Double Bill of Folk Music in association with Wren Music. Tickets
Lyrically evocative, sometimes moody and melancholic, Holland’s unadorned music has a flip side of songs of upbeat, wry humour but always acutely observed.
Cornish folk duo Jon & Alfie bring both original material and traditional folk tunes from all over the world. At once foot-stamping and unpredictable, their sound is experimental in its subtle questioning of folk music idioms.

We follow her journey from childhood to adulthood. Born to a passionate Gypsy mother – then adopted by Miss Havisham – Estella’s childhood is haunted by an abandoned, decaying wedding feast.

A witty and seductive comedy by the eighteenth century master Pierre de Marivaux.
What is a princess to do when she is in love with the handsome prince who hates her because her father usurped his father’s throne? The answer is simple – dress up as a boy and woo the prince, his tutor and the tutor’s sister who have all renounced love.
