Jericho’s subsequent unsavoury reputation contrasts with its embrace of cultural icons such as the Pre-Raphaelites\, Thomas Hardy\, Inspector Morse\, Philip Pullman\, and Alice in Wonderland. \n\n\n\nJoin this talk for a journey through Jericho’s inspiring history and discover a unique perspective on Oxford’s ‘dangerously hospitable’ 200-year-old suburb. \n\n\n\nSigned copies of A Jericho Scrapbook: Inside an Oxford Community Saved from Destruction will be available for purchase in the MOX Shop at an exclusive discounted price. \n\n\n\nFurther information \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 (to which all proceeds of the sale of A Jericho Scrapbook will be donated)\, and on the committee of the Alliance of Literary Societies. \n\n\n\nMeeting point \n\n\n\nThere is step-free\, level entry access to the Town Hall via the entrance closest to Carfax Tower (to the left of the main steps as you face the Town Hall).

And 'Rubber Soul' DESCRIPTION:The Dung Beatles: 60th Anniversary of ‘Help!’ And ‘Rubber Soul’\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Dung Beatles: 60th Anniversary of ‘Help!’ And ‘Rubber Soul’\n\n\n\nThe Dung Beatles are regarded as one of the best Beatles bands in the UK and indeed the world. Formed in Aylesbury in 2013 the band has created a big fanbase\, having played extensively in the UK and France. \n\n\n\nThe band played their first Friars gig at the Waterside in March 2018\, playing a set as part of the Earthly Messenger Bowie Statue unveiling concert. A year later in Friars Aylesbury’s 50th Anniversary year\, they headlined the Waterside playing the Abbey Road album in its entirety. \n\n\n\nIn 2022 Friars presented the band at two special sold-out Ukraine benefit concerts in St Mary’s Church\, Aylesbury which raised over £20\,000 for the DEC Ukraine appeal. The Dung Beatles have also played the Beatles spiritual home\, the iconic Cavern in Liverpool\, on two occasions. \n\n\n\nThe Dung Beatles: 60th Anniversary of ‘Help!’ And ‘Rubber Soul’\n\n\n\nThe band is Steve Hillier (guitars/vocals)\, Phil Toler (bass/harmonica/vocals)\, Danny Prendergast (guitars/vocals)\, Mike Ashton (drums/vocals) and Martin Kent (keyboards/vocals). Their joyous live performances\, which feature superb harmonies and attention to musical detail (without any use of backing tracks or programming)\, are the hallmarks of their success. \n\n\n\nThe Beatles Help! album was released in the UK on 6 August 1965 and their Rubber Soul album was released just 4 months later on 3 December 1965. Rubber Soul\, with hits such as In My Life\, Norwegian Wood\, Drive My Car\, Michelle\, and Nowhere Man is regarded by many Beatles fans to be their finest album. \n\n\n\nThe Help album with hits such as Ticket to Ride\, You’ve Got to Hide Yourself Away\, I’ve Just Seen a Face\, Yesterday\, and Help! was part of the soundtrack of the sixties not only in the UK but all around the world. It’s a testament to John\, Paul\, George\, and Ringo that they could write and record two such classic albums in just a few months. They were at the height of their creative powers which established them as the world’s most iconic band of the twentieth century. \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 £18.70 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nFriday 03 October 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nMain auditorium \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Aylesbury Waterside Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAylesbury Waterside Theatre is a stunning modern venue at the heart of Buckinghamshire’s cultural scene. \n\n\n\nOpened in 2010\, its striking wooden interior takes inspiration from the rolling Chiltern Hills\, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

