Richard CALDWELL talks about
DOPING IN THE OLYMPICS are the test results certain ?
The
Drug Control Centre at King's College, London, is the only laboratory in
the UK which is accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency to test
sportsmen and women for prohibited substances. It will be responsible for
drug testing at the 2012 London Olympics. Richard Caldwell will tell us
about the Olympic laboratory being built in Harlow and the staff who will
be working there. He will go on to describe the substances banned in
sport; the reasons why they are banned; and how the Drug Control Centre
can identify these substances.
Richard
Caldwell is a biochemist who previously worked in an NHS Poisons Unit at
Guys Hospital. While working at the Drug Control Centre, he has been
involved in testing athletes participating in the Commonwealth Games and
the Olympics.

No-Man's Land is an immensely funny and entertaining play that has become a modern classic. Hirst and Spooner, two ageing poets, meet on Hampstead Heath and return home for an alcohol-fuelled night of witty interchanges. Spooner attempts to ingratiate himself into the household that Hirst shares with two menacing servants, Briggs and Foster, by offering to help revive Hirst's successful literary career in return for employment, but the outsider is defeated as Hirst is beyond help, living in a no-man's land somewhere between life and death 'which remains forever icy and silent'.
TICKETS: First Night (Wednesday) £8

Relationships: whose idea was that?
One
of you wants to get things done, the other wants to chill out in the
garden. One of you wants a minute’s peace, the other wants to talk
(and talk and talk). One of you likes things the way they are, the
other wants a project. One of you knows that eating that apple is
the wrong thing to do, but the other is going to eat it anyway.
Relationships
shouldn’t work, but somehow they do – so who did the groundwork?
In
this witty and modern adaptation of Mark Twain’s affectionate satire,
Adam and Eve – the world’s first couple – confront their many
differences to find successful ways of living and loving together.
What they learn about each other on the way will be familiar and funny to
anyone who has ever experienced a close relationship.

girls and cares for them in a safe and loving environment. The children
live in small family units, each with a house mother who looks after them
as she would care for her own children. We provide each child with food,

abuse and exploitation. We have been caring for children since 1999.

Forked
tongues: the evolution of human languages
Mark
Pagel
Professor
of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Reading.
There
are about 7000 mutually unintelligible languages spoken on Earth, granting
humans the dubious distinction of being perhaps the only species whose
members cannot all communicate with each other. When did human language
evolve, why do only humans have language, why are there so many languages
and what does the future hold for the diversity of human language? Recent
work on the ecology and evolutionary history of languages is throwing
light on these questions, revealing human language as a remarkable
culturally transmitted trait whose features reflect a strong role in
establishing and maintaining cultural identities as well as in
communication.
Mark Pagel FRS is Professor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of
Reading. His book Wired for Culture is published in February-March
of 2012.

English lyrics by Kit Hesketh Harvey

In the cultural melting pot of East London's galleries, clubs and cafes, burlesque artist Violetta is the reigning queen, adored by everyone from barristers to baristas. But she's hiding a fearful secret. When she unexpectedly falls for young city trader Al, neither has any idea where it might lead - especially as al harbours a secret too ....
