Journey’s End
By Original Theatre & Icarus Theatre Collective
Thur 11 - Sat 13 March, 7.30pm
The young, talented and war-weary Captain Stanhope is confronted with the fresh face of his past as an old schoolmate joins his platoon. As the offensive looms ever closer, Stanhope must inspire his men to make the ultimate sacrifice for a war he no longer understands and for a cause he no longer remembers. This compelling play is based on R.C. Sherriff's own experience in the trenches with its heroism, humour and inevitable tragedy. All staged within a claustrophobic dugout, audience and actor are witness to a seminal moment in our recent history. Time creeps to a standstill and the soldiers await their orders before racing to a heart wrenching climax as these young men face their Journey’s End.

The Man Who Cycled the World
Tuesday 16 Mar, 7.30pm
In 2008, Mark Beaumont broke the world record for cycling solo around the world. A remarkable man with a penchant for ultra-endurance expeditions, his epic journey saw him cover 18000 miles, cycling 100 miles a day for over half a year. In 2009, his second solo challenge was a 13000 mile expedition along the American Cordillera, the longest mountain range on earth, including a climb up the continent’s two highest peaks; all filmed for a BBC1 documentary. Here, Mark tells the fascinating story of his adventures. A captivating tale of mental and physical endurance and where life can take you to if you’re determined.

To add to the glamorous setting and costumes are some splashy Latin-inspired show numbers written by Barry Manilow. So travel back to New York and Cuba 1947, and dance with Lola and her friends at the club where music and passion are always the fashion.
