Tony Stockwell: Psychic Medium

Tony Stockwell: Psychic Medium

7 Oct 2025 - 3 Dec 2025

Remarkably compelling, amazingly detailed and always humorous The popular star of TV’s Street Psychic, Psychic Private Eyes and Psychic Academy, Tony Stockwell has a long established credibility as one of the top Intuitive Mediums and has shared the stage all round the world with international mediums such as Colin Fry, James van Praagh and Lisa Williams. Tony demonstrates his belief that those who have passed can communicate with their loved ones with detailed messages frequently including names, dates and locations and all delivered with emotion, sensitivity and empathy. The evening may include psychometry, photographs readings and psychic prediction. Recent legislative guidelines insist that any Evening of Mediumship should be billed ‘for entertainment purposes’. Tony certainly uses his natural wit, showmanship and Cockney charisma to entertain but more important, Mediumship has the potential to change someone’s life and instil in them a sense of peace, comfort and purpose. We hope that nobody can fail to come away untouched by the experience.

PRIVATE LIVES By Nol Coward Presented by Dionysus Theatre We were so ridiculously over in love. Funny, wasnt it? Horribly funny Elyot and Amanda glamorous, rich, reckless and divorced. A surprise encounter on adjoining hotel balconies reignites their old flame, and they hurl themselves headlong into love once more, along with their newly married spouses, straight into chaos. Nol Cowards timeless comedy of manners, Private Lives, embarks on a UK tour in a dazzling new production from Dionysus Theatre. Starring company favourites Lauren Whedbee and Robert Tremayne (in the roles created by Coward and Gertrude Lawrence in the 1930 premiere), they are joined by company treasure David Upcraft and exciting newcomer Kelly Verstappen, stepping straight into the storm of high society scandal and domestic drama. Following her acclaimed direction of The Woman in White, founding member Vicky Newman returns to the directors seat to bring Cowards wit and whirlwind relationships to life. As passion flares and tempers boil, Elyot and Amanda must decide: will they confront their true feelings, or accept that they may have made a pair of very mistaken marriages? They flee to Amandas apartment in Paris to rekindle their romance but maybe, just maybe, this time itll end in a fairytale romance not a vicious slanging match. Recommended age 12+ Contains adult themes and smoking.

Born in the USA

Born in the USA

26 Sept 2025 - 26 Sept 2025

Following 4 and 5 star reviews in Edinburgh and at Londons Park Theatre, this enthralling and timely solo play is touring the UK in 2025. Michigan. Present day. Jimmy Vandenburg, ex-Ford factory car worker, works alone in his garage servicing the classic American cars of his youth. He is the man born down in a dead mans town, the antihero of the Bruce Springsteen anthem, trying to survive in the economic wasteland of the rust belt. A decorated Vietnam war veteran, Jimmy felt his service for his country was ignored after he came home. Trumps call to Make America Great Again appeals to Jimmys disillusionment. But his new-found politics drives a wedge between him and his wife and daughter until a chance visit by the son of a fallen comrade makes him doubt his convictions and leads to a profound emotional reconciliation. In recent years, political debate has become bitterly polarised in the US and increasingly also in the UK. Intolerant ideas are freely expressed in mainstream politics and people who were once thought extreme now lead populist parties with huge public support in democracies across the world. This multi-layered, often humorous and intensely moving solo play by award-winning actor-playwright Richard Vergette is a timely exploration of what drives populist politics and how they seduce the disillusioned and the disaffected.

Shakespeares stage didnt want her. So she made her own. Dont miss Unversed fierce, funny, and feminist theatre done right. Unversed... is the critically-acclaimed and Stratford commissioned solo-Shakespeare show taking theatres and historic homes by storm. Written and performed by Beckis Cooper and directed by the award -winning Rachel Fowler, this hour-long story has been described as utterly spell binding (Lamport Hall) and a superbly original and magical hour of Shakespeare; (Chawton House, 2024) In Unversed An eager young actor in the city of London has got her hands on a discarded copy of Shakespeares first folio. Newly printed and the hottest publication in town, all the plays exist together for the very first time. Theres only one problem: the parts are all too out of reach for women to play on the public stage. Come along and be part of the rehearsal as Antonia gives herself permission to speak the verse and explore the profession of being a woman - both onstage and off. Since being commissioned for the 400th anniversary of the first folio, the play premiered at Keats House in Hampstead to great reviews and has since travelled to Gordon Castle, The Stamford Arts Centre and continues its exciting journey to The Regal Theatre in Minehead and The Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. Praise for Unversed Marvellous concept with incredible characters a treat for any Shakespeare fan. Just been to Unversed: what a brilliant, passionate, intimate and thoughtful exploration of Shakespeares well versed ladies. From Desdemona to Lady Macbeth, I thought Beckis was utterly captivating. Brilliant! I loved every minute of it! What a joy it was tonight to hear Shakespeare acted so truthfully and with such beautiful expression. Superb acting and wonderfully interactive with the audience. An outstanding performance from an outstanding actor.
