Mark Hayhurst’s play is a gripping thriller that exposes the impact of the First World War on soldiers and their families.

Golden Oldies Movie

STAGE FRIGHT (1950)

The police think actor Jonathan Cooper (Richard Todd) is a murderer, and now they're on his tail. He asserts that it was his lover, the famous actress Charlotte Inwood (Marlene Dietrich), who killed the victim (not coincidentally, her husband). He seeks shelter with his ex-girlfriend Eve (Jane Wyman), a budding actress. Convinced Jonathan is innocent, Eve plays detective and assumes multiple disguises. But once she is entangled in a web of deception, she fears everyone in fact wears a mask.

SHADOWING HANK with Justin Daish

This Ultimate Hank Marvin Experience features all of The Shadows' instrumental hits plus songs from their 50+ year careers, including some of the songs they recorded with Cliff Richard - just as they used to do in their live shows!

Charismatic and fun, taking you through the music of one of the most influential bands of all time and performed with an energy that has audiences clamouring for more, Justin's "Shadowing Hank" show is just like the real thing!
