IRON CUPCAKE GOES ROLLER DERBY!


Our favourite roller-girls are organsing this special Iron Cupcake as a fund-raiser for their team. The theme is Super-heroes and Villains so prepare to be bitten by a radio-active cupcake this is baking with capes and lycra pants on!

As
ever bakers get in for free with their cakes, any friends or eaters pay £5 for as much cake as they can scoff and free tea and coffee for all.

The rules are on our facebook group page but feel free to email me with any queries or just to say hello tamsynpayne@aol.com - everyone is welcome but bakers must be over 18.

As space is limited we'll be selling tickets in advance so please register (even if you are getting in for free!) with wegottickets so we can make sure we can fit everyone in.

SATURDAY 25 FEBRUARY 2012
MASQUE THEATRE DOUBLE BILL
SAMUEL BECKETT & JUSTIN BUTCHER
Scaramouche Jones and Happy Days will be performed as part of the Masque Theatre on Tour mini-season during February 2012. The productions will be staged at three venues in the Northampton area as part of Masque Theatre's 80th Anniversary. See below for tour dates...


HAPPY DAYS by Samuel Beckett
Happy Days is Beckett’s ‘happy’ play. At the beginning we meet Winnie, a chatty, constantly sunny housewife who happens to be buried up to her waist in rubbish. Winnie takes us through her day… the bell for waking and the bell for sleeping, the bag that contains all the elements that make up her life and her husband Willie who is always just out of sight.
One of Beckett’s less-performed plays Happy Days is a funny, beautiful and sad comment on the nature of existence and how so many of us allow our lives to consume us. At the beginning of Act II Winnie is up to her neck, still she assures us that this will be another ‘Happy Day’.


SCARAMOUCHE JONES by Justin Butcher
11pm Millennium Eve: Ancient clown Scaramouche breaks fifty years' silence to give his final performance...
...and charts a bizarre odyssey through crumbling empires, comic misadventures and the 20th Century's darkest episodes, revealing the loves, the brutalities, the ecstasies and the tragedies beneath his seven white masks in an epic, poetic, profoundly moving tale.
