JOKER: LIVE IN CONCERT


When Todd Phillips’ movie Joker came out in 2019, with Joaquin Phoenix as the clownfaced protagonist, many worried that its amoral scenes would lead to copycat incidents from disaffected youths.

THIS ISLAND’S MINE


Roustabout, a Bristolian young person’s theatre company, are taking their latest play This Island’s Mine on tour across the UK, including a date in Blackwood (with two performances, at 11am and 2pm). It’s a riff on The Tempest which keeps Shakespeare’s island-bound setting and runs with one of the themes that some scholars attribute to the Bard’s vision – colonialism – but updated for our modern society.


Miners Institute, Blackwood, Sat 6 Nov. Tickets: £8. Info: blackwoodminersinstitute.com
