Back in 1971 LINDISFARNE released their ground-breaking first album and began to attract the fervent fan base that followed them for decades.

In October that year they released their second album ‘FOG ON THE TYNE’ which topped the UK charts for six weeks in spring 1972. ‘Fog on the Tyne’ was a game-changer, and UK and international success soon followed.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this classic album, Lindisfarne frontman BILLY MITCHELL and founder member RAY LAIDLAW tell the group’s amazing story with a combination of superb songs, vital video, tall tales and of course, scurrilous gossip.

Othello RE:MX – Royal & Derngate

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Othello RE:MX takes place in a post-apocalyptic, industrial setting. This much-shortened version of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy concentrates on the background of Othello and relationship between Othello and Iago. Things start to go wrong when Desdemona and Cassio appear on the scene and they all career towards a climactic finish through their dystopian setting against a backdrop of industrial electronic music, digital dreams and dark landscapes. The piece incorporates dance, poignant snippets of Shakespeare’s text, creative captions and BSL.

Starring a black, gender-fluid Othello, we bring the story bang up to date as social commentary of our times. Is this the future of theatre?
