FAT! That's what I'm making a show about. My fat. Your fat, maybe. Fat. I've been fat for a long time now, and I thought I was fat, even when I wasn't, and as such, I've been thinking about fat for even longer. So I made a show about it. Our bodies and egos are fragile, our ways of talking about them inadequate, so I can understand that you might not be up for talking about fat for an hour. So I'll make you some promises:
- I promise to tell the truth. - I promise to make it funny. - I promise you won't get any mess on your nice clothes.
“It is not going to be easy in so short a time to tell you the fundamental reasons why I am a painter” — Roland Penrose

From the battlefields of Spain to the Minotaurs of desire, the tranquility of the Côte d'Azur to a bohemian London on the eve of another World War, [Roland : A Collage] is a theatrical collage...

You’ll laugh, cry and the other one. Here’s a personal message from Arthur himself. ‘If you only buy...
More than 1,000 people across Devon and Cornwall have taken part in a consultation process which allows communities to decide how low-level criminals may be punished in the future.

The consultation was required under legislation outlined in the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act. A total of 1,022 people took part in the process, either face to face or...
A World War One commemorative stone sundial was unveiled yesterday (Tuesdy) in Drewsteignton Village Garden to mark Remembrance Day. Tim Cambourne, Castle Drogo Project Manager said: "There is a very close connection between the Trust and the residents of Drewsteignton and surrounding villages. Many of the craftsmen working on the castle enlisted along with Julius Drewe’s three sons. "Like many of the men, the heir to Castle Drogo died at war and building work was curtailed and the Castle not completed until 1930, the walls of which are said to be memorials to its lost community of...
