Wed 10 February Doors 7pm:
Twelfth Night rehearsed reading, Guerrilla Shakespeare Company
(rescheduled from Twelfth Night)
Shakespeare's funniest play was written purely as a piece of fun -
there are no royal intrigues, no murders, no vast sweeps of history,
just the story of a brother and sister cast up on a hostile shore each
believing the other to be dead; a love story of mistaken identity
Suitable for adults and children over eight
The performance is presented informally, with a mix of professional
and amateur actors, and directed by Dorian Kelly

Matt Simpkins (10pm) + Ensembell (9pm) + Connor Sturges (8pm) + Poetry

‘Paper Explosion’ Workshop
Colchester artist, Lee Thomas, will be completely filling the gallery
space with a paper explosion of 100's of photographs, illustrations,
sketches, prints and drawings taken from his work over the last 15
years. He will base himself within the space to continue to add to and
change this work during the course of the exhibition and will be
inviting the public to contribute to the piece by asking them to help
develop the narratives that form various elements of the work. He will
also be running family workshops on Sunday 14th and Saturday 20th
February, both at 1pm, to add new work to the walls
