We are very much looking forward to attending this We are very much looking forward to attending this as part of the four day festival of Taking the Stage @mk_gallery with @playsthething "This exciting festival is back supporting and celebrating women playwrights. This is our third festival and like our previous two festival we have an exciting line up of new plays, discussions and talks." "The Play’s The Thing aims to produce thought provoking theatre which deals with a range of challenging subjects. The company is also committed to providing opportunities for writers presenting new work and to offer training for actors and directors." 🎭 Meet the cast of 'Fifty Cups of Tea' by Rosemary Hill. Join us MK Gallery on 16th & 19th October in the Sky Room. "A campaign to boycott all nations that drop bombs on defenceless women and children was launched yesterday by a group of fifty women. They met for tea at the Dorchester Hotel as the first signatories under the League for the Boycott of Aggressor Nations and many of them made speeches for the first time in their lives. ‘Men Make War’ they said. ‘But women by a united boycott of all goods made by aggressor nations can stop wars. The Chronicle April 8th 1938. The hostess was Princess Indira of Kapurthala, an actor and broadcaster who went on to work with George Orwell at the BBC. Through the eyes of the four women who were the main organisers the play explores the power of female protest and resistance." Cast: Caroline Nash - Monica Whatley Jess Inchbald - Edith Hebden Subika Anwar Khan - Princess Indira Devi of Kapurthala Caroline Mann - Lily Jermy We hope you can join us for another exciting evening of new plays.

PR As part of @heritageopendays this weekend, we PR As part of @heritageopendays this weekend, we took a taster trip on @electraboatmk incorporating a thirty minute boat trip then tea and biscuits with an interesting talk about the canals of #MiltonKeynes . The boat trip is really relaxing and peaceful, as the boat is nigh on silent you get a wonderful opportunity to get close up to wildlife without disturbance. There is a cabin host on hand with the skipper, all staff are volunteers, and food and drink is available on all trips. The talk after our little glide was so informative and interesting, there were many "I didn't know that" moments and there's exciting plans ahead for an expansion of the canal routes at both Milton Keynes and Cosgrove. Presented by David and Jane Wolfson, they've a wealth of knowledge and facts about the waterways. Electra holds many different 'specials' trips so it's worth checking out their website for all the information. https://www.bmkwaterway.org/electra/ Images @singlereservation #electric #electricboat #canal #canals #canalboat #community #history #HeritageOpenDays @canalrivertrust
