"Mystery, intrigue, beauty, passion, murder – shine a new light on Caravaggio in this dramatic biography…
Five years in production, this is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time – Caravaggio. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious death, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before.
Multi-award-winning film makers Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff delve into the hidden narratives of Caravaggio’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art. The intriguing self-depictions within his works — sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight — offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. Join us as we unravel the story of one of history’s most brilliant, complex and controversial figures.
Caravaggio’s masterpieces are some of art’s most instantly recognisable. No one else uses his signature blend of dramatic light, intense naturalism and bold, striking figures. His incredible paintings have captivated audiences for centuries. But there lies a deeper mystery — one that still beckons us to explore. What do these masterpieces reveal about the man behind the brush? Join us as we explore the many clues that help us to finally understand the life – and death – of this remarkable man."

"When a vindictive lie unleashes a campaign of state-sanctioned terror, and when sanctimonious piety becomes obligatory, it falls to a self-confessed sinner, John Proctor, to call out the lies. But will anyone believe him?
Arthur Miller’s award-winning play asks us the most troubling questions. Written during the McCarthy witch-hunts of 1950s America, it dramatises events surrounding the witch trials of the 1690s in Salem, Massachusetts and still stands as a warning from history today.
This visceral, gripping play takes us into a desperate, dangerous world, where everyone is implicated, and nobody is safe."

Many Tuesday seats already sold! so don't delay if you want to join us for this November play. Tuesday is the only evening I can attend, sorry. But the theatre is small so even the back seats have a perfectly good view.

"Deckchairs, Donkey Rides and Dodgy Weather...
Set against the backdrop of a working-class couple’s annual holiday to Blackpool, this story follows Jack and Liz as they reminisce about their life together—through laughter, arguments, and tender moments. Told through a series of flashbacks spanning decades, the play captures the ups and downs of a long marriage, with affection, wit and nostalgia. With just two actors, it’s a touching portrait of enduring love and the beauty found in everyday memories. September in the Rain is a poignant and warmly humorous play by acclaimed British playwright John Godber."
