Her attempt to escape the modern world at a spa retreat in Northern Norway goes wrong until she finds herself drawn to an annoying but incredibly attractive outdoorsman called Henrik.

SUMMARY:Dre Spisto & Joana Nastari: 50 Ways to Kill a Slug
DESCRIPTION:Pay what you can affordDoors open 7:30 pm\, Show starts 8 pmThis show is for a seated audience \nIn a pristinely manicured garden\, amidst the bucolic borders\, lurk two shameful pests. These horny slimeballs just want to chomp\, chew\, spit\, live\, lust and die freely in an ever more hostile home. \n50 Ways To Kill A Slug is a multi-sensory celebration of slugs as the anarchic icon we’ve been waiting for: soft\, unruly and disgusting. \nAs slugs\, the artists explore the slowness\, silliness and sensuality needed to sustain their resistance across generations. \nJoana (Fuck You Pay Me\, My Uncle is Not Pablo Escobar) and Dre (El Dizzy Beast\, Butch Princesa) are award-winning theatre makers whose love for the slug as the ultimate underdog has brought them together to make this ecstatic exploration of radical rest\, toxic productivity and belonging. This show is nonverbal and we invite audiences who would benefit from watching shows without spoken language. \n“A fantastic gift for capturing the full sensory experience.” ★★★★ London City Nights on Joana Nastari“Euphoric.” ★★★★★ The Hive on Joana Nastari“So unique it takes the category box and smashes it into oblivion.” ★★★★ The List on Dre Spisto“Stunning.” ★★★★ The Scotsman on Dre Spisto \nCreators and Performers – Joana Nastari and Dre SpistoProducer – Stef FeltonOutside Eyes – Claud Palazzo and Ursula MartinezCreative Captioner – Ben GloverSound Designer – XANASet Designer – Malena ArcucciCostume Designer – lambdog1066Technical Stage Manager – Florian Lim \nSupported by Arts Council England\, Shape Arts and NDMAC.

SUMMARY:Lost Atoms
DESCRIPTION:Love’s strange\, isn’t it? You think you’re going to feel it in your chest\, or your gut. But I swear\, I can feel it in every cell.  \nJess and Robbie. A chance meeting\, some disastrous dates\, an extraordinary transformative love. It’s the stuff of fairy tales. Or is it? \nLost Atoms is a wild ride through a life-changing relationship\, or Jess and Robbie’s recollection of it. Together they scale the soaring highs and crushing lows\, relive the beats of connection\, the moments of loss.But are their stories the same? And can their memories be trusted? \nWritten by Anna Jordan (The Unreturning\, Yen and TV’s Succession and One Day)\, Lost Atoms is by turns funny and heartbreaking; a timeless story which explores how love shapes our lives and how we remember it. Two people plunge deep into their shared pasts and propel themselves into multiple futures\, risking it all. \nCome fall in love. \nFollowing sellout tours of Othello and Metamorphosis Frantic Assembly returns with a brand-new play for its 30th Anniversary. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/704548626031120/?event_time_id=704548646031118

SUMMARY:Author Event: John Lewis-Stempel Monday\, 3rd November 2025 6.30pm
DESCRIPTION:John Lewis-Stempel in conversation with Red Lion Books. John will be signing first edition hardback copies of Night Life \nAt night the senses become reordered. Hearing becomes privileged over vision\, and we edge forward arms outstretched\, feeling our way through the inky blackness. It is after dark that the human being becomes more ‘animal’\, more sensitive to Nature. But the lights of the modern world have obliterated any meaningful connection to the night. We have lost touch with its wonders as well as its terrors. In this enchanting follow-up to Nightwalking\, John Lewis-Stempel once again ventures out into the night to uncover the unseen world of nocturnal creatures. \nWhen the curtain of night falls\, a spectacle begins. That of bio-luminescence\, of boxing hares\, and wheat fields shimmering in the moonlight. In Night Life\, Lewis-Stempel wanders further afield\, to terrains new\, and shows us why the night is precious\, and what it is to be human in the dark. \nJOHN LEWIS-STEMPEL is a farmer and ‘Britain’s finest living nature writer’ (The Times). His books include the Sunday Times bestsellers Woodston\, The Running Hare and The Wood. He is the only person to have won the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing twice\, with Meadowland and Where Poppies Blow. In 2016\, he was named ‘Magazine Columnist of the Year’ for his column in Country Life. He farms cattle\, sheep\, pigs and poultry. Traditionally.

Healed.You may leave with a fuller heart\, a clearer mind\, or a deeper connection to yourself and the women around you. \nAs one sister beautifully said: \n“Let us support each other in sorrow\, and dance with each other in celebration.” \n🌙 Location: The Tree Room\, Colchester🌙 Time: 6.00pm – 7.30pm (First Monday of each month)🌙 Energy Exchange: £11 per person \n✨ Book here: https://dharmabelle.co.uk/womens-circle/🌙 Questions or need support to attend?
