SUMMARY:Much Ado About Falstaff
DESCRIPTION:Much Ado About Falstaff is Stratford Theatre Company’s follow up to their recent successes with Old Herbaceous\, Three Men in a Boat and Dead on Cue.  This new play is about Sir John Falstaff…a rogue\, a philanderer and a glutton\, but also one of Shakespeare’s greatest and enduring comic creations. \n  \nIn this new comedy by Simon Downing we find Falstaff\, played by Giles Shenton (Old Herbaceous & Three Men in a Boat) in his bedroom in the Boars Head being nursed by Mistress Quickly\, played by Georgie Taylor. \n  \nThe creditors arrive demanding payment. Will Falstaff resort to marrying Mistress Quickly in order to pay off his debts? Will he turn teetotal? Will he mellow in his old age? Find out the answers to all these important questions that Shakespeare never bothered to answer and join Falstaff for an evening of jollity\, frivolity\, a definite lack of coequality and more Shakespearean insults than ever previously heard on a theatrical stage! \n  \n“Giles Shenton effortlessly embodies all that audiences have come to know and love of Sir John Falstaff. He commands the stage with epic\, rousing speech peppered with asides that win the audience within the opening moments. Much Ado About Falstaff is an evening of silliness that revels in its humour and wit\, be it bardic wordplay or fart jokes. “More Shakespearean insults than ever previously heard on a theatrical stage” is undoubtedly correct and these often find themselves met with the sharp clap of a slapstick. This latest show is a lot of good\, unclean fun and embodies the spirit of the Fat Knight himself. To be enjoyed by Shakespeare lovers and haters alike\, it is more than worthy of its place in the canon.” \nThe Brighton Source \n  \nhttps://bromsgrovearts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Much-Ado-About-Falstaff.mp4

SUMMARY:Former ELO 2 Star And Frontman Phil Bates Up Close And Personal
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an evening with former ELO 2 frontman Phil Bates. \n  \nThe show will see Phil play a mixture of material songs from his own repertoire.  He has released four critically acclaimed albums and one live album.  After he left ELO 2 he toured with the highly regarded Eleanor Rigby Experience; so expect some fabulous reworkings of his favourite Beatles Songs and of course the show wouldn’t be complete without him performing some of those ELO timeless classic hits which made them one of the biggest bands in the world. \n  \n  \nABOUT PHIL \n  \nIn 1993\, Phil Bates met up with old friend Kelly Groucutt\, who had been ELO bassist\, resulting in Bates joining ELO Part 2\, replacing Pete Haycock and Neil Lockwood. ELO Part 2 took the music of ELO around the world\, often playing with symphony orchestras in large venues around the globe. Extensive touring in Australia\, New Zealand\, Argentina\, Brazil\, Peru\, Chile\, US\, Canada\, Latvia\, Lithuania\, Russia\, Poland\, Czechoslovakia\, South Africa\, UK followed … until 1999\, when Bates quit to spend more time with his family\, and to study for a degree. \n  \nSolo work and recent career \n  \nAfter supporting his studies with all manner of gigs\, stints in call centres\, and a period as a bookseller in Hay-on-Wye\, Bates graduated from the University of Wales in 2003 with a History BA Hons. The solo albums ‘Naked’ and ‘Agony & Ecstasy’ were released in 1996 and 1998\, plus tours of the UK and Germany with Mik Kaminski. Two further solo albums\, Alter Ego (2003) and One Sky (2005) followed. All released on Bates’s own labels\, DPP\, and latterly Essential Music. A compilation CD Retrospectiv\, also on Essential\, was released in 2007. \n  \nAfter leaving ELO Part 2\, Bates became a member of the Eleanor Rigby Experience\, along with Andy Bole\, Maartin Allcock\, Clive Bunker and Tina McBain\, who released 2 CDs and toured extensively in the UK. A short stint with The Bev Bevan Band and “Bev Bevan’s Move” followed (2003/2005)\, along with the formation in the same year of German-based band\, ELB (Electric Light Band). In 2007\, Bates rejoined his old mates from ELO Part 2 in The Orchestra (featuring members of ELO and Part 2). \n  \nIn 2008\, Bates formed the Beatles\, Blues and Blue Violin project (BBBV) with Mik Kaminski and Tina McBain\, resulting in a tour\, and the 2010 BBBV album. \n  \nIn 2022 and 2023\, Bates is still gigging extensively with his “Tribute to ELO” throughout Europe as “Phil Bates and Band”. He has often appeared live on German\, Swiss and Polish TV playing ELO songs. \n  \nTickets \nAdvance:             £15.00 \nDoor:                    £18.00 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Weeping Bank Library
DESCRIPTION:“a masterclass in the art of the modern ghost story” Bronte Schiltz\, writer/journalist\n  \nThe Librarian of Weeping Bank returns to Fairfield Village Hall to read another chilling tale from his private collection. \n  \n‘Pock‘\n  \n“We all knew the legend\, if you carved your name in the sandstone of the cave and left a gift\, Pock would grant you a wish.”\n“And what was the catch?”\n“Catch?”\n“There’s always a catch in a fairytale.” \n  \nWeeping Bank feels like the kind of village that doesn’t want to be found. \nAnd with good reason. \nThis seemingly quaint little place in the countryside has an unnervingly long history of ghost stories\, and other tales of witchcraft\, possession and devilry. \nTales that most residents would like to ignore\, but have instead been meticulously researched\, and mercilessly read\, in libraries and village halls across England by the village’s own Librarian. \nWelcome to Weeping Bank… \n  \nWarning – The Librarian’s readings contain moments of heightened tension. The reading is unsuitable for anyone under the age of 15 or of a nervous disposition. \n  \nRead in the style of M.R.James\, and enhanced by period props\, low light\, candles & subtle sound effects\, the author\, Alan Smith\, creates an intimate & unique experience for you the audience. \n  \nAlan’s writing and reading of ghost stories began as something the author would share with his family at Christmas\, but soon turned into a small performance at his local library and eventually expanding into performances at other venues; keeping more people on the edge of their seats. \n  \nThe concept of Weeping Bank Library as a repository of cautionary\, chilling tales collected from the ‘local’ area soon developed with the author taking on the role of ‘The Librarian’ and remaining in character throughout the readings. \n  \nAs readings became more frequent and audiences grew larger\, it became clear that not only was there a demand for these intimate storytelling events\, but that it drew a varied audience\, young and old\, male and female\, couples\, avid readers and even fans of classic horror films. \n  \nReviews from audience members\, including bestselling authors: \n  \n“I came\, I saw\, I jumped out of my seat\,’ bestselling author Robin Jarvis \n  \n‘Supremely creepy. The Librarian’s tales will haunt you\,’ bestselling author Miranda Dickinson \n  \n‘He never fails to deliver a chilling\, imaginative story that grips our audiences\,’ South Staffs and Cannock Library Development Manager \n  \n“Wonderful storytelling!” \n  \n“That was wonderfully evocative. Great tales\, with a genuinely chilling atmosphere.” \n  \n“Another spellbinding performance of perfect ghost stories.” \n  \n“It really captured the imagination and sent a chill down the spine.” \n  \n“without doubt\, the highlight of my Christmas. You have managed to capture perfectly the atmosphere of the great ghost story writers of yesteryear.” \n  \n“It really was a superb\, memorable evening.”  \n  \n“M R Jamesian in style but does a much better job at being both innovative and fresh than anyone else in the genre.” \n  \nTo learn more about The Librarian\, his dark tales and the village of Weeping Bank\, head over to www.weepingbank.com
