SUMMARY:10 Minute Tales
DESCRIPTION:Ten Minute Tales \nTen Minute Tales showcases the four winning entries in the Hastings Writers Group 2025 Drama Competition. \nHastings Writers’ Group\, founded in 1947\, is one of the oldest established writers’ groups in the country. The group – which included literary legend Catherine Cookson as a founder member – had as its original aim to ‘encourage all writers resident in the Hastings area to develop their skills and gain maximum benefit from the support of their fellow members’.  This aim continues to the present day. \nMore information about the group can be found at https://hastingswriters.co.uk \nHWG is delighted to work with writer\, performer and director Cindy Oswin\, who has given most generously of her time to support the group’s members in both writing their Ten Minute Tales\,  and taking playwrights and cast on the journey which culminates in staging the four prize winners at this year’s Hastings Theatre Festival. \nCindy’s background is in theatre as an actor\, director and writer. She has worked with many theatre companies including Paines Plough\, Lumiere and Son\, Rational Theatre\, Scarlet Theatre\, Leicester Haymarket\, Derby Playhouse\, and her own company\, Salt Theatre. \nFor Shakespeare’s Globe\, in collaboration with Mark Rylance\, Cindy Oswin wrote and directed the royal opening event: The Triumph of Hope and The Masque of Heaven and Earth.  She has also written short pieces performed at Shakespeare’s Globe and the 42 Street Theatre\, New York. \nThis year\, HWG is supporting the Hollington Youth Centre\, whose youth work provision in Hastings and the surrounding areas is a lifeline for young people navigating adolescence while facing the challenges of high deprivation. Any proceeds made by HWG from this performance will form part of that support. \n \n\n  	Book tickets\n \nPlease share...Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on X (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:Becoming Maverick

Tense. Intriguing. \nBecoming Maverick is a tale of a woman’s undaunting resilience to survive at all costs. \nIt is 1919. A child is found locked in a trunk on a cargo ship in Southampton. A dead woman clutches a letter beside it. A newborn infant is missing. The child with no name is sent to an orphanage asylum.

Embroiled with a family fractured by the corrupting decadence of dark secrets and wealth\, she is driven to weather the storms of unimaginable consequences. Karma is a dish best served cold and this woman is glacial.\nBecoming Maverick – the journey of a woman who learns to twist the knife of fate. But this isn’t the end. Her story is just beginning… with a secret that no-one can know. \nAward Winning performer and writer (Best Female Actor) HEATHER ALEXANDER\, takes us on a roller coaster journey of emotions with her latest show.

SUMMARY:What A Gay Day. The Larry Grayson Story
DESCRIPTION:What A Gay Day! – The Larry Grayson Story \n  \nWHAT A GAY DAY! is the new show from the team behind THE MAN IN THE SHED\, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING FRANK\, THE EAGLE AND THE SEAGULL\, CHET BAKER – LET’S GET LOST and LUCKY DOG\, and features Luke Adamson as Larry Grayson. \nShut that door!  Larry Grayson is back from The Other Side (no\, not ITV) to tell us about his life. \nLarry was the camp stand-up who became one of the country’s best-loved light entertainers with his innuendo-laden tales of friends like Everard and Slack Alice. His actual life story was extraordinary\, and here\, in this fusion of autobiographical reminiscing and stand-up\, Larry reveals all. From his birth in 1923 to an unmarried mother at a time when such things brought nothing but shame\, to his fostering by a hard-working miner and his family\, Larry maintained an incredible drive to become a variety star at a time when variety was dying. Drag artist\, comedian\, song-and-dance man\, Larry did it all\, but he was consigned to showbusiness oblivion by an early TV appearance. No one\, least of all Larry\, expected him to become a major light entertainment star later in life\, with his shows watched by over 20 million people on Saturday nights in the 1970s and 1980s. \nA gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal\, he was marginalised by his own sexuality\, but was also bizarrely targeted by the Gay Liberation Front for not being what they wanted to promote. The camp comic who paved the way for so many others\, he is now in danger of being forgotten\, so spend an evening with Larry\, his hilarious friends\, his anecdotes and catchphrases\, and the humour of the decades he lived though\, and find out what he did in the Rolls Royce that he could not drive. \n  \n\n  	Book tickets\n \nPlease share...Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on X (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:Square Peg
DESCRIPTION:BeRuffled Productions’ Award-Winning Play “Square Peg” by Simeon Morris: A Must-See this June at Stables Theatre\, as part of Hastings Fringe\nSimeon Morris\, who snagged the coveted Fringe First award in 2023 for his debut play Square Peg\, is bringing it to Hastings for a one-night-only show at the Stables Theatre this June! \nThe Scotsman called it “a frank and engaging piece\, offering a more thoughtful examination of masculinity than almost any other at this year’s Fringe.” \nBen Harrison of Grid Iron called it a “Beautiful show\, tender\, revealing… a story about coming into yourself at 50 and following your dreams. Would thoroughly recommend.” \nMorris delves into the complexities of manhood during a time of changing gender roles. Through humour and vulnerability\, the play explores midlife crises\, emotional trauma\, and the quest for self-discovery. \nFrom Body Shop cucumber cleanser to satin gowns\, from liquid eyeliner to the exquisite song of a blackbird\, Square Peg weaves themes of abuse\, loneliness\, and craftsmanship\, reflecting Morris’ personal search for love\, belonging\, and self-acceptance. \nWith a delightful hodgepodge of clowning\, physical theatre\, music\, poetry\, birdsong\, and even a dress-making demonstration thrown in for good measure\, Square Peg wades through a tangled thicket of grief—suggesting\, that maybe\, just maybe\, art has the power to save us all. \n  \n\n  	Book tickets\n \nPlease share...Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on X (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...
