 Company: Compagnie Animotion. ‘See-Play-Do’ brings the best family theatre from across the country to the Marine. As if that wasn’t enough, there are plenty of
opportunities to join in too, with messy sessions and workshops running before or after the performances. Come along and say hello! (We’ll have the kettle on for Mum and Dad too!). Welcome to a tale of squabbles, scuffles…and buttons! George grows grapes. Bessie grows cabbages. One loves the sun. One loves the rain. A petty squabble grows and grows and grows into… The War
of the Buttons! In a silly and wonderful tale, buttons and friendships are lost and won, games are played, and audiences young and old can rediscover their inner child. Be taken on a journey of imagination, to a world drawn by a child. A world where you are invited to eat birthday cake, take sides and where a button can be a kiss, a wish, a present, or a trophy of war! Told through an
energetic mix of music, puppetry, clowning, movement and sign language, The War of the Buttons distinctive non-verbal vocabulary creates a show accessible to deaf, hearing and international audiences. 10am (with stay and play after the show!) Running time: 50mins All

Kimber’s Men
'The group that never fails to entertain.' Arguably the finest purveyors of sea songs and shanties in the world. From the very West of West Wales to South and East England, and from Denmark, Scotland, Cumbria and Northumberland to Jersey, Portsmouth and Falmouth, audiences have raved over Kimber’s Men. Recently featured in the BBC2 and
BBC4 productions of ‘Sea Songs’, they have recorded five CDs and performed in concert with Show of Hands. The group now comprise Joe Stead (Ship's Doctor), John Bromley (Ship's Cook), Neil Kimber (Bosun), Gareth Scott (Powder Monkey) and new boy Michael Beeke (Drummer Boy) who has succeeded David Buckley who left the band earlier this year. Michael
Beeke plays the Northumbrian Pipes and has added a completely new dimension to the sound. In John Bromley Kimber’s Men posses the finest bass singer on the British folk scene today. John is the rock upon which the group is built, he is arguably the finest bass singer to sing folk songs since Paul Robeson. Indeed it is likely you will get a rendition of 'Old Man River' at some point during the concert.
The founder member, Joe Stead who is almost a legend in his own right actually met and sang with Paul Robeson and is a friend of Pete Seeger the legendary American singer who wrote such classics as ‘Where have all the flowers gone’ and ‘If I had a hammer’. Joe has performed twice in concert in America with Pete, both in New York and for the Delaware River Valley Project in New Jersey when Neil Kimber
accompanied him. Original founder member Joe Stead said, “We are really looking forward to this show. We've performed at the Swanage Folk Festival on numerous occasions but we've not been to this part of Dorset since our foundation in 2001. But we hope to be seeing some old friends in the audience who live locally. It will be wonderful if some of them turn up.
Come to the Marine Theatre for an evening with probably the finest (and funniest) shanty group in Great Britain. 8.00pm Running time: 2hrs (approx) Full Price: £13.00, Concessions: £11.00, TheatreFriends Discount Available. Marine Theatre

‘The Six Wives of Henry V111’
 by LivingSpit.
Howard Coggins looks like Henry VIII. There’s no escaping that. Stu McLoughlin
doesn’t really look like any of the wives, but he’s going to give it a go. After their previous self-funded two-man historical drama is savaged in the press, Howard (Bristol Old Vic) and Stu (Kneehigh) are at their wits end. Then they hit upon an idea for a show that could change everything...but can two of the South West’s favourite theatrical sons put aside their differences and make it through to
the end without killing each other? "Cleverly written, beautifully acted, and, dare I say it, educational" Bristol Evening Post www.livingspit.co.uk Wootton Fitzpaine Village Hall Tel 01297 560948

Heavy Weather present Jane Eyre
R&D by the Sea is the Marine Theatre's
programme for new and developing work. As such, we're very excited to be welcoming theatre company Heavy Weather and their adaptation of Jane Eyre as the fifth production to be developed under the R&D by the Sea umbrella.
Heavy Weather is a dynamic theatre company with a passion for new and old
writing, fresh perspectives on classics, and equality in the arts. Nature, the supernatural, folklore, folksong, abandonment, insanity, arson, death, desire, devotion, religion, poverty, wealth, family, travel, youth, wisdom, experience – they want to tell the memorable story of Jane Eyre in a way that audiences have not seen or heard before. Using the spirit of the book, the feel of the characters
and the taste of the landscape they hope to have the recipe for their own theatrical language. R&D by the Sea gives artists use of the theatre and its facilities, normally for a 5-day period, to develop their work. We’ve invited writers, actors, theatre makers and practitioners of all kinds to come to Lyme Regis. And at the end of their week-long stay, we’ve invited these artists want to give
a work-in-progress performance to share what they’ve found. With you. You’ll get a chance to chat to the company afterwards and fill out a feedback form with your thoughts. 7.00 pm Free! Marine Theatre

Fuga
Company: Teatro Entre Escombros.
On a desolate island in the high seas (the kind of place where Sophocles might meet David Lynch), an age-old siren works for the boss of run down cabaret shack “Inferno”, frequented by lonely sailors of the night. Blamed for the club’s demise, the siren is sent to kill the lighthouse keeper, to sharpen her sex and gain control of the
light. It should be a doddle, but his ear is resistant to her charms, and things get rather tricky… A tale of solitude, fate, and bad timing. Following extensive touring and an overwhelming reception in festivals, theatres and extraordinary sites across Spain, Teatro Entre Escombros bring the magic of Fuga to the Marine Theatre.

Recently described by Classic Rock Magazine as "One Of The Top 5 Must See Tributes In The UK", this phenomenal 7-piece Latin rock
explosion continues to amaze fans wherever they present their celebration of the music of the legendary Carlos Santana. Created in the spring of the millennium year by inspirational Spanish guitarist Marcos Rodriguez, the VivaSantana family consists of talented, dedicated, professional musicians who fully immerse themselves to recreate the moods, sounds and atmosphere of Santana's music with passion,
heart, soul and chilling accuracy. The current line up of musicians have played and toured with such artists as Roger Daltery, Joan Armatrading, Matt Bianco, Jethro Tull, Bad Manners, Desmond Dekker, Yes and Robin Jones who now tours with the band. “Tribute Band” simply doesn’t do them justice.

Have your say on new ward boundaries for West Dorset |
THE independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England is asking local people for their help to draw up a new pattern of council wards for West Dorset District Council.
Following a six-week public consultation, the commission has also announced that it is minded to recommend that the council should have 43 councillors in the future, five fewer than the current arrangements.
The commission now needs information from people and groups across West Dorset to help it to produce a new pattern of wards to accommodate 43 councillors.
Local people have until November 11th 2013 to submit their views. You can write to The Review Officer (West Dorset), Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5LG or for further information on the review and interactive maps of the existing wards visit consultation.lgbce.org.uk and
www.lgbce.org.uk Residents will have a further chance to have their say after the commission publishes its draft recommendations in February 2014. |
