Lance Pierson presents
The Life and Poems of Sir John Betjeman
John Betjeman achieved huge success during his lifetime and continues to retain his 'National Treasure' status more than twenty years after his death. He is by a long way the best-selling English poet of the 20th century. His gift for writing light verse, his dazzling technical abilities and his combination of eccentricity and Englishness are all key ingredients in his enduring popularity.
Actor Lance Pierson tells the story of Betjeman's life through his funny, moving and always interesting poems. Through Betjeman's heartbreaks and triumphs Lance paints a picture of a changing twentieth century England.
Lance weaves a narrative about Betjeman' s life in between each poem. He has researched the story behind each poem and sets them in context of Betjeman' s life. The show is therefore a journey through Betjeman's life and passions.
Featuring Betjeman's most famous and significant poems including 'Slough', 'A Subaltern's Love Song' (Joan Hunter Dunn), 'Diary of a Church Mouse', 'Hunter Trials' and 'In a Bath Teashop.'

The Sinodun Players present Alan Ayckbourn's
Improbable Fiction
A meeting of six aspiring but unsuccessful authors. Baffling sci-fi, children's stories, historical romance, 'tec stories, musicals.... Even instruction manuals. But how to get started - how to publish?
Suddenly, a clap of thunder - and the world turns upside down. If a squirrel meets a goblin, will they dance? Can Rex Van Ecks, superhero, capture the alien abductors of Arnold's mum? Why is someone trying to drive Ilsa, the penniless orphan, mad? Can ace sleuth Jim Rash stop spouting poetry long enough to nab the murderer of Arnold's wife, despite Arnold being a bachelor? Will there be 'Light at the End of the Tunnel' and will it be in Eb? And who the heck is Arnold anyway?
All will be revealed - possibly - as the members of the Pendon Literary Circle lose their collective writers' block and bring their stories to kaleidoscopic life in Ayckbourn's most dazzling, multi-layered and hilarious comedy.

Cold Comfort Farm
A classic of its kind, a dazzling parody of the earthy, melodramatic novels of the period.
Flora Poste has been expensively educated to do everything but earn her own living. When she is orphaned at twenty, she decides her only option is to go and live with her relatives, the Starkadders, at Cold Comfort Farm.
What relatives, though: Judith, alone in her grief; raving old Ada Doom, who once saw something nasty in the woodshed; Amos, called by God; Seth, smouldering with sex; and Elfine, who just needs a little polish. Flora feels it incumbent upon her to bring order into the chaos. And she turns out to be remarkably good at it. [Penguin Books]
