Friday 23rd May 7.30pm The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists - Townsend Productions Neil Gore, presents a one-person version of the classic novel by Robert Tressell featuring projection, political conjuring tricks, live music and song. Meet the famous characters and enjoy the scenes, speeches and songs, featuring the Great Money Trick as its centrepiece. This enduring and absorbing classic story of a year in the life of a group of Edwardian painters and decorators is brought to life by Neil Gore using his extensive knowledge of the book and the play, having performed it in many versions over forty years. 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' follows a group of workers as they renovate The Cave, a three-storey town house, for Mayor Sweater. It traces their hardships and struggles for survival in a complacent and stagnating Edwardian England. These workers are the philanthropists who throw themselves into back-breaking work for poverty wages in order to generate profit for their masters. They are joined by artist Owen, whose spirited attacks on the dishonesty of Capitalism along with his Socialist vision, highlights the exploitation in their workplace but also focuses on the inequality in society as a whole. Neil brought his tribute to the Clarion movement Behold Ye Ramblers to the Heron last year and sold out the venue. His charm, storytelling and clever stage craft thrilled the audience. We are delighted that Neil has agreed to return to the Heron this year.

Switcheroo

Switcheroo

6 Jun 2025 - 13 Jun 2025

Presented by Clap Trap Theatre in association with York Theatre Royal and featuring Thomas Frere, Cal Stocksbridge and Dominic Goodwin. When it comes to scattering their mother’s ashes, three siblings are hit with a bombshell revelation that turns their world upside down. This remarkable play by BAFTA-nominated Tom Needham is based on the very simple premise that ‘it’s not what you say, it’s the way that you say it’.The first act is a full-blown, larger than life comedy. Then, after the interval, the actors swap characters and it’s repeated as a serious drama. The difference between the two acts is astonishing. How can the same story, performed by the same actors, saying the same words be so different? There is only one way to find out...
