Meet the Crime Writers @ Lauderdale House
May 10 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Join crime writer, reviewer and former editor of the Ham & High Matthew Lewin as he chats to fellow writers Alison Joseph, John Harvey and Glenn Chandler about where they get their ideas, what inspires them, how they solve their mysteries and whether writing for the stage and TV differ to books.  We promise a stimulating and ‘revealing’ evening of fascinating conversation.

Mark Thomas: Red Shed (work in progress) @ Jacksons Lane

Mark Thomas: Red Shed (work in progress) @ Jacksons Lane

Red Shed is the third part in a trilogy that started with the multi award winning shows Bravo Figaro and Cuckooed.

Mark returns to the place where he first started to perform in public, a red wooden shed in Wakefield, the Labour Club, to celebrate the club’s 50th birthday.

Interviewing old friends and comrades Mark pieces together the club’s history and works with the club to campaign with some of the poorest workers in the country for their rights.

It is the story of the battle for hope and the survival of a community in a small wooden shed.

It is part theatre, part stand up, part journalism, part activism and returns to Mark’s obsessions of community and struggle.

The show will involve the audience (in a nice way) to help recreate the shed and its inhabitants.
