About O2 Academy Oxford

About Little Women

Popular Shropshire-based Hotbuckle Productions are bringing their latest adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s ‘Little Women’ to theatres and venues across the country this Summer.

After last year’s successful tour of ‘Pride and Prejudice’, Hotbuckle is back with its unique style of adaptations of classic novels. The virtuoso company has been entertaining audiences for many years with their inventive interpretations of familiar texts. Previous productions have included, Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Wuthering Heights, David Copperfield, and Les Misérables, as well as Jane Austen’s Persuasion and Emma.

The beloved classic novel ‘Little Women’ by Louisa May Alcott is the next novel to be given a Hotbuckle make-over in a new adaptation by Adrian Preater. Written in 1868, it has received several movie adaptations as well as television series, plays, radio dramas, and musicals. One of the most iconic American novels ever written, it continues to be a source of inspiration due to the exploration of girlhood, family, and female ambition.

Hotbuckle is renowned for its fast-paced, multi-role-playing adaptations which cross age and gender traditions, and their latest offering promises to keep true to their style as we are invited to enter the world of The March sisters. Their journey from adolescence to adulthood is navigated through skillful characterization and imaginative staging, as Hotbuckle explores family, love, loss, and the challenges of growing up.

With a touch of highly acclaimed Hotbuckle humour and fast-paced storytelling, 19th Century Massachusetts will be brought to life as you’ve never experienced before!

About Aled Jones – Full Circle

Prepare to hear Aled Jones as you’ve never heard him before.

He was the boy treble who captivated the world with his angelic voice. Selling over seven million albums, Aled was the original, classical crossover star. His recording of Walking in the Air, from the animated film The Snowman, firmly established him as a household name and he has become an integral part of the nation’s festivities.

Equally at home on the classical stage, or starring in musical theatre productions in London West End, his credits include lead roles in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.

As a singer, Aled is in demand globally and has performed in the world’s most iconic venues, from London’s Royal Albert Hall to the Sydney Opera House. A favourite with the Royal Family, he even gave a private performance to King Charles III in Kensington Palace.

He is an award-winning television broadcaster and radio presenter who’s interviewed hundreds of A-List stars over the years. He heads up BBC’s Songs of Praise and his own Saturday and Sunday morning shows on Classic FM.

Now, after 40 years in the business, he’s looking back on a remarkable career with a one-man show, that will feature never-before-heard music, tales from the decades, and for the first time, his story told in his own words. It’s time to come Full Circle.

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.

Bach 1725
2025-05-07 18:30 | Sheldonian Theatre, Broad Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1 3AZ
Bach 1725

About Bach 1725

A unique celebration marking 300 years since the composition and first performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s 1725 Ascension Day Cantata Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein.

This momentous occasion also marks the arrival of Bach’s rare original manuscript of the cantata, bequeathed to the Bodleian Library, one of only four of the composer’s manuscripts in the UK. This colourful cantata for orchestra, chorus, and soloists was written for its first performance on Ascension Day in May 1725.

Three hundred years later, it is the center-piece of a celebratory concert exploring Bach’s compositions from this post-Easter period in 1725, alongside a newly commissioned piece by Judith Weir and student compositions inspired by Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein.

World-leading Bach scholar and performer John Butt directs the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Choir of New College Oxford, whose director Robert Quinney has used his extensive knowledge of the manuscript to prepare the choir for this performance.

The manuscript, a tangible link to the past, will be on display in the Weston Library, Bodleian Libraries.

Presented by the Cultural Programme at Oxford University and the Bodleian Libraries.

FLAMENCO: Grisha Goryachev

FLAMENCO: Grisha Goryachev

About FLAMENCO: Grisha Goryachev

Hailing from St. Petersburg, Russia, Grisha Goryachev is renowned for his extraordinary talent in both classical and flamenco guitar. Beginning his musical journey at the age of six under the guidance of his father, Grisha quickly emerged as a child prodigy.

By nine, he was already performing in prestigious concert halls across the Soviet Union, captivating audiences with his technical brilliance and emotional depth.

His early success led to international recognition, including second prize at the Danny Kaye International Children’s Awards and high-profile performances at the United Nations and for the Royalty of Iceland.

Grisha’s passion for flamenco deepened during a transformative tour of Spain, where he was invited to play for flamenco legend Paco de Lucía. Impressed by Grisha’s artistry, de Lucía personally supported his application for an American visa for “Extraordinary Ability,” enabling him to share his unique blend of flamenco and classical guitar with audiences in the United States.

Grisha’s dedication to his craft earned him the Best Performance of Spanish Music at the VI International Classical Guitar Competition “Julian Arcás” in Almería, Spain.

Now based in the U.S., Grisha is one of the few guitarists committed to reviving the tradition of solo flamenco guitar, a practice once mastered by legends like Ramón Montoya and Sabicas. His repertoire, which includes more than six hours of flamenco solos transcribed entirely by ear, showcases his ability to blend the precision of classical music with the fiery passion of flamenco.

Grisha’s performances are not just concerts; they are a journey through the rich history and vibrant soul of flamenco.

Mark Steel - The Leopard in My House
2025-05-07 20:00 | Oxford Playhouse, Beaumont Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1 2LW, United Kingdom
Mark Steel – The Leopard in My House

About Mark Steel – The Leopard in My House

Join multi-award-winning, BAFTA-nominated writer and comedian Mark Steel for his new tour The Leopard in My House. The topic? His battle with throat cancer. A battle he is winning (thankfully) and which only his rapier wit could fashion a comedy tour show out of.

Cancer has done nothing to dull Mark’s acute political observations or quash his “frankly bonkers” energy: you will laugh, you will cry, but you’ll laugh again, and again, and again. The Leopard in My House is proof that this leftie, working-class, Radio 4 favourite truly deserves his place in the UK comedy pantheon.

Mark is best known for his critically acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show Mark Steel’s in Town (now in its 13th series), as well as his hit podcast What The F*** Is Going On..?. He has also written several acclaimed books, including an adaptation of his critically acclaimed stand-up show Who Do I Think I Am? for Audible.

While parenting teenagers, bogged down with knicker admin and considering dealing HRT on the black market, Kerry’s lost her mum bag but can’t remember what was in it as she’s outsourced her memory to her phone. The life of a middle-aged woman who hasn’t got the bandwidth for any of this.

Kerry Godliman, comedian, actor, writer, podcaster, and broadcaster, returns to the stage with her straight-talking charm and quick wit on a brand new stand-up show.

As seen on Afterlife, Whitstable Pearl, Taskmaster, Trigger Point, Live At The Apollo, and more. As heard on Radio 4 and Jon Richardson’s Absolute Radio Show.
