Saddle up for a rootin’-tootin’ musical adventure in the Wild West! In the rowdy gold-mining town of Deadwood, no one’s tougher, wilder or more fearless than Calamity Jane-except maybe the sharp-shooting Wild Bill Hickok. When a hilarious mix-up threatens the reputation of the local saloon-theatre, Calamity takes matters into her own hands. Off she rides to Chicago, determined to bring back the glamorous stage star Adelaide Adams to wow the crowds of Deadwood. But in true Calamity style, things don’t go quite to plan... Instead of Adelaide, she unknowingly returns with the star’s timid maid, Katie Brown. When the truth comes out, Calamity must convince the sceptical townsfolk to give Katie a shot on stage. Against all odds, Katie blossoms-and captures the attention of every man in town, including Lt. Danny Gilmartin, the very man Calamity secretly loves. As Katie helps Calamity discover her softer side, the rough-and-ready frontierswoman undergoes a dazzling transformation at the Fort ball. But when she realises that Danny’s heart belongs to Katie, Calamity has a revelation of her own, perhaps her true match is the one man who’s been challenging her all along: Wild Bill.

The Harrogate Dramatic Society presents The Dresser, by Ronald Harwood Set in a small English regional theatre during the Blitz, The Dresser explores the relationship between two men who are reluctantly and inevitably co-dependent. Sir, the last of a dying breed of Shakespearean actors, is struggling to take to the stage to deliver his renowned portrayal of King Lear. Or is it Othello? His failing health, wavering confidence and erratic behaviour threaten tonight’s performance and the company’s future. It falls to Norman, his faithful dresser, to keep both the show and its star from falling apart. Both wickedly funny and deeply moving, this is a beautifully observed portrait of a shabby backstage ego at odds with the glamour and greatness of his presence on stage; and the man who sacrifices his own life to keep him going. This amateur production of The Dresser, by Ronald Harwood is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

Harrogate Dramatic Society presents INK, by James Graham It’s 1969 London and Rupert Murdoch wants to take on the British establishment. He buys the failing Sun newspaper and with his disaffected but brilliant and ruthless editor Larry Lamb, plans to make a new kind of paper, one that gives people what they want - one that will knock the Daily Mirror off its perch. Seriously under-resourced, with just a small disparate band of hacks and against all the odds The Sun rapidly becomes Britain’s best selling newspaper. But giving the people what they want comes at a cost. As Murdoch tells his editor “I want something loud” and that’s just what we get. Fast paced and funny, INK is the foundation story of the modern Sun newspaper, written by our foremost ‘state of the nation’ playwright and screen writer James Graham (This House, Dear England, Sherwood, Quiz, Brexit: The Uncivil War). Originally produced on Broadway by the Manhattan Theatre Club, Lynne Meadow, Artistic Director, Barry Gove, Executive Director, Denise Wood, Executive Director and Sonia Friedman Productions with funds provided by The Roy Cockrum Foundation on April 24, 2019. INK was originally commissioned by the Almeida Theatre and first presented at the Almeida Theatre, London on 27 June 2017. It then transferred to the Duke of York’s Theatre in the West End of London, where it was produced by Sonia Friedman Productions and the Almeida Theatre. This amateur production of INK is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

Harrogate Dramatic Society presents Jerusalem, by Jez Butterworth Widely acclaimed as one of the best plays of the 21st century. This rich, rollicking, lyrical play, set on St George’s Day in a Wiltshire wood tells the story of Johnny Byron, a local waster, who is about to be evicted from his caravan. There are allusions to Jerusalem by William Blake, the mythology of ancient Albion, the giants who ruled here before humans and built Stonehenge, and the lengths people will go to when playing Trivial Pursuit. The play is funny, vivid and complex, drawing high praise when performed around the world. It looks at what we want from our countryside. Should everything be regulated? Is there no place for revels? Anarchy? Johnny “Rooster” Byron was originally played by Mark Rylance in what was considered one of the greatest performances in recent theatrical history. Byron is part Falstaff, part pied piper; a storyteller, wordsmith of Shakespearean level and general thorn in the side of the locals living in the nearby housing estate. The council want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants to be taken to the country fair, a stepfather wants to give him a serious kicking and a motley crew of “friends” wants his ample supply of drugs and alcohol. The play contains strong language and drug references and is unsuitable for children. Circle Awards and the 2010 Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award for Best Play. Rylance won the 2010 Olivier and 2009 Evening Standard and London Critics’ Circle Best Actor Awards for his performance. This amateur production of Jerusalem,by Jez Butterworth is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.

Neil Brand invites you to celebrate the centenary of Laurel & Hardy with a brand-new show. In 1926, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy signed separate contracts with Hollywood film mogul Hal Roach, and appeared for the first time in a film together, 45 Minutes from Hollywood. The following year they would become an official comedy partnership that would set the whole world rocking with laughter. Nobody could have anticipated at the time how this unlikely Anglo/American comedy duo would become global icons in over 130 countries around the world. We are pleased to announce and celebrate those 100 years with the brand new production of Neil Brand’s Evening with Laurel & Hardy 2026 Centenary Tour. Neil has established himself as the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment. Thanks to new restorations of their silent films, and the rediscovery of some of their lesser-known comedies, Neil will uncover gems of hilarity from the team whose comedy never ages, and bring them to jaw-dropping life with the demanding live piano improvisations for which he is so famous. Featuring extended scenes from the best of their silent comedies, particularly You’re Darn Tootin’, The Finishing Touch and The Second Hundred Years. Neil’s concerts have proved really popular with his personal contact with the audience and his unique insight into Laurel & Hardy and the birth of the cinema industry. His engaging easy-going style, along with his Q&A at the end of the show answering all the questions from the audience, followed by his after-show meet and greet, makes for a highly entertaining evening. Currently working on a television documentary and a new book about ‘The Boys’, Neil is once again looking forward to sharing his knowledge and expertise with audiences around the country, and celebrating the life and times of comedy legends, Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy.

A fascinating and humorous evening, acclaimed by both regular theatre patrons and outdoor enthusiasts alike! On the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985, mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in a desperately unenviable position. He was slowly being pulled off the mountain face by his injured partner, Joe Simpson, dangling on the rope 50 metres below. His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in the epic of survival that followed. With the publication of the book Touching The Void, and later the film and stage play, both climbers became household names. It was an experience that could have put many off the sport of mountaineering - but not Simon. Over 35 years later, he is still a very active exploratory climber and guide, making several expeditions to the mountains each year. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, Alaska to Central Asia there is hardly a significant range that he has not visited. Come along and witness Simon’s tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet and share with him the drama, excitement and beauty of modern, lightweight alpinism. Told with wit, dry humour and lavishly illustrated with images and film collected on his great climbs.
