The Georgian Theatre Royal Youth Theatre - Scary Play and Mobile Phone Show
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
The Tuesday and Saturday Georgian Theatre Royal Youth Theatre Middle Classes perform a double bill.
Scary Play by Judith Johnson
The twins are having a birthday sleepover; as night draws in, the group attempts to scare the living daylights out of each other. Kal recounts the legend of a local house, said to be haunted by the ghost of a strange old lady who once lived there. The evening takes a terrifying turn when they challenge each other to sneak into the house, but what is lurking in the upstairs bedroom?
Mobile Phone Show by Jim Cartwright
A communication cacophony, a fully charged chorus line of chaos in a rhapsody of text, tweet and gabble. Jim Cartwright wrote Mobile Phone Show after spending time with young people who explained the significance of their relationships with their phones. With 80% of school age children spending on average 90 minutes a day on their phones, this challenging play explores the vital messages they can send.
Tickets cost £9 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or online.

A Small Family Business
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
RADS presents this popular work by Alan Ayckbourn.
When Jack, honest and upright, takes over as MD of the family furniture business, he expects to improve efficiency. But his managerial skills are no match for the wholesale fraud, deceit and theft which he uncovers in both the business and amongst his family. He soon has to succumb to blackmail because of his daughter, and this is only the first in a series of moral compromises he will have to make. Jack and his family unwittingly find themselves on a path from simple misdemeanours to murder.
Alan Ayckbourn’s riotous exposure of entrepreneurial greed won the London Evening Standard Drama Award for Best Play.
Tickets cost from £7.50 to £13.50 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or online.

GeorgeFest19 - The Dramatic Exploits of Edmund Kean
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
This captivating one-man show celebrates one of the most unique talents that British theatre has ever produced.
Written and performed by award-winning Royal Shakespeare Company actor Ian Hughes, The Dramatic Exploits of Edmund Kean charts the rise and decline of the great 19th Century actor.
Following years of hardship as a strolling player, Kean was catapulted to stardom following his performance as Shylock at Drury Lane in 1814. Quickly becoming the most popular actor of his day, Kean electrified his audiences with his performances of Shakespeare. Yet within a few short years, Kean’s increasingly erratic behavior, fuelled by drink, ensured audiences remembered him for all the wrong reasons.
Ian spent over a decade at The Royal Shakespeare Company. He was the winner of the 1st Ian Charleson /Royal National Theatre Award for Best Actor presented to him by Sir Alec Guinness. His many TV appearances include Dr. Who, Robin Hood, Shakespeare & Hathaway, Torchwood, Alienists, Ransom, Gavin & Stacy, Mutual Friends and Stella.
Tickets cost £14 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.

Ardal O'Hanlon - The Showing Off Must Go On
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 8.00pm
An evening of stand-up comedy with Ardal O'Hanlon - star of Death in Paradise, Father Ted and My Hero.
Ardal continues to tour his acclaimed stand-up shows worldwide. Why? Because he loves it. And it’s a compulsion. And the world is a funny place.
In an age of raging populism, MeToo, identity politics, the end of truth, the collapsing middle ground, peak avocado and £15 gin and tonics, and terrified of being on the wrong side of history, and desperate to prove that his gender, race, age and class don’t necessarily define him, Ardal is forced to saddle his high horse again and ride fearlessly into the culture wars (with a white hankie in his pocket just in case). This is comedy, as ever, being the best emergency response mechanism to extreme events there is.
Age recommendation 16+
Tickets cost £16 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.

Uncle Vanya
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
Experience Chekhov's tragicomedy in a bittersweet, multi-disciplinary new adaptation of this classic text.
Isolated and seemingly beyond help, the weary inhabitants of one country household plunge head over heels in lust when a beautiful stranger arrives.
As the owner announces the estate sale for his own gain, the strains of repression and a chaste rural life begin to bubble among the hard-working occupants, until Vanya himself hits a palpable boiling point.
Theatrical Niche's acclaimed physical theatre team collaborate with international artist Lily Hunter Green, creating a unique showcase of art intertwined with this Russian masterpiece of desperation and the undeniable need for affection, at all costs.
This is an unmissable production of Chekhov's witty observations on the irrational human heart.

We hear the story of the murderous landlady of one of the former inns on the old road into Nidderdale, then return along a lovely upland bridle path with fine long-distance views. There are a couple of short, sharp climbs but the walk is otherwise on gentle grades.

