EVENTS

Elegant Entertainments // 14 Aug

Anthony & Cleopatra // 16 Aug

The year is 1831 – Henry Adams,
gentleman, cordially invites you
to join him at the esteemed Royal
Pavilion Banquet Room to enjoy
a truly Elegant Entertainment.
Listen as he engages with you in
refined and agreeable conversation
about the splendid seaside
town of Brighton. Hear about its
wonderful attractions, such as the
principal Baths, The Maze and the
magnificent gardens and cricket
ground, and delight in the delectable
gossip of the day – told with the
utmost discretion of course! All
accompanied by delightful sampling
of Georgian snacks and drinks in
the Red Drawing Room. Principally
Mr Adams will prepare you to attend
the most fashionable of balls by
guiding you through the steps of some of the most simple of dances
in the magnificent Music Room and, in doing so, bring your dancing to
perfection. Miss Heyrick will accompany the dances exquisitely on her
recorder.
Informal and improvised roleplay by four Georgian enthusiasts,
interacting with and responding to the group, allowing the audience
to gain a thought-provoking and entertaining insight into the Georgian
period. Georgian-style attire is welcome but not essential.
6.30pm and 8.30pm. Price: £40 (includes authentic Georgian-style
food and drink)

The epic and timeless conflict
between love and duty, personal
and private, old and new. In a
tense and turbulent election,
politician Marc Antony stands
precariously close to becoming
Prime Minister. To succeed,
Antony must balance his duty as
a statesman and his own private
affairs while under the constant
scrutiny of the persistent press.
All this to him is meaningless
however, without the love of the tempestuous Cleopatra. Unmasked
Theatre return to present this re-imagining of Shakespeare’s classic text
set in a fiercely political and press-driven world.
3pm. Price: £7

some interesting facts along the way, then come to the Under Ground
Theatre on Saturday 22nd August. Local author and puppeteer, Richard
Robinson, will be showing a collection of experiments designed to make
science fun. If your children constantly ask you questions that seem
unanswerable such as: Why does the toast always land butter side down?
Why is ‘black’ sometimes actually ‘white’? How can a bottle blow up a
