Tom Crean Antarctic Explorer Written & performed by Aidan Dooley
One of the few men to serve with both Scott and Shackleton and survive the three famous expeditions: Discovery (1901-04), Terra Nova (1910-13) and Endurance (1914-16), Tom Crean is one of Ireland’s unsung heroes. His 36-mile solitary trek to base camp during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue two comrades has been described by historians as ‘the finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration’. His story, a riveting testament of human fortitude against all the elements of the Antarctic, is brought vividly to life with charm and humour in this multi award-winning performance. Winner of The Scotsman Fringe Awards 2006; Best Actor Nomination, Dublin Fringe Festival; Best Solo Performance Award Winner, New York International Fringe Festival.... ‘This magnificent revelation of a fascinating character simply compels a standing ovation’ The Irish Times.... ‘An unparalleled portrayal’ New York Times.... ‘You will go to the end of the earth to find theatre this rewarding’ The Australian.

The Dorothy Squires Story Play & cabaret performed by Gerri Smith. Pianist: Ian Thomas
Play written by Mark Ryan & directed by Gareth Gibbs. One of the greatest singers of our time, Dorothy Squires began her glittering career at the age of 16 when she was hired to sing with Billy Reid’s band. Their subsequent partnership took them to the top and earned them a fortune. At the height of her fame, Dorothy met an unknown actor named Roger Moore, and put her own career on hold to help him make it in America. The play encompasses their tempestuous marriage and highly publicised divorce (she sued him for restitution of her conjugal rights – and won!), her electrifying performance at the London Palladium in 1970, and how she came to end her days poor and homeless. Like Dorothy Squires, Gerri Smith was born in Swansea. She is known internationally for her appearances as Vera Lynn and for her one-woman cabaret, Bird's Eye View. Her work as an actress includes television, film, radio and stage, and she is a director of the pre-eminent murder mystery company, Murder on the Menu.

Playing Burton Performed by Josh Richards with post-show talkback
Written by Mark Jenkins Directed by Guy Masterson One of the most powerful actors of the 20th century, rarely out of the papers for three decades and famously married to Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton appeared to waste his talent, squander his millions, and drink himself to an early death. But the real Burton, little Richie Jenkins, was known only to a few. Josh Richards reincarnates both actor and myth in a profoundly moving performance directed by Burton’s great-nephew, Guy Masterson. ’An exceptionally powerful and darkly haunting performance... It's faultless, riveting, brilliantly charismatic and peerlessly acted.’ The Scotsman .... ‘So bloody brilliant it's right off the scale!’ BBC Radio Scotland ... ‘An unforgettable distillation of the essence of Burton's uniqueness. A shattering portrayal!’ Daily Mail Trained at the Welsh College of Music and Drama, Josh Richards has a huge range of TV, film and theatre credits, including the RSC, Theatr Clwyd, Northern Broadsides, Hull Truck Theatre Company, Almeida Theatre, etc. Mark Jenkins is one of Wales's leading writers of theatre and film. Playing Burton is the most successful new Welsh play of the last 25 years, with over a thousand performances on three continents. Tickets £6 from Newbury Building Society (Hungerford) |

Truly Yours, C.B. The Story of Charlotte Brontë Written & performed by Alison Neil - Directed by David Collison
This enthralling and moving play recreates a life as remarkable as any novel. Determined, brilliant and romantic, Charlotte managed – despite her background and all the constrictions of early Victorian life - the incredible feat of becoming a hugely famous novelist, and the instant success of Jane Eyre, Shirley and Villette found her mixing with the literary giants of the age. Former West End actress Alison Neil has written and performed several highly-acclaimed one-woman shows (including The Sixth Wife which she performed at HADCAF last year). She is also an historical researcher and writer for such large-scale events as the VE Day Celebrations in Hyde Park and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Pageant.
