Written by Charles Dickens Adapted & Directed by Dario Knight Produced by Unbound In the final few days before Christmas, come and share this brand-new adaptation of Dickens' classic yuletide tale. Ebeneezer Scrooge turned his back on Christmas long ago. It means nothing to him in the here-and-now and he swears it never will. However, the realms of 'long ago', 'here-and-now' and 'never-will' are stirring. Each era of his life sends forth a spirit to visit the miserly old moneylender to force him to face himself. If they succeed, then - as Scrooge is about to discover - more than one lost soul might be saved in time for Christmas Day... Suitable for ages 8+ (Contains some scenes that younger audience members may find frightening) This production is presented by QPAC's award-winning in-house storytelling company, Unbound.

A new play by Non Vaughan-O’Hagan Directed by Alex Pearson Synopsis: On a cold December day 1917, Lady Ottoline Morrell crosses Bedford Square to call on Millicent Fawcett. Across the Square depicts an imagined encounter between two sharply contrasting women. In a show full of laughter and drama, will these two find common ground, shared values? Reviews: “Across the Square gives us an insight into the lives and personalities of two extraordinary English woman of the early 20th century. Non Vaughan-O’Hagan's de handling of biographical detail and characterisation through both humour and poignancy makes for an illuminating and entertaining evening.” “I loved this show! Their wonderfully imagined conversation turns out to be a rollercoaster as they reach highs and lows and you wait to find out if they'll be the best of friends or will never speak again.” “Two women with radically differing views find a meeting of minds through the power of love and loss. A must see.” “Funny and thought provoking… loved every minute” “A funny, charming poignant show: it was superb”

Sat 2 May 2026 8pm Nobody writes songs like MARK HARRISON. Constantly touring and multi-awards-nominated, Mark Harrison has a reputation for being unlike anyone else out there. Described at BBC Radio 2 as an artist who ‘makes you think afresh’, and by countless audience members and reviewers as ‘uplifting and ‘inspirational’, his highly individual music takes him to some of the top venues and festivals in the UK, attracting acclaim wherever he goes. Mark writes songs about things most people live and think about but don’t hear songs about, and songs that tell stories they haven’t heard before. Proper songs, with catchy melodies and memorable lyrics that you can hear. Mark’s live shows are well-known not only for the memorable songs but also for his introductions to them, delivered in a manner often described as ‘wry’ and ‘dry’. Mark has been frequently heard on BBC Radio 2, including on its Pick of the Week show on a playlist containing many of the world’s top pop artists. Mark has a unique sound and style that is very much his own genre, and incorporates elements of classic roots, folk and blues. He has been compared to classic artists of the golden era such as The Band, Ry Cooder and Little Feat. It’s music to make you smile, think and move. Mark has released eight albums, which have been unanimously acclaimed across a wide range of areas of the music world, receiving a very great deal of airplay and highly enthusiastic reviews in the UK, Europe and the US. With his outstanding tunes, wry observations, striking rhythms and stunning guitar playing, Mark Harrison is widely considered one of the most original and interesting artists around. You won’t hear anything else quite like him. • Everybody should be talking about Mark Harrison (Classic Rock magazine) • He takes very real things that happen in life and makes you think afresh about them (Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2) • a bit different and kinda groovy too (Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 2) • a fantastic musician, he's got a great voice and what a songwriter! What a glorious sound he makes (Frank Hennessey, BBC Radio) • great stage presence … innovative…… if Top Of The Pops was still around, he might well be on it’ (Jazz FM) • perhaps all you need is empathy for other people’s lives. Mark has that (Folking) • charismatic live performances (RnR magazine) • fresh as morning sunshine and as sharp as a well-honed razor (Folkwords) www.markharrisonrootsmusic.com

Saturday 7 March | 8pm RED & BLUE ANTHOLOGY The iconic Beatles' Red and Blue double albums were first released by EMI in 1973, reaching positions 3 and 4 respectively on the UK Albums Chart. Their popularity as authorised compilations endured to the extent that both were later released on CD to similar success and then as expanded collections in 2023 with many tracks newly remixed and remastered. They've become culturally embedded and respected albums in their own right, charting and encapsulating as they do, the Beatles' staggering and rapid evolution from pop to rock over less than a decade. In this one-off concert, The Dung Beatles rock band will draw upon their extensive repertoire to bring you over two hours of Beatles classics that featured on these landmark albums. They'll bring their trademark high energy, precise harmonies and top-drawer musicianship to this totally live music performance - no backing tracks, costumes or gimmicks.

Their popularity as authorised compilations endured to the extent that both were later released on CD to similar success and then as expanded collections in 2023 with many tracks newly remixed and remastered. They've become culturally embedded and respected albums in their own right, charting and encapsulating as they do, the Beatles' staggering and rapid evolution from pop to rock over less than a decade. In this one-off concert, The Dung Beatles rock band will draw upon their extensive repertoire to bring you over two hours of Beatles classics that featured on these landmark albums. They'll bring their trademark high energy, precise harmonies and top-drawer musicianship to this totally live music performance - no backing tracks, costumes or gimmicks.
