The second in our occasional season of Studio sessions is '5th August 1986" a development performance of a new theatre piece by Ryan Curtis and his company.

The 1980’s was a decade of excess, colour and of course great music. The 5th of August 1986 was particularly important for two young people, as this was the day they met, fell in love and started their life together. A life that brought them two children, many challenges and now, in 2024 on the brink of divorce. Seemingly, the only thing that may save their marriage is the top ten chart from the day they met. So please, come join us on a journey to explore the music of that week as they explain what the songs that they loved back then really meant. Hint, its not what you may think!

The doors open at 19.30, when the lucky audience are treated to thirty minutes of fab 80’s hits. Then at 20.00, the story begins. Will their relationship be saved? Does Franky finally Relax, did we all Choose Life, and can Paul Hardcastle work out "what was going on"? Come join us and find out!

Drinks available at the bar. 80’s fancy dress optional and encouraged.

Tickets £8 plus booking fee.
