My Brilliant Divorce: Thursday 11th September 7.30pm

When Angela Lipsky’s husband has a mid-life crisis and a mid-European affair, she finds herself adrift in a sea of shifty solicitors, a disapproving mother, a series of helpline counsellors and Christmas all on her own.
Bizarre dates, suspect purchases, a near reconciliation with the ex, then a singles ‘away weekend’ in the Welsh Hills brings about a surprise meeting and maybe some hope…..
This achingly funny and heart-wrenchingly poignant play was nominated for ‘Best Entertainment’ at the Oliviers in 2004 after playing a sell-out season in the West End.

Tickets: £16.50, concessions £15.50

 

London Community Gospel Choir: Saturday 13th September 7.30pm

In 1982 a dream came alive as the first concert gospel choir in Britain - The London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC) - was formed. The reputation of the Choir has grown from these humble beginnings. In 2006 they recorded the Official World Cup Song together with the rock band Embrace for the England team in Germany!
Other highlights include recording the soundtrack for the Disney classic “The Lion King”.

Trying to fit LCGC into a neat slot is virtually impossible. They are adaptable, flexible and create dynamic melodies with rich harmonies. Known for their funky gospel flair, swing-beat, R’n’B, traditional and soulful arrangements, with invigorating choreography and vocal gymnastics.
