Writer and performer Rose Collis brings her acclaimed one-woman musical cabaret show to Exeter Library as part of an Arts Council-funded tour for LGBT History Month 2016.
'Trouser-Wearing Characters' is the first ever musical cabaret show written and performed by a British female author. This original entertainment, written and performed by one of Sussex’s favourite personalities, is a unique mixture of music, history and comedy.
And so the European adventure continues for Exeter Chiefs following an unbelievable final round of action in Pool Two of this season’s Champions Cup.
Seemingly with a mountain to climb ahead of kick-off, Rob Baxter’s side dug deep not only to see off the Ospreys with a five-try blast, but at the same time preserve their lengthy home record.
Exeter’s 33-17 victory will live long in the minds of those who packed into Sandy Park, whilst for those watching on TV at home, the viewing was equally compelling as they advanced to...

From Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s bestselling autobiography of the same name, I Am Not Myself These Days is a shockingly direct and heartbreakingly funny new play about love and self-discovery in the flashy, trashy New York of the 1990s. Ad man by day and drag queen by night, Josh battles his own alcoholism while desperately trying to make his relationship work with Jack, a high-class rent boy addicted to crack.
By turns brutal, funny and heartfelt I Am Not Myself These Days is a one-man tour de force of mesmerising candour.
What is a hero and where do you find them? Tiny Heroes is a collage of true stories of heroism where you are.
It’s a show about the people who saved your life, your day, or your bacon. The people who took the time, took a stand, or took a chance. The people who tried, even if they failed.
Featuring compelling storytelling, magical light puppetry and a local choir, Tiny Heroes is an attempt to sing for the unsung.
Mmm Hmmm is a playful, poignant musical journey shaped by three exceptional female voices jumping between sound worlds and lyrical styles.
Using intricate vocal techniques and rich harmony, Mmm Hmmm holds a magnifying glass up to snapshots of everyday life. One moment a fragile apology, the next a perilous trip to the First Great Western buffet car…Verity Standen’s original a cappella songs evoke the awkward, heartrending and hilarious moments that characterise what it means to be human.
This is a show about death. It’s not a show about being sad. Or about grief. Or pity. This is a show about the actuality of dying and how an acceptance of mortality can drive a passion for life.
Learning How To Die asks what scares us about dying, and how can we use that fear to drive our living actions. Can we stop being scared of talking about dying? Can we find new ways to talk about death now, not just when we are faced with it, or have to deal with someone else’s? It won’t make it any less painful but it might just make things easier.
Are you 16-years-old, yet feel 21? Are you 40, but tragically faking 25? Or maybe you're full-on 80 years, with the heart of three oxen and the sex drive of a bonobo chimp. Don't worry: this is normal. No one is ever the 'right' age - it's is the beauty and the curse of being a real person.
