Meet Ebenezer Scrooge, a penny clutching old miser, his heart so cold and steely it cannot be softened by any amount of festive cheer.
One magical night Scrooge is visited by mystical ghosts, who show him there is more to life than work and money and slowly he begins to recognise the true meaning of Christmas.
With a cavalcade of colourful characters, including Mr Bob Cratchit, Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim and the...
1889 saw the re-opening of the Exeter Theatre Royal after the tragic fire two years earlier.
This Hallowe'en, Exeter Alternative Theatre presents a re-imagining of that auspicious night 123 years ago; an absinthe-laced cocktail of theatre, cabaret and burlesque.
Expect a rollercoaster ride of frights and frolics, featuring Jack the Ripper in the Exeter Lunatic Asylum, The Origins of Dracula (the day Bram Stoker came to town), Lilly Laudanum, Dark Annie, the Phantom Juggler, Queen Victoria as you've never seen her before and a whole lot more!
Martyn Joseph - “Songs for the Coming Home” Autumn Tour 2012 Martyn Joseph is as performer like no other. Touring in support of a brand new studio album “Songs for the Coming Home”, shades of Springsteen, John Mayer, Bruce Cockburn and Dave Matthews there may be – but he stands in his own right, built on a reputation for giving what thousands have described as the best live music experience of their lives.
Martyn’s ability to transcend preconceptions about how one man and a guitar can sound is testament to his talent and stage presence. In fact, you’d be forgiven for thinking that...
“Do you know what? I don’t care what everyone says.

Join him as he dismantles the lies - from Fairy Tales to post-match analysis - that confound us all.

We round off 2012 with "the most remarkable bluesman of his generation" (Blues in Britain). This charismatic multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and one man band is one of our most entertaining acts.
Eddie has the rare knack of writing blues songs that speak of now while paying dues to yesterday. His performance energy is infectious, as his national steel guitar, rack mounted harmonic and suitcase (acting as bass drum) pound out driving rhythms to complement his soulful vocals.
Eddie is celebrating a phenomenal year, winning Act of the Year in the SW Blues Awards and...
Songwriter Huw and multi-instrumentalist Maartin first met on a Fairport Convention tour bus in 1995. Huw went on to conquer the British folk scene with singing partner Tony Williams until calling it a day in 2002, since when he's been a regular BBC Radio 4 contributor.
