April - July 11 APRIL - JULY 11 Epic 01635 522733 www.cornexchangenew.com This season has something for everyone – with some great comedy alongside some of the best contemporary performance – and no less than four Corn Exchange supported or produced shows. You’re Not Like Other Girls Chrissy is a wonderful true story of a tenacious French woman pursuing the Englishman of her dreams through the outbreak of the second world war. A moving and very funny tale this was a hit at the Edinburgh Festival in 2010. We also welcome back Will Adamsdale (previously in Newbury with the hysterical Jacksons Way) back in The Summer House, a new comic play which follows three men as they head off on ‘blokes’ holiday – but end up lost in pretty much every way! And for the fi rst time at the Corn Exchange we welcome the incomparable Daniel Kitson with The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church, a brilliant and touching piece of comedy theatre from one of the most impressive talents working today. Leading up to the 2011 Newbury Comedy Festival we also have some top names arriving in Newbury – including Al Murray, Arthur Smith and the return of the brilliant Boothby Graffoe as well as a music programme that includes the stunning Flameco company Jaleo and rising folk talent Jane Taylor. As this is the fi nal season I have programmed at the Corn Exchange I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, our wonderful audiences, for enjoying and supporting this very special theatre over my three years here. It’s been a real privilege to serve as Director, and I wish the Corn Exchange, Newbury and my successor, Katy Griffi ths, who joins the team from March, every good wish for the future.

The one with World Wars in it, with memorable dates and names you learn at school, but also the personal one, the human one, the one you can relate to.” A playful and experimental journey through the past hundred years, Epic combines personal stories, video interaction, fanciful re-enactments of key 20th century events, and a cameo from Bertolt Brecht. Epic creates moments of intimacy while also connecting us to the bigger picture. Foster & Déchery make thrilling, accessible, pared-down theatre that harnesses the power of autobiography to address issues of contemporary life, using a rich visual and physical style.

    Charity No. 1124762 email: [email protected] Volume 15 Issue 4 web site: www.westsussexguitar.com July 2010 Mandolinquents Concert The Mandolinquents comprise Simon Mayor on lead mandolin and occasionally on the fiddle and guitar; Hilary James on a rare and wonderful mandobass and also on vocals; Gerald Garcia on classical guitar and Richard Collins on mandolin, guitar and even banjo. All gelled to produce a wonderful mellow sound which was complemented by Hilary’s smooth, dulcet singing. The group were formed some 11 years ago and during that time we were lead to believe Gerald was a perfect pest by repeatedly asking ‘When are we going to play at Bognor?’ Well his wish and the audience’s wish were finally answered. If you shut your eyes and listened, you would often find it hard to believe that it was mandolins playing – being tuned as a violin they could often sound like a small orchestra. ur final concert of season went out with a We heard a whole spectrum of some 20 bang with the Mandolinquents.

It featured an impressive versatility of style: classical arrangements, folkish tunes and what Simon making reference to folk tune themes in his Mayor describes as “original compositions with excellent arrangements of classical pieces and ethnic influences”. Whatever it is sounds good. including some bonus tunes of his own - all uncompromisingly good. The production was The mandolin has an appeal all of its own and gloriously ambient and pure. And the Second Mayor has no qualms about arranging works by Album - ditto. A supreme recording of outstanding great composers. There are adaptations of Brahms’ musicianship and a depth of feeling rare to find. ‘Hungarian Dance No 1’, Haydn’s ‘Finale Let's not understate the man's abilities. Simon is a Spirituoso’ (which is, in effect, the last movement virtuoso of the near entire mandolin collection as of his 104th ‘London Symphony’) a Sonata by well as being no mean fiddler, guitarist and whistle- Scarlatti, the 'Concerto for Two Mandolins' by player. His breathy Andean meanderings on the Vivaldi and Handel's 'Hornpipe' from the famous whistle are as skilled as his jaw-droppingly nimble 'Water Music'.
