Keats, Love and Myth Understandings – John Hegley @ Jacksons Lane
Oct 30 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

A selection of verses on the above topics, devised as an adult show, but tolerable to some 10 year olds. Verses concerning Keats’s relationships with vegetables and surgery. A long look at love, both on, and off the buses and musings on the old chestnut of Orpheus’s disruptive turn around. Deep and daft. Come and Sing.

then and now

Alison Guill, once full-time singer, now teacher, mother and part-time gin sipper, is accompanied by Martin Leberman in this somewhat eclectic, hopefully entertaining and slightly indulgent musical journey. Between Schumann and Sondheim, Mozart and Menken, Michael Head and Kander & Ebb, Alison will share anecdotes about auditions gone wrong, mistaken casting, toddlers and terriers. There is bound to be something for everyone so come and join us for a varied and enjoyable evening.

Proceeds will go to support Mind and Cancer Research UK.
