Andy has a home-based studio


where he created virtually all the images used in his ARPS panel. Andy would like to say


that he is very grateful to the management of Tesco's supermarket in Beccles for allowing him to photograph food images in their store. He also wishes to add how indebted he feels to his friends in Bungay Camera Club and colleagues in the RPS for their support and advice over the two years it took him to develop his panel to the standard required for the ARPS distinction.

Mayflower 400 in Harleston its


The Cut Halesworth is delighted to announce SHAKE, a new Shakespeare festival for everybody


THE ambitious new SHAKE festival aims to blend fun, scholarship and theatrical expertise, in an inclusive, immersive event designed to appeal to all ages. It will take place at the end of half term, on the weekend of October 26th-27th. “We want this to be open to everyone – whether you know anything about Shakespeare or not”, said Jenny Hall, the festival director. “Workshops will have audiences as well as participants, and some will have professional actors, while some will be open to all so that anyone interested will be able to have a go.” Jenny Hall was invited


to create a festival after giving two workshops in May at The Cut, in speaking Shakespeare’s Verse using the method her father taught her when she played Miranda in his production of The Tempest at the National Theatre. The line-up is as follows but is subject to changes: Director Lucy Bailey


(Witness for the Prosecution at County Hall) will do a workshop based on Titus Andronicus titled Shock


& Gore– her production at London’s Globe Theatre had audience members fainting every night. Lucy has worked extensively at Snape and formed the Gogmagogs musical theatre group in Suffolk, which she says is the place of her heart! Suffolk based Ian Kelly,


the stage and screen actor and writer best known for his 2015 West-End hit play; ‘Mr Foote’s Other Leg’ starring Simon Russell-Beale and directed by Sir Richard Eyre, will give a talk titled "Shakespeare, Garrick and the Birth of an Icon”.


Dame Harriet Walter, the brilliant actress recently seen in ‘Succession’ on HBO and reported to be joining the cast for Killing Eve, will, availability permitting, lead a workshop on Shakespeare and Gender, and her two books on Shakespeare will be available in the foyer. Walpole-based


baritone


Rob Gildon will create a musical Merrie Evening of Shakespeare-inspired music and poetry read by Jenny Hall. John Wyver of Illuminations Media, will present two films


of famous stage productions. Before the


screening,


he will discuss film and television adaptations of RSC productions as well as his work producing the RSC Live from Stratford-upon-Avon cinema broadcasts. John is Director, Screen Productions at the RSC and the author of the recently published Screening the Royal Shakespeare Company: A Critical History (Bloomsbury, 2019) The Cut Choir will sing Shakespearean songs. The SHAKE Art exhibition


will run from September 12th – 27th and boast works by Suffolk locals Stuart Pearson- Wright, Celia Lyttleton, Jenny Polak (Norfolk and New York), Eamonn McCabe and Bill Jackson (both Suffolk based), Katrin MacGibbon and also London-based Kitty Arden, whose family are descended from Shakespeare’s mother.


Richard O’Brien (not the


Rocky Horror Show man) of the Shakespeare Institute at Birmingham University will give a talk about writing plays in verse. Dr Bonnie Lander-Johnson


of Cambridge University will give a lecture titled: 'Flowers, Folklore and Shakespeare’s Rural Upbringing’ (lecture with actors). Professor Grace Ioppolo of Reading University will give a lecture about Shakespeare’s troupe and the trouble they got into when touring in Suffolk and other places, titled: “Vagrant and licentious rabble”: The life of a travelling actor in Shakespeare’s England. Roger Eno will compose original music for a Dance workshop, led by Cut co- founder Caroline Mummery – centering on Ariel’s song ‘Come Unto These Yellow Sands’ from The Tempest. The Festival will kick off


with a Banquet on Friday 25th October, with special catering by Café 51 of Southwold. The menu will be based on food that Shakespeare referred to. Jenny Hall is the daughter


of Suffolk-born Sir Peter Hall, who founded the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-on-Avon in 1960 and she recently moved to Benhall, Saxmundham. “I was brought up on Shakespeare,


