Fluff

About Fluff

It’s time for Fluff to do the ultimate puzzle… her life.

But Fluff hates puzzles; especially word searches. She can never find the words and doesn’t understand why there’s a half-eaten birthday cake and a woman who keeps visiting her room.

As she navigates her way through her most treasured and darkest memories, Fluff desperately needs to piece together her life; story by story, person by person. This darkly comedic play explores memories and the choices we make in life.

Winner of the Best Theatre Production at the Buxton Fringe 2024, alongside awards for Best Performance and Best New Piece at the Birmingham Fringe 2023. The non-linear plot line allows the audience to feel, firsthand, the devastating effects of dementia, by joining Fluff in her journey to uncover her life’s memories.

Fluff is proud to be supported by the Arts Council England, W3RT, Alzheimer’s Society, Trauma Breakthrough UK, and Herts Musical Memories.

The Count of Monte Cristo
2025-03-06 19:30 - 22:00 | The Theatre Chipping Norton, 2 Spring Street, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, OX7 5NL
The Count of Monte Cristo

About The Count of Monte Cristo

Alexandre Dumas’ celebrated novel is a favourite of readers all over the world, but it rarely makes an appearance on our stages or screens. And certainly never like this… So join 3 intrepid actors in this fast-paced and furiously funny retelling of the greatest revenge tale ever told.

The year is 1815. France is divided, Napoleon plots his return to power, and humble sailor Edmond Dantes is living a simple honest life. Or so he thinks. Betrayed by those who know him, and accused of treason, Edmund is imprisoned in the depths of the prison island The Chateau D’If. Forsaken and forgotten, he begins to weave an intricate web of vengeance.

Expect revenge, redemption, and a whole load of ridiculousness as all 1200 pages of French epic are stuffed onto the stage in this brand-new comedy adaptation. Bringing to life the original jailbreak story… probably… I mean it’s fairly old.

The Count of Monte Cristo is an epic tale of vengeance, redemption, and how far one man will go for justice.

About Josh Berry: Best Man

Josh Berry: Best Man – The Stand-Up Show about Modern Masculinity

It’s clear what toxic masculinity is, but what does positive masculinity look like in a modern context?

Josh Berry intends to provide some sort of answer to this question, through his many impressions and characters, as he tells the tale of being his best friend’s best man earlier this year. From routines on how to organise a ‘progressive stag do’, to the amusing difficulties men seem to face around positive emotional expression, the show is an opportunity for us to have a ruddy good laugh at a concept that could do with being taken a bit less seriously.

There’s also a routine about how much Josh hates runners and refuses to become one.

N.B. Josh has since entered a half marathon.

Blossoms

About Blossoms

Blossoms are back due to popular demand after their sell-out Ribbon Around the Bomb show in November 2022.

Blossoms will play their only UK date in the first three months of 2025 in Aylesbury as a special one-off warm-up date for their Australian tour with Kasabian.

Blossoms

Their latest album Gary went straight to No 1 in the UK album chart in the first week of release on 27 September 2024. This was the band’s fourth UK No 1 album the other three being Blossoms (2016), Foolish Loving Spaces (2020), and Ribbon Around the Bomb (2022).

The band from Stockport are Tom Ogden (lead vocals) Charlie Salt (bass), Josh Dewhurst (lead guitar), Joe Donovan (drums), and Myles Kellock (keyboards).

When Tom was asked by the Manchester Evening News in August 2024, what the best Blossoms gigs to date have been, he answered “It’s always the random ones that stick in your mind….the band’s Pyramid Stage set at Glastonbury 2017 is a highlight, Edgeley Park as well and the random nights in Hull and Aylesbury.”

At the 2022 Friars date, they were awarded with Friars Aylesbury Heroes awards which they have referred to several times in their famous pubcasts which consist of hilarious banter between the band members. They did one pub cast from one of the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre dressing rooms wherein they voted the Waterside as No 1 for ‘best showers of the tour’. They have referred to Friars Aylesbury as a ‘Boss Gig’.

On Friday, October 25 they appeared on The Graham Norton Show playing Gary from the new album. Gary is an 8-foot fibreglass gorilla that went missing from a Garden Centre in Scotland. One of Gary’s brothers can be seen at Aylesbury’s Hartwell Nursery in Stone! Who knew?!

About O2 Academy Oxford

The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.

Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.

The Darkness 2025 – Dreams on Toast

About The Darkness 2025 – Dreams on Toast

Legends of rock, The Darkness, have returned to bedazzle and amaze once more as they serve up their eighth studio album Dreams On Toast via Cooking Vinyl in March 2025.

A lavish display of sonic delicacies, Dreams On Toast is a dynamic dish packed full of sure-to-be hits. This is no better demonstrated than with the lead single The Longest Kiss out today (September 18th). An upbeat pop classic that tips its hat to the ’70s pop genius of both Queen and Paul McCartney, it finds The Darkness dancing across jaunty piano keys and frolicking guitar licks in irresistible top form.

The Darkness 2025 – Dreams on Toast

Not only will Dreams On Toast feature arguably their best collection of songs yet, but The Darkness will also be hitting the road next March for their largest headline tour of the UK in years, solidifying their status as one of Britain, and indeed the world’s, most important rock bands.

Support comes from Northern Irish indie-rock heroes Ash, who first supported The Darkness on their legendary Permission To Land Tour over 20 years ago.

