Holocaust Memorial Day: Nicky's Family

Dir: Matej Minac 2011 | 96 mins

The remarkable true story of Maidenhead resident Sir Nicholas Winton, who rescued over 600 Jewish Czech and Slovak children at the outbreak of World War II.

Sir Nicholas did not speak about these events for more than half a century. His exploits would have probably been forgotten if his wife, fifty years later, hadn't found a suitcase in the attic, full of documents and transport plans. Today the story of this rescue is known all over the world.

The screening marks Holocaust Memorial Day – the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

It will be followed by a presentation hosted by Nick Winton, son of 'Nicky'.

It's the Economy, Stupid!

Based on a true story of a family caught up in the 90s recession, It's the Economy, Stupid! reveals the humanity behind economics.

Armed with bags, boxes and an old board game, Joe Sellman-Leava and Dylan Howells embark on a quest to uncover how the economy wins elections, and why the force that dominates our lives is so bloody complicated!

Developed with and directed by internationally acclaimed Katharina Reinthaller, and produced by Worklight Theatre, It's the Economy, Stupid! is a bold new play from the Fringe First winning creators of Labels and Fanboy. Touring the UK after its sold-out, critically acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe!

Live Music Lunch Club: A Brief History of Music

A new regular spot for lovers of live music who prefer their concerts in the daytime, alongside a little lunch, in a relaxed environment.

Performances take place in the Studio in a cabaret set up so you can come and go during the music if you want to.

The ticket price includes a pre-show two course lunch from our Café Bar.

The latest show from acclaimed musicians Chris Green and Sophie Matthews takes in 600 years of musical history in 90 minutes. Beginning in the Middle Ages and ending up in the 20th century (and incorporating everything in between!) this fun and fast-moving show is a whistle-stop tour of Western musical history.

Featuring long forgotten songs and tunes (not to mention jokes!) Chris and Sophie paint a vibrant and vivid picture of our musical DNA, mixing the familiar and the obscure, the raucous and the reflective and the courtly and the commonplace.

The show combines the vigour of the medieval period, the musical intricacy of the Renaissance, the grandeur of the Baroque and the pomp and bombast of Victoriana. Add to that the wit of Blackadder and 1066 And All That and the stage is set for a veritable musical feast!

Complete with a bewildering array of instruments such as cittern, rauschpfeife and virginal (and that’s just the first 100 years!) A Brief History of Music uses tunes, songs and humour to take you on a musical journey from which you won’t want to return!

'You guys are awesome!' Bill Barclay, Director of Music at Shakespeare's Globe

Romeo and Juliet

Presented by OVO.

Two households, both alike in dignity. In broken Belfast, where we lay our scene...

A brand new adaption set on the streets of Northern Ireland’s capital in 1998 - the year that the Good Friday agreement was signed.

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, a pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives.

Led with movement and a banging 90s soundtrack played by a live band, this is a high paced, modern take on a timeless classic.

OVO’s fresh take shows us that Shakespeare is as relevant today as it’s always been and that a fragile peace is only as durable as opposing sides permit.

'A gorgeous mix of storytelling and physical theatre with carefully chosen songs, all blending together to produce a heart-stopping show' ★★★★★ LondonTheatre1

'This pacy version of the classic breathes new life into this passionate tragedy' ★★★★ West End Best Friend

'A sparkling new interpretation of a well-loved play presented by multi-talented performers ' St Albans Times
