Crepes and Cider

Anton Lesser (Game of Thrones, Endeavour, Wolf Hall and Royal & Derngate’s The Two Popes) and Charlie Hamblett (Killing Eve, Ghosts) star in Laurie Lee’s extraordinary story told in a captivating weave of music and his own words. Red Sky at Sunrise follows Lee through his much-loved Cider with Rosie trilogy, when he famously walked out of the Slad valley one midsummer morning, and ended up fighting with the International Brigades against Franco’s forces in the Spanish Civil War. A ‘breathtaking’ musical programme by Orchestra of the Swan journeys from the lush Gloucestershire countryside made famous in Cider With Rosie, to the arid landscapes of Spain. Featuring music from Vaughan Williams, Britten, Turina and De Falla, with Northampton-born guitarist Mark Ashford. Sold out at RSC and Oxford, this ‘triumph’ comes to Northampton for one night only.

Having reassessed her life through the prism of an ADHD diagnosis in last year’s funny and moving memoir, one of Britain’s most beloved and most scatterbrained stand-ups lets you back into her mind (warning: it’s cluttered in there). Among other things, this show will be a love-letter to letter-writing, a trip back through her early years as a comic and woman-about-town, and a whirlwind tour of a chaotic, hilarious brain.

On the last Tuesday of each month, join us for an evening en Espanol! all levels are welcome, just a grab a drink and give it a go.
