SUMMARY:The Kings Speech - Barn Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A country on the precipice of another terrible war. An abdicated king. A constitutional crisis. And the only man who can provide hope for the nervous British public is Bertie – a man who is shy\, unprepared for monarchy and\, worst of all\, has a debilitating speech impediment. \nWith the future of the monarchy\, and Britain itself\, on the line\, an historic radio address looms over a man who can barely stammer through full sentences. Desperate\, Bertie and his family turn to an unconventional speech therapist from Australia to turn him into the king Britain can believe in. \nAs royal protocol meets unorthodox challenges\, what emerges is an unlikely but deeply meaningful friendship. Adapted from the Oscar-winning film\, this exciting new production from the acclaimed Barn Theatre blends humour\, heart and high stakes in a beloved drama about duty\, courage and finding one’s voice.

SUMMARY:The Kate Bush Song Book - Tobacco Factory Theatres
DESCRIPTION:Cloudbusting have been touring theatres and music venues across the UK and Europe since 2012\, exploring the intricacies and nuance of Kate’s stunning albums. Along the way\, many of those complex and at times powerful arrangements have demanded every ounce of musicality and virtuosity that the band could muster – but at more reflective moments\, the true essence of Kate’s imaginative concepts have come to life with simply the voice and piano \nIt’s these jewels of the song-writing craft that the ‘Song Book’ ensemble now performs – with Matthew Bowers at the piano and Dave Roberts on bass backing the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Mandy Watson. \nThe Song Book repertoire features stunning arrangements of some lesser-known tracks as well as many of the hits – including Wuthering Heights\, Babooshka\, Hounds of Love and Cloudbusting. But it’s perhaps the clarity of those piano-based tracks such as This Woman’s Work\, Moments of Pleasure and The Man with the Child in His Eyes that dazzle most with their sheer complexity and pure lyrical invention. \nMany of Kate’s original collaborators have been inspired to join Cloudbusting for stage performances – drummer Preston Heyman and dancer Stewart Avon Arnold\, as well as bass player Del Palmer\, who has also been an avid supporter of the ‘Song Book’ shows. \nWith material from across Kate’s 45 year career\, interspersed with personal reflections and insights to many of the songs from Mandy\, Matthew and Dave\, don’t miss your chance to join them for a magical evening in appreciation of ‘this woman’s work’.

SUMMARY:Single Use by Verity Mullan - The Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Verity Mullan brings her one-woman show Single Use to the Alma Tavern Theatre this October. \nElla is a karaoke-loving procrastinator with a taste for Deliveroo and casual white lies. When a strange delivery arrives on her doorstep she’s forced to make a decision: save the planet or save herself? \nThe show played to sold-out audiences at the Pleasance Theatre last year. The show is on tour next month kicking off in Bristol. \nSingle use is written and performed by Verity Mullan and directed by Emma Beth Jones. \nIt’s a thoughtful and hilarious one-woman comedy about climate guilt\, emotional avoidance\, bad first dates and plastic recycling. \n
