The opening concert in our 2016-2017 season has a sombre feel, commemorating the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. Starting with The Banks of Green Willow by George Butterworth, who was killed in action on 5th August 1916, aged 31, this work is complemented by Ronald Corp’s The Somme – A Lament. The mood lifts with the choral arrangement of Serenade to Music by Butterworth’s contemporary, Vaughan Williams and the programme closes with Brahms’s glorious German Requiem.
Baby Circus is an awakening of curiosity and joy. Beginning gradually and softly, performers get acquainted with each infant as the audience arrives before moving to the performance space. As circus characters and acts are introduced, infants will be captivated and parents entertained. Developed by director Mette Ylikorva and appearing as part of Jacksons Lane’s Sirkus Finnish showcase. 11am and 1pm sessions are for those aged 0 to 1. 3pm performances for those aged 1 to 3.

This acclaimed Edinburgh sell-out production from Jacksons Lane’s Artistic Director Adrian Berry tells the story of a young David Bowie obsessive.
Martin is a boy with problems – an illness no-one understands and a head full of sound and vision. So when an unexpected gift arrives on his birthday, Martin embarks on a thrilling journey in the footsteps of his obsession, leading him to discover some long-hidden truths about himself. What follows will change his life forever…
Powerful and touching, music and magic realism collide in this darkly funny and moving solo production featuring Alex Walton and the voice of writer & comedian Rob Newman. With a blistering Bowie soundtrack, the life of the pop fan is dissected in this tale of unnatural teenage wildlife.
“Moving and touching, it blew me away. I cried my eyes out. You forget you’re in a theatre, and you can’t ask for much more than that” BBC London Live
