COMING up at Rook Lane Arts Chapel this June.
Tuesday 6th June: Architecture Club presents, Alison Brookes – Architecture and its Side Effects.
Alison Brooks has earned global reputation for her achievements in the field of design and architecture: from her first one off houses to her work in urban regeneration and housing, arts and education projects. Her work is driven by a passion for cultural context, expressive materiality, and for architecture that embodies social ideals. She will discuss her most recent work in London and Oxford, including the Cohen Quadrangle, Exeter College, Oxford and her award winning housing scheme in London, Ely Court, which is one of five finalists for the prestigious EU Mies van der Rohe Prize for Contemporary Architecture 2017. Doors 7pm, talk 7.30pm. Admission, £6.
Tuesday 27th June: As You Like It, The HandleBards.
Join the HandleBards’ all-female troupe in the lovely Rook Lane Chapel for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’ like no other.
And what’s the play about? Well, Rosalind and Orlando have been forced into exile in the Forest of Arden. As lovers, they become entangled in a bizarre game of lust, love and mistaken identity.
In usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter.
Doors open at 6pm, so why not bring a picnic and come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings before the show?
Chairs, picnics, blankets and any other low level accessories are welcome. In case of rain, the performance will move indoors. Admission, £12-15. Tickets will be available on the day at £17.Tickets are non-changeable and non-refundable.
