Hands on History : Poo from the past 2nd Aug • The Winding House


Every Wednesday of the Summer holidays. Free activities, no need to book, just drop in between 11 and 1pm. Have a go at these little drop in activities for free. Dustbin archaeology Poo from the past Pens from the past Toys through time Codes and code breaking


The premise of the show is simple: once upon a time when you took a book from the shelf it always opened at the well-thumbed mucky bits! The Librarian is performed by Terry Victor in this libertine and ribald celebration of historically robust language and subject matter. Well Thumbed pages from the Bible to D.H. Lawrence by way of Jane Austen’s dirty bits will be riffled for your pleasure. Notional Theatre is delighted to present Well Thumbed at Chapter prior to its run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2017. These pre-Edinburgh fringe performances will be accompanied by an original Well Thumbed Authors exhibition by the artist Carl Chapple.

Flying Atoms 8 Sept • Taliesin Arts Centre

Illyria Outdoor Theatre - The Mikado • 28 Aug • Atlantic College


In 2011 Illyria raised the bar for the major UK open-air touring theatre companies by becoming the first and only one to add Operetta to its regular season. In the town of Titipu flirting has been made illegal. The penalty, by order of The Mikado, is death. Too bad then that the main culprit is the Lord High Executioner Ko-Ko, who wishes to marry his beautiful young ward Yum-Yum, and who has no intention of executing himself. Can the itinerant musician Nanki-Poo be persuaded to be executed in his place? Can Pooh-Bah, the one man who occupies every role in public office in Titipu, be persuaded to take advantage of his influential access to himself to bend his own ear? And what would happen if anyone should dare to tell the Mikado that an execution had taken place when in fact it hadn’t…? Gilbert & Sullivan’s wry comic opera, set in Japan but with satire clearly aimed at the British political classes, gets the complete Illyria treatment. It is performed by a cast of 6 actor/singers accompanied by a musical director on keyboards, and is produced on a stage boasting a strikingly large (and authentic) Japanese torii gate. Despite the reduction in scale not a single word from WS Gilbert’s libretto is cut, nor a single note or harmony from Sir Arthur Sullivan’s score unsung. Recommended for adults and children aged 5+ Running time: 2 hours including 20 minute interval
