Bach Walk – Saturday 16 May

In 1705 J.S.Bach walked 250 miles from Arnstadt to Lubeck, Germany, in search of musical inspiration. We are organizing a similar walk but not of such length or time!

The Seagull

by Anton Chekhov in a new version by David Hare

Set in late 19^th century Russia, where people are experiencing change and facing an uncertain future, Chekhov’s great comedy is very relevant today. David Hare’s new version was premiered at Chichester in 2015 and transferred to the National Theatre in 2016 to great acclaim.

The next Shoestring Theatre production is at Stamford Arts Centre at 7.45pm from Tuesday 3^rd to Saturday 7^th March.
