SUMMARY:Brewhouse Wenesday Reels- Movie and Pizza Night
DESCRIPTION:Following on from last Wednesday’s screening of Get Out (2017)\, as part of our Horror Film Season this October\, I’ll be showing The People Under The Stairs(15) (1991) next Wednesday at Queen St Brewhouse at 7:30pm. The People Under The Stairs is a horror comedy film written and directed by Wes Craven (Nightmare On Elm Street\, 1984) and starring Brandon Adams\, Everett McGill\, Wendy Robie\, Ving Rhames and A. J. Langer. The plot follows a young boy and two thieves who break into a house owned by the neighbourhood’s landlord and discover a dark secret hidden beneath the house. Wes Craven’s classic film is widely recognised as an underrated gem in the horror genre and his body of work. \nIn a local community in the heart of Los Angeles\,California\, a young African-American boy called Poindexter “Fool” Williams (Brandon Adams) and his family are close to being evicted by their white landlords Eldon Robeson (Everett McGill) and Mrs. Robeson (Wendy Robie). A friend of Fool’s family Leroy (Ving Rhames) suggests that he and an associate of his\, along with Fool’s help\, break into the Robeson’s house to steal a collection of gold coins to save Fool’s family and his dying mother. When Fool breaks into the house\, he finds himself trapped inside due to the Robeson’s extra security and learns about the couple’s dark and sinister lifestyle. As Fool seeks a way out\, he meets Alice (A. J. Langer)\, the Robeson’s daughter\, who tries to help him escape. \nAccording to director Wes Craven\, The People Under The Stairs was inspired by a real-life story about two thieves who broke into a house and discovered two children who had been held captive. The irony of the situation intrigued Craven\, where the burglers were not the real monsters but the family they targeted who looked ordinary on the surface. This formed the basis of the film’s story about corruption hidden within a wealthy facades including themes of gentrification\, racism and class disparity. Jonny Coleman of LA Weekly called the film “a satire of late capitalism specifically in an L.A. run ragged by the free market of the ’80s and the violence it created” and compared the Robeson’s to the Reagans. On a director’s commentary track for the film’s Blu Ray release in 2015\, Craven describes the Robeson’s house as representing “the whole society of the United States”.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Laura Purcell Hosted by JJA Harwood
DESCRIPTION:What a treat to have Laura Purcell talk about the follow-up to her first novel The Silent Companions. That novel was one of her most popular and we can’t wait to read The House of Splinters. The evening will be hosted by fellow author JJA Harwood. If you love a classily written haunted house mystery\, some early readers have promised the new novel will be even better. A new generation returns to the Bridge to rescue it from ruin\, only for buried secrets and past injustices to lay their chill hand upon the families hopes. A perfect blend of the picturesque\, the supernatural and dark folk-lore. Are the children safe in the shadow of “the silent companions”? Don’t miss this spooky\, gothic masterpiece.Doors will open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start. Tickets are £5 or £3 for people with the Waterstones Plus card\, and you can purchase the book and ticket option for £20.

SUMMARY:A Musical Iliad
DESCRIPTION:“It was the tenth year of the siege of Troy\, the year that Calchas\, the soothsayer\, had predicted that the city would fall.”Paris of Troy chose Aphrodite the Goddess of Love as the fairest of all and gained Helen\, the most beautiful woman in the world\, as his reward. However Helen’s furious husband\, determined to get her back\, assembled a fleet of a thousand ships\, sailed to Troy and laid siege to the city. Now\, all the mightiest Princes of Ancient Greece are camped before Troy’s high walls in their black\, beached ships.“A unique\, powerful and compelling piece of time travel.”“It was breathtaking and awesome!”Award-winning storyteller Clare Goodall and historical musician Lizzie Gutteridge combine forces to bring you an epic tale of love\, tragedy and loss in an energetic and punchy adaptation\, where the characters come to life even if that life then ends brutally in bloodshed.Atmospheric musical accompaniment adds to the impact\, with a mixture of ancient Greek music and improvisation on aulos (ancient double pipes) and lyres.This is the epic that everyone has heard of but few have read. Our adaptation brings it to life\, showing why it’s been so well known for 3\,000 years\, and how it deals with issues that are still relevant today…This event is in our main downstairs gallery\, with step-free access via the back gate