2020 will see the 400th anniversary of the long sea voyage made on the ship Mayflower by the group known as The Pilgrim Fathers, and their landfall in America. Put very simply, they were seeking a new life, free from the constraints imposed by the established Church on their right to worship as they wished. The 400th Anniversary is going to be marked nationally by activity and events all around the country at sites significant to the departure of the pilgrims. The year long project will run from Thanksgiving Day November 2019 until Thanksgiving Day 2020. Although not on the national Mayflower 400 itinerary, Harleston and district has its own very special reason to celebrate - since a family of four from Harleston (Dad Fuller, mum, son and dad’s brother) were among the passengers on that historic 1620 Mayflower voyage. So, a Mayflower 400 in Harleston programme is being put together under the coordinating umbrella of Harleston’s Future, and a growing programme will snowball during the anniversary year. Therefore, look out for the Mayflower 400 in Harleston logo which will signal all the town’s anniversary events. It was designed by ScribblyRoo, the young Alburgh artist who designed and painted the beautiful Harleston Hare which proudly sat stargazing outside St John’s Church last summer. A particularly significant event in the Mayflower 400 in


yet I still have vast gaps in my knowledge! I’m so grateful to The Cut for giving me this opportunity. For me it’s an exciting chance to discover more about this astonishing writer, in the sharing and immersive atmosphere of The Cut.


Hall will run three workshops during the festival, one each for children, teens, and adults. James Holloway, a founder


of The Cut who has directed many outdoor Shakespeare productions up and down the east coast, and taught at Summerhill School in Leiston, will give two workshops on Julius Caesar. Cordelia Monsey, long


time assistant to Sir Peter Hall, will give a workshop on Shakespeare’s Sonnets. “Everyone is welcome. I


hope some people might come and discover Shakespeare for the first time, and that those with real expertise will also want to come to share and enjoy”. “It’s going to be brilliant!


I can’t wait!” said James Holloway.


Harleston programme will be the visit here in mid July by members of The Fuller Society of America, descendants of the four brave settlers from Harleston who set sail into the unknown all those years ago. These American “reverse pilgrims” plan, of course, to go to St Mary’s, Redenhall, where the brothers Edward and Samuel Fuller were baptised, and where, in the Chancel, there is a plaque commemorating their forbears and an earlier welcome visit by the Fuller Society of America in 2011. Mayflower 400 in Harleston


will be launched by Harleston Academy


schoolchildren


on November 28th with the unveiling of a new art installation in St John’s Church. 400 paper origami ships, coloured by the youngsters and each carrying a thought, comment or message from the child, will sail across St John’s roofspace; and groups of children from the school will be given an introduction to Thanksgiving food (think pumpkins; turkeys; corn biscuits). After a week or three, the installation will go into store - to be reassembled for the Fuller Society’s visit to Redenhall. Rumour has it that another small fleet of model ships is in the making for a Mayflower boat race on the Waveney later in the summer. In advance of that launch


Waveney Heritage have announced a talk, “Harleston Pilgrim Fathers – Mayflower 400” by Margaret Griffiths on October 29th at 2.30pm at The Old School Brockdish (call


01379 668279 for tickets). Other events, either under way or in different stages of discussion, include a lecture programme; a commemorative drama; an archive film or drama documentary; Mayflower 400 theming for the Harleston and Waveney Festival and for the Harleston Academy summer Gala; a Mayflower bake-off; a special stamp cover, and more. The list goes on - and fuller (excuse the pun) details will be published as they are finalised, so please watch this space and also the website www. visitharleston.org.uk Anyone who would like to


know more, become involved, or has suggestions to enrich the programme further is encouraged to look up info@ harlestonsfuture.org.uk,


or


to contact Trevor Graham, Mayflower 400 in Harleston coordinator who can direct you to the right corner. Through all the year’s events,


and a mini serialisation for publication month by month, the Mayflower story, the key characters, and the significant part they came to play in the development of the American Constitution will be told. Harleston has every reason to be proud of and to celebrate the part that the Fuller family from Harleston played in the Mayflower endeavour. So, come November 2019 – let the commemoration begin! Enjoy, and be a part of it.
