Hayling Island Amateur Dramatic Society presents

Art


7:30pm, £14 adults (Early Bird: £12)

Written by Yasmina Reza. Translated by Christopher Hampton.

A dazzling comedy of friendship, taste and the fine art of falling out.

This amateur production of “Art” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

What price would you pay for a piece of art? More to the point, what price would you put on friendship? When Serge buys an all-white painting for an eye-watering sum, his friends Marc and Yvan are left gobsmacked. Is it a masterpiece, or a joke? As opinions clash, long-buried tensions and comic resentments bubble up, with explosive, hilarious results.

Winner of the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Tony Award for Best Play and Evening Standard Award for Comedy of the Year, Yasmina Reza’s “Art” (translated by Christopher Hampton) is a modern classic: razor-sharp, provocative and wickedly funny. Prepare for an evening of quick wit and awkward truths, as three old friends discover just how fragile the bonds of friendship can be. Join us this October for this unmissable production by HIADS.

Beatles Bowie & Me with Nicky Horne

7:30pm, £22.50

Veteran broadcaster Nicky Horne - (Boom Radio, Radio 1, Radio 2, Capital Radio, Talk Radio, Virgin, Sky, Channel 4) was uniquely privileged to conduct in-depth and profoundly personal interviews with all four members of The Beatles, and also with the enigma that was David Bowie.

For decades, the recordings of those interviews were lost. But Nicky has now unearthed them and is sharing their remarkable content in an intimate ‘audience with’ style show, where he will talk about these unique encounters, and where the audience will have the chance to ask him questions as well.

Nicky had many conversations with John, Paul, George and Ringo, as well as with David Bowie. But these interviews were not the normal music industry publicity fodder; instead, they were deeply personal and intimate encounters, revealing the thoughts and feelings of the most creative and innovative artists of the day.

You’ll hear the honest and profound emotions around becoming an ‘ex-Beatle’; and get an insight into the complex yet brilliant mind of David Bowie. From speaking to McCartney backstage at a stadium gig to having home-made cookies and coffee with Lennon in his New York apartment, to skinny-dipping with David Bowie in Cape Cod. Expect unique stories that will intrigue and reveal in equal measure.

This is a show featuring The Beatles and Bowie as you’ve never heard them before. It is a ‘must-see’ event for any fan of their ground-breaking music and will give you a unique insight into the minds and characters of these musical geniuses.

Please note: There is a no refund policy on this show.

Ronnie Reggie & Me with Fred Dinenage

7:30pm, £22.50

The definitive insight into the real lives of Britain's most notorious gangsters, from their trusted official biographer. For decades they were feared as the ultimate criminal gang lords of the London underworld, but their reign of terror came crashing to an end when in 1969 both Ronnie and Reggie Kray were given life sentences by a judge at the Old Bailey. Reggie went on to serve decades in some of the toughest prisons in the country, while Ronnie became a patient at Broadmoor with an insanity that was only kept under control by massive doses of drugs.

TV legend Fred Dinenage was chosen by the twins to tell their official story, and he became one of the very few people allowed into their inner circle. Fred gained an unparalleled insight into the real lives of the legendary kings of crime, and in this show, he reveals stories and situations for the first time that have never been told publicly before. Including recordings he made while visiting Ronnie at Broadmoor.

Join Fred in person as he discloses what it was like to venture into some of Britain's toughest institutions and meet the most foreboding twins in criminal history, who other journalists just couldn’t get close to. You'll hear stories that will fascinate and intrigue, while learning about the gritty reality of being a gangster in the criminal underworld of the swinging 60s, from the only man they trusted to tell their tale.

Recommended minimum age: 16+
(Occasional use of profanities when quoting others)

Running times
First half: 60mins
Interval: 20mins
Second half: 50mins

Please note: There is a no refund policy on this show.
