WELCOME TO SUMMER AT TRINITY Welcome to our Summer Season at Trinity Theatre! Whilst there is no knowing if the climate will reflect the time of the year anytime soon, I can promise a wealth of up coming entertainment - dramatic productions, comedy and music from local bands, and artists from further afield.

We also have loads for young people with our Sunday afternoon productions, as well as our extremely popular youth programme and summer workshops.

Our widely diverse and captivating film programme continues. There are many hidden delights in our range of foreign, independent and animated features and I highly recommend your coming to a screening if you haven’t yet done so.

With all the talk of new cinemas opening in Tunbridge Wells please spread the word that we are still the only screen in the centre of town!

John Martin Artistic Director

This year sees two big anniversaries – the Queen’s 90th and the Bard’s 400th and we will be celebrating both throughout the year.

As always, my thanks to you, our audience, for your continued and growing support – without you we simply could not do what we are currently doing – or develop exciting plans for the future. Why not consider becoming a Friend? Not only will you be extending your support but you will receive priority booking, discounted tickets and rewards on your film purchases.

Hopefully the sun will shine on us and we can all enjoy the Terrace and Garden – which is a quiet oasis in the centre of town where you can enjoy a drink or light meal from our Café and Bar. As ever I welcome your comments and feedback – and please feel free to email me at john@trinitytheatre.net

Ragnarök Matt Syms Mon 13 - Sun 26 Jun Ragnarök is the second solo exhibition by Tunbridge Wells based Illustrator and Trinity Theatre’s Associate Artist, Matt Syms.

The concept takes playing card design and unites it with the characters and deities of Norse Mythology (Odin, Thor, Loki, Fenrir etc.) in a fresh and unique perspective on a familiar and venerable subject. Drawn in graphite pencil, digitally remastered with colour, the exhibition will be Matt Syms’ largest body of work yet embarked upon.

Dear Diary Nat O’Millervan Mon 27 Jun - Sun 3 Jul Presenting an eclectic exhibition which is close to her heart, Nat invites people to gain an inside perspective, both intrusive and endearing, that we rarely have with one another, a look inside her diaries. With society turning to social media to express itself and its opinions more openly on a day-to-day basis, Nat’s collation of art, words and memories is a fresh and yet oldfashioned approach to recounting our lives. Exhibit may contain strong language.

Art Rocks Jo Brown & Karen Gardner Mon 4 - Sun 17 Jul Somewhere between 2-D and 3-D, between Halifax and Kent, between a rock and a hard spot, lies the collaborative work between Jo, a painter in the expressionistic genre, and Karen, a site specific sculptress. Together they address the issues of collaboration, gravity, form and surface.

Opening Launch Sat 9 Jul | 1pm – 3pm

Diversitas Shirley Baker Gore Mon 18 - Sun 31 Jul Shirley is a screen printer who produces no more than six original prints in any edition. Spending time between her homes in the UK and Italy, Shirley is stimulated by a wide variety of subject matter: landscapes, nature, people, shapes and form, and is always excited by the next inspiration. The colours used reflect her energy and the vitality that she sees in the world. This exhibition is an eclectic sample of this diversity of approach.

East And West Nick Winter Mon 1 - Sun 14 Aug An exhibition of ceramics and brush painting. A western interest in invention and completion combined with an Eastern focus on tradition, process and practice. The moment of making, captured by ink on paper or in clay and glazes twice fired to white heat. Unique handmade pieces which sit on the aesthetic boundary between art and craft.

Sat 6 & Sat 13 Aug | 3pm | Demonstration of brush painting Sun 7 Aug | 3pm | A talk by the artist More info @ nickwinter.co.uk
