1945. Dresden, Germany. Lizzie, her mother - and an elephant from the zoo, flee the Allied fire-bombing in the end-game of the Second World War.

Escaping the Allies' advance from the West - and also the advancing Russian armies from the East - this extraordinary trio of refugees meets: a downed RAF officer, cowering in a barn; a homeless school choir on the run and their Countess saviour, harbouring them from the Nazis; and the mechanised American cavalry, appearing over the horizon.

It is Lizzie's story – but Marlene, the elephant, is the heroine. Plodding, obdurate,...

A new adaptation created by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan

April, 1984. 13:00. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching, and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye.

The definitive book of the 20th century is re-examined in this radical new staging exploring surveillance, identity and why Orwell's vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.

Headlong continues to interrogate our most important cultural texts, following productions of Six Characters In Search Of An...

Sadler's Wells Associate Artist Jasmin Vardimon returns with her critically-acclaimed dance theatre production, Park.

Park is an urban oasis, a place of refuge from ordinary life where eight characters play, fight, fall in love and learn to survive. In this playground of relationships, young lovers wrestle in a historic fountain, a graffiti artist sprays his story, a busker finds his only appreciative audience in a bag lady and a flag-waving bully rants worn out political beliefs. Their stories intertwine creating a modern day fairytale that is alternately sharp, funny and cruel...

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra: Heavenly Adagio

MOZART Clarinet Concerto BRUCKNER Symphony No. 7

Kirill Karabits conductor Andreas Ottensamer clarinet

The BSO opens its 2014/15 concert season with Principal Conductor Kirill Karabits leading the Orchestra in Bruckner's Seventh Symphony, which occupies a singularly important place in the composer's output. It was with this piece that Bruckner finally achieved widespread recognition, and it has remained the most popular of his nine symphonies. The opening melody apparently came to him in a dream: a friend from Bruckner...

What would you do if you lost the Queen's pants?

Dilys, the Queen's maid, is the royal custodian of her Majesty's 'intimate apparel', otherwise known as the Queen's knickers. She guards HRH's smalls as if they were the crown jewels. She would be mortified if anyone got a glimpse of them.

But one day the knickers go missing, causing a national state of emergency and a diplomatic incident of catastrophic proportions.

A celebration of the garments we all wear, but never show, this children's classic is inventively told by two elastic actors.

It's all about...
