Napoleon (15)

A look at the military commander's origins and his swift, ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine.

Napoleon is a spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, played by Oscar®-winner Joaquin Phoenix. Against a stunning backdrop of large-scale filmmaking orchestrated by legendary director Ridley Scott, the film captures Bonaparte's relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his one true love, Josephine, showcasing his visionary military and political tactics against some of the most dynamic practical battle sequences ever filmed.

Ashton Hayes Theatre Club

The Curious Incident of the Dog in The Night-Time

Remaining faithful to Mark Haddon's novel of the same name – which received no less than 17 literary prizes world-wide, the stage version of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has been delighting audiences around the world since its highly acclaimed debut at The National Theatre in 2013.

Marking the play's tenth anniversary, award-winning Ashton Hayes Theatre Club is excited to be bringing the full production to its own audience.

As the play opens, Christopher, fifteen years old, stands beside Mrs Shears' dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion.

Determined to discover the real culprit, he records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington.

Although the text does not explicitly state that he is on the Autistic Spectrum, Christopher has an extraordinary brain. He is exceptional at maths, while everyday life presents some barriers. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road; he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. So, when he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbour's dog, he decides to discover who the real culprit is.

His investigations take him on a journey that upturns his world – played out in a life-affirming odyssey that explores family relationships, friendships and what it means to be "different" in a neurotypical world.

The play is suitable for ages 11 upwards and has frequently been the subject of English GCSE courses.

Tickets priced from £9,00- £12.00 available online here

If you knew my story, your heart would break too...

1825. A young woman, arrives in London. She is full of hope and ready to embrace a fresh start. However, she soon finds herself as 'the leading lady in drama she can't comprehend.' The gaslighting is subtle, the manipulation slick. Can Miss Havisham discern her fate? Or is she destined to relive the devastation of her trauma?

Havisham offers a fresh perspective of Charles Dickens' greatest work of Gothic characterisation – Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. Miss Havisham is the embodiment of stuck trauma and malignant rage.

But how did she arrive at this place and what are the tragic secrets of her calamitous past...?
