SUMMARY:Thespians
DESCRIPTION:THESPIANS – ANCIENT GREECE THE MUSICAL \nMISCHIEF\, the team behind the multi award-winning The Play That Goes Wrong\, rewrite ancient history with a brand-new musical comedy\, THESPIANS\, the first musical created by ‘the funniest theatre troupe in Britain’ (The Telegraph). \n534 BC. Greece’s smallest island is battling to avoid defeat in a nationwide prayer competition set up by a thin-skinned tyrant – where the loser is put to death. All is going dreadfully until Thespis accidentally invents acting\, leading to the world’s first play and the origins of theatre as we know it! \nStep into the amphitheatre\, leave your troubles in the foyer\, and escape into Ancient Greece as it bursts into song\, with a thrilling plot\, a love story worthy of Aphrodite\, and enough laughter to fill the Acropolis. THESPIANS is an uplifting\, hilarious\, and timely reminder of the power of empathy and stepping into someone else’s sandals. \nWritten by Jonathan Sayer (co-writer of The Play That Goes Wrong\, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery) and Ed Zanders (musical director Mischief Movie Night)\, do not miss this ancient prescription for modern day laughter packed with comedy\, chaos and choreography that will have every mortal in your household aching with laughter. \nLimited tour from May 2026 for only 12 weeks opening at Mercury Theatre\, Colchester. If you thought something funny happened on the way to the forum\, wait until you hear what happened enroute to the amphitheatre! \nAvoid tragedy\, get comedy tickets today!

SUMMARY:Robin Nolan: For The Love of George
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £22.Doors open 7.30pm\, start 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nLegendary in the world of Gypsy Jazz\, Robin Nolan is known as one of the most respected guitarists since Django Reinhardt.

George Harrison called him a favourite\, Bill Wyman had him in his band\, and Hank Marvin has frequently joined him live on stage. \nHis 2025 critically acclaimed release “For The Love Of George” (Dark Horse / BMG) is a collection of George Harrison and Beatles songs reinterpreted in Robin’s unique way. \nA real magic can be heard on the recording helped by the fact Robin uses some of George’s most iconic guitars on the album recorded at Harrison’s studio in Friar Park. \nRobin’s 2025 live show brings all of this together\, if you love The Beatles\, Harrison\, Reinhardt or Nolan\, you don’t want to miss this show. \nWith George Harrison\, Hank Marvin and Bill Wyman as his fans\, Willie Nelson said it best “You play a mighty fine guitar Robin Nolan”. \nGeorge Harrison “In these days of Cacophony it’s great to hear some proper music!”Bill Wyman “Robin Nolan is so amazingly good!”Vintage Guitar “Robin is an exceptional improviser… If you like gypsy jazz and you haven’t heard The Robin Nolan Trio\, you should.”
