Completing the Trilogy begun with Genius 2.0 and The Work of the Devil, Have We Met? finds Simon standing, like Ulysses in Tennyson’s famous verse, gazing out over the moaning deep and the twinkling rocks and wondering whether to seek a newer world? To smite the sounding furrows? To strive, to seek, and to find? Or whether in fact, to put the kettle on, crack open the Hobnobs and simply yield? Drawing on Joyce, Proust and the career of Philip Schofield to make sense of his own tangled past and possible future, Evans skilfully weaves comedy, pathos and narrowly averted cancellation into an unforgettable two hours of unique entertainment.

By Giuseppe Verdi Created by Bath Opera Following spectacular success with Don Giovanni , Marriage of Figaro , Tosca and Barber of Seville , Bath Opera brings its award-winning small scale touring opera back to the Rondo Theatre with a highly innovative production of La Traviata , Verdis much-loved and probably saddest opera. Director John Clark says, I wanted to find a present-day setting that was plausible. The challenges were to find a setting where aristocratic family honour made it probable that a father would go to any lengths to stop his son marrying the woman he loves outside of the royal circle: and where the beloved was trapped in a hedonistic lifestyle from which the marriage was the only escape. We are therefore setting the opera in a grand casino in the middle east. The productions has an international cast headed by Cecilia Zhang from China, and John Haque from Sweden as the ill-starred lovers. See the full cast on www.bathopera.com.

Lucentio wants Bianca. Hortensio wants Bianca. Gremio wants Bianca. None of them can have her until Biancas brother Katherine - is married.

Enter the charmingly terrifying Petruchio, a woman who has never met a boundary she will not cross to tame a shrew.

John Harold Arnold Bramwell, to give him his full name, is perhaps best-known for his time as the songwriter and frontman of Manchester three-piece, I Am Kloot. However, he also possesses an enviable back catalogue as a solo artist and continues to work on new material under the guise of his latest band, John Bramwell & The Full Harmonic Convergence. Bramwell’s first studio output appeared in 1989, when he was performing and recording as Johnny Dangerously and entitled You Me & The Alarm Clock, an album The Guardian referred to as one of the ‘greatest albums you’ve never heard.’ Following a stint as a television presenter and as a member of the band, The Mouth, Bramwell formed I Am Kloot, with two members of The Mouth. They went on to record six studio albums, including the Mercury-Prize nominated album, Sky At Night. Since 2016, Bramwell has reverted to being a solo artist and tours continuously, around the UK and Europe. A home-recorded solo album, Leave Alone the Empty Spaces appeared in 2018 and the follow-up, a more expansive affair, with a working title of The Light Fantastic, is now scheduled for release in 2022.
