March events at Southwold Library


MONDAY 4th March. Suffolk Libraries presents: A Woman of No Importance 2.30pm & 7.30pm, Southwold Arts Centre, St Edmunds Hall. Tickets £10 (£8 for 12s and under). Suffolk Libraries presents are amazing performances and cultural events recorded live and screened using top quality projection equipment. Set in the nineteenth century, Oscar Wilde's A Woman of No Importance


follows a group


of guests at a party at Lady Hunstanton's estate in the lavish English countryside. The party's guests, which include the widow Mrs Arbuthnot, her son Gerald and American outsider Hester, uncover truths about themselves and each other that will alter their lives forever. Wilde's story explores class, family and double standards towards women as the guests grapple with unexpected visitors, their selfish actions and intentions. The play tackles the themes of money, which, as aristocrats, they consider an unlimited resource, and the innocence of the play's younger characters. From the 2017 production at Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End. Cast: Eleanor Bron, Anne Reid, Eve Best & William Gaunt. Tickets available from Southwold Library, Southwold Arts Centre and via www.ticketsource.co.uk/ suffolklibraries

Suffolk Libraries presents: An Ideal Husband 2.30pm & 7.30pm Southwold Arts Centre, St Edmunds Hall. Tickets £10 (£8 for 12s and under).The Rolls- Royce of English comedies, Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband brings an act of political sin into the heart of the English home, playing as part of classic Spring’s year-long celebration of Wilde. In An Ideal Husband, an


ambitious government minister, Sir Robert Chiltern, is on an assured smooth ascent to the top. Until Mrs Cheveley appears in London with damning proof of his previous financial chicanery, that is. An Ideal Husband is Wilde’s sharp and witty exploration of the corruption, blackmail and honour that ensues when political sin enters the heart of the English home. Real-life father and son, Edward and Freddie Fox, play fictional father and son in the show, while the brilliant Frances Barber plays Mrs. Cheveley. The production also stars Nathaniel Parker, Sally Bretton and Susan Hampshire. From the 2017 production at Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End.

Popular pub pledges its support


THE Queen's Head at Bramfield has named the Pear Tree Fund as its charity of the year.


The popular pub has chosen


to support the Pear Tree Fund, which was formerly known as Halesworth Community Nursing Care Fund, because of the work it does for vulnerable local people. It already has a collection tin on its bar and is now organising a calendar of special events to raise further funds. “We’re delighted to be able to help the Pear Tree Fund in any way we can,” said Kate Wood, owner of The Queen’s Head. “Since buying The Queen’s Head in July last year, we’ve discovered what a fantastic place Halesworth and the surrounding area is, and are keen to assist this hard- working charity to benefit the local community. Pubs are an intrinsic part of our culture and community and have always been staunch supporters of fundraising for charities. This is something we’re keen to continue.” The fundraising kicks off


in April when a frangipane and pear tart, inspired by the charity’s name, will be added to the pudding menu, with all profits going to the Pear Tree Fund. In addition, a charity fizz and


fashion show will take place at the pub from 6pm on Friday 26th April, featuring runway shows from Donnatella's of Oulton Broad and Gorleston.


THE Halesworth branch of CRUK held a Jumble and “Good as New” sale at their new venue in Holton Village Hall on Saturday 16th February. It was very well supported and a total of £445.15 raised. Steve of The White Swan, Halesworth
