You must have all heard by now of the recent novel, ‘Dracula’, that was released three years ago in 1897 by that dreadful man Bram Stoker, yes? I gave that money grabber, Mr Stoker, all of my research notes, letters, diary entries to write up to warn you…It wasn’t a fictional story at all, no! It was fact, true, real, I was there! I saw the madness, the supernatural. I saw the vampire.
Excuse me, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Professor Abraham...
Dillie Keane takes a short break from her Fascinating Aïda gal pals to present her first solo show in 558 years.
With some brand new songs, some grand old favourites, gorgeous songs of love and songs of disgraceful filth, Dillie will break your heart, mend it again and have it sent to the cleaners for pressing. And she’ll give you her recipe for chutney while she’s at it.
Dillie will be accompanied on the piano by the very young but very talented Michael Roulston.

Packed with oodles of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos, this is a stunning stage adaptation of the...
Rachmaninov created a remarkable sound-world in his Second Symphony. Sombre harmonies complement the rich orchestration like deeply burnished mahogany. Imagine the embers of a huge log fire, beating back an icy black Russian winter’s night. The music similarly smoulders for ages, and occasionally, with or without warning, flares briefly and spectacularly. One of his earliest works for orchestra, this concerto served as the young Beethoven’s formal introduction to Viennese society. It reflects his mastery of Classical form and style, a youthful...

In Surviving Madagascar, National Adventurer of the Year two years running, Ash Dykes tells the story of how he came to take on his daring expeditions, before recounting his latest adventure; how he contracted the deadliest strain of Malaria, was held up by the military, dodged bandits, received nasty spider bites, built a raft for a dangerous river crossing, was almost washed away – at night – by another ferocious, Crocodile-infested, river and had to hack his way through near-impenetrable jungle as he became the first person ever to traverse the length of Madagascar’s interior.
