16 strings, 8 dancing feet and 4 voices with one aim: to make classical music wickedly funny and fantastically exhilarating for everyone, young and old. Graffiti Classics bursts the elitist boundaries of the traditional String Quartet with its hilarious all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy show. It’s a classical concert, a gypsy-folk romp, an opera, a stand-up comedy set and a brilliant dance show – all rolled into one! Graffiti Classics never fails to get audiences laughing, clapping, and singing along. It’s an uplifting and virtuosic variety of musical styles, all tied together with cheeky audience interaction. Graffiti Classics grew from graduates from London’s top musical conservatoires whilst street-performing in London’s Covent Garden. They decided that classical music should be made fun and inclusive for everyone, creating a unique virtuosic comedy show.
“A delightful comedy string quartet…. highbrow music finds fusion with visual comedy for those who choose to smile their way through classical music.” The Stage

SUNDAY 13th OCTOBER, 7.30pm

Emma will take you on a journey looking at what ingredients of possibility lead to body counts by killers like Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Paul Knowles. What creates a serial killer, and could anything have prevented their potential being activated, or were they simply born to kill?
Emma specialises in victimology, but she is mostly known in the media for presenting crime shows including Britain’s Darkest Taboos, Lady Killers, and The Killer in My Family. Emma has presented over 70 Crime shows analysing some of the most heinous crimes both here in the UK and the States, exploring what makes a killer, and why some people can be born into seemingly normal families, brought up without fear, or abuse, yet still choose a murderous path.
The Lion & The Unicorn
FRIDAY 18th OCTOBER 7.30pm
On the evening of 13th October 1939, six weeks after war has been declared on Hitler’s Germany, Winston & Clementine Churchill meet with Neville & Anne Chamberlain, for a private dinner.
Prime Minister Chamberlain has seen all his efforts to negotiate peace with Hitler shattered, whilst Churchill has been recalled to the cabinet, his dire warnings of the Nazi threat vindicated.
History tells us this was the only time the four ever met alone together socially, and there is no official record as to what transpired during that unique evening…
From the pen of Robin Hawdon (God and Stephen Hawking, A Night In Provence), this compelling new play is by turns epic and intimate, dramatic and moving, and never less than enthralling throughout as it asks the question, how far should one go to pacify a threatening dictator?
Presented as a radio-play-live-on-stage with sound effects and a cast of seasoned performers, you will be transported back to wartime London as Crime And Comedy Theatre Company bring to life the first ever production of this fascinating new drama.
…Star Casting to be announced…
