Turn
Your Favourite Nights Out Into a Night In With These DIY Experiences

craving it. But now, you can recreate the experience at home, because the
city's bars and restaurants are serving up their own do-it-at-home
experiences.

Seven
reasons you should tune in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've got your Saturday
evening sorted...
It
would be a sin to miss our fast-paced,
high-energy new production of Weill and
Brecht's final collaboration The Seven Deadly
Sins, streaming live
from Leeds Playhouse tonight, Saturday
21 November at 6pm GMT.
Here are seven reasons why you'll
be envious if you don't join us in
1930s America for this vibrant,
satirical sung ballet...
|
|
|
|
1. The tumultuous
story
Anna is sent by her exploitative family
on a seven-year journey through seven
American cities to earn enough money
for a house, facing the seven deadly
sins on the way...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The playful music
Weill's witty score plays with musical
styles popular in America in the
1920s/30s, like foxtrot and barbershop.
The orchestra of 15 will be seen on
stage, becoming part of the piece.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. The two Annas
Torn between making money and her
morals, Anna's split personality is
played by two people: mezzo-soprano Wallis
Giunta (Anna I) and dancer Shelley
Eva Haden (Anna II).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The sinful satire
Ironising society’s willingness to
sacrifice values for the sake of
financial gain, expect cultural and
political references, musical parodies
and a Greek chorus (Anna's family)
providing a mocking commentary on the
action!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. The fabulous
feathers
Check out Anna II's impressive
feathered headdress which she wears as
a cabaret dancer, our talented Costume
team are DYE-ing to show you how it's
made!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. The £10 tickets
The Seven Deadly
Sins costs £10
to stream live, and will be available
to watch on demand for 48 hours. If
several people will be watching, do
consider purchasing extra tickets –
your support will help us to continue
using music to bring people together.

Comedy Special
"Stand Up Is the Cockroach of Art Forms"
What
happens to stand-up comedy when the whole city locks down?
New York stand-up
comedian Gianmarco Soresi sat down with us and shared this fascinating bit:
"...stand up
is the cockroach of art forms, and within weeks, people were producing Zoom
shows, Twitch shows, Instagram Live shows, most of which were utterly
dreadful, but I’m an addict for attention and clung to whatever weird,
buffered laughter I could get."

Discover
the island of Ireland's Lighthouses!
As a lone
island at the edges of the Atlantic Ocean, Ireland has lit the way
for many an intrepid mariner over the centuries, its waters striped
by beacons beaming from an army of lighthouses. Countless tales of
shipwreck, romance and tragedy swirl in the very water that
surrounds these towering structures.
From the shores
of Ireland's Ancient East and Northern Ireland to the magnificent
coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way, the island of Ireland is filled
to the brim with epic lighthouses, each one of with its own unique
story...
