SUMMARY:Diary of a Nobody
DESCRIPTION:Mr Pooter is a man of modest ambitions\, content with his ordinary life. Yet he always seems to be troubled by disagreeable tradesmen\, impertinent young office clerks and wayward friends\, not to mention his devil-may-care son Lupin with his unsuitable choice of bride. Try as he might\, he cannot avoid life’s embarrassing mishaps. \nBased on an 1892 novel by brothers George and Weedon Grossmith\, the bumbling Pooter has become an enduring comic character in a book that delivers a searing satire on the snobberies of middle-class suburbia – one which also sends up late Victorian crazes for spiritualism and bicycling\, as well as the fashion for publishing diaries by anybody and everybody. \nThis one-man show\, brought to you by theatre group ‘Don’t Go Into the Cellar’ and starring award-winning actor and writer Jonathan Goodwin promises to be a highlight of St Mary’s SS25 season. \n“Don’t go into the Cellar never disappoint. Over the last few years they have brought a range of productions to our theatre and all have been well received. Jonathan always throws his heart and soul in to the show. He is a wonderful actor and storyteller and is able to bring every character alive.” The Heron Theatre\, Milnthorpe. \n“It’s always a pleasure to work with Don’t Go into the Cellar. Their innovative\, compelling performances always sell out and delight our audiences.”\nLeeds Library Bar \nPrice\nAdults £12.00\nU18 £8.00 \nBooking\nBook online → \nDoors open at 6.45pm. Performance begins 7.30pm. All tickets carry a small booking fee shown at time of purchase.

SUMMARY:An illuminating tour of St Mary’s Church
DESCRIPTION:with Tess Pike\, Blue Badge Tourist Guide\nPutting the Kirk in Kirkby Lonsdale: the Minster of the Lune? \nThe early story of Kirkby Lonsdale’s Parish Church is lost in the mists of time\, but one thing is certain: when Norse Settlers arrived in the 10th century\, there was already a church on the site. The earliest fragments of evidence may be Saxon\, and stones from earlier buildings will certainly have been reused when today’s church started rising on the site from the early 1100s onwards. \nWhen you enter the church\, you can’t fail to notice the impressive\, decorated piers at the west end\, or the strikingly beautiful window at the East End. \nJoin Tess Pike\, Blue Badge Tourist Guide\, on a guided tour of St Mary’s to see the church in a new light. \nPrices\n£5.00 \nTickets\nBook online → \nAll tickets carry a small booking fee shown at time of purchase\nAll proceeds from this event are donated to the preservation of St Mary’s. \nPart of Illuminate Festival of Ideas\, 8-23 February

DESCRIPTION:Ruth & Keith’s recipe for Devilled Eggs: A dash of verse\, a teaspoon of suspense and dollop of fun! \nWelcome to the Dakota Guest House! The most glamorous B&B this side of Burnley/Blackpool/Insert town here! Let your hosts\, Roman and Prudence flip through their guest book of the famous and the infamous. Expect stories of celebrity and notoriety\, from their heyday as the B&B to the stars to their present-day haven to the bizarre. \nThe Dakota is the spirit of Variety; every room is a character with a tale to tell\, an act to perform or a song to be sung. Comedy\, tragedy and mystery are resident guests here. Like The Devilled Eggs it serves\, this show is hearty\, hilarious and homely…but with an extra touch of spice.\nFrom acclaimed theatre makers Black Liver\, Devilled Eggs is their latest two-hander play about a guest house over the span of a one night stay (breakfast included). \nLike the eggs The Dakota serves at breakfast\, this show is fresh\, cheeky… but devilishly spicy! There will be sketches\, songs and stories\, a mixture of comic characters and heart-breaking stories\, satirical songs and poetry\, alongside audience interaction as the characters chat and confide in the audience.
