SUMMARY:The Essence of Audrey
DESCRIPTION:Audrey Hepburn. All she really wanted was to be loved and to find love. She was\, and continues to be\, an inspiration. A beautiful\, modest actress\, and Ambassador of UNICEF living a seemingly idyllic life. \nAudrey proved to be one of those rare people who truly deserved ‘fashion icon’ status\, but what made her into the star we think we know? \nWriter and performer Helen Anker shares Audrey’s successes and failures\, her triumphs and disappointments\, confronting her anxieties and fears and finding the truth she’s never been able to voice before. \nHelen Anker has been treading the boards since the age of 9\, playing roles in West End productions\, on Broadway\, and in numerous regional productions. She has recently toured internationally as Tanya in Mamma Mia! and as Cynthia Murphy in Dear Evan Hansen. \n“Fascinating\, interesting\, wonderful. Don’t miss it!” Maureen Lipman \nSponsored by Ripon Rowels Rotary Club \nTickets £12 \n*Matinee multi-buy deal available*

SUMMARY:Incidents in the Life of an Anglican Slave
DESCRIPTION:Incidents is inspired by a letter written in 1723 from an anonymous enslaved Virginian to the archbishop of London\, asking the archbishop\, and vicariously King George\, to “releese us out of this cruell bondegg”. It is thought to be the earliest written plea for freedom from slavery in the British Empire. \nThe extraordinary 1723 letter is housed at Lambeth Palace Library. Three centuries on\, the play brings the enslaved Virginian to life\, to address\, finally\, the likely intended recipient of the letter: the Archbishop of Canterbury. \nWritten and performed by London-based writer and researcher\, Desirée Baptiste\, this play has been performed at Chester Cathedral\, St John’s College Cambridge\, Lambeth Palace Library\, the Edinburgh Fringe\, All Souls\, Oxford\, and other venues in the UK and overseas\, including in Barbados. \nQ & A with Desiree following the performance. \nPresented in partnership with Ripon Cathedral. \nAge Guide 14+ \nTickets £15 \n*Evening multi-buy deal available*