Barb Jungr: Bob, Brel and Me
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
Barb Jungr is "one of the world's great cabaret singers" (Time Out New York).
Her reputation may have gone to her head, as she will now only sing songs by writers whose names start with the letter B. But this means she can return to two colossi of popular song, whose writing has helped define her whole career. A good plan, because she is "one of the best interpreters of Jacques Brel and Bob Dylan anywhere on this angst-ridden planet today” (Village Voice).
In this brand new collection for 2019, Barb will turn her acclaimed ability at reinvention and reinterpretation to exploring her relationship with a set of Dylan and Brel songs she has never tackled before on stage or on disc, all in original arrangements.
“the alchemist among jazz singers… electrifying… the top rank of jazz singers… she is truly a marvel, who should not be missed” The Telegraph

Time: 9.00am
Walk 7: High Fells Challenge 2 – Leg 2 – Lovely Seat – 10 miles hard
Starting from the tiny Hamlet of Sedbusk we climb the cobbled Shutt Lane up Smooker Hill and soon emerge onto the peat moor. The Shooting Track takes us up to the top of White Beacon Hags, aptly named as we enter the largest peat bog section of this year’s walks. The route to the top is fairly well used but tricky if we get a wet summer. Lovely Seat, at 2,214ft, has fine views over Wensleydale and its tributary valleys, and tomorrows challenge, Great Shunner Fell. If we are lucky the fine stone seat will still be there for photos and selfies. A short drop takes us to the unfenced Buttertubs road which we follow briefly before a short climb back up Pike Hill and a good track back to Sedbusk.

This walk is always popular due to its special access to the MOD Feldom Ranges land, rarely walked, a mixture of heather moorland, scattered woods and deep cut valleys. This is an Army training area, not otherwise known to the rambler, and rich in archaeological remains, including a fine Hill Fort with impressive views to the northern dales; and some of the best cup and ring stones in the area.

Join staff from the Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust on a pleasant circular Walk and Talk from the village of Marske. Starting from the beck, which we leave behind us for a while, we will take a short but relatively steep climb up Telfit Bank, to be rewarded with magnificent views as we walk along the escarpment. After an opportunity to take a break at Helwith Tea Garden for refreshments the walk re-joins the beck, finishing with a gentle stroll back across fields and through woodland. There will be plenty of pauses to talk about local features and wildlife, and hopefully a chance to see some river wildlife during the walk.

Time: 9.00am
Walk 10: High Fells Challenge 2 – Leg 3 – The Shunners
After the diabolical weather last year, we have been asked to repeat this walk so you can see what last year’s group missed! We start in the pretty hamlet of Hardraw, famous for its pub, waterfall and band festival. The ascent of Great Shunner Fell is long and relentless but brings its reward with the highest mountain of this year’s Challenge at 2,349ft. Straddling Swaledale and Wensleydale, on a clear day you can see all the High Fells we will have visited on both last year’s and this year’s Challenge. Little Shunner is a pimple by comparison leading to the start of the descent at Fossdale Moss. The return down the valley beside Hearne Beck is lovely, although sadly most of the wild flowers that thrive here in summer will be over. If you have time and energy after the walk a visit to Hardraw Force waterfall is well worth the small charge.

Descending towards the River Ure we cross over the Wensleydale Railway, a heritage line which will transport us back from Redmire Station. We can admire Bolton Hall, the present-day home of Lord Bolton before following field and woodland paths to view his earlier, less comfortable, castle home before catching the 15.55hrs train back to Leyburn.

Starting from Keld we set off down the limestone gorge passing through the lead mining archaeology around Crackpot Hall and into Swinner Gill. This steep sided valley takes us up to the ridge at High Stone Man, from where we walk up the shooting track to Rogan's Seat at 2,205ft. No stone seat here but fine views of the extensive grouse moors and lead mining waste. We head out over the peat hags, and maybe some bog, onto Water Crag at 2,192ft. If clear we will see the Tan Hill Inn, at 1,732ft, in the distance, and walk past the old Coal Mines (The Tan) to reach its welcome refreshment. We will drag ourselves away to head down the Pennine Way back to Keld.

We repeat a very successful special interest walk from last year, but with an extension to Ravenseat and the possibility of a tea-break at the farm owned by the Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen. Field barns and other historic buildings are a characteristic feature of the Yorkshire Dales and particularly so in Swaledale. Starting from Keld this walk across the upper dale focusses on some of the buildings, their previous uses and historical setting, and the memories which local people have of them, whilst of course enjoying all the wider aspects of this world class landscape. We head for Angram and walk via Black Hill and High Bridge to Ravenseat, before returning via Cotterby Scars to our starting point.

Against a backdrop of evocative images, the band also demonstrate their versatility with occasional forays into acoustic classical music and folk-based music from the 70s and 80s.
As always, their performance will be full of audience engagement and humour. This is a fascinating, feel-good evening of music, not to be missed!