What do you know that everyone else knows? \n\n\n\nAs a cognitive scientist\, the ultimate subject of Steven Pinker’s fascination is how we think about each other’s thoughts\, ad infinitum. This awareness is called common knowledge – and it has a momentous impact on our social\, political\, and economic lives. \n\n\n\nCommon knowledge can make sense of financial bubbles and crashes\, revolutions that come out of nowhere\, the posturing and pretence of diplomacy\, the eruption of social media shaming mobs and academic cancel culture\, and the awkwardness of a first date. \n\n\n\nBut people also go to great lengths to avoid common knowledge―to ensure that even if everyone knows something\, they can’t know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy\, veiled bribes and threats\, sexual innuendo\, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room. \n\n\n\nReturning to How To Academy to explore these paradoxes of human behaviour\, Harvard’s most renowned psychologist will invite us to understand the ways we try to get into each other’s heads – and the harmonies\, hypocrisies\, and outrages that result. \n\n\n\nEvery live ticket includes a copy of Steven’s new book\, ‘When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows…’ (RRP £25.00). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £44.32 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 01 October 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour 50 minutes\, including an interval \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n14+ at the discretion of a parent or guardian. \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nAll tickets will include one copy of Steven Pinker’s new book “When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.

First staged in 1929 and later immortalised by Alfred Hitchcock\, Rope remains a masterclass in suspense\, guilt\, and the dark thrill of danger. \n\n\n\nSet in a 1920s Mayfair flat\, Rope follows Wyndham Brandon and Charles Granillo—two privileged young men who murder a fellow student for the intellectual thrill of it. Concealing the body in a chest\, they host a dinner party with the victim’s father among the guests\, using the chest as the supper table. As the evening unfolds\, tension rises. Will their secret remain hidden\, or will guilt—and a suspicious guest—unravel their perfect crime? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Abingdon Drama Club – ROPE by Patrick Hamilton Poster\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Abingdon Drama Club \n\n\n\nFounded in 1944\, Abingdon Drama Club is one of Oxfordshire’s longest-running amateur theatre groups. Based in the historic Unicorn Theatre\, the club stages a wide variety of productions each year—from classic plays and comedies to contemporary dramas and original works. \n\n\n\nADC is proud to be a creative hub for local talent\, welcoming actors\, directors\, designers\, and technicians of all experience levels. With a strong community spirit and a passion for storytelling\, ADC continues to bring high-quality theatre to the heart of Abingdon. \n\n\n\nA Director’s Vision \n\n\n\nDirector Lee Orchard brings a unique perspective to this production\, having first encountered Rope through a darkly comic homage in the TV series Psychoville\, rather than on stage. “I was instantly hooked by the script\,” they explain. “It’s dark\, twisted\, and full of suspense—everything I love in a play. The characters are rich\, the stakes are high\, and the setting is perfect for our beloved Unicorn Theatre.” \n\n\n\nDespite the challenges of staging a full 1920s flat on a compact stage—complete with a trunk large enough to hide a body—the director is confident: “A lot of thought has gone into the set. It’s tight\, but it works. And no\, we won’t be using a real body!” \n\n\n\nCast \n\n\n\n\nWyndham Brandon – John Hawkins\n\n\n\nCharles Granillo – Darren Fellerdale\n\n\n\nKenneth Raglan – David Fardon\n\n\n\nLeila Arden – Sara Phoenix\n\n\n\nSir Johnstone Kentley – Martin Egglestone\n\n\n\nMrs Debenham – Maria Crocker\n\n\n\nRupert Cadell – Kieran Madden\n\n\n\nSabot – Richard Wilson\n\n\n\n\nA Forgotten Classic Reimagined \n\n\n\nRope is widely regarded as a ‘forgotten classic’ of British theatre. Its enduring appeal lies in its chilling premise\, razor-sharp dialogue\, and psychological complexity. This production promises to be a thrilling night of theatre that will leave audiences questioning morality\, guilt\, and the thrill of danger. \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\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFull price – £15.00 \n\n\n\nConcessions – £12.00    \n\n\n\nTickets are available at The Bookstore\, 15 Bury Street (The Precinct) \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 01 to Saturday 04 October 2025 \n\n\n\nWednesday\, Thursday\, and Friday at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nSaturday at 2:30pm and 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours 30 minutes \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\n\nAll tickets are sold as unreserved seating.\n\n\n\nThere is a group discount for 10+ tickets.\n\n\n\nThe Unicorn Theatre has steps and awkward changes of level throughout.
