In July 1945 Britten and Menuhin gave a series of concerts in the liberated concentration camps. One of their recitals took place at Belsen: in the audience was the cellist Anita Lasker (later Lasker-Wallfisch) who had been transferred there from Auschwitz where she had been a cellist in the women’s orchestra. She later vividly recalled the performance, particularly Britten’s playing: “He was completely unobtrusive and yet I found myself transfixed by him sitting there as if he wouldn’t say boo to a goose – but playing to perfection”. Menuhin also paid tribute to his pianist:
“He didn’t accompany me, I didn’t accompany him, we simply played as one.”
The music performed during these recitals has been pieced together through camp survivor testimony, including that of Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, and is performed in this recital as a tribute to those who lost their lives in the war in the camps, and to those who survived its unimaginable horrors. The versatile Polish violinist Maria Włoszczowska is joined by James Baillieu at the piano for this memorable tribute.

“The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.”
When young Leo Colston spends the summer of 1900 in rural Norfolk, he becomes the unwitting messenger between two forbidden lovers. What begins as an innocent errand soon unravels into a dangerous web of love, loss and betrayal in a summer that is destined to end in tragedy.
Inspired by L.P. Hartley’s classic novel, this bold new stage adaptation is a haunting showcase of the beautiful landscape of Norfolk and the thrilling power of live theatre. With original live music, striking visuals and a powerful sense of place, the quiet intensity and pressures of rural life are brought vividly to life in this new play.
Discover The Go Between and experience a summer that’s impossible to forget.

Poised precisely on the brink, Women On The Edge lies well short of good behaviour.
Charlie Bicknell and Louise Innes take on life, maturity and modern madness in a show which doesn’t just sail close to the wind, but blasts right through it.
A kaleidoscope of songs is peppered with irreverent radio broadcast detours, inevitable surprises and is accompanied by pianist David Harrod and features Solomon Bain. It’s a sharp-witted, funny and deliciously unpredictable evening you’ll struggle to forget.
‘Lean way back in your seat and enjoy the ride.’ Godfrey Smith – The Times

As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century, Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he firmly believes to be the greatest invention of the modern age.
How did a weather forecast for mariners capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire?
Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what all those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact, shares rip-roaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement.
Inspired by Charlie’s bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter of a million copies, this pacy, moving and hilarious show is selling out theatres up and down the land as it takes you all the way from Viking to South-East Iceland. Attention All Shipping guarantees the shipping forecast will never sound the same again.
“Charlie Connelly is one of the funniest people I have ever had the pleasure of sitting in a studio with…He has a natural wit that doesn’t get crushed by an over-zealous ego with a lovely personality attached to it.” Fi Glover, broadcaster
“Charlie is always warm, funny and engaging…I actually sent him a fan letter – and I’ve never done that to anyone in my life before.” Bernard Sumner, New Order
“I can thoroughly recommend an evening spent in the company of the very funny and very lovely Charlie Connelly whose knowledge of what I call ‘the ships’ is excellent. Sou’westers optional.” Corrie Corfield, BBC Radio 4
This performance will finish at approximately 9pm.
