Welcome . . .Comedy, Theatre, Music, Haverhill Arts Centre has it all!Starting with comedy: from September our regular Comedy Nights make a come back, hurrah, with a gamut of top comedians; TV face Mark Steel visits Haverhill for the first time in December and Puppetry of the Penis makes a welcome return with a new mind (and body) bending show. Someone who enjoys a good old moan, Dillie Keane from Grumpy Old Women (BBC2) plays Angela in My Brilliant Divorce.
When it comes to theatre there is a gripping insight into the personal worlds of Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots, a spirited orphan wants some more and Kate is shrewish in one of Shakespeare’s comedies. For budding culture vultures there’s the story of The Big Ugly Monster and the Little Stone Rabbit, (featuring the voice of Rik Mayall) and a children’s show with a Caribbean Carnival atmosphere.
The iconic Marty Wilde ensures the musical season starts with a bang and is swiftly followed by London Community Gospel Choir, Whole Lotta Led and those eternal cheeky chappies Chas ‘n’ Dave. Jan Akkerman and Gareth Pearson are real life guitar heroes (not just on the games console) and jazz singer Tina May gives tribute to the little sparrow, Edith Piaf.
Some things, like the outstanding Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers defy easy classification and some like Panto are in a class of their own! This year we’ve King Rat to boo at and Dick Whittington to root for.
