Combining highly charged drama with a truly authentic taste of the fear, camaraderie and passion experienced by the men and women who fought to save their country their families and each other. John Bratby: Everything but the Kitchen Sink, including the Kitchen Sink // 30 Jan – 17 Apr John Bratby was a prolific painter, writer and something of an enfant terrible on the British art scene during the fifties and sixties. Born in 1928, he died in his adopted hometown of Hastings, just a day after his 64th birthday, while walking home from the local chippy. 7.30pm (Thursday and Saturday matinees 2.30pm). Price: from £24.50 Connaught Theatre, Union Place, Worthing BN11 1LG www.worthingtheatres.co.uk / 01903 206206 Supersonic 70s is a sensational six-piece live band featuring the incredible lead singer and ‘Catsuited wondergirl’ Janey Bombshell. Their theatre show which has run all over the country for the last three years will take you on a tantalising trip back to when Pop was at its peak! Rather than create a traditional retrospective of John Bratby's paintings – it is believed Bratby painted over 1,500 works – the Jerwood Gallery launched a rare opportunity for the UK public to shape the style and content of a major gallery exhibition. John Bratby: Everything but the Kitchen Sink, including the Kitchen Sink brings together works that have been selected for the exhibition by an independent panel, and has helped the gallery to rediscover his output and celebrate the talent of the man who put everything but the kitchen sink, including the kitchen sink, into his art. 7.30pm. Price: £18.50 Capitol Horsham, North Street, Horsham RH12 1RG www.thecapitolhorsham.co.uk / 01403 750220 From 11am. Price: £8 Jerwood Gallery, Rock-a-nore Road, Hastings TN34 3DW www.jerwoodgallery.org / 01424 728377 Supersonic 70s // 29 Jan 27
