SUMMARY:Change (Or Lack Thereof)
DESCRIPTION:Same Sh*t. Different Time. \nAn MA Theatre Practice assessed performance by Jessica Ashley. \n“Remember\, ‘Yes’ is the answer. ‘Yes’ is good. ‘Yes’ is everything.” \nChange (Or Lack Thereof) is a fiery\, feminist\, dark comedy consisting of three short solo performances\, written and performed by MA Theatre Practice student Jess Ashley. \nMarilyn On The Moon follows Barbara\, a 1950s suburban housewife\, living in an abyss of homemade apple pie and white-picket fences. But Barbara has dreams… big dreams. She longs for more. Freedom\, independence\, and maybe\, her very own microwave. \nIn Kids Aren’t Just For Christmas\, a 20-year-old Uni student finds out she’s pregnant. Yikes. It can happen to anyone. And it does. She’s just lucky she still gets a choice. \nSet in a dystopian future\, Build-A-Baby explores a deteriorating world in which Humankind is critically endangered. In an attempt to save the future of Planet Earth\, the MUM programme trains droids to produce and release a brand-new species – Newmans. They’re like Humans… but better. \nChange (Or Lack Thereof) examines the past\, challenges the present\, and predicts the future. 1956. 2021. 2107. Tennessee. Essex. Anywhere. How much has really changed? \nFREE and everyone welcome\, though please do book your ticket in advance: https://lakesidetheatre.org.uk/events/change-or-lack-thereof/

SUMMARY:Wonderful Wednesdays - Victoria Melody and Mark Thomas present: Trouble\, Struggle\, Bubble and Squeak
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Melody and Mark Thomas present Trouble\, Struggle\, Bubble and Squeak \nPay what you can affordDoors open 7:30 pm\, Show starts 8 pmThis show is for a seated audience \nAward-winning theatre maker Victoria Melody joined a historical re-enactment society… because we all deal with divorce in different ways.! Spending weekends as a Musketeer trying to get her head straight\, she uncovered the story of a bunch of 17th century radicals called The Diggers and then everything changed. \nWhat started out as a personal search for happiness turned into a quest to find the Diggers of today. What she didn’t expect was that they’d be found far from the battlefield\, right on her doorstep. Back in modern – day Britain doing her day job\, she realised The Diggers never really left. They’re still here\, still fighting\, making change on their own terms. \nBy blending storytelling and stand-up\, past and present collide in this unexpected tale of high jinks. Alongside a community on the frontline Vic steps from re-enactment into reality\, where history isn’t just remembered — it’s made. \nDirected by Mark Thomas\, Trouble \, Struggle\, Bubble and Squeak celebrates the ordinary people shaping history – then and now. And\, like The Diggers\, they might leave behind something that will last… if they don’t get caught. \nVictoria Melody image copyright Matt Stronge
