Caught in the Net
By Ray Cooney
Directed by Jacki Reed
The sequel to the hilarious 'Run For Your Wife' by that master of farce Ray Cooney finds our bigamist taxi driver, John Smith, still running two families atthe same time, and keeping them blissfully unaware of each other. However, his teenage children - one boy and one girl by each wife have met on the internet and are determined to see each other, especially as it seems they have so much in common - same surname, taxi driver dad of the same age etc...
When John realises that they are about to meet he enlists the aid of his long-suffering friend and lodger Stanley Gardner. He is just about to go on holiday with his old father who turns up thinking he is already at the guest house. The situation obviously gets increasingly out of hand as John busts a gut juggling with the truth.

Snake in the Grass
By Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by Sharon Kelly
Miriam has devoted her life to caring for her father during his ailing, bad tempered last years with the help of Alice, a nurse. When he dies he leaves the bulk of his wealth to another sister, Annabel who had lived in Tasmania for a long number of years. When she returns to claim her inheritance the sisters must face up to the tensions this causes and their long buried childhood memories. Things darken further when the nurse begins to blackmail the sisters and, as night begins to fall across the garden in which they played as children, we begin to wonder if it is only the past which has come back to haunt them.
A 'Ghost play', (the author's words) which offers plenty of black humour and spine-tingling horror.
Wednesday 11th October Local History AGM

Cartoon Controversies, Press Freedom
and Freedom of Expression
Artsmill, Hebden Bridge
Workshop leader: Granville Williams (Huddersfield University & Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom)
Want to know more about Vicky, Herblock, Zec or Low? Who are the contemporary cartoonists who ruffle the feathers of politicians? To accompany the cartoon exhibition, Misunderestimating the President, in the Artsmill, Hebden Bridge this workshop explores the work of some of the great political cartoonists, both historical and contemporary.
The emphasis of this workshop is very much on debate, discussion and clarification. To what extent should we defend the right of cartoonists to cause offence? Is it legitimate to exclude certain topics from cartoons? What impact can the work of cartoonists have?
You are invited to bring along examples of cartoons which you love, hate or think should never have been published, and an open mind.
A ‘workshop’ suggests there is a practical outcome or product at the end of it. We can discuss and agree what that might be amongst the participants on the day.

Secret Diary of Adrian Mole
By Sue Townsend
Directed by Jenny Gore
Based on her own best-selling and much loved book Sue Townsend recreates the world of Adrian Mole dramatically. He is entering the world of teenage 'growing pains', worried about spots and girls whilst his parents are having affairs with their neighbours.
Feeling unloved and uncared for, continually bullied by Barry Kent, Adrian tries to find comfort in seeking after the unattainable Pandora and performing 'good deeds' with visits to the outrageous pensioner Bert. Will he get his girl? Will his parents ever love him or will he always have to rely on his dog for affection?
Townsend creates a great deal of humour as she explores the world of teenage angst and Adrian's melodramatic misunderstandings of it. With plenty of foottapping songs this makes for a great night outfor all ages.

Abigail's Party
By Mike Leigh
Directed by Vaughan Leslie
Suburbanites, Lawrence and Beverley, are entertaining their new neighbours to drinks. Also joining them is Susan, seeking refuge from her daughter Abigail's first teenage party. The evening's initial good-will and fatuous small-talk gradually gives way to rising tension as cracks show in Lawrence and Beverley's relationship -to darkly comic effect!
A recent revival of Mike Leigh's play, at the Hampstead Theatre, garnered rich praise, and was variously described as 'brilliant and hilarious', 'a timeless comic delight' and 'a portrait of a suburban hell'.

An Evening in Palestine
7.00 pm on Sunday 12 June
at the Hebden Bridge Trades Club
Palestine is a country which is hard to enter and, if you are Palestinian, even harder to leave. Blockaded and controlled and subject to continual violence from Israeli occupation forces, the Palestinian people nevertheless maintain a dynamic culture. We would like to show you something of this culture by film, music, food and Palestinian products.
The films include:- An award-winning trilogy by the ISM activist Osama Qashoo
- Short films made this year by the Balata Camp Media Group inside the occupied city of Nablus
In addition there will be Palestinian music recently recorded inside the country, handicrafts, a sale of Palestinian olive oil plus Palestinian food.
Entrance is free. Donations will be welcome
THE COLLECTORS
- New Work by Andrew Livingston & George Morris
Wed 9 February - Sun 20 March 2005
ArtsMill Gallery
Linden Mill, Linden Rd, Hebden Bridge
Open: Wed - Sun, 11am - 4pm
Entrance Free
For further information telephone 01422 843413
Following the success of their last collaboration in 2003 - "Paintings Inspired by the Music of Frank Zappa" - George and Andrew's latest exhibition takes a sideways look at the obsessive world of collectors and their collections. However, their collectors are a little more bizarre than usual - from acid flashbacks to noxious gases, from little green men to fantastic creatures.
The exhibition features 19 works which includes paintings and sculpture.
Surreal, bizarre, humorous and quirky - another contemplation of the human condition!
George and Andrew have been working collaboratively since 2001 but this is the first time they have worked jointly on work since "Couch Potatoes" produced for the 2003 Sculpture Trail at Hebden Bridge.
