On Wednesday the 29th of September 2010
19:30	Highlights Rural Touring Scheme present Charity Shop Cabaret - Trifle Gathering Productions The Charity Shop Cabaret is a mixture of cutting edge theatre and old school cabaret. The show invites you on a hilarious journey into Elspeth Garter’s charity shop: a welcoming world of rummage and romance, jumble and joy, bingo and the bizarre. Not having had a customer for eight months, Elspeth and her trusty volunteers (Marion Startright and Leonard Barlin) fill their days with high energy dance routines, titillating tea ceremonies and absurd frugal tips for frugal times – all set to the classic sounds of vintage vinyl resident DJ (Friedo) “Fantastically funny and surreally absurd from start to finish. Go and see and fall in love.” Western Morning News - 2009	01833 628373	Part of 'A Night Less Ordinary' free theatre tickets for under 26s scheme.
On Wednesday the 03rd of November 2010
19:30	Highlights Rural Touring Scheme present The Wife of Usher's Well - Quondam Theatre The Wife of Usher’s Well is a modern retelling of the famous supernatural ballad – the warm and engaging story of a soldier son’s supernatural return to his mother for one last night together. It’s a piece of musical storytelling theatre about a timeless situation, set here in modern times, as mother and son fight to say the things they always meant to say. As Karen fights to keep the truth from her ghostly son, they relive moments from his childhood, including favourite Border stories: The Wizard’s Apprentice, Thomas the Rhymer and The Three Craws. These are retold in different performance styles with music and song by a Quondam’s talented cast of four.	01833 628373	Part of 'A Night Less Ordinary' free theatre tickets for under 26s scheme.
