SUMMARY:The Crazy World of Arthur Brown + Valhallans
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £26.50.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a standing audience. \nArthur Brown is synonymous with his 1968 hit “Fire” and the Hammond-driven “Crazy World” line-up which spawned it. However\, his ‘God of Hellfire’ burned out fast and\, in 1970\, he returned with a new project: the prog-festival freak-show Kingdom Come followed by a varied solo career. Those initial four band albums\, by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and by Kingdom Come are thrilling\, as tend to be Brown’s cameos on other peoples’ projects. \nBest known for his flamboyant theatrical performances and his powerful\, wide- ranging operatic voice. He has been a major influence on a wide range of musicians due to his outstanding vocal ability and wild stage persona and concepts. He is considered a pioneer of shock rock and progressive rock and influential on heavy metal music. \nHe associated with Jimi Hendrix\, The Who\, Frank Zappa\, Hawkwind\, Klaus Schultze and Alice Cooper and made a cameo appearance in the cult film “The Committee” and also “Tommy”. His countless collaborations include The Alan Parsons Project\, The Stranglers and The Prodigy. \n His best-known single “Fire” hit number 1 in the UK singles chart and Canada\, and a number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album “The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown” had top ten success on both sides of the Atlantic. Following “Fire”\, the press would often refer to Brown as “The God of Hellfire”\, in reference to the opening shouted line of the song. \nArthur shows no signs of stopping or slowing down and continues to record and release hugely inspiring music\, including his most recent release “Long\, Long Road” (2022) and the launch of his new multi-media show “A Human Perspective”. \nhttps://www.thegodofhellfire.com/ \nSupport from Valhallans – Colchester’s very own purveyors of improvised Space Swamp (apparently). No idea what Space Swamp is? Here’s a link:  \nhttps://valhallans.bandcamp.com/

SUMMARY:The Talented Mr Ripley
DESCRIPTION:“I never wanted to murder anyone. It was necessary.” \nStep into a world of deception\, desire\, and deadly ambition. How far would you go to become someone else? \nTom Ripley is a nobody—scraping by in New York\, forging signatures\, telling little white lies—until a chance encounter changes everything. When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son\, Dickie Greenleaf\, Tom leaps at the opportunity. \nBut in the sun-drenched glamour of 1950s Italy\, surrounded by shimmering waters and whispered secrets\, Tom is seduced by the life Dickie leads—the freedom\, the wealth\, the effortless charm. Fascination turns to obsession\, and as his grip tightens on Dickie’s world\, the lines between truth and deception begin to blur. What starts as an innocent opportunity spirals into a chilling game of lies\, identity theft\, and murder. \nThe ten-strong ensemble cast is led by Ed McVey as Tom Ripley. Ed was one of the stars of the hit Netflix show The Crown. EastEnders regular and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Maisie Smith will star alongside him as Marge. This electrifying new stage adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley brings Patricia Highsmith’s iconic psychological thriller\, which inspired the acclaimed movie and Netflix series of the same name\, to life like never before. With razor-sharp dialogue\, simmering tension\, and a dangerously charismatic antihero\, this gripping production will pull you into Ripley’s intoxicating world—where nothing is quite as it seems.
