"You never forget your first fight. And you shouldn't, either." Tom and Simon have been mates since school; shared everything - homework, cars, girlfriends; you name it, they've both had their hands on it. But whilst Sy has always played it safe, Tom likes to push things to extremes... with occasionally violent repercussions.
After an ill-advised evening with the wife of local nutcase Mad Mark Flynn, Sy is starting to worry if Tom might have bitten off more than he can chew. He needs protection. He needs to get out of town. And then he meets Foster. A former boxer with a left hook to die for (or from), Foster takes Tom under his wing. But is there more to his interest than meets the eye? And why won't he talk about his past?
Partly inspired by true events, Reform Theatre are proud to bring you the world premiere of a thrilling new play from the writer of My Favourite Summer and Housebound. |

Hot swinging musical mayhem! Three eccentric English gentlemen present a comical musical revue of 1930’s jazz and dance band melodies interspersed with visual gags, delightful humour and novelty moments. Thrill to the dulcet tones of The Duke of Nostalgia and his jumping ukulele! Scream with delight as Mr Dennis Teeth serenades you with the heart-melting sound of the musical saw! Gasp at the impossible ineptitude of the tea chest bassist, Sir Maris Piper!
The Hot Potato Syncopators offer the very finest blend of music, nostalgia and nonsense for stage or street.
You won’t know whether to dance or laugh!
“We love The Hot Potato Syncopators!”

Two men, two ukuleles... and the entire history of rock and pop | |||||

Nothing is out of bounds for the Re-entrants. From Abba to Gaga, they somehow manage to get in all the hooks, riffs, solos and vocal harmonies without any backing tracks or fancy tricks - nothing but two voices and two ukuleles. Huge hits from the 60s to the present, played by two large bald men on two tiny ukuleles. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll queue up to buy CDs afterwards. Performing together since 2007, Phil and Ian brought their wealth of experience playing in a variety of bands and squeezed it into the ukulele. Considered to be among the finest ukulele players currently performing, they regularly headline ukulele festivals, and the aNueNue ukulele company has just released two signature model ukes. Don't ever think that two blokes with ukuleles can't be a full-on rock band experience... “Their act is so very strong: they transcend the limitations of the ukulele” George Hinchliffe, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain |

In The Beginning Was The Chord… Widdly-widdly guitars, thundering drums, screaming vocalists ranting on about Beelzebub. It’s loud, it’s nonsense, and he's old enough to know better. So why does he still Love it?
Using comedy, storytelling and a Flying V guitar, performer Eamonn Fleming and director Andy Burden bring you a new show all about a lifelong Love/Hate affair with the genius and stupidity that is Heavy Metal.
What is the Meaning of Riff?
Having previewed the show at The Rondo last year, ex-Bath resident and former Big State Theatre member Eamonn is back to give you the full Concept Album!
Metal Up Your Arts, Rondo!

It was Monday, it was January, and I was serving tea to a corpse. It’s part of my job. Mildred died and left very little behind. Gerald, her brother, is about to do the same. The care home’s new domestic help is understandably upset about this – and now he wants to help out more than usual. He’s got an idea – it’ll be a legacy for Gerald: his old life, repackaged. Proof of a life lived.
As his pet project progresses, though, this ‘proof of life’ gets weirder – whose life were we talking about again?
PirateClown return to The Rondo with a new one-man show – the young meet the old, the slowly dying meet the quickly dying, and there’ll be lots of cold tea. |
