An annimated feature based on a story by the great Jacques Tati
The Illusionist
The story of a dying breed of stage entertainer whose thunder is being stolen by emerging rock stars. Forced to accept increasingly obscure assignments in fringe theaters, garden parties and bars, he meets a young fan who changes his life forever.
This animated charmer really oozes Tati's peculiar brand of character comedy from every single pore.
Yes, the story is more sentimental and streamlined than the master's original efforts, but Tati's central issues (such as old-fashioned life-styles and values confronted by modern technology), his eye for detail, his pleasantly reserved humanity and his wonderful sense for comedic timing and subtle gags are all left intact by the careful makers of this gem. And the rendering of the Hulot character with all his distinctive mannerisms is a joy to behold.

The Sinodun Players present Timberlake Wertenbaker's
Our Country's Good
1988 Winner of Laurence Olivier Award and BBC Award for the Play of the Year
1991 New York Drama Critic's Circle Award
If you have not seen this 1988 play by British playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker, then you are in for a real treat. It charts the story of the first fleet of British Officers and convicts to Australia in 1788 to establish the first penal colony. According to history a group of the convicts (mainly illiterate petty criminals from all over the UK) rehearsed and performed a play by George Farquhar - a well known Restoration playwright - on the anniversary of King George III's birthday.
The play explores the relationships between the officers and the convicts, the class system within the convict camp, and the effect on the indigenous people with the arrival of the British. It explores themes of identity, punishment, the Georgian judicial system, and the idea that it is possible for "theatre to be a humanising force". It is funny, distressing, moving and thought-provoking. If you enjoy theatre, this play is a "must see".

Rebecca Vaughan portrays
Austen's Women
Jane Austen, 'the mother of romance novelists' was a woman ahead of her time creating some of literature's most celebrated characters and defining her era, her sex and her class. She speaks for the yearning heart as much now as in her own day... But just how much have things really changed for women since then?
In a bold revisiting using nothing but the words of Austen herself, the souls of Emma Woodhouse, Lizzy Bennet, Mrs Norris, Miss Bates and many more are brilliantly illuminated. Taken out of context (and in the absence of the men!) these women speak volumes for their sex and their standing constrained by the stringent societal code of their time.
Lovers of Jane Austen or the uninitiated few will revel in appreciation of the queen of English of Literature distilled to her essence!

The Sinodun Players present their traditional pantomime
Jack and the Beanstalk
The last time the Sinodun Players performed Jack and the Beanstalk was in 1994. This pantomime is a 'classic' with all the essentials; there's the wonderful cow, Buttermilk, Simple Simon and his brother Jack, both a good and a bad Fairy, two daft policemen, an outrageous dame, a villain, a beautiful Princess and, of course a very, very big Giant (Fe, fi, fo, fum!).
The spectacular growth of the magic beanstalk is worth seeing in its own right. You will need to book early to avoid missing this fantastic family show with its special effects and uproarious gags.
