Power Station - COLCHESTER - FIRST SITE
2026-01-29 20:00 - 23:00 | First Site Colchester Art Gallery, First Site Colchester Art Gallery
Power Station began in the depths of lockdown – and in the aftermath of our previous film Bank Job, where we purchased and blew up £1.2 million of local debt – with the question ‘’what could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power – of energy and imagination?’
Working to turn a street and local schools solar, Power Station is a scalable in-your-face prototype of community led power. Channelling Withnail and I and Ealing comedy the film charts the financial and emotional trials and tribulations of making change together.From sleeping on rooftops to growing thousands of sunflowers and attempts at Christmas number one, community spirit and resilience are at the heart of this documentary.
“I can’t recommend this film enough.You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll kickstart a community-led renewable energy revolution.
I will say, without any sense of exaggeration or hyperbole, that this is one of the most important films ever made. Everyone needs to see it.”
– Rob Hopkins, co-founder Transition Network

A Two Woman Hamlet
2026-01-29 19:30 - 20:30 | Lakeside Theatre, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, CO4 3SQ, GB
It’s Hamlet, but not as you know it. Two women (and a skull) take on 23 roles between them in 60 minutes, in a spectacularly fun and surprisingly moving theatrical event. This is an unpretentious adaptation, with joys in it for those familiar with Hamlet and those new to the story.
Following the critical success of the original production by Sherman and Friends at the Capitol Fringe (Washington, DC, 2018) and Edinburgh Fringe (2022), The Yorickans developed a fresh take on this irreverent adaptation for a sold-out run at Colchester’s Lakeside Theatre in March 2025.
The team then took the show on tour, performing at the Camden and Colchester Fringe Festivals and the Wickham Theatre in Bristol last year. The Yorickans are delighted to bring the show back to its home turf, now with the two original principal actors (Sharmila Peake and Deanna Strasse) switching over to the other track.
Fun, fast-paced and with a feminist heart, A Two Woman Hamlet is truly a different show with every performance!
Based on an original concept by Mara Sherman, Hannah Sweet and Nicola Collett.
