QUE PASA?

QUE PASA? - What’s happening? What’s going on out there?
Poets Chris Fogg and Chris Waters, together with jazz saxophonist Rob Yockney, return to Netherhay Chapel with a new update programme of poetry and live music around this theme, which follow the trio’s travels both at home and overseas as they try to come up with some answers.
There is humour, pathos, poignancy and joy to be found in their special blend of words and music."on SATURDAY 26th OCTOBER at in the Chapel. I think your idea of repeating the same pattern as before - with the evening being split into two halves, with an interval in between where there is just tea and cake is absolutely perfect.

Film Club - THE MIRACLE CLUB

To honour and celebrate the life of the late Dame Maggie Smith we will be showing The Miracle Club.

"Ballygar, Dublin, Ireland, 1968: close friends Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates), and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey) win the trip of a lifetime - a pilgrimage to Lourdes. With each woman desperately in need of a personal miracle, the trip seems like an answer to all their prayers. But when they are joined by Chrissie (Laura Linney), returning to Dublin after decades in America, deep wounds from the past are re-opened and bitter truths exposed. As they confront one another and embrace their shared past, the group reckon with revelations that will change them forever. Directed by Thaddeus O’Sullivan, The Miracle Club is a heartfelt story of friendship, family, and forgiveness."

‘NAN, ME AND BARBARA PRAVI'

ARTSREACH PRESENTS
‘NAN, ME AND BARBARA PRAVI' by HANNAH MAXWELL

A critically acclaimed memoir of care, crisis and Eurovision!
In 2021, Hannah Maxwell moved back to the Home Counties to care for her terminally ill grandfather. But this show isn’t about that. It’s about France’s Eurovision star Barbara Pravi, who’s just lovely.
In between cooking, cleaning and Countdown, Maxwell escapes into an intensifying fantasy of ballroom dances, heartfelt ballads, Parisian cafés, and 'definitely-not-creepy' plots to engineer a meet-cute with a random
foreign celebrity. It’s La La Land meets Mission Impossible meets Hannah’s nan.

TICKETS £12.50 for adults. £6 for under-18s. FROM Francesca Hurrell 07771 554601
