Krapp’s Last Tape

Krapp's Last Tape is a journey through an old man's life, filled with hilarious memories and hopes for the future, coupled with the mourning of lost love and unfulfilled ambition. This production, directed by Academy Award nominee Stockard Channing and starring David Westhead, tours globally throughout 2025/26. Revel in Samuel Beckett's classic play, as audiences are invited into Krapp's world of solitude, memories, dreams, elation, and despair. This touring production has been brought to life in disused function rooms, underground vaults, former jails, and dusty factories. We are transported to a land of joy, sadness, lost ambition, love, madness, and hope. The post Krapp’s Last Tape appeared first on Ropetackle Arts Centre.

Django Chutney

Django Chutney have been described as a virtuosic gypsy-jazz “manouche et trois”, with equal parts due respect for the genre, unruly chaotic energy, and a huge dose of tongue-in-cheek humour. Combining tightly woven three part vocal harmonies reminiscent of 30s and 40s American vocal groups The Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots; ridiculous guitar show-offery that draws as much from Django Reinhardt as it does from Guthrie Govan; Double bass solo’s that drag Pop’s Fosters slap technique kicking and screaming into the 21st century; and a repertoire that’s seemingly firmly rooted in the 30’s Hot Club era, but will suddenly transport you through decades and styles, from New Orleans jazz, to Chicago blues and Parisian musette, effortlessly, respectfully, but most importantly: with true joie de vivre! The Brighton-based trio have been blowing away audiences since October 2021. The post Django Chutney appeared first on Ropetackle Arts Centre.

Unfurling the Creative – Taster Session

An introduction to the restorative and healing power of creative practice. Feel creative but a little stuck or uninspired? Long for more space, calm, or meaning in your week? Believe you’re “not creative” but are curious to explore? This session is run by Louise Durham, Occupational Therapist and glass artist. We’ll explore simple, accessible creative exercises designed to spark playfulness, curiosity, and joy. What to Expect: Each session is built around simple, accessible creative practices — cutting and sticking, tearing and layering, mark-making and printing. Sounds childish? That’s entirely the point. This isn’t about technique or producing impressive work. It’s about creating alongside others without judgement or pressure to get it right. Participants must be at least 16 years old to attend this event. £30. This 2 hr session Includes all materials. Venue: Skyway Gallery at The Shoreham Centre, Pond Road, Shoreham-by-Sea, BN43 5WU4 Tickets available from: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1989993561311…
