Canal Boat Stories - Live

Come and enjoy this fun and interactive theatre show of canal themed escapism with Robbie; a vlogger, streamer, recording artist and TV personality who is known all over the north, midlands and south of England as “the Canal Man”.

An intimate experience for fans of canals, alternative

living and storytelling.

When two members of Clevedon-based comedy theatre company, Living Spit, are overheard bragging about how good they are, Zeus, enraged by their hubris, decides to teach them a lesson. His punishment? A Herculean challenge: to squeeze twentyof the greatest Ancient Greek myths into one chaotic, side-splitting show!

Join Living Spit as they tackle everything from Hades to Heracles, Midas to Medusa, with their trademark blend of hare-brained humour, questionable wigs and a total disregard for historical accuracy. Can they conquer the labyrinth of legends before time runs out? Or will the gods have the last laugh? Prepare for a mythological marathon-Living Spit style!

Warning: May contain togas, ridiculous puns and possibly an overworked Trojan Horse.

Julius Caesar

By Tangle with support from Mayflower Studios

“It must be by his death…”

Julius Caesar has become a tyrant.

A conspiracy is launched against him by some of his closest friends. When Cassius and Brutus murder Caesar in full public view on the Ides of March, they think they have heralded a new political age. Instead, chaos erupts, and civil war begins. Who will seize power? Will this bring conflict or stability? Will the new ruler also fall to corruption?

Tangle’s fast-moving production drives through the political chaos, power struggles and friendship betrayals at the heart of Shakespeare’s greatest thriller.

Adapted and directed by Anna Coombs with John Pfumojena’s original music performed live on stage, this high-energy production brings African-inspired storytelling into the heart of ancient Rome.

TOM ROBINSON with Adam Phillips THEN & NOW

50 YEARS OF ADVENTURES IN THE RECORD INDUSTRY

1975-2025

Tom Robinson presents an evening of songs and stories from fifty years wandering the wilder shores of the Record Industry. Classic hits such as War Baby, Up Against The Wall, and 2-4-6-8 Motorway rub shoulders with a Radio 1 ban for being Glad To be Gay, rocking against racism with The Clash, writing songs with Elton John, headlining Glasto with Peter Gabriel, drug smuggling in East Germany, two nervous breakdowns and a year in tabloid hell after falling in love with a woman. Plus fan favourites from his vast back catalogue, spanning Café Society in 1975 to his acclaimed 2015 comeback album Only The Now.

TOM ROBINSON BIOG

Tom Robinson's first record release was in 1975 as one-third of Café Society: an acoustic harmony trio discovered by Ray Davies at The Troubadour folk club in London's Earls Court. The album sold just 500 copies.

After seeing an early Sex Pistols gig at The 100 Club, Tom made a rapid change of direction and formed the Tom Robinson Band with rock guitarist Danny Kustow. TRB were early supporters of Rock Against Racism and soon enjoyed Top 5 success with their debut single for EMI: 2-4-6-8 Motorway. Brief notoriety followed in early 1978 with the LGBT anthem Glad To Be Gay, and a few months later the band's first album Power In The Darkness entered the charts at No.4.

Over the last 50 years Tom's been mentored by Alexis Korner and Martin Carthy, written songs with Elton John and Peter Gabriel, toured with The Police, Red Wedge and The Undertones, and Rocked Against Racism for a crowd of 80,000 - alongside The Clash, Steel Pulse and X-Ray Spex.

He's been banned by Radio One, exiled in East Berlin, and hounded by the tabloids for being in love with a woman. More recently he's given over ten thousand artists their first national airplay on his BBC Introducing shows for 6 Music and served for ten years on the Ivor Novello Awards committee. At age 75 Tom still enjoys a reputation among his punk contemporaries - and in the world of acoustic/roots music - as both a master songsmith and a funny, ferocious live performer.

Ha Hum Ah Productions: Making a Killing

1590, Nuremberg. Europe teeters on the edge of modernity but, in the shadow of the gallows, executioner Frantz Schmidt has more immediate concerns. Torturer, hangman and—most unusually—a meticulous diarist, Frantz wrestles with a family curse that haunts his every step. When a brash new assistant arrives, tensions ignite and the stage is set for a clash that could tear their brutal world apart.

Inspired by the notorious diary of Frantz Schmidt, Making a Killing plunges into a gritty world of power, betrayal and ambition. With its stark echoes of today, this gripping tale lays bare the dark truths of human nature in a society on the brink of change.
