The New Year brings another season of stunning entertainment at Trinity. Whilst spring showers may be rife, our array of theatre productions, dance, music, comedy and film is sure to brighten up your day.

Of course visiting us this year will also mean visiting the newly-named Caroline Elliott Foyer, opened officially in October in memory of our dedicated volunteer Box Office Manager, who sadly passed away back in May. I thank our audience heartily for your continued support and urge you to remember Caroline and all that she stood for and did for us when you next visit the foyer.

Dramatic productions thrive again this spring at Trinity. TTC, our resident amateur company, present two contrasting contemporary plays, and we also have the best of professional touring theatre with some exciting and challenging titles. In addition we have several live screenings; an excellent opportunity to see shows if you can’t make it to the West End or RSC, or indeed can’t get tickets – as many of them are sold out for their run.

We are keen to produce new work and I’m delighted to say that we have received Arts Council funding which will support the creation of an an entirely new children’s show based on Frank L Baum’s The Tin Woodman Of Oz - this will be the second opportunity we have had to produce a new show and I hope that it will have a life beyond Trinity.

As ever our film season is jam-packed with biopics, award-winners, foreign films and blockbusters. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy, so I encourage you to ‘take in a show’ as there are many gems in there that are not to be missed. And watch out during the awards season for extra screenings!

I always welcome and value your comments and feedback – and please feel free to email me at john@trinitytheatre.net

Look Back In Anger

By John Osborne Directed by Meg Nutt Tue 28 Feb – Sat 4 Mar • 7.30pm Wed 1 & Sat 4 Mar • 2.30pm Described as a ‘landmark of British Theatre’, John Osborne’s iconic play catapulted Jimmy Porter, the first ‘angry young man’, onto the stage. This working class Hamlet is one of the most mesmerising characters ever to burst onto the stage – he is the man you want to hate but can’t help loving. Still as shocking and relevant today as when it first premiered in 1956, this sizzling, darkly humorous play is a fiercely honest exploration of political disillusionment and basic human yearning.

This story of passion is set against the backdrop of war, which captures the shifting emotions of the drama through impassioned duets, fiery solos and stirring choruses.

Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

Bolshoi: Swan Lake

Music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Choreographed by Yuri Grigorovich Sun 5 Feb • 3pm • Recorded Live Transmission A ballet of ultimate beauty and a score of unparalleled perfection born at the Bolshoi in 1877. In the dual role of white swan Odette and her rival black swan Odile, prima ballerina Svetlana Zakharova exudes both vulnerability and cunning through superb technical mastery, alongside the powerful and emotional Siegfried, Denis Rodkin.

First choreographed to Tchaikovsky’s great musical score

by Marius Petipa in Russia in 1890, The Sleeping Beauty has wonderful ensembles, solos including the Rose Adage as Princess Aurora meets her suitors, and of course the concluding celebratory dances for the happy union of prince and princess.

One of the most popular operas, with ravishing music and a heartbreaking story of a loving geisha deserted by a callous American husband. The exotic imagery of Nagasaki is drawn from Western artists’ romanticized views of Japan. Puccini’s music brings alive this intense and gripping journey from light and excitement to darkness and self-sacrifice.

Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

Royal Ballet: Jewels

Choreographed by George Balanchine Tue 11 Apr • 7.15pm • Live Transmission George Balanchine’s evocation of the sparkle of emeralds, rubies and diamonds is a brilliant ballet classic.

The music of Fauré provides the impetus for the subtlety and lyricism of ‘Emeralds’, while the fire of ‘Rubies’ comes from Stravinsky and the jazz-age energy of New York.

Grandeur and elegance complete the ballet with the music of Tchaikovsky in ‘Diamonds’. Jewels is a masterclass in the many luminous facets of classical ballet and indeed of The Royal Ballet itself.

As always Sara is honest and unflinching as she expounds on sexuality, empathy, art, God and pubic hair. If that sounds a bit weighty, there will also be stuff about selfies, glow worms and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Also, and this should be obvious, Slytherins are absolutely unwelcome.