SUMMARY:THE CARPENTERS EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION:The Carpenters’ holiday music has become synonymous with the yuletide season through the decades for millions of listeners of all generations who have cherished The Carpenters legacy. \nThe Carpenters were of course an American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of siblings Karen (1950–1983) and Richard Carpenter (born 1946). They produced a distinct soft musical style\, combining Karen’s contralto vocals with Richard’s harmonizing\, arranging and composition skills. During their 14-year career\, the Carpenters recorded ten albums\, along with numerous singles and several television specials. They first performed together as a duo in 1965 and formed the jazz-oriented Richard Carpenter Trio. Signing as Carpenters to A&M Records in 1969\, they achieved major success the following year with the hit singles “(They Long to Be) Close to You” and “We’ve Only Just Begun”. Subsequently\, the duo’s brand of melodic pop produced a record-breaking run of hit recordings on the American Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts\, and they became leading sellers in the soft rock\, easy listening and adult contemporary music genres. With sales of more than 90 million records worldwide\, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time\, they are there in this amazing recreation show performed by The Carpenters Experience. \nThe hits will just keep on coming: *They Long to Be Close to You * For All We Know * Goodbye to Love * I Need To Be In Love * I Won’t Last A Day Without You * Jambalaya (On The Bayou) * Merry Christmas Darling * Only Yesterday * Rainy Days And Mondays * Solitaire * Superstar * Sweet Sweet Smile * Top Of The World * We’ve Only Just Begun * Yesterday Once More and many more! \nSadly\, their career together ended in 1983 when Karen died from heart failure brought on by complications of anorexia. Extensive news coverage surrounding these circumstances increased public awareness of eating disorders. Though the Carpenters were criticized for their clean-cut and wholesome conservative image in the 1970s\, their music has since been re-evaluated\, attracting critical acclaim and continued commercial success. \nTheir music lives on and this special matinee show should not be missed. \nThis show is Unreserved seating \nFor all enquiries / disabled bookings\, please call the Box Office on: 01256 416384.

SUMMARY:Colchester Collision
DESCRIPTION:We are back again\, and we are nearing the end of 2025. So it’s time for a new era of Colchester Collision! This local group has gotten from strength to strength\, with the help of this fantastic community. With every event\, we are making minor tweeks and fine tuning everything\, it’s incredible to see\, as it was mainly a group of three of us just wanting to play Fighting Games offline! \nWith this in mind\, the top 4 players for each main game over the course of September\, October\, November and December\, will battle it out in a very special event to commemorate the end of the season! More info soon… \nWe will be running our three main games again\, Street Fighter 6\, Tekken 8 and Guilty Gear: Strive\, all with streams (after we were able to run the streams well last month). In addition there are casual setups throughout the day to play those games\, plus a potential surprise community tournament! More on that soon! \nPlease read on for everything you need to know about Colchester Collision #3! \nOur event in Colchester\, Essex aims to provide a fun setting for fighting games within the local community. This is all done completely grassroots and with help from some members of the community! Please look after any equipment\, show respect and care to everybody in attendance\, and especially the venue for helping us put this on. Failure to do will result in ejection from the venue and will be banned from any future events! \nThe venue is a board gaming cafe\, named Dice & a Slice\, located in Colchester town. It’s a great little venue that has food and drink\, and in general a nice little hub for the gaming (as a whole) community. Please\, check out their website for more information! It is near to one of Colchester’s train station\, the bus station\, and then it is a small walk from the other Colchester station. Please check your travel situation before hand! \nSIGN UP HEREhttps://www.start.gg/tournament/colchester-collision-3-a-new-season-begins/details \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/31156382620674940/?event_time_id=31156382640674938
