Brassed Off
Wednesday 28 September - Saturday 1 October, 7:30pm
Saturday matinee 1pm
Told through the eyes of Shane, he tells us of the
struggles affecting the small Yorkshire mining community of Grimley.
A community that's fighting to maintain dignity and hope
when it has it's heart ripped out by Government pit closures of the
1980s.
It is a story of triumph, music and the human spirit over
hardship and despondency.

A Perfect Likeness
Wednesday 5 October, 7:30pm
Reclusive writer and photographer Charles Dodgson (also
known as ‘Lewis Carroll’) invites celebrity author Charles Dickens to his
Oxford home to pose for a portrait.
Dickens is so intrigued by the whimsical Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland that he accepts. What ensues is a baring of two
creative souls, the one private and fastidious, the other boisterous and
irreverent.
The result is a hilarious and revealing conversation
between two quirky, fascinating, and completely different men.

that calls for a real hero.
