pantomime entitled Throbbin Hood, has been written and produced by Leiston Film Theatre manager, Wayne Burns, under the ‘Team B Productions’ title. With quill in hand, Wayne spent many months putting together the madcap medieval romp, which was originally performed as a three-night, sell-out run at the Leiston’s prestigious cinema and theatre in September 2016, to the enjoyment of all those who were lucky enough to get tickets. Shortly after, Wayne was


invited to bring the show to the stage of Felixstowe’s popular Spa Pavilion Theatre, which re-opened its doors in 2015 and now, the cast are busily


preparing for their outing to the seaside on Friday 26th October, for the special one- off performance at 8.00pm. In this saucy version of the


familiar tale of Nottingham’s favourite outlaw, Robin and his band of very Merry Men take the fair Maid Marian into their fold, when the ruthless Sheriff of Nottingham decides that he wants to imprison her at his castle on the hill for his own pleasure! Luckily, Robin is aided by Friar Tuck, who has a dirty habit and the not so little John, to help rescue Robin’s one true love. The cast, all of whom


are experienced am-dram performers and who have volunteered their time to join Wayne on stage and raise a chuckle or two, are looking forward to supporting the venue and bringing the show to a larger stage. Tickets are already proving very popular, with over 150 tickets already sold. “I’d been threatening to


pen this panto for a few years and I was surprised when a number of like-minded fellow performers offered their services to help bring


this risqué adventure to the stage. We had an absolute blast performing the show in Leiston and look forward to giving our Felixstowe audience a darn good laugh. We’re all thrilled to be given this opportunity to perform at such a great venue.” said Wayne. Belle Coaches


are


operating a Throbbin Hood excursion, with numerous collections between Lowestoft and Ipswich. For more details, please visit: www. bellecoaches.co.uk Wayne is also currently


working on Team B’s next pantomime for grown-ups, Rude Riding Hood, which appears at the Leiston Film Theatre in September 2019, with tickets on sale from Monday 3rd December. For more details, please visit: www.leistonfilmtheatre.co.uk Throbbin Hood appears


live at Spa Pavilion Theatre, Felixstowe on Friday 26th October at 8.00pm. Tickets are priced £16.50 and £15.00 and are now available from the Spa Pavilion box office on 01394 284962 or online at: www.spapavilionuk

Latitude 2018


LATITUDE Festival takes place on Thursday 12th - Sunday 15th July 2018 in the stunning grounds of Henham Park, Suf- folk. Recently awarded Best Major Festival by UK Festival Awards, Latitude returns with an all-new look for 2018 – a refreshed programme and emboldened vision retaining everything you loved about the festival, but also moving in an exciting new direction that looks to the future. Latitude loves a success story,


and is famed for breaking new talent and nurturing artists so it’s truly thrilling to host Alt-J as headliners once more. We are delighted to welcome them “home” for what promises to be an exciting show – with the pos- sible premiere of brand new material, this one is going to be unmissable. An eclectic host of acts await


Latitude revellers. Stages will be alive with the sounds of The Vaccines, Wolf Alice, Rag’n’Bone Man, James, Mog- wai, Jon Hopkins, The Charla- tans, Benjamin Clementine, Jes- sie Ware, Alvvays, tUnE-yArDs, The Breeders, Fickle Friends, Bomba Estéreo, Clark perform- ing latest album Death Peak Live, Parquet Courts, Ibeyi, IDLES, Hinds, Fickle Friends and many more, with further acts to be announced. Something for everyone would be an understatement – this is a mind-blowing line up that you won’t want to miss. Latitude has never been just


about the music – it’s a culturally enriching experience and this year’s comedy, theatre and arts roster is set to be the festival’s most diverse and forward-think- ing yet. Two exciting comedy


headliners are both performing at Latitude for the first time, award-winning stand-up and star of BBC Radio 4’s Utopia,Bridg- et Christie makes a rare festival appearance, while national trea- sure Harry Hill brings a career’s worth of comedy gold to our stage. Latitude has a reputation for


having one of the most eclectic line ups in the UK, and 2018 is no exception:


Sadler’s


Wells return to Henham Park presenting dance companies still to be revealed, whilst the first shows of the theatre bill include a spectacular headline perfor- mance by an international sensa- tion: Recirquel Contemporary Circus: Paris de Nuit will trans- port the audience to the roaring 30s. There’s so much happening at Latitude in 2018, some serious refuelling will be in order, and the festival is upping the grub game. Latitude will become the first major festival to do away with ‘fast food’ with the Arena now catered entirely by Street Food organised by Lon- don’s Street Feast. Families looking for quality


time together need go no further than Latitude’s Enchanted Gar- den, where they’ll get the chance to make some magic of their own, including VR workshops with top industry creatives, screen printing T-shirts, trapeze and circus skills, and the brilliant Family Socials which pack weekend mornings with family- friendly comedy, live music, dance and theatre. There’s a par- ent pen for shattered parents who can’t keep up or yoga to unwind! -More details and tickets avail- able online – www.latitudefesti- val.com