Sara has appeared on Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You?, QI, Room 101, Buzzcocks, 8 Out Of 10 Cats and a load of other programmes that can’t be listed due to word count restrictions!

366 Portraits

Sarah Clarke Tue 17 - Sun 29 Jan Sarah is a photographer, specialising in portraiture. At the end of 2015 she set herself the task of publishing one portrait per day for the whole of 2016. She wanted to photograph people when they were least expecting it, to capture the most natural expressions. The response was overwhelming and attracted far more attention than anticipated, which resulted in the decision to exhibit the project in its entirety. This is her first solo exhibition.

Cityscapes And Other Work William Pierce Tue 31 Jan - Sun 12 Feb

William Pierce recently completed a postgraduate Drawing Year at the Royal Drawing School. Prior to this, he studied for a foundation in Fine Art at Byam Shaw School of Art Central St Martins and a BA honours degree in Fine and Applied Art at Canterbury Christ Church University.

Much of his current work has focused on groups of figures in urban settings, usually London. He tends to work from direct observation, photographs and preliminary sketches.

The Art Of Stitch Head Pete Williamson Tue 14 - Sun 26 Feb

This is the first exhibition of local artist Pete Williamson’s illustrations for the highly acclaimed Stitch Head children’s book series, written by Guy Bass. Featuring the original ‘strange and beautiful’ ink drawings of Stitch Head, The Creature, Arabella, Professor Erasmus and the many oddities that dwell in Castle Grotteskew, alongside newly created pieces inspired by the series. This unique exhibition will also feature one of Guy’s hilarious author events taking place on Sunday 19 February at 12pm.

Emma Bashforth Tue 28 Feb - Sun 12 Mar Emma is a local pen and ink artist whose work mainly consists of privately commissioned architectural drawings. This exhibition of intricate pen and ink drawings was inspired by historical, monochrome illustrations and prints. The drawings depict stone, metal and wood faces – architectural details spotted whilst out and about in Tunbridge Wells and further afield.

Trinity Gallery offers a bright and adaptable exhibition space for artists of all mediums in the bustling centre of Tunbridge Wells to express their creativity to the community.

The Two Painters

Jo Messer & Sheila Pryce Tue 14 - Sun 19 Mar Our common interest is to create paintings that respond in a fresh, vital and immediate way; ones that are not bound by strictly conventional representation. Each painting is therefore a personal interpretation of some aspect of the world using imagination and drawing on visual impressions, feelings and personal recollections. The outcome of a painting cannot be fully anticipated when spontaneity and chance are allowed to play a part in the making.

The Rabbit Whole Benjamin Steel Tue 21 - Sun 26 Mar

Within the heart of Kent lies a world of acrylic, spray paint, pens, oils and watercolours. The Rabbit Whole is the creation of artist Benjamin Steel and this exhibition is the first public viewing of the wide spectrum of abstract paintings, landscape visions, portraits of local musicians and many other styles. The exhibition presents a unique, creative and alternative insight into a broad range of styles and art forms.

The Road To Asda Martin & Marilyn Garwood Tue 28 Mar - Sun 9 Apr

A landscape disrupted, a nature reconfigured, a history re-written – the A21 road works have exposed previously unseen layers of geology and memory. Man and machine have thrown objects, artifacts and vistas into new topographical relationships, rendering the familiar strange, and the ancient redundant. The photographs and paintings in this exhibition are both a requiem for a lost environment and a study of the emotional impact of human intervention in the landscape.

Works In Conversation Shona Masters & Ann Bruford Tue 11 - Sun 23 Apr

Working at opposite ends of the south coast for thirty years, two artists have spent a year questioning what forms the core of their work, examining how far they have grown from a shared passion for creating texture and form and the physicality of working materials by hand. Supporting each other as they embraced colour as a means of expression, this exhibition shows how Fine Art alongside Fine Craft enriches an artists’ practice.

Dan is in the glove compartment, in tupperware, decreasing in volume as the trip progresses.
