Where is Mrs Christie?
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
A drama centred on the real-life mystery surrounding Agatha Christie's disappearance in 1926.
Agatha Christie was one of the greatest thriller writers of all time and certainly amongst the most prolific.
In 1926, she was at the centre of a mystery as perplexing as any of her fiction. Her crashed car was discovered in Surrey and the famous author was missing, presumed dead by many, for eleven days. However, she was eventually found at a luxury hotel in Harrogate. She claimed then, and for the rest of the life, that she was suffering from amnesia and remembered nothing. Neither the press nor the police believed her.
Liz Grand stars in this intriguing one-woman show. Did Agatha Christie lie, and if so why? Did she suffer from amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret involved in this disappearance which was to affect her for the rest of her life?
Tickets cost £14 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.

1001 Moments with Troy Hawke
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
One of the British Fringe Guide Top Recommended Shows of 2017 and 2018. Pure comedy gold!
Society doesn’t have a clue what to do with home schooled naif, Troy Hawke. Equally, Troy is clueless as to how to process what’s going on in front of him. He’s puzzled by so much… the middle aisle of Aldi, the word ‘sick’ as a compliment and being falsely accused of shouting in Poundland.
Troy is on a quest to make sense of it all. A quest that also leads to his involvement in a Liverpool street robbery that made the national news.
As seen on Benidorm (ITV), Live at the Electric (BBC3) and Blue Go Mad in Ibiza (C5).

I, Malvolio
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
“Be not afraid of GREATNESS. Some are born GREAT, some achieve GREATNESS, and some have GREATNESS thrust upon ‘em!” Malvolio
I, Malvolio is the story of Twelfth Night told through the eyes of Shakespeare’s most pent-up steward. Written by Tim Crouch, it is a charged, hilarious and unsettling rant from a man who was “notoriously wronged”.
In this story of lost dignity, prudery, practical jokes and bullying, Malvolio draws his audience into the madness of Shakespeare’s play and makes it his own.
A show for anyone who has ever been told off, called a name or fallen in love with the wrong person!
Tickets cost £12 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or online.

Time: 7.30pm
Orlando: Who is she? Who is he? Who are we?
Find out in the life-affirming, comedic tale of an immortal poet, whose gender cannot be pinned down, whose spirit cannot be caged, and whose irreverent, romantic adventures across British history – from the 1500s to the present day – provide a magic-realist exploration of human identity; personal, sexual and national.
Drawing on a decade’s worth of critically-acclaimed theatre-making, Dyad Productions – performer Rebecca Vaughan and writer/director Elton Townend Jones – explore what it means to find our place in the world whilst remaining utterly true to who we are.
Based on the satirical 1928 novel by Virginia Woolf, this production comes from the award-winning creators of Jane Eyre: An Autobiography, Christmas Gothic, Dalloway, I, Elizabeth, Female Gothic, The Time Machine and Austen’s Women.

David Scheel in Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
A runaway success in London’s West End, this entertaining show is a hilarious send-up of classical music.

His raconteur-style includes hilarious stories of pianos that he has played, accompanied by sharp-edged commentary on the lives of various celebrities and politicians.
“As funny as any, wittier than most, and, uniquely, a concert pianist of international stature...He stands alone, in a class of his own.” - BBC Arts Review
“The only show in town that can satisfy lovers of classical music and comedy alike.” - San Francisco Chronicle
Tickets cost £15 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or online.

Drama Baby by Jamie Brittain
It’s the final rehearsal before the practical exam for A-Level Theatre Studies and two competing groups attempt to achieve the ever-elusive top grade whilst negotiating sex, alcohol and Antonin Artaud. As egos clash and new relationships are formed and broken, Drama Baby goes to the heart of what it means to perform and what it’s like when the costumes and lights are stripped away.
The Changing Room by Chris Bush
This lyrical piece explores what it means to be a young person in the age of digital nativism. Are they teenagers? Are they adults? Set in and around a swimming pool, The Changing Room follows a group of teens full of excitement, impatience and uncertainty, each with their own secret worries and desires.

Forty Five Minutes by Anya Reiss
When a computer error means a group of students are given an incorrect deadline for their UCAS application they take to the school IT suite in a state of sheer panic.

The evening takes a terrifying turn when they challenge each other to sneak into the house, but what is lurking in the upstairs bedroom?

Shanghai: Revolutionary City
Venue: The Green Howards Museum
Time: 7pm to 8.30pm
Museum Director, Lynda Powell explores the role of the men sent to Shanghai to serve British interests.
During the 1920s, Shanghai was crawling with spies, missionaries, political agitators and colonial entrepreneurs. Many countries, including Britain, made lucrative treaties with the Chinese, enabling them to establish trading outposts outside the ancient fortress city, and channel much-needed cash into near bankrupt post-war economies back home. The Green Howards were part of this intoxicating environment.
Tickets are £5 and can be ordered online or by phone.
