Dare to ask yourself this question. Are we responsible for our own actions or are our actions just learnt behaviours?

Flying Fish Theatre proudly presents its first production - *Age 16+ * A devised play currently in research and development stage – we wish to look at the pattern of learnt behaviour and ask our audience to challenge and stand up to Domestic Abuse. There are many plays, dramas about this subject but not really much about child to adult abuse. This play looks at the effects of witnessing the abuse, perceiving it as the norm and the cycle continues. We will also be asking why the child is removed from the family home to be “fixed” but then put back in to the toxic environment. The play begins amongst the Victorian Freak Shows with a Punch and Judy show. We travel forward to present day seeing he baby become the child, then the teen, and the abuser.

Set in a close-knit fishing village in picturesque Cornwall in the mid 1930s, the plot tells of two aging spinsters - the sisters Ursula and Janet Widdington.

They have lived all their lives in an isolated cottage that their father bought when he retired from the Navy. The sudden presence of a handsome, vulnerable young man sets off previously restrained emotions of love, pride, rivalry and nurture in this beautifully presented and touching story. Played with much humour it will leave you feeling that it may never be too late for something meaningful to intrude into the most ordinary of lives.

Pick of the Month

One of the highlights of the Assembly Hall calendar is the biannual TWODS (Tunbridge Wells Operatic and Drama Society) show. November (20th-24th) sees their latest, a production of Hello Dolly!

It's a fun filled, feel good, rollercoaster of wonderful characters, laughs, tears, love and a superb score featuring some timeless classics.

November sees the return of the Ice Rink to Calverley Grounds. The launch night is Friday the 16th and should feature performances from Panto star Claire Sweeney, the Silver Blades, the Snow Queen and fire juggler, Rachel Phoenix! 

This year there is a lot going on at the Ice Rink: the successful Winter Sessions, curated by The Forum, returns with bands on Thursday nights; there are several story-telling sessions; a couple of talks by the museum staff; some wreath making sessions and, new this year, some special singles and dating sessions! And of course the ever popular Santa will be on hand when he gets time off from his preparations for the big night.

Talking of Santa, he must have a good team, because he will also be on duty at Royal Victoria Place from Monday the 19th.

November is clearly a great month for comedians with shows ranging from TV favourites Joe Lycett, Ross Noble and Sarah Millican at the Assembly Hall, Rich Hall and Hal Cruttenden at Trinity and a host of comedy nights at various locations. There are too many to mention so just go look at the comedy page.
