STEPHEN VENABLES IN THE STEPS OF SHACKLETON

FRIDAY 25 FEBRUARY 7.30PM

MAX BOYCE & FRIENDS Max Boyce is a Welsh icon. His albums have sold in their millions and subsequently he has been awarded six gold discs and an MBE. Internationally acclaimed mountaineer Stephen Venables has twice repeated Sir Ernest Shackleton’s famous crossing of South Georgia - one of the great epics of exploration. In this gripping lecture, Stephen brings Shackleton’s extraordinary expedition to life.

Using his highly acclaimed photos and natural gifts as a storyteller to illustrate this treacherous journey, he captures the thrill of climbing, skiing and sailing in a place of such haunting beauty.

His album Doctors Papers soared to number 1 in the album charts, the first and only comedy album ever to do so.

Over the years his BBC TV series have been hugely successful with Max Boyce’s World Cup Journey nominated for a BAFTA award.

Along comes the meddling Figaro, the town barber, and suddenly we have all the ingredients for confusion and mayhem…

Beautifully staged, charming traditional costume and performed by some of the finest singers and orchestral players in the country. A rollicking evening’s entertainment, full of theatrical wit and humour and a feast for the eyes and ears.

PRIVATE PEACEFUL ADAPTED & DIRECTED BY SIMON READE

WRITTEN BY MICHAEL MORPURGO - THIRD CHILDREN’S LAUREATE AND WINNER OF THE BLUE PETER BOOK OF THE YEAR. Private Tommo Peaceful, a young First World War soldier awaits the firing squad at dawn. During the night he looks back at his short but joyful past growing up in rural Devon: his exciting first days at school; the accident in the forest that killed his father; his adventures with Molly, the love of his life; and the battles and injustices of war that brought him to the front line.

‘The horrors of war and the joyfulness of life are bound up together in this magnificent show.’
