SUMMARY:Professor David Olusoga: A Global History Of The British Cup Of Tea
DESCRIPTION:There is nothing more British than a cup of tea. \nTea is our national drink; our national obsession. Yet the history of tea is the ultimate global story. It links over 350 years of British history to the histories of China\, India\, the Americas and beyond. It encompasses the Boston Tea Party\, the Opium Wars\, the history of the British East India Company\, and more – it is a story that involves industrial espionage\, a vast forgotten migration within India\, and the creation in Britain of a whole new world of domestic traditions. \nIn this brand-new talk\, David Olusoga uses art\, photography and humour to uncover the strange\, unexpected\, and intriguing history of our national drink. \nBAFTA-winning David has risen to renown in recent years\, becoming prolific and highly respected in multiple spaces. He has twice interviewed US President Barack Obama\, reached the finals of the BBC hit TV series Celebrity Traitors\, and has enjoyed success on BBC2 with his 3-part series Empire. A fresh instalment of his much-anticipated series House Through Time is now running on BBC2. \nHe is of course also the author/co-author of eight books\, including Black & British: A Forgotten History\, awarded both the Longman-History Today Trustees Award and the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize. \nA Q&A session will follow this talk\, as will a book signing – offering you a chance to meet one of the UK’s foremost public historians. \nDon’t miss your opportunity to see David present this fascinating topic as only such an accomplished researcher and master storyteller can.

SUMMARY:Beyond Evil: A True Crime Survival Guide with Emma Kenny
DESCRIPTION:Join one of the UK’s leading psychologists\, best-selling author and trusted crime commentator\, Emma Kenny\, for her gripping new live show\, Beyond Evil – a powerful and thought-provoking journey into the minds of predators\, the crimes that shock us\, and the warning signs we too often miss. \nDrawing on real criminal cases\, behavioural psychology and years of investigative analysis\, Emma reveals how killers\, coercive controllers\, groomers and manipulators identify\, target and control their victims. This isn’t about glorifying offenders; it’s about understanding the patterns of behaviour that can help keep us safe. \nExploring everything from coercive control and stalking to online grooming\, domestic homicide\, stranger attacks and the misconceptions that leave people vulnerable\, Beyond Evil is an unforgettable evening of true crime with a purpose. \nCombining compelling storytelling with practical insight\, Emma equips audiences with the knowledge to recognise red flags\, challenge dangerous myths and better protect themselves\, their families and the people they love. \nPowerful\, emotional and ultimately empowering\, Beyond Evil is more than a true crime show—it’s a survival guide for the modern world. \nBecause recognising danger isn’t paranoia. It’s power. \nBlending compelling storytelling\, psychological insight and real-life case studies\, Beyond Evil will leave audiences seeing the world through a different lens. Whether you’re a lifelong true crime fan or simply fascinated by human behaviour\, this is an unforgettable evening that will inform\, challenge and stay with you long after the curtain falls.

SUMMARY:Tom Allen: Totally
DESCRIPTION:Tom is totalling up what life is all about. He’s been told to live in the moment\, but gets distracted by old women on the bus listening to music without earphones. Annoying influencers show him what his house is supposed to look like\, but his kitchen has just flooded and the plumber wants to fit a ‘fanny trap’? He knows he should be enjoying things but he still feels like he doesn’t quite fit in\, and that he may have been getting life\, just ever so slightly… wrong? \nCo-host of ITV’s Cooking with the Stars and the Like Minded Friends podcast\, and host of everyone’s favourite gardening visualised podcast\, Pottering. You might have seen Tom on the likes of The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice\, Last One Laughing: Halloween Special\, Apprentice You’re Fired\, Cats Does Countdown\, Live at the Apollo\, 8 Out of 10 Cats\, Would I Lie To You? and QI. As well as starring in the hit musical Titanique\, Tom is also a best-selling author with two memoirs\, No Shame and Too Much and most recently his debut novel Common Decency. \nTom’s returning to the stage and there’s a lot to catch up about. His last tour\, Completely\, was a runaway sell-out success\, and this one is ‘Totally’ tipped to follow. \n‘Riotous stuff\, perfectly delivered’ ★★★★ (Scotsman)\n‘A neatly judged mix of realism and ripe exaggeration delivered at a frantically camp pace’ ★★★★ (Times) \n‘A riotous rollercoaster ride’ ★★★★ (Evening Standard)
