SUMMARY:Fagin’s Last Hour
DESCRIPTION:Fagin’s Last Hour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Fagin’s Last Hour\n\n\n\nCharles Dickens’ dark tale of crime and punishment is stunningly re-imagined in this multi-award-winning stage adaptation\, recognised by Queen Elizabeth II for its part in Dickensian scholarship. \n\n\n\nTold from the point of view of Fagin\, one hour before his execution\, this unique and powerful one-man show offers a fresh insight into literature’s most controversial villain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“James Hyland has a powerful ability to portray numerous characters… When one actor can emulate an entire cast\, that is a powerful thing!… His acting was raw\, honest\, and profound. This was a brilliantly executed re-imagining of Charles Dickens’s tale” ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nKashmini Shah\, Voice Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n“With his sheer physical presence\, Hyland’s Fagin is more than just the devious and pathetic wretch we are so familiar with\, he’s also dangerously threatening… Intense\, provocative and often downright scary” ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nSimon Ball\, Simon’s Horrible Hothouse of Horror \n\n\n\n\n\n“Compelling throughout. Hyland’s presentation exploits his vocal range and his extreme athleticism… He has an uncanny ability to convince every member of an audience seated on two adjacent sides of a square auditorium that he is addressing them personally… do try to see his performance. You won’t forget it” ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nTom Aitken\, Plays To See \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices:From £18.00 \n\n\n\nMembers:£15.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times:Thursday 06 February 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nAge guidance12+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Mill Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre is the cultural hub for Banbury and the surrounding area. \n\n\n\nAs the only dedicated arts provision in the area\, it aims to inspire creativity and enrich the lives of the communities by providing a high-quality\, varied artistic\, educational and participatory programme. \n\n\n\nIt plays a significant role in the town’s cultural\, social and economic development by offering the community the chance to engage with and be entertained by several art forms. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre offers an exciting live events programme\, including theatre\, dance\, music\, comedy\, film\, workshops and classes.

SUMMARY:Summer 1954 - Table Number 7 & The Browning Version
DESCRIPTION:Summer 1954 – Table Number 7 & The Browning Version\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Summer 1954 – Table Number 7 & The Browning Version\n\n\n\nWritten by Terence Rattigan \n\n\n\nDirected by James Dacre \n\n\n\nStarring Nathaniel Parker and Dame Siân Phillips \n\n\n\nSummer\, 1954. \n\n\n\nThe atmosphere at The Beauregard Private Hotel\, Bournemouth\, is marked by a blend of repressed emotions and post-war gentility. Each of the staff and guests has their own reason for seeking the solace of quiet anonymity but trying to hide from the social and cultural change sweeping over the country is proving impossible. \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, in the heart of the Midlands\, the end of the school term brings to a climax the intrigues\, deceptions\, and lies in the lives of its teachers. The ensuing implosion of classicist Andrew Crocker Harris’s career triggers the collapse of his marriage. \n\n\n\nBritain is changing. Nothing will ever be the same again. \n\n\n\nTerence Rattigan’s one-act masterpieces Table Number Seven (from Separate Tables) and The Browning Version are paired for the first time\, capturing one quietly momentous evening seventy years ago. Together\, they confirm Rattigan as one of the great 20th-century chroniclers of the paradoxes of the human heart. \n\n\n\nDirected by Olivier and UK Theatre Award winner James Dacre(Four Quartets\, The Two Popes and Blue/Orange)\, an ensemble cast will perform both plays\, led by Olivier Award winner Nathaniel Parker and BAFTA winner Dame Siân Phillips. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“A fine production… a handsome double-bill.

DESCRIPTION:Lunchtime Talk: ‘Alice’s Adventures in Oxford’\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Lunchtime Talk: ‘Alice’s Adventures in Oxford’\n\n\n\nAlice’s Adventures in Oxford – Real people as Wonderland Characters (and some who weren’t!) \n\n\n\nWithin the imaginative fantasy of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’ books lie many Oxford realities\, including a number of real people who feature as ‘Wonderland’ characters. \n\n\n\nMany were University acquaintances\, but some were townspeople\, known to either Lewis Carroll or the real Alice (Alice Liddell\, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church). There was ‘one of the thorny kind’\, for instance\, and an eccentric headgear specialist whose dog Alice remembered fondly even when she was eighty years old. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, author Lewis Carroll was friendly with many Oxford families after the publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. His skill as a photographer and inventor of games made him a popular guest\, including at the homes of families whose names live on as the Oxford institutions of Lucy & Co and Mallam\, the auctioneers. \n\n\n\nJoin local historian\, guide\, and author Mark Davies (a trustee of the Lewis Carroll Society) for a talk that will reveal some pertinent\, surprising\, and long-lasting aspects of Victorian Oxford through the curious medium of the world’s most famous children’s story. \n\n\n\nComplimentary tea and coffee will be available to enjoy during the talk. We recommend arriving before the start of the talk if you would like to grab a refreshment. \n\n\n\nSales from tickets help support our work to deliver fun and accessible family activities\, community engagement projects\, school workshops\, exhibitions\, and special events for Oxford’s people in our Museum spaces. \n\n\n\nMark Davies is an Oxford local historian\, public speaker\, and guide. His publications include the social and cultural importance of the city’s waterways (A Towpath Walk in Oxford; Alice in Waterland; Alice’s Oxford on Foot; What a Liberty!)\, historical crime (Stories of Oxford Castle; The Abingdon Waterturnpike Murder) and a biography of the first English hot-air balloonist\, James Sadler (King of All Balloons).  \n\n\n\nHe is a Trustee of the Lewis Carroll Society\, a member of the Society of Authors\, Chair of the Jericho Living Heritage Trust\, and on the committee of the Alliance of Literary Societies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £5.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £1.13 and are available to purchase online or at the Museum shop. \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 12 February 2025 at 1.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Museum of Oxford\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Museum of Oxford is the only museum dedicated to telling the story of Oxford and its people.
