THE PEOPLE’S STRING FOUNDATION The People’s String Foundation: Res Publica Fri 7 Dec • 8pm • Full £14 Concs £12 Music The People’s String Foundation are an army of bohemians and vagabonds hailing from the grass roots of British music culture; mixing world, Classical and urban styles in anarchic embroilment. This fantastic Cornish band is fronted by the virtuoso violinist Ben Sutcliffe (Director Of Music for Rogue Theatre, Kneehigh Theatre and the Minack Theatre) with co-founder and composer Zaid Al-Rikabi at the core. Ben and Zaid are packing their 32 piece Gypsy Orchestra into a suitcase and taking the “Virtual Orchestra” on tour as a live duo, with their newest album release Res Publica. This music is sure to set your heart racing, get your toes tapping, and warm the soul with the people’s spirit and grafter’s hearts. “The People’s String Foundation is one of the great wonders of the West – Stonking, earthy, organic, delicate, and barn-storming. The upcoming Res Publica tour by The People’s String Foundation is an impassioned and bold project to bring a larger-than-life production to intimate or remote venues. This work, of such big heartedness and brilliance, is desperately needed!” – Charles Hazlewood – conductor and composer “The vocal performances are remarkable and the orchestrations are inventive, exploratory and beautifully performed. The entire piece is fresh and youthfully enthusiastic with clear production values on a classical scale. Surely these musicians and this piece are worthy of consideration for this year’s Mercury prize” – Ralph McTell

Join her in a bumper bundle selection box of seasonal fun with all the trimmings. Book early to avoid disappointment. This will make the perfect ‘festive do’ in the company of lovable Barbara – Mother of Five who believes in bargains and getting the most out of life. Ergonomically correct, she doesn’t drive and travels the country by National Express coach. Her husband knows nothing of her burgeoning comedy career – he thinks she’s either at Bingo or dog sitting. Barbara starred in That Peter Kay Thing and then went on to star in both series of Phoenix Nights as god fearing Holy Mary. She played Peter Kay’s mum in Coronation Street and also appeared in Max and Paddy as Holy Mary. “The malapropism spouting Stockport Housewife is a force of nature –energetically cajoling the audience to take part in her hare-brained stunts and injecting an unbeatable air of fun and excitement into the room” – Chortle NUNKIE PRODUCTIONS A Warning to the Curious By M R James Sat 8 Dec • 8pm • Full £14 Concs £10 Professional Theatre “Storytelling at its finest” – The Stage Over a century after they were first published, the ghost stories of M R James retain their power to terrify and amuse. This gripping one man show retells two of the eeriest. Lost Hearts was among the first stories the author wrote and it offers one of his most memorable villains, the predatory scholar Mr Abney. It is paired here with perhaps James’s most poignant and personal work: A Warning to the Curious, in which a young archaeologist is haunted and hunted by the guardian of an ancient treasure. The English seaside has never looked so menacing. Prepare to be chilled!
