SUMMARY:Bomb Happy
DESCRIPTION:“Bomb Happy is a slang phrase we use for being under fire for many days at a time…  it does describe the condition you become.” D Day Veteran\, Ken “Smudger” Smith \nTwo new works telling the stories of Yorkshire Normandy Veterans in their own words. This poignant and lyrical double-bill includes: \nA Walk in the Park – a short film in the footsteps of Hank Haydock. Filmed on location at former WWII training camp in Duncombe Park\, it tells the story of Coldstream Guardsman Dennis Haydock. Beautifully shot\, it captures the hidden remains of nissen huts\, tank standings and tank maintenance pits amongst the now peaceful woodland. \nSleep/Re-Live/Wake/Repeat – writer Helena Fox and vocalist Natasha Jones bring to life the first-hand experiences of D-Day Veteran\, Ken “Smudger” Smith and the lifelong impact of PTSD and sleep trauma through spoken first hand accounts and haunting acapella vocals. With never been seen before black and white images from Ken’s personal photo collection following his traumatic journey in the Middle East following victory in Europe. \nTwo stories of two ordinary Yorkshire lads who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. At times humorous\, at times harrowing\, both film and spoken word performance allow a close up insight into life on the frontline and give a rare glimpse into life for someone beset by memories of war. \nPresented as part of Ripon’s VE Day 80th Anniversary Commemorations in partnership with Ripon Community Poppy Project. \nSunday 11 May\, 2.30pm Doors open 2pm. \nRefreshments will be served after the event with donations to Lister House. \nTickets £10

SUMMARY:We're Not Going Back
DESCRIPTION:75 Mines. 3 Sisters. 1 Cause. (And a six-pack of Babycham) \n2024 is the fortieth anniversary of the 1984/85 miners’ strike\, a dispute that still resonates today. But the strike wasn’t just about pickets vs police – in this thought-provoking musical comedy\, there are no miners and no cops. Instead\, we follow the fortunes of three sisters in a pit village\, hit hard by the Government’s war against the miners and determined to set up a branch of ‘Women Against Pit Closures’.\nIt’s early 1984\, and Olive\, Mary\, and Isabel are sisters whose everyday squabbles collide with a strike that forces them to question their lives\, their relationships\, and their family ties. \nhttps://www.ripontheatrefestival.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/WNGB-trailer-captioned.mp4\n  \nThis strike wasn’t just a war fought on the battlegrounds of a picket line\, Parliament\, and public opinion; it was as much a battle in the homes and families of those fighting for their communities.\nWe’re Not Going Back tackles the resilience of working communities\, the make-and-mend fabric of family\, and the power of sticking two fingers up to a government hell-bent on destruction… and all with humour\, song and a six-pack of Babycham. \nPresented by Red Ladder Theatre Company and Unite the Union\nWritten by Boff Whalley \nTicket price: £14 (£12)

SUMMARY:The Adventures of Doctor Dolittle

SUMMARY:Look After Your Knees
DESCRIPTION:Look After Your Knees is a new solo work by theatre maker\, performer and physical comedian Natalie Bellingham. It is about the pain and beauty of growing older\, of connecting and unravelling\, of taking hold and letting go. This new solo performance uses comedy\, storytelling\, movement and interaction to uncover some of the things in life that can be hard to talk about. It’s a celebration of being human in all its banality\, sprinkled with joy and ridiculousness. It’s a visual and physical collage performed by a clown delving into the space inside us left behind by time. \nThis is a show about facing change when you didn’t see it coming. It’s about what comes next. \n“Be kind to your knees\, you’ll miss them when they’re gone” Baz Lurhman\, 1999 \n“Great comic timing\, fantastic physicality and delivers emotional moments exceptionally well… clearly (an) exceptional talent.”\nJacob Bush\, The Reviews Hub Yorkshire\n“Honest\, raw and emotionally open on the stage\, it makes for a performer who is utterly compelling.” Nick Ahad\, Writer and Broadcaster \nNatalie was a 2021 Funny Women finalist and co-founder of Uncanny Theatre with whom she toured original work for a decade throughout the UK. She has recently been touring The Polar Bear (Is Dead)\, a creative collaboration with Daniele Pennati from Milan\, and has been working with acclaimed art clown Jamie Wood to create this new solo show Look After Your Knees. \nWednesday 3 July\, 8pm \nPresented in memory of Ripon Theatre Festival founder\, Ian Holloway. There will be a collection after the show for St Michael’s Hospice. \nYou may also make a donation to the charity directly via Ian’s Just Giving page.  Thank you for your support. \nTickets £12 (£10)
