Inked

What people decide to get inked is often highly significant and personal. Tattoos can be decorative, commemorative, symbolic and transformational. Some stop at one or two – others curate an entire gallery on their skin. Inked is a bold new piece of theatre based on true stories. Director Lucy Pitman-Wallace has worked her way around Havering, interviewing those with tattoos and some of the incredible artists who create them. Together with writer Paul Dodgson, Lucy has shaped these authentic stories into a compelling script that promises to be fascinating, emotive and inspiring.

Pinney Talfourd’s – Christmas at Queen’s Charity Carol Concert

At Christmas, we believe in the magic that fills the air and in the joy of giving that knows no bounds. We believe in the power of togetherness, in the beauty of traditions old and new, and in the hope that Christmas brings – a hope that inspires us to be better, kinder, and more compassionate.

All profits from the concert will be divided equally between Haven House Children’s Hospice and the Queen’s Theatre Charitable Trust.

This Christmas, join us in believing.

The Deadcoats

Please note: this event is taking place at Myplace Youth & Community Centre in Harold Hill.

Event location: 343 Dagnam Park Drive, Harold Hill, RM3 9EN

On the way to their final Friday Night Minehead Extravaganza, Harry Ham & Eddie Egg died in a horrific crash with a twenty-ton truck. They were the greatest Redcoats Butlins had ever seen. Now, 60 years of purgatory later, they are ‘The Deadcoats’, two ghosts stuck in a form of light entertainment that’s deader than they are. Join them at a dilapidated resort near you, as they attempt to give their final performance at long last, and complete their unfinished business.

The Deadcoats – you don’t have to die laughing… because they’ve already done it for you.

Written and performed by George Mills and Nigel Munson. Produced by 6FootStories. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity. Sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, this hysterical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score by David Yazbek (The Full Monty) and was nominated for a staggering 11 Tony Awards.
Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother’s failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!
