Sad Book

About Sad Book

​Adapted from Michael Rosen’s award-winning book, Sad Book is a visually inventive, moving story of navigating complex emotions amid everyday life.

In this personal story of loss, a father explores the disconnection between what we feel, and what we show, and the different ways we deal with sadness.

Sad Book makes the personal universal, retelling the story through dance, and animation with original music.

Developed by 201 and choreographer Andrea Walker, Sad Book is the third production from this dance company described as “a talent to watch” by The Evening Standard.

Directed and choreographed by: Andrea Walker

Angela Barnes: Angst

About Angela Barnes: Angst

Angela is a worrier. Whatever it is, she’ll worry about it. But don’t let that worry you – she’ll worry enough for the both of you.

This hilarious show has some stories of success and sound logic but mostly features stories of unmitigated failure, a distinct lack of wisdom, a little bit of German, and loads of jokes.

Award winning comedian Angela’s last tour Hot Mess received critical acclaim and was filmed as a special available on ITVX. Angela has also appeared on Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, BBC’s House of Games, and is a regular guest on Radio 4’s The News Quiz. Angela also co-hosts the popular comedy history podcast We Are History.

Reviews

“She’s just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight-talking talking and extremely funny comic”.

It is not a little theatre. It likes to make a big noise.

About Shaparak Khorsandi: Scatterbrain

Pygmalion: Presented by Oxford Theatre Guild

Pygmalion

About Pygmalion: Presented by Oxford Theatre Guild

By George Bernard Shaw

Set in the bustling streets of early 20th-century London, Pygmalion tells the story of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, dreaming of a better life. Professor Henry Higgins, a brilliant but arrogant linguist bets he can transform Eliza into a ‘duchess’ by teaching her to speak properly. But as the lessons progress, both teacher and pupil discover that identity and self-worth are far more complex than mere speech and social status.

A sharp critique of the British class system, Pygmalion combines wit, humour, and social commentary, challenging audiences to reflect on the nature of transformation and the true meaning of independence. Known for inspiring the beloved musical My Fair Lady, this play invites you to ponder whether wouldn’t it be lovely if we could all see beyond appearances.

This production by Oxford Theatre Guild breathes new life into Shaw’s beloved play, emphasising its timeless themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and the power of words. Pygmalion promises to be a memorable theatrical experience that captures the essence of Shaw’s work in a way that resonates with today’s audiences.

This fresh and captivating production marks Oxford Theatre Guild’s 70th anniversary of theatre-making in Oxford.

Reviews

“A fun and amusing night out, another example of how important companies like OTG are to Oxford in their compelling and evident enjoyment of their craft”.

Lucy Porter: No Regrets!
2025-04-02 20:00 | The Mill Arts Centre, Banbury, Spiceball Park, Banbury, Oxfordshire, OX16 5QE
Lucy Porter: No Regrets!

About Lucy Porter: No Regrets!

The irrepressible Lucy Porter bounces back into action with a show all about regrets. Frank Sinatra had too few to mention, but Lucy’s got hundreds, and she’s prepared to go into graphic detail about all of them. Disastrous dates, professional calamities, ruined friendships, and parenting fails.

Lucy describes all the mistakes she’s made, works out why they happened, and ponders how her life would have turned out if she’d acted differently.

Lucy looks at the things we might all collectively regret – not sticking to the work-life balance we strove for during lockdown, not realising that clapping for the NHS wouldn’t be enough to save it, allowing people we thought were quite fun on TV to become politicians.

How does regret tie in with guilt and shame? As a middle-aged, middle-class, left-leaning ex-Catholic, guilt is one of Lucy’s top five hobbies (along with going to the garden centre, doing jigsaws, making bread, and watching subtitled foreign dramas on Netflix. She’s also ashamed of all these hobbies.)

It’s not all negative though. If you regret something, you can use it to change your ways: see the thing you regret as your rock bottom, and let it spur you on to become a better person. Lucy looks at how she can use shameful or annoying things from her past to change her future.

Lucy regrets volunteering at the school fete when her kids were younger because now she’s committed to being the Hook a Duck Lady twice a year for the rest of her life. Maybe she could learn to say No a bit more?

About Nathan Carter

Nathan Carter and his Band

He has outsold the likes of Beyonce in Ireland, performed for the Pope, sold out venues across the world; and is one of the most prolific touring artists in the UK. Now, as he releases his new album Music Man, Ireland’s top entertainer Nathan Carter has announced a brand new UK tour!

Nathan Carter

Nathan has released 13 studio albums and 6 live albums, with a sound that traverses pop, Irish folk, country music, and timeless ballads.

With tracks such as Wagon Wheel and I Wanna Dance becoming huge hits, he is one of Ireland’s biggest artists, who has outsold One Direction, Pharrell Williams and Michael Bublé. He also became the first Irish country act to reach number 1 in the Irish charts in 2013 after Garth Brooks, six years before.

His new album Music Man features 11 tracks including the hugely successful single Dance With Everybody and the new song Dear Elizabeth.

Nathan says:

“For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around music. It’s a language I’ve always understood, which started out as a hobby and has grown into a career which I am so privileged to enjoy every day. Thanks to music, I get to wake up each morning to do something that I love and share it with all of you.

It’s a complete love, a total obsession, and has literally dictated the course of my life. I am proud to be a ‘music man’ and think it’s a really fitting title for this album. It certainly sums me up!”

About O2 Academy Oxford
