WOMEN ON THE EDGE Following the great success of Cabaret with Balls we welcome Charlie Bicknell and Louise Innes back to our stage with Women On The Edge. Poised precisely on the brink, Women On The Edge lies well short of good behaviour. Charlie Bicknell and Louise Innes take on life, maturity and modern madness in a show which doesn’t just sail close to the wind, but blasts right through it. A kaleidoscope of songs peppered with irreverent radio broadcast detours, inevitable surprises and is accompanied by pianist David Harrod featuring Solomon Bain. It’s a sharp-witted, funny and deliciously unpredictable evening you’ll struggle to forget. Lean way back in your seat and enjoy the ride.’ Godfrey Smith- The Times

Sir Derek Jacobi in Conversation

Presented by Clive Conway Sir Derek Jacobi in conversation with Richard Clifford Sir Derek Jacobi ‘is an icon of Stage and Screen’ … known for his work at the Royal National Theatre, has a BAFTA, Olivier, Emmy, Screen Guild and Tony Award and to top it all off; Derek was given a Knighthood for his services to theatre by Queen Elizabeth II. Not bad for a boy who grew up in Essex, the son of a corner shop owner and a secretary. From Leytonstone and the Leyton Players to ‘Hamlet’ at the Edinburgh Fringe and a scholarship to Cambridge. With peers such as Ian McKellen and Trevor Nunn; Derek is a founding member of the National Theatre and was invited to be a member of the Birmingham Rep. Derek is an enormous talent with Shakespeare running through his blood and having starred in almost every Shakespearian play, notably in ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Othello’, two of the greats. Six decades and so many big screen favourites… ‘I, Claudius’, ‘Gladiator I’ and ‘Gladiator II’, ‘Last Tango in Halifax’, ‘The Crown’, ‘The Day of the Jackal’, ‘Nanny McPhee’, ‘Gosford Park’ and ‘The King’s Speech’ to mention just a few of his triumphs. And let’s not forget, his audio book work, which includes ‘The Night Garden’ for the BBC children's series another huge hit. There is no doubt that Derek has an incredible body of work . Richard Clifford is an actor and director.