Andy Parsons: Healing the Nation
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 8.00pm
An evening of stand-up with Andy Parsons, as seen on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, QI and repeated on Dave.
“It was 24th June 2016 and I found myself contemplating a supermarket meal deal. I only wanted a sandwich and I only needed a sandwich but given that I could get a snack and a drink for only 5p more it seemed financially irresponsible not to. I had spent so long pondering the EU Referendum result from the day before that I was now in a massive rush. The lad on the till scanned the first two items, no problem, but the third item he couldn’t get to scan at all. I thought this is going to be a nightmare – there was a queue building up and he looked like he was going to call the supervisor. Then to his credit, he tried to scan it one more time, it wouldn’t scan – so he went ‘bip’ himself and chucked it through. And it was at that moment I thought ‘oh we’ll be alright as a country we will’.
And we will be alright. Trust me. I’m not a politician.”

Crimes on the Coast
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
A secluded island hotel just off the English coast becomes a crime scene, as a scandal-inducing femme-fatale is felled.
All the guests on the island are suspects, but are they alone and is all quite what it seems?
Multi-award-winning theatre company New Old Friends present Crimes on the Coast, a comedy thriller by Feargus Woods Dunlop and directed by James Farrell (Associate Director - The 39 Steps, West End). The show enjoyed a sell-out national tour in 2018 (under previous title Crimes Under the Sun) and hits the road again in 2019 featuring four actors playing multiple outrageous characters, and a plot that romps along in the company’s trademark inventive style.
Inspired by Agatha Christie, Noel Coward and PG Wodehouse, you are invited on an hilarious but murderous trip to a classic English Riviera retreat.

Time: 7.30pm
A stage adaptation of George Eliot's acclaimed novel.
Wrongfully condemned and outcast from society, a poor weaver, eaten up with bitterness and anger, becomes a doomed miser and recluse, until he is forced to take in a young orphan girl. Their mutual friendship leads to joy, love and his redemption.
Silas Marner, the great Victorian epic novel, is thrillingly and theatrically brought to the stage by the renowned Conn Artists Theatre Company in the bicentenary year of George Eliot’s birth. The heart moving action, set in the early years of the 19th century, is performed by an ensemble cast of seven actors accompanied by music and songs of the period.
“...does the production...faithfully capture the cumulative effect of the novel’s chains of incident and commentary? The answer is that it does.” Financial Times
Supported by The Arts Council and presented by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd. Directed by Nick Young
Tickets from £11 to £16 are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.

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.

Suzi Ruffell - Dance Like Everyone's Watching
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 8.00pm
Popular stand-up comedian Suzi Ruffell takes to the stage. Come and see what all the fuss is about!
Suzi Ruffell has made a name for herself by turning tragedy and anxiety into big laughs. This year she is actually happy. This show answers the question: are all stand-ups at their best when they are miserable? Fingers crossed no!
Of course, the world is still completely messed up – so don’t worry, it won’t be too joyous. A mix of storytelling, observations, a dash of social politics and a lovely routine about a smear test. This show has everything!
The last twelve months have been massive for Ruffell: a smash hit UK tour; heaps of television appearances, including: Live At The Apollo, Hypothetical, 8 Out Of 10 Cats; and she has learnt how to make the perfect lemon cake.
“Ruffell’s new show could hardly be any better” The Guardian
“The Raconteurish Ruffell is a hoot” The Telegraph
“On the cusp of stardom” Evening Standard

Antiques Valuation Event
Venue: The Station
Time: 10.00am - 3.00pm
Top antiques expert David Elstob will be hosting a free valuation day at The Station for all your antiques, fine art and collectables.
David is one of only a small number of auctioneers in the country to be recognised as a RICS Chartered Arts and Antiques Surveyor; a rare distinction that puts him firmly into the industry’s elite. Having held senior positions at premier auction houses in the region, now runs his own business with his wife Beth, a leading jewellery consultant and valuer.
Elstob & Elstob is based at Bedale Hall in Bedale and aims to provide a focal point for buying and selling high-quality antiques, fine art and objects of distinction. The couple are joined by a team of specialists who have previously worked at high-end institutions including Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonhams and Doyle in New York.
This free valuation day provides an ideal opportunity for people to find out more about a whole range of contemporary or antique objects, including silver, ceramics, glass, pictures, sculpture or other collectables.
While there is no obligation at all attached to the valuations, anyone wishing to sell an item will be given the option to have it included in the next auction at the Bedale saleroom.
For more information about Elstob & Elstob’s valuation services, sales or the event at The Station, please call 01677 333003.

The Body Snatcher
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
The Body Snatcher is an unnerving experience inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s hair-raising horror!
Something is rotten in the town of Inglenook.
Sour milk, unread post, dogs howling day and night, the locals are vanishing...seemingly into thin air.
As fear haunts the remaining few, a young scientist is disturbed by a noise underground.
It’s the sound of terror, and it’s getting louder.
Live action, music and storytelling combine in a tale of mystery, morality, and science unhinged.
No body is safe...
“What this company can achieve in a theatre space is astonishing!” Manchester Evening News
Tickets cost from £11 to £16 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.
