My,My,My, Delilah!
CarmenCo Trio
70% music and 30% spoken word, My My My Delilah! is a riotous concert-play in which the Bible's most notorious femme fatale finally gets to tell her side of the story. What really motivated her betrayal of Samson? Was she chasing fame, settling scores, or simply fed up with all that hair?
Packed with virtuosic live music, sharp comedy and unexpected twists, this irreverent tale of rivalry, superstardom, power and vanity features music from some of opera's greatest hits, ingeniously reimagined for CarmenCo Trio's unique combination of flute/voice and two guitars. The new show from the trio behind A Pocket Opera, My My My Delilah! is a witty, exhilarating mix of classical music, storytelling and comedy that audiences won't soon forget
"The musicianship was wonderful. What I had absolutely not expected was that it would be so entertaining as well as dramatic and touching... the story telling was spellbinding"

A Christmas carol
David Mynne
David Mynne, veteran Cornish actor and a founder member of Kneehigh, brings his one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol back to Clevedon as part of its 10th anniversary tour.

In their inimitable style, the team that brought you Great Expectations, Dracula and The Odyssey will now take you on a grim (sort of) journey through the dark, dismal streets of Victorian London.
Dickens’ original words with added silliness. Silliness? Bah! Celebrate the festive season with a mesmerising one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ timeless, transformative story: A Christmas Carol. Bah!
Now with extra Humbug!

doris day(THe girl next door??)
Ministry of Entertainment
Doris Day enjoyed a glittering Hollywood career but behind the glamour lay an entirely different life. All she wanted was a happy marriage, but a succession of husbands beat her, deserted and defrauded her, leaving her penniless. Featuring some of Doris Day's biggest hits sung live, follow Doris's life from teen dancer to worldwide icon. Is she the girl next door or something more?
Written by Bruce Fellows, Doris Day (The Girl Next Door?) features actress-singer Kate McNab as Doris and Mike Akers as the men who 'done her wrong'. Bristol based Ministry of Entertainment has toured theatres, arts centres and village halls across the Southwest for 26 years. 600 shows and thirteen productions later, they are back with their unique style in this high-energy mixture of the hopes, heartaches, husbands and songs from the era.
“One of the great qualities of Bristol’s popular chanteuse is the ease with which she slides into a song. Kate McNab performs with obvious relish and joy, subtlety and flexibility”

Luke Wright
Luke Wright used to think he had the answers. Now he's not so sure.
For twenty-five years, Fringe First winner Luke Wright has been writing poems that wrestle with the world around him. In this new show, he discovers that certainty is rarely as useful as he once thought.
As children grow up, heroes become more complicated and old certainties begin to wobble, Wright finds himself looking again: at the country he lives in, the people he loves, and even those he thought he'd already made his mind up about.
Part poetry, part stand-up Yes. is about changing your mind without losing your convictions – and staying open in an increasingly entrenched world.

mal de mer
Compagnie FRÈRES
There are three sorts of people; those who are alive, those who are dead, and those who are at sea
Aristotle
Si tu vas pas a la mer, tu gagnes rien (If you don’t go to sea, you’ll get nothing)
Numerous fishermen in Marseille/Carro, 2025
Christian is a fisherman within touching distance of retirement; as the sun rises a mile off the coast of Marseille, he and his son-in-law haul in another disappointing catch. Unbeknownst to them, a storm of epic proportions is brewing on the horizon.
Jeanne, Caitlin, Aurora and Solene are four theatre-makers in search of a story. In an explosive, revelatory hour that blurs the boundary between documentary and fiction, they recount the story that swam into their net, merging field recordings, live music and soundscaping, along with the native tongues of their four respective nationalities. Funny, poetic and physical, a whirlwind contemporary Odyssey about fish, family and the end of the world.
Compagnie FRÈRES was founded in 2024 by 5 young female artists from France, Italy, Norway, Ireland and the UK, who met at l’école Internationale de théâtre Jacques Lecoq. In every show, they ask; comment vivre ensemble (how do we live together?)

Pleasure incorporated
Jemima Foxtrot
What would it be like if the oldest profession in the world was just a regular office job?
Drawn from Jemima’s lived experience of escorting in Berlin and as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), this lyrical one-woman play is an insightful, witty and sensitive exploration of one woman’s route to selling sex. Set in the cubicles and corridors of an imagined corporation, bringing together live performance and video art, Pleasure Incorporated is a funny, tender, surreal and compelling examination of Jemima’s search for answers.
Welcome to Pleasure Incorporated. We’re happy to have you here with us on another fine workday.
