On Me by Caroline Lamb Directed by Helen Parry

Friday 20th November

7.15pm performance

Shona and Christian are cast in a true crime docudrama as an abusive predator and his surviving victim. As the pair explore the undeniable attraction forming between them, they stumble into questions of male responsibility, female safety and the dangers of modern romance - and things get still more complicated once the camera starts rolling.

“Steers into the messiness of life with a boldness that is both refreshing and uncomfortable... Will stay with you long after it finishes.” - North Manchester FM

"Entertaining and often funny, but the underlying message is clearly carried throughout, leaving nowhere to hide...” ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 - The Reviews Hub

"To open this evening, there will be an approximately 20 minute script in hand performance of From a Whisper to a Roar by Endeavour Writers and Performance Group, led by Amina Ali.

A poignant look at domestic abuse. The 1960s. Four working class Lancashire women. A time when domestic abuse had no name; where conversations about abuse were whispered. A time when support came primarily from the local community. The present day. Their granddaughters. A world where domestic abuse still happens - but laws exist and help is just a phone call away."

Age guidance: 15+

Content warning: Brief depictions of s*xual ass*ult, scenes of alcohol use, coarse language, references to stalking, coercive control, domestic abuse and femicide. Instances of sexism. Support will be available throughout the evening for anyone affected by the themes of these two pieces.

Love And Information by Caryl Churchill’s

Saturday 13th February

7.30pm

“How well can we ever truly know another person? Caryl Churchill’s Love and Information is a bold, fragmented exploration of human connection, memory, identity and the complexities of modern life. Through a series of fleeting encounters, intimate confessions and unexpected revelations, the play captures the beauty and complexity of being human. A thought-provoking theatrical experience, it invites audiences to look beyond the surface, piece together fragments of lives and question what it really means to connect with each other and the things that keep us apart.”

The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican's

 20th Anniversary Tour

Friday 9th April 2027

7.30pm

Put on yer finest knitted gladrags, style your barnet, put on your dancing shoes and bring your finest singing voices, as we cordially invite you to witness the Greatest Show On Earth (in tank-tops). Founded in Barnsley Rock City in 2006 by their outspoken and energetic ringleader, Scott Doonican, The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican are on a mission! Far from being your typical folk ensemble, this cult-like collective of like-minded knit-wear enthusiasts are determined to follow in their spiritual father’s immortal footsteps and keep his legacy alive. Scott and his brothers-from-other-mothers, Mo-Jo Doonican and the Rt. Rev. Jeremiah Rickenbacker Doonican III, have quite the talent for Bar-Stewardizing other famous people’s songs with new satirical comedy lyrics, on folk instruments.
