Based on the 2010 film of the same name, the story of Made in Dagenham is centred around the true-life events of the Ford sewing machinists strike of 1968. It follows Rita O’Grady, a working class machinist and mother who strives for equality and an end to discrimination in the workplace. The actions of the Ford employees brought about huge positive change in the UK as the Equal Pay Act 1970 was introduced as a result of their bravery in challenging unfair practices. The play is a historically important and uplifting story told with music, dancing and vigour. 

Performed by the London based award winning ‘Impact Theatre Company’ with its Stellar Cast , this is one glorious show not to missed.

This is a fascinating documentary from British film-maker Louis Myles about someone who, in the 1980s and 90s, became a legend in the world of Brazilian football. Someone whose pure outrageousness was hiding in plain sight. His rackety career tells you a lot about human nature and people’s willingness to be fooled; about a media that saw its job simply as cheerleading; and about the nature of celebrity.

Aneurin Bevan and Jennie Lee were comrades and flatmates who together fought and preached for socialism as they saw it; he the Tredegar firebrand on the Labour back benches, she the miner’s daughter from Fife who became a Socialist MP before she was old enough to vote.  

Then they were married; he deeply in love with her; she on the rebound from a tragic love affair. Both of them were loved and loathed by their fellow MP’s; he the Bollinger Bolshevik; she his Lady Macbeth, the dark angel at his shoulder. Life together unfolded through the desolate war years, the trials of founding the NHS, and the vicious internal feuds of the 1950’s. But as it did so their love deepened and matured.

This is the story of a partnership that became one of the outstanding political marriages of the twentieth century.

Speaking about the dates, founder J. Willgoose, Esq. said: “We're really looking forward to finishing our Every Valley album run with what promises to be a special set of shows. It's great to be saying a final thanks to Wales, and the Valleys in particular, for all the support and encouragement we've received since starting to research, write, record and then launch the album in Wales, and then to land up in the Royal Albert Hall a few days later seems like the best possible way to finish things off.”

A stylish, witty talk, with audio tracks and rare footage, from the author of Song & Dance Man III and The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, definitive studies of Dylan’s work. Michael explores the Minnesota Bard's interaction with literature, and with the poetry of the blues.

His books may be immense but there’s nothing dry about Michael’s talks. He has appeared at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and at Dylan Conferences at Minnesota, Vienna and Bristol Universities. His Canterbury Arts Festival event was the best-attended that year; at the New School, NYC, the room was overflowing for his talk, as were the halls in Galway, Ireland, and the University of Texas.


Michael Gray’s events are lively, spontaneous and acute, giving a thoroughly entertaining, fresh account of Dylan’s achievement.

Derwen (An Oak Tree) by Tim Crouch

A man loses his daughter to a car. It’s like he’s in a play - but he doesn’t know the words or the moves. The man who was driving the car is a stage hypnotist. Since the accident, his act’s a disaster, he’s lost the power of suggestion. Tonight, for the first time since the accident, these two people meet when the Father volunteers for the Hypnotist’s act.

Two actors. One plays the hypnotist every time, and the other, the Father, is a different actor each night - who knows nothing about the play.

A chance to see this award-winning play by one of Britain’s prominent theatre makers, Tim Crouch, in a Welsh translation by Invertigo Theatre Company (Y Tŵr, My Body Welsh). Derwen (An OakTree) is a breath-taking exploration of grief, forgiveness, and the power of suggestion, which has thrilled audiences across the world. It contains adazzling balance of gripping story, rich theatricality and shocking humour.

SUN RECORDS: Where Rock'n'Roll Was Born - the Official Sun Records Concert Show

The legendary record label that brought you Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Rufus Thomas and scores more rockin' pioneers, comes to life, live on stage.

Re-visit the blessed recording studio where the distinctive sound we know and love today was crafted from gospel, blues, hill billy, country, boogie and western swing by musical visionary Sam Phillips.

His trailblazing Memphis studio brought us That's Alright Mama, Great Balls of Fire, I Walk the Line, Whole Lotta Shakin', Bear Cat, Blue Suede Shoes, Good Rockin’ Tonight. . . hundreds of hits that would influence the world of music for generations to come.

Sam Phillips was a patient, honest man and a perpetual optimist. In 1954 he combined a modest 19-year-old Elvis Presley with musicians Scotty Moore, Bill Black and then DJ Fontana to create music that infused country and r'n'b.

It transcended musical and racial barriers. The ‘Sun Sound’ was born.

Rehearsed in an exact replica of the Sun Studios, featuring the musical instruments of the era, starring a multi-talented cast of singers and a supporting cast of amazing musicians, the sound of Sun is brought to life live on stage in the official concert show that takes you back to the birth place of rock'n'roll.

On the eve of the Irish Open championship, we meet Annie, a 16 year old Dubliner, as she charts us through the various successes and disappointments of her Irish Dancing life. We share her mind numbing commitment and burning desire to win the Irish Open title. Will she win and, if so, in what way?

From the confines of every parochial hall in Ireland, Irish Dancing champions are churned out at a massive rate. Medals and cups build up in drawing rooms and Riverdance swells a national pride, but the public aren’t privy to the blood, sweat and tears that pave the way to the first place podium.

The Humours Of Bandon is a coming of age story, full of heart, humour and wisdom, for anyone who had a childhood passion that threatened to overwhelm their life.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just intime for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

Sleeping Beauty contains flashing lights, loud music, loud bangs, strobe lighting, water and smoke.

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens Christmas tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets -- Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle -- weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases -- past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.

The Comedy Club 4 Kids gets the best stand-ups and sketch acts from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits!
 
The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it's just like a normal comedy club, but it's on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob.
 

"A highlight for children in recent years, giving them a taste of some of the biggest names in comedy... with the fun, rowdy feel of a real comedy club" – The Guardian

"Absolutely hilarious." - The Yorkshire Times
 

"The perfect way to entertain the whole family." -Three Weeks
