SUMMARY:Careless Talk - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Do you know who the only British person to be tried for treason in the Second World War was? \nNeither did we. \nBut\, here comes Careless Talk so you can find out all about Mabel Daley Bancroft. \nThis warm and funny show is written and performed by Ali Williams\, based on the novel Careless Talk by James Friel. \nWas Mabel a collaborator?  A visionary? Or just an outsider?  Was she the victim of a witch hunt? Or the victim of her own uncompromising nature? \nIt’s all high treason on Sandown Beach in this comedy drama\, completely based on a true story. \nCareless talk is frequently hilarious as well as moving\, with themes of the justice system\, who it protects and why? \n\n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Running With Scissors - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:An exploration of the weird\, wild and wonderful world of women surgeons will be coming to the Alma Tavern Theatre this autumn. \nRunning With Scissors is solo show written and performed by Ronnie Conboy. She’s a storyteller\, actor – and former orthopaedic surgeon who worked in the NHS for 35 years. \nThe show brings together her love of storytelling and performance with the career which she says shaped her life. \nRunning With Scissors will bring audiences lesser known true stories about women surgeons who made medical history. The brave ones\, the bold ones and the radical ones. \nAlong with personal reflections from contemporary surgery and plenty of dark humour\, there will be historical true stories. Expect tales of cross-dressers defying the law\, criminals and radical change-makers who went ahead and picked up a scalpel when society told them not to. \n It’s a celebration of the defiant spirit of the women who carved out a place in history. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Wider society\, and women surgeons themselves\, are led to believe that we are somehow an exception\, isolated in a world belonging to men\,” Ronnie Conboy says. \n“But there is a long and honourable tradition of women healers\, from our earliest beginnings to the present day. I want to reclaim that heritage\, to showcase our role models\, and share the stories of the fascinating\, courageous and frankly\, sometimes quite wild women who have shaped our history.” \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pup Play by Dr. Pants - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:With original punk music\, homonormative puppet\, multimedia visuals and erotic musical numbers comes Pup Play by Dr. Pants. \nProfessor Handler David presents a queer pseudo-lecture on the kink of pup play and how to put your puppy bitch boy into a submissive headspace. \nPup Play is an introspective\, sometimes somber and ultimately hopeful look into queer identity and fighting against homophobia. It demands that we all do more for the LGBT+ community to include all queer voices and be ‘unapologetically visible’. \nFeatured Image: Theatre Group GUMBO – Orlando Fringe \n

SUMMARY:Jacobs & Jones with Breadcrumbs - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Weston Super Mare company Bonnet Dog Theatre\, will be at the Alma Tavern Theatre this November with their show Jacobs & Jones with Breadcrumbs. \nThis isn’t just a Sketch Show… this is a Jacobs and Jones Sketch Show… with Breadcrumbs! \nGeorge Jacobs and Will Jones are in the back room. The scissor lift has sunk. The cellophane machine has eaten the forklift. And now there’s grease in their socks… It can only mean one thing. Sketches! \nIn a world of tinned laughter and processed jokes\, where art is unceremoniously plopped into cans and wrapped in microplastics\, Jacobs and Jones will fight against the system\, breaking free from the shackles of involuntary sponsorship and poor product placement. \nExperience the extraterrestrial magic of the ever-curious Gleebleebleebs. \nBeware the man at the bus stop before he does something awful\, like start talking. \nEnjoy a luxury 8-course menu comprised of unfortunate spelling errors. \nAnd much\, much more!
