La Traviata (12A)

La Traviata (12A)
‘La Traviata’ is one of the best known operas in the repertoire, with a strong narrative thread at its heart. OperaGlass Works bring something fresh to it, to appeal to lovers of the work and to audiences who have never seen opera before. This is not live capture of a stage performance, it is a movie, filmed on location with a diverse cast of singers and a troupe of magnificent dancers. An ensemble full of character and wit create something that is traditional, truthful and quite different.La Traviata is a tragic tale about Parisian courtesan, Violetta, who meets the romantic aristocrat Alfredo. Finding herself in love for the first time, she abandons her frivolous lifestyle to be with him. Happiness is short-lived: the hypocrisy of upper-class society threatens their love – and she pays the ultimate price.
Starring Susana Gaspar, Thomas Elwin, Roderick Williams. Produced and directed by Selina Cadell and Eliza Thompson.

The Big Christmas Assembly 2025
What began as a few playful social media videos of James performing iconic school songs for his students quickly turned into a nationwide sensation. These videos resonated deeply, tapping into nostalgic hearts across the UK and sparking the creation of Primary School Assembly Bangers. Since early 2023, James has brought this live school-assembly experience to stages nationwide, with viral performances at Glastonbury Festival.
James’s journey has taken him from school classrooms to some of the UK’s biggest stages. Highlights include performing with Gareth Malone’s Voices at the Royal Variety Show and providing vocals for major artists like Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, and Electric Light Orchestra. His media presence has only grown, with appearances on BBC Breakfast, The One Show, CBBC Newsround, BBC Scotland, ITV’s This Morning, BBC Radio 2 with Jeremy Vine and Scott Mills, and Virgin Radio with Tom Allen.

After years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend.

Making A Killing (14+)

SoundCellar & Swanage Jazz Festival present SoundCellar 5

Making A Killing (14+)
2025-11-12 19:30
Making A Killing (14+)
The ropes are ready, the crowd is waiting, and the hangman has a new apprentice. When Claus Kohler is apprenticed to Frantz Schmidt, Nuremberg’s seasoned executioner, the two men are thrown together in a world where duty, morality, and power collide, and every decision leaves a mark. But as the gallows fill and suspicion takes root, their fates become dangerously entwined, until both must decide who they are, and which side of the rope they stand on. Performed by just two actors, Making a Killing is a razor-sharp, dark comedy about justice, corruption, and the cost of survival in a world disturbingly like our own. Bold, biting, and impossible to ignore, the play takes inspiration from The Journal of Master Franz Schmidt, Public Executioner of Nuremberg, 1573–1617. A remarkable historical record that lays bare the humanity and contradictions of a man who killed for a living.
Running Time: 1 hour and 50 minutes (Not including Interval)Suitable for ages 14+ (Contains mature content)
Please note that our lift will be undergoing maintenance for this show and will not be available to use

NT Live: Mrs. Warren’s Profession (encore screening)
by Bernard Shaw
directed by Dominic Cooke
Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
