creating evocative atmospheres and austere and profoundly unsettling imagery. In this film he creates a mood of dreamlike terror by using a host of stunning camera and editing tricks. With its roiling fogs, ominous scythes, and foreboding echoes, Vampyr is one of cinema’s great nightmares. HarmonieBand has an internationally established reputation for performing contemporary music, presenting especially composed scores to accompany silent film, and leading educational projects for young people.

A Clockwork Orange
Alex and her gang revel in horrific violence in a world dominated by men, but when Alex goes too far, she finds herself imprisoned for life. Faced with the prospect of a life lived behind bars, she decides to gain her freedom by undergoing a radical social experiment, which brings into question what freedom is worth ... and what freedom is.
1984
Directed by Alice Wilman Conducted by Alan Drever Smith
War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. Big brother is watching.
Hull University Gilbert and Sullivan Society are delighted to present this year’s production of Iolanthe. Welcome to a wonderfully topsy-turvy world, where feisty fairies storm the House of Lords and impose their will on the perplexed peers. This is one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most successful operettas. With beautiful music and a witty libretto, this show is sure to please.
I know how it feels to want answers, and I hope you find the ones you are looking for.
