The Railway Children - Tuesday
2022-12-06 19:30 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | Blackmore Theatre, 10 Bicton Street, Exmouth, EX8 2RU
Mike Kenny’s imaginative stage adaptation of E. Nesbit’s much-loved children’s classic.
Famously filmed, this story of a prosperous Edwardian family – mother and three children – forced into near-penury in the rural north of England captures the anxieties and exhilarations of childhood with great tenderness and insight.
As Mike Kenny says of his remarkably faithful adaptation, ‘You don’t need a real train to perform this play… the most powerful prop is the imagination of the audience, the most effective tool the skill of the actors.’ So this version of The Railway Children, which offers three plum roles for young performers, is eminently suitable for schools, youth theatres and drama groups – anywhere, in fact, where the cry of ‘Daddy! My Daddy!’ is likely to provoke a tear.
Mike Kenny’s version of The Railway Children was first staged at the National Railway Museum in York in 2008, before receiving a major production at Waterloo Station in London in 2010.

Murder, Margaret & Me - Monday Evening
2023-03-06 19:30 - 22:30
Philip Meeks – full-length, dark comedy
Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie didn’t want Margaret Rutherford to bring her fabled spinster to life. And Margaret Rutherford was mortified at the prospects of sullying her reputation with something as sordid as murder…
This is the story of the real reason why the acting legend and “the funniest woman alive” didn’t want to take on the role that made her celebrated across the world. Margaret and Agatha form an unlikely friendship filled with high tea, brandy snaps and gossip. Meanwhile Agatha turns detective herself and she’s on a mission. She’s determined to unearth Rutherford’s tragic and shocking secret.

“Lady of the house Speaking”
When Hyacinth Bucket, everyone’s favourite social climber, hears that the part of Lady Melvern is yet to be cast in a murder mystery play for the local amateur dramatic society, nothing will stop her from taking this role. The director, long-suffering neighbour Emmet, has other ideas.
Much to Hyacinth’s dismay the cast mainly consists of her family – sister Daisy and her husband Onslow and her lusty sister, Rose. Daddy is of course a problem from start to finish, causing continuous mayhem throughout.

“A bloody war is brewing. Kate’s forbidden from seeing her daughter and granddaughter with no legal access. Liz can’t escape hers. Bev’s opted out. Powerful storytelling exploring entitlement, cancel culture and a world where family is everything.”

Exmouth Shanty Men highly praised by AI chatbots!
Ever keen to keep abreast of any technology that might assist us at sea, we thought we would delve into the topical world of Artificial Intelligence and so asked one of the latest much talked-about AI chatbots to describe us.
This is what it said (and we could not have put it better ourselves …)
“The Exmouth Shanty Men perform a variety of sea shanties, from traditional songs to modern ones. They have released numerous albums and have toured extensively throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. They are known for their energetic performances and ability to get the audience involved. The Exmouth Shanty Men are a passionate group of musicians dedicated to keeping the tradition of sea shanties alive. They are a joy to watch and listen to, and always put on a good show“
