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:Living Spit Omlet: Prince of Henmark - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Living Spit will be at The Wardrobe Theatre this October with brand new show Omlet: Prince of Henmark. \nIt’s the story of Hamlet\, told by a variety of eggs and other foodstuffs puppeteered to camera and livestreamed. Not only was this founder member and RSC actor Stu McLoughlin’s first ever solo show\, it was the inaugural performance at the brand new theatre location for for Clevedon’s The Theatre Shop in Market Hall. \nThe show is playing at 13 different venues across the region until November 2026. \nThe Tragedy of Omlet Prince of Hen-mark\nBy Stu McLoughlin (and William Shakespeare) \n“O\, that this too too solid shell would melt\,\nThaw and resolve itself into a dew…” \nThe question of suitability to play the Moody Dane has preoccupied theatre makers for\ncenturies. Scholars have long debated age\, physique\, gender and temperament – yet all\nhave overlooked the perfect candidate: an egg. \nEnter Omlet\, Prince of Hen-mark; Hamlet rehatched; fragile\, brooding\, on the brink of\ncracking under the pressure of his own Egg-sistential angst and joined by a full supporting\ncast of vegetables and assorted foodstuffs –  fresh from the fridge and prepared to present\nShakespeare’s greatest tragedy as you’ve never seen it before; retold by one man\, one egg\nand a trolley full of comestibles. \nBut this is no ordinary one man show. With live original music\, perishable puppetry\, and an\noverly confident reliance on bad puns\, actor Stu Mcloughlin juggles an entire allotment of\nShakespearean tragedy whilst trying not to turn his leading man into a leading flan. \nOmlet\, Prince of Hen-mark is a sumptuous scramble of skillful soliloquising\, small-scale\nsuspense and sunny-side-up Shakespearean silliness. A cracking night out\, which proves\nonce and for all that… \n…something is rotten in the state of Hen-mark. \n
