THEATRE

A Tomb With A View
Friday & Saturday, The Blackmore Theatre, Exmouth
This play is set in a sinister, old library.  There, a lawyer reads a will to an equally sinister family.  One family member has werewolf tendencies, another wanders around in a toga of Julius Caesar, and a third, a gentle old lady, who plants more than seeds!  By Act 3, there are more corpses than live cast members left. The whole plot heads towards a surprising conclusion! This is the first of the Tomb trilogy.  Tickets:  Mon £8 – Tues to Sat (including Matinee) £10, call 07484 509514 or click here for further information. http://blackmoretheatre.co.uk/production/a-tomb-with-a-view/

Branded: Fashion, Femininity and the Right to Vote
Killerton House, Broadclyst, Exeter
To mark 100 years since some women got the right to vote, this exhibition reflects the timeline of the campaign for women’s suffrage from 1866 until 1928 through the changing styles of fashion. The exhibition highlights the relationship between politics and dress and how this was exploited by the campaigners and supporters of women’s suffrage. Groups involved in the campaign used design and colour to identify themselves and to raise awareness and support for their cause. The exhibition runs until 4 November and entry is free, but normal admission charges apply for the venue. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/killerton
