Call Mr Robeson

By Tayo Aluki.   Paul Robeson is a great and famous actor, singer and civil rights campaigner.  When over the years he gets progressively too radical and outspoken for the establishment's liking, he is branded a traitor to his country, harassed, and denied opportunities to perform or travel.  Just as physical, emotional and mental stress threaten to push him over the fine line between genius and madness, he is summoned to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, to give the most difficult and important performance of his career.  The play is a roller coaster journey through Robeson's remarkable and eventful life, and highlights how his radical activism caused him to be disowned and disremembered, even by the leaders and descendants of the civil rights movement.  It features some of his famous songs and speeches, including a dramatic rendition of Ol' Man River.  Tickets £12  3pm Marine Theatre

UK Pink Floyd is the most authentic Pink Floyd tribute act around. The show is a fantastic experience of superb sound quality and lights featuring state of the art visuals and videos, and includes The Dark Side of The Moon album played in its entirety, featuring the superb vocals of singer Jess Upton. Nine professional musicians came together to recreate the ultimate Pink Floyd show and first performed about 15 years ago , at a sell out show at the Weymouth Pavilion. They are all really big fans of Pink Floyd, most of us having seen them at some point. Most of the UK Pink Floyd band members are West Country based.  Singer Ricky Stevenson says: “It started out as something that we just all really wanted to do for fun, but the early shows were received so well by the audiences, so we thought why not make a show out of it?"

Exhibitions

‘Maritime Memories of Old Lyme Regis’

For the Year of Maritime Lyme (2011), Lyme Regis Museum organised a special local history exhibition at the Town Mill Malthouse. Entitled ‘Maritime Memories’, it will bring together a wide variety of historic material relating to Lyme’s maritime past. Anyone interested in the town’s social history, the sea, and boats of all kinds will find something fascinating in the exhibition. 
 
The centrepiece of the exhibition was two historic Dorset fishing boats called lerrets, which will be exhibited along with their stories, archive photographs and oral history recordings of the fishing families who made their living from these boats.  One of the lerrets on display is the last remaining seaworthy historic vessel ‘Vera’ and the other is the new lerret ‘Littlesea’, built by eye by local boatbuilder Gail McGarva with the assistance of local boatbuilder Roy Gollop.

Also included in the exhibition was historical material relating to the RNLI in Lyme Regis, featuring many archive photographs.  There will also be the story of the RAF boats that were stationed at Lyme, including scale models.  Museum local historians Ken Gollop and Graham Davies have also made a selection of the fascinating historic images from the museum’s photographic archives.
