A dustbin, a homeless lady and an extra-ordinary tale of courage

It’s bin collection day and our two heroic waste collectors Max and Ola are racing to make up lost time. But what’s this? A dustbin that refuses to release its contents! What could be attached? It’s Doris, the dotty old lady who lives in the park. A struggle ensues as she clings onto her possessions.  But every bin has a silver liner. So, when the pair of refuse loaders realise that ‘one man’s trash is another woman’s treasure’, an amazing trove of wonderous tales recycle their way out of the rubbish.  

Rhubarb Theatre, known for their imaginative styles of storytelling, perform their latest bin-full of fantasy for all the family. Prepare for joy and sadness, laughter and tears & surprises around every corner. Dustbin Doris is waste-deep in theatrical play, puppetry, mask, dance, song and lots of laughter.

‘Dustbin Doris’ is “fun for all the family” from age 5yrs+

About this show

During the 80’s and 90’s, Dire Straits were one of the biggest music brands and concert touring bands in the world. Still today, Mark Knopfler remains one of the most beloved guitarists in modern Rock. Their biggest album, Brothers in Arms, released in 1985 still sits in the top 10 of the best selling albums in chart history. “dS:uK…in tribute to Dire Straits” began touring in 2016 and have quickly become regarded as the quintessential tribute band among Dire Straits fans with their incredible attention to musical and sonic detail. To say that “dS:uK” sound like Dire Straits is an understatement.

Their 2020 “Brothers in 85” tour pays tribute to the worldwide Brothers in Arms tour, with the band bringing fans the ultimate 1985 Dire Straits experience and all of those classic songs that you want to hear. Here comes Johnny singing oldies goldies…. it’ll truly give you a shiver in the dark! Don’t miss it!

Formed in 2015, dS:uK have quickly established themselves as one of the foremost touring tribute shows in the UK. As huge, lifelong, fans of Dire Straits - their attention to detail is unsurpassed, their authentic sound un-matched and their passion for Dire Straits' music is felt in every corner of the room. dS:uK's show is a show with fans firmly in mind. The band entice their fans back year after year with differing shows that hit the nostalgia bone hard. Whether it's their "Alchemy Tour" (tributing the Alchemy album), their "Brothers in 85" tour (tributing the Brothers in Arms world tour) or the "On anoTher Night" tour (tributing the final On Every Street tour) - there is always a reason to see dS:uK each year across the world.

The Alan Barnes All Stars Octet presents “Copperfield”

With Alan Barnes on saxophone, clarinet and bass clarinet, Bruce Adams on trumpet, Mark Nightingale on trombone, Robert Fowler on saxophones and clarinet, Karen Sharp on saxophones and clarinet, David Newton on piano, Simon Thorpe on bass, and Clark Tracey on drums

 Like the Dickens classic itself, Alan Barnes’s “Copperfield” has something for everyone. A great night out that is also a treat for the jazz connoisseur; it will delight anyone who loves music or literature – or just being entertained!

This new suite of pieces, touring for the first time this year, takes the audience through the characters and scenes of ‘David Copperfield”.  Readings from the original Dickens tell the story, and after each scene eight virtuoso musicians bring the characters and scenes to life, switching audiences from hilarity to pathos with a skill that would have done credit to Dickens himself!

A cheery clarinet plays Copperfield, the lost orphan Little Em’ly is a lyrical tenor, Mr Dick flies his kite in the personage of a soaring flugelhorn and trombone, Mr Micawber expresses “Something will turn up!” on the piano and Uriah Heep writhes around on the bass clarinet. Just as we see David progress through the trials of his life, so the movements of this suite seem to develop along with him.

The music and readings inspire the full range of Dickens’s imagination and emotion: from loneliness and remorse through to love and then irresistible joy.  

“Barnes is a true Dickensian.  He is a serious reader of the novels.  It is a clear blunder of providence that he was born too late to appear in their pages!” Hot News.

Paul Merson is an English football television pundit, former professional footballer and manager and recently one of Harry’s Heroes!

After making his debut for Arsenal in the 1986-87 season, Merson went on to play eleven seasons with the North London club. While with the Gunners, Merson was a key player in the club's success - winning the Football League Championships twice, the FA cup, the Football League Cup and the European Cup Winner’s Cup.  He went on to play for Middlesbrough, then Aston Villa, where he went on to become club captain and played for the team in the 2000 FA Cup Final, the last to be held at the original Wembley Stadium. In 2002, he signed for second-tier Portsmouth and captained the club to the First Division Championship and promotion to the Premier League. A year later, he returned to the West Midlands with Walsall, where he went on to serve as player-manager.

Merson was capped 21 times for the England national football team and represented the nation at the 1992 UEFA European Championship and the 1998 FIFA World Cup. 

Since hanging up his professional football boots, Merson can be found joshing with his ‘Soccer Saturday’ colleagues as match reporter and regular pundit for Sky Sports; and recently starred in Harry’s Heroes: The Full English on ITV.  He has been very open about his struggles in the past with alcoholism, gambling and addiction.

We can look forward to an evening of lively anecdotes and stories from Paul Merson about his life and career. A truly unmissable experience whether you’re an ardent football fan or not!
