Thespians
2026-05-09 19:30 - 2026-05-23 19:30 | Mercury Theatre Colchester, Mercury Theatre Colchester
THESPIANS – ANCIENT GREECE THE MUSICAL
MISCHIEF, 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).
534 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!
Step 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.
Written 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.
Limited 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!

Glenn Tilbrook // Colchester Arts
2026-05-12 19:30 - 22:30 | Colchester Arts Centre, Colchester Arts Centre
Glenn Tilbrook – The Voice of Squeeze + special guest Leon TilbrookGlenn Tilbrook – The Voice of SqueezeGlenn Tilbrook has more than earned his place at pop’s top table as one of our most cherished singers, guitarists and songwriters, not to mention an in-demand and endlessly endearing live performer. More than 40 years after first answering an ad placed by Chris Difford looking for like-minded souls to form the band that became the much-loved evergreen Squeeze, an ending remains nowhere in sight.
Such is the continuing work ethic of a musician who has never been far from the action since Squeeze made their recording bow with the Packet of Three EP in 1977. Those humble three tracks led to a catalogue of enduring pop classics—Take Me I’m Yours, Cool for Cats, Up the Junction, Another Nail in My Heart, Tempted, Labelled With Love, Black Coffee in Bed, Hourglass (this could indeed go on for a while…)—as well as landmark albums including Argybargy, East Side Story, Some Fantastic Place and Cradle to the Grave.
Following Squeeze’s demise in 1998 (a state of affairs that proved happily temporary), Glenn embarked on a parallel solo career that produced The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook (2001) and Transatlantic Ping-Pong (2004), albums that showcased an ever-maturing melodic and lyrical voice. In 2009 came the fizzing energy of Pandemonium Ensues, recorded with his touring band The Fluffers, while Happy Ending emerged as his most personal solo statement to date—an evocative set of songs about time, people and places, featuring contributions from his sons Leon and Wesley alongside long-time collaborators Simon Hanson and Dennis Greaves.
Over the past decade, Glenn’s creative momentum has only intensified. Alongside continued global touring with Squeeze, and recent work on two new Squeeze albums, he has firmly established himself as a tireless and much-loved solo performer, undertaking extensive headline tours across the UK and the United States. These shows—often built around his celebrated Songbook format—have seen Tilbrook playing theatres, clubs and festivals on both sides of the Atlantic, reimagining Squeeze classics, showcasing solo material and fielding spontaneous audience requests with trademark warmth and virtuosity.
The 2020s in particular have found Glenn criss-crossing America on multiple solo runs, winning over new audiences while deepening his connection with long-time fans, before returning to the UK for equally well-received tours that underline his status as a consummate live artist in his own right. Whether performing alone with an acoustic guitar or fronting a full band, his solo appearances have become a vital and ongoing strand of his musical life, existing in perfect counterpoint to Squeeze’s continued success as a major live draw.
Anyone who has witnessed Glenn on stage can attest to the sheer rightness of his doings. Armed with ready wit, raucous energy and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of grin-inducing great songs, there are few musicians able to connect with an audience so immediately and warmly. Whether fronting Squeeze, headlining festivals, or fielding impromptu requests that might veer from Jimi Hendrix to Tony Orlando & Dawn, Glenn Tilbrook remains—by any measure—one of British pop’s most vital and life-affirming performers.

The legendary and light-hearted musical comedy “No, No Nanette” runs at the Headgate Theatre in Colchester in May. Originally premiered in 1925, “No, No, Nanette” was the blockbuster musical of a century ago, full of romance, wacky comedy, singing and dancing all based around Vincent Youman’s tune-filled score which yielded the song that defined an era “Tea for Two”.

The large cast of 25 performers is a mix of familiar Platform faces and several newcomers to the Platform family. We are thrilled to welcome Hannah Ambrose in the title role, playing opposite Sam Carbonero as Tom,with Graham Bowden as Jimmy, Caroline Fritz as Sue, Gareth Gwyn Jones as Billy, Jayne Sheeran as Lucille and Kim Anderson as Pauline. Helen McCraw, Jade Tournay-Godfrey, and Naomi Carter are Flora, Betty and Winnie whose arrival at Jimmy’s seaside cottage, cause all the comic mis-understandings. Completing the cast are a fabulous ensemble consisting of: Joe Fusi, Adam Duarte Dias, Phil Ager, Ed Mehen, Elia Teatino, Koralia Salacuri, Chrissie James, Nikki McCarron, Barbara Ryan, Fiona Bocking, Dave and Dawn King, Sally Leung, John Davies and Lisa Pordham.

Legendary in the world of Gypsy Jazz, Robin Nolan is known as one of the most respected guitarists since Django Reinhardt. He’s headlined every major Django Fest across the globe taking in multiple awards and a loyal following of guitar lovers.
He’s graced the stages of Montreux, North Sea Jazz, the Royal Albert Hall and Jazz at Lincoln Center. George Harrison called him a favourite, Bill Wyman had him in his band, and Hank Marvin has frequently joined him live on stage.
His 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.
A 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.
Robin’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.
With George Harrison, Hank Marvin and Bill Wyman as his fans, Willie Nelson said it best “You play a mighty fine guitar Robin Nolan”.
George 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.”

Cara Dillon *
2026-05-15 19:30 - 22:30 | Church St, CO1 1NF Colchester, United Kingdom
Tickets £25.Doors open 7.30pm, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience.
Few voices linger in the soul like Cara Dillon’s. A towering figure in Irish music, she has earned global acclaim, including the Meteor Award for Best Irish Female and four BBC Folk Awards. For nearly 30 years, her voice—deceptively delicate yet emotionally devastating—has evoked something timeless and elemental. At her side is her husband and collaborator, Sam Lakeman, whose work as producer and musician has shaped her remarkable career. Their intimate live shows feature their now-classic renditions of “Black Is the Colour” and “The Parting Glass,” alongside pieces from Coming Home, her landmark 2024 release. From her teenage roots in Óige and De Dannan to chart-topping remixes, Disney soundtracks, and Derry Girls, Dillon continues to defy boundaries. As Mojo magazine once wrote, she possesses “quite possibly the world’s most beautiful female voice.” She continues to affirm that legacy—not simply as a singer, but as a storyteller of rare emotional depth; her voice, as always, lingers long after the last note fades.
