SHARING EXPERIENCES

WELCOME! We are delighted to share another exceptional season full of thrills and spills in comedy, theatre, dance, film, music and more to creatively ignite Eastleigh Borough. Autumn is such an exciting season, getting increasingly festive as the months go by, with merriment in abundance no matter your age. Get ready to be wowed!

Kicking off the festive season are Santa’s Grotto and The Sorting Office’s Christmas Makers Market to get us in that sparkly December mood during Eastleigh’s Christmas lights switch on. The sublime Hundred Watt Club’s Festive Burlesque takes care of all your Christmas night out needs and is guaranteed to brighten up cold winter nights (this one is firmly for the grown-ups!). For families we welcome back Slot Machine Theatre to The Berry Theatre to delight imaginations with Kipper’s Snowy Day, starring the much-loved pup so many of us grew up enjoying or have shared with our children and grandchildren. Slot Machine are also taking up residence in our Studio Theatre at The Point with SNUG, our first ever magical storyworld, free for under 5s and their carers.

Back to September, Autumn kicks off with the Sustainability Hub Big Ideas Weekend, a free event brimming with local creative and community action for our planet including stalls and pop-up performances. Eastleigh Film Festival will take place later than usual this year but still provides an cinematic feast of film for the senses including a chance to create your own SFX in Monty Python and the Foley Grail. Halloween Half Term will be boo-rilliant for little goblins and ghouls with Nick Sharratt’s Halloween Draw-along a highlight amongst a plethora of ways to get involved.

All of our regular favourites make a welcome return so we can carry on enjoying Too Good Tuesdays, The Comedy Network, Inclusive Cinema, StoryTribe and our fabulous classes and courses, including the relaunch of our Point Young Companies for theatre and dance for anyone aged 5 – 18 who is ready for a creative youth revolution!

Personally, I cannot wait for Destiny and What Songs May Do… because I love beautiful storytelling that can lift and move you all at once, but whatever you choose, we thank you for your continued support and we cannot wait to welcome you.

THIS CHRISTMAS AT THE BERRY THEATRE! SLOT MACHINE THEATRE PRESENTS

KIPPER’S SNOWY DAY

‘It was a new morning, and it was snowing!

Kipper rushed outside.

The snow lay deep and smooth and new, like an empty page waiting to be scribbled on…’

Kipper and his best friend Tiger go on an adventure in the snow – but on the way they lose their friend Arnold in a terrible storm.

Will they find him? And will they find their way back home?

Slot Machine Theatre presents the first-ever stage adaptation of Mick Inkpen’s well-loved books.

Filled with original songs and music, gorgeous puppetry and gentle humour, this warm-hearted Christmas show is perfect for children and their families.

This show was commissioned and co-produced by Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, Maidenhead.

HAL CRUTTENDEN:

IT’S BEST YOU HEAR IT FROM ME After 21 years and 224 days Hal’s back being single. But it’s all going to be fine.

Instead of getting the therapy he clearly needs, he’s made a cracking show about it. He’s lost enough weight to almost get his wedding ring off and, while he may be flying solo, he’s far from alone; he’s got his grown-up daughters, his dogs and his divorce lawyer. The fickle finger of fate has turned Hal’s life upside down but he’s sticking a finger right back at it.

FLORENCE ESPEUT-NICKLESS PRESENTS

DESTINY

Written and performed by Florence Espeut-Nickless. Directed by Jesse Jones.

“They’re sayin I brought it on myself.

Oh yeah, they’ve heard about me. Basically it must’ve been my fault cause I’m me, Destiny” Destiny dreams big. She dreams glamour. She’s gonna be an MTV Base backing dancer, you watch.

A “captivating” (★★★★ The Guardian) show that follows a teenage girl growing up on a Chippenham council estate. Born below the breadline, she’s desperate to see beyond the neighbourhood and find hope in hopelessness.

DESTINY is a recipient of The Pleasance’s 2021 National Partnerships Award with Bristol Old Vic FERMENT and was shortlisted for Theatre West’s Write On Women Award. It has been developed with support from Tobacco Factory Theatres, Bristol Old Vic FERMENT, Pound Arts, Strike a Light, The Pleasance, Tim Crouch, Wiltshire Creative, Natural Theatre, Paper Arts, Theatre Bristol, Hawkwood College, Arts Council England and Gane Trust.

THE STEPTOE & SON RADIO SHOW

Adapted by John Hewer.

Based on the original scripts by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.

Albert and Harold; father and son, rag-and-bone.

The father proclaims he’s “a poor old man” while the son protests that his dad is “a dirty old man!”

In actual fact, both are telling the truth.

THEATRE

These two warring rag-and-bone-men, in their Shepherd’s Bush scrapyard home, became household favourites for entire generations throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s and still they continue to entertain audiences today.

PROTEUS THEATRE PRESENT

ANGELA CARTER’S

THE BLOODY CHAMBER What are little girls made of?

They are made of the forest floor, the blood of the moon cycle, the fluttering of wings and the turning of keys. They are made of sweat, howling notes and desire. They are made of night scented stock – heady and sweet, the lily and the rose, the knife and the rope.

They are made of all the tales our Mothers told us.

And all the ones they didn’t dare.

Using circus as a physical vocabulary, the awardwinning Proteus will translate the fever dream style of Angela Carter’s macabre fairy tales to the stage. The Bloody Chamber is a heady, erotic, and surprisingly funny re-phrasing of some of the most famous folk and fairy tales in Western culture.

At a moment when women and men across the country confront the double standards of safety, sex, and the fears of what goes bump in the night, Carter’s incendiary caustic take on fairy stories as cautionary tales could not be a more formidable challenge to the status quo.
