SUMMARY:Milborne Port Opera presents "The Drowsy Chaperone"
DESCRIPTION:MPO leaps into another hit musical – The drowsy Chaperone\, by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison\, directed by Karen Pankhurst.\nLast year MPO proved they could do big musical numbers extremely well. MPO’s next production\, to be performed after Easter in 2024\, is a hit Broadway musical THE DROWSY CHAPERONE\, which carried off 5 Tonys in New York and was nominated for several awards in London and the USA\nIt’s a very funny send up of 1920s Hollywood musicals\, with an implausible plot\, even more implausible characters\, and some great music and dancing from the Jazz age.\nThe entire show is set in the apartment of a slightly sad musical theatre fan who decides to play his favourite LP (the show!) and behold\, it comes to life before his eyes in his own living room.\nThe story concerns a wedding. The Drowsy Chaperone of the title (“Drowsy” is an American euphemism for drunk) has the job of keeping the bride\, a Broadway star who is giving up fame and the footlights to get married\, away from her bridegroom\, an oil heir\, on their wedding day. Needless to say\, she fails.\nThe star’s producer\, one Mr Feldzieg (no relation to the famous Zeigfeld!) is hell bent on preventing the wedding\, as he will be bankrupted following the loss of his biggest star. Several jovial gangsters\, disguised as pastry chefs\, are also trying to frustrate the match. They work for an anonymous third party who has invested a lot of money in the show. They intend to punish Feldzeig if he fails.\nThe plot is further enlivened by the antics of the groom’s Best man\, George (played by a girl)\, a latin lothario\, Adolpho and a wanabee Broadway star\, Kitty.\nMost of the MPO regulars are in the show\, along with some talented newcomers. They are being worked hard by director Karen Pankhurst. This is her second show. She directed last years’ highly enjoyable “Everything Goes” and has featured in several successful MPO productions.

SUMMARY:Stonehenge - we need to talk
DESCRIPTION:Stonehenge is a world-famous monument\, the greatest achievement of our prehistoric ancestors. It has been the subject of investigation and speculation for centuries and\, while science has provided some answers\, there is much that remains enigmatic. \nFollowing on from our very successful day in the Autumn\, which concentrated on Stonehenge itself\, we are now going to turn our attention to its surrounding landscape. Stonehenge is just one part (albeit the focus) of a complex of prehistoric monuments\, some of which pre-date it\, others of which demonstrate Stonehenge’s power well into the Bronze Age. This day will involve three experts who will look at the landscape through differing eyes: \nJulian Richards is an archaeologist who has studied Stonehenge and its landscapes for over 40 years\, conducting the first major survey of the Stonehenge Environs in the 1980s. Julian will examine how our understanding of the landscape has developed over the past three centuries. \nDr Mike Allen is a leading environmental archaeologist who has extensively researched the prehistoric landscape of Wessex. Mike will examine the evidence for landscape change from the post-glacial period onwards and why the environment may have determined the location for some of our most spectacular complexes of Neolithic monuments. \nLuke Winter is one of the country’s leading experimental archaeologists. Responsible for the design and build of the Neolithic houses at the Stonehenge Visitor centre\, Luke will examine the landscape from a prehistoric resource viewpoint\, examining the ways in which it provided for everyday life. \nAfter each presentation there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion and the remainder of the day will allow the opportunity to explore wider issues. This is the chance to ask all those questions about Stonehenge that you have always wanted to ask… \nThe course starts with registration at 10.00am and will finish at 4.00 pm. Tea/coffee will be provided throughout the day. Lunch is not provided and there are no shops or food outlets nearby so please bring a packed lunch. Lunchtime will give an opportunity to explore Springhead’s beautiful gardens. Please note the heating is kept low so wrap up well. \nThe course is strictly limited to 40 participants and early booking is advised. The cost per person is £40 and all proceeds will go towards supporting Springhead’s education aims. \nAdvance booking essential. \nPlease use link below to book your tickets through Ticket Source. \nhttps://www.ticketsource.co.uk/springhead-trust/t-xmjaoky
