presented by Black Bat Productions Its the big day. The announcement is in a few hours time, and film producers David and Kate anticipate their prestigious Civil War epic Catch Me Some Freedom will be nominated for plenty of Goldies. Until, however, they learn that the films heroic lead role, played by a white actor, was in real life actually Black. Fearing an intense and career-jeopardizing backlash, David and Kate frantically try to avoid public scrutiny, and keep the film from getting any attention whatsoever. Featuring award-winning writer and performer Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller as David, and the acclaimed Rosie Hart as Kate, this comedic yet poignant Hollywood satire returns, acclaimed as genius ( Broadway Baby) with a wonderful set-up that delivers in every manner ( Violet Curtain). Black Bat Productions has been creating theatre since 2017, and has been behind a broad range of sharp, stylish pieces of theatre. The company has a curious, incisive, and acclaimed approach to original storytelling. Previous productions include: 1950s jazz noir Mack The Knife, Twilight-Zone-inspired mystery Technicolor , razor-sharp political satire Chagos 1971 , heist thriller Fear of Roses , 1960s fashion-industry caper Nines and contemporary comedy-drama The Kindness of Strangers . Black Bat Productions has seen two of its pieces published in 2024 by Methuen Drama: 1970s set play-with-songs In Everglade Studio and Hitchcock-esque noir thriller Port City Signature .

Room  A Journey into the Creative Mind of Virginia Woolf
written and performed by Heather Alexander directed by Dominique Gerrard presented by Emul8 Theatre Lock up your libraries if you like. There is no lock, no gate, no bolt you can set upon the freedom of my mind! Cambridge University, 1928. Virginia Woolf is abruptly ordered off the grass and refused entry to the library. Her crime? Being a woman. Following this, Woolf interrogates the crushing injustice of women living in 1920s Britain. With an incisive mix of integrity and visceral charm, Woolf forms her ideas about Shakespeares Sister, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Aphra Behn among others. In this witty, poignant and provocative adaptation, Alexander reminds us that the issues at the heart of A Room of Ones Own remain as relevant today as they were a hundred years ago. Emul8 Theatre Company challenges boundaries, seeking to engage the audience in a dialogue around themes of justice, female empowerment, and freedom of expression. They develop fresh ideas and perspectives, offering new writing around current issues, concerns and controversies. They also dramatise and adapt existing iconic texts, making them accessible and relevant to a contemporary audience. Emul8 seeks to interrogate prejudices and stereotypical representations through thought-provoking and innovative text and staging.

What a Gay Day!  The Larry Grayson Story  by Tim Connery
directed by Alex Donald presented by The Bridge House Theatre The award winning Bridge House Theatre are delighted to be returning to The Jack Studio theatre with their new show. Shut that door! Larry Grayson, one of the countrys best-loved light entertainers, is back from The Other Side (no, not ITV) to tell the story of his extraordinary life. Larry was the camp stand-up who, with his innuendo-laden tales, told stories of friends like Everard and Slack Alice. In this fusion of autobiographical reminiscing and stand-up, Larry reveals all. From his birth in 1923 to an unmarried mother at a time when such things brought nothing but shame, to his fostering by a hard-working miner and his family, Larry maintained an incredible drive to become a variety star at a time when variety was dying. Drag artist, comedian, song-and-dance man, Larry did it all, but he was consigned to showbusiness oblivion by an early TV appearance. No one, least of all Larry, expected him to become a major light entertainment star later in life, with his shows watched by over 20 million people on Saturday nights in the 1970s and 1980s. A gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal, he was marginalised by his own sexuality, but was also bizarrely targeted by the Gay Liberation Front for not being what they wanted to promote. The camp comic who paved the way for so many others, he is now in danger of being forgotten. So spend an evening with Larry, his hilarious friends, his anecdotes and catchphrases, and the humour of the decades he lived though, and find out what he did in the Rolls Royce that he could not drive.