Punk Off – The Sounds of Punk and New Wave

About Punk Off – The Sounds of Punk and New Wave

Not many musical explosions define a generation and change music forever. There was Rock and Roll in 1956, Beatlemania in 1963, Flower Power in 1967, The birth of Rock in 1970 and then there was… Punk and New Wave.

Between 1976 and 1979 the music world and popular culture were turned upside down as bands, musicians, and fashion adopted a new and fresh ‘DIY’ approach to making music and expressing itself. From its birth in New York City to its adolescence in London and onto its maturity across the globe, Punk and New Wave is most definitely the music that defined a generation.

Punk Off – The Sounds of Punk and New Wave

For the first time, all the hits, attitude, and fashion are brought to the stage by this incredibly talented cast of musicians, singers, and dancers that will take you on a rollercoaster ride you will never forget.

Kevin Kennedy, best known for his role as Curly Watts in Coronation Street and his stage career including We Will Rock You and Rock of Ages on the West End, will be lending his extraordinary talents as narrator of the show.

Featuring hits originally performed by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blondie, The Damned, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Sham 69, The Undertones, Tom Robinson Band, Ian Dury and The Blockheads, The Police, The Jam, Generation X, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Pretenders, Joy Division, The Stranglers, The Rezillos, and many, many more, Punk Off – The Sounds of Punk and New Wave is the stage show not to be missed.

Jack Savoretti UK Solo Winter Tour 2025

Jack Savoretti UK Solo Winter Tour 2025

About Jack Savoretti UK Solo Winter Tour 2025

Following his most recent single ‘l Don’t Understand It’, a sold-out summer tour, the largest ever sold-out shows outside the UK, collaborations with Italian legend Zucchero and Australian pop royalty Natalie Imbruglia, Jack Savoretti releases Bada Bing, Bada Boom featuring the formidable Miles Kane (The Last Shadow Puppets).

Over the past years, Jack Savoretti has taken the male singer-songwriter genre in a direction entirely of his own. As he has evolved from the guitar-picking troubadour that caught the attention of Hollywood’s music supervision community early on in his career to more recently the chart-topping arena-selling crooner, he manages to avoid every pigeon-hole thrown in his direction.

Jack Savoretti UK Solo Winter Tour 2025

Now with his 8th album ‘Miss Italia’ he continues to forge this singular path. While few artists manage to make an 8th album, even fewer do so in a different language and to such critical acclaim. In the words of The Times, ‘Jack sounds like an Italian Joe Cocker.’

‘Miss Italia’ came at an important moment in Jack’s life, as his Italian father had recently passed away. Jack explains; “My father was the anchor that tied me to Italy, the connection to my roots that I felt I was at risk of losing without him. So I went back to school. I didn’t want to imitate Italian music, I wanted to make it my own, combining everything I had learned over almost 20 years of experience from working in America, England, and Italy, merging Anglo-Saxon singer-songwriting with Italian to create something unique. I first had to learn to write in Italian before making MY album in Italian‘.

For an artist who has been making and selling millions of albums for over sixteen years, Jack’s reputation as a singer-songwriter is perfectly epitomised by the kinds of collaborators he attracts, previously including cultural icons the likes of Bob Dylan, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Nile Rodgers among many others. Now, Miss Italia begins a new chapter in this distinguished career.

Hard Truths

About Hard Truths

Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns to the contemporary world with a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us.

Reunited with Leigh for the first time since multiple Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way.

Meanwhile, her easygoing younger sister, played by Michele Austin (Another Year), is a single mother with a life as different from Pansy’s as their clashing temperaments – brimming with communal warmth from her salon clients and daughters alike.

This expansive film from a master dramatist takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty, and the most enduring human mysteries: that even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.

”Mike Leigh’s latest is a scorchingly funny drama of depression, rage – and love.” ★★★★

Art of Andalucia | FLAMENCO DANCE

About Art of Andalucia | FLAMENCO DANCE

‘Art of Andalucia’ by Daniel Martinez is a flamenco concert featuring his music, renowned dancers, and musicians, offering an immersive Andalucian cultural experience.

Following the success of his first two productions, which have captivated over 80,000 audience members across the UK, Ireland, and Germany in the last two years, Daniel Martinez returns with a new show that places flamenco dance at the forefront.

‘Art of Andalucia’ shifts the focus entirely to the art of flamenco dance, offering audiences an immersive experience where the dancers take centre stage, bringing the passion and energy of Andalucia to life. If that weren’t enough, Daniel will also perform new pieces from his highly anticipated third album.

One of the stars of this production is the world-renowned dancer Angel Reyes, a key member of Manuel Linan’s company and the second dancer in Jesus Carmona’s company for many years. Angel’s impeccable technique, skill, and fiery passion will captivate and mesmerise, elevating the performance into an unmissable cultural experience. His powerful presence and artistry bring an electric energy to the stage.

Joining Angel is Gabriela Pouso, the principal dancer of the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company. Gabriela has played an instrumental role in the company’s success, performing on some of the UK’s most prestigious stages. Her performances are filled with elegance, grace, skill, and intensity, showcasing her remarkable technique and drawing audiences in with every movement.

The dancers will perform original compositions by Daniel Martinez, created specifically for this show. The performance is further enriched by the incredible vocals of Inma Montero and Danielo Olivera, and the rhythmic pulse of percussionist Julian Ticotico. Together, they create an unforgettable night of flamenco, where music and dance are perfectly intertwined.

‘Art of Andalucia’ is a celebration of flamenco dance, a vibrant journey into the heart of Andalucia, where the tradition and passion of flamenco are brought to life through stunning choreography and powerful performances.

By Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen
