Northern Broadsides Love’s Labour’s Lost
Northern Broadsides in partnership with the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme
Love’s Labour’s Lost
by William Shakespeare
directed by Barrie Rutter
Take four dashing young men.
Add a vow of celibacy.
Throw in a handful of beautiful young women … and wait for the sparks to fly!!!!
Northern Broadsides celebrates its 20th anniversary year with a delicious comedy that will entertain and delight. Romantic, mischievous and filled with youthful exuberance, Love’s Labour’s Lost fizzes like bubbles in a champagne glass.
Barrie Rutter directs a charismatic cast of 17 multi-talented northern actors who will literally fill the stage in this fast-paced battle of the sexes. In true Broadsides’ style there’ll be rousing song and dance, scintillating performances, jaw-dropping comic timing and hilarious ‘steal-the-show’ scenes.
“The best Shakespeare around.”

'Welsh Fireball' Elis James |
|
Comedy Night
Viaduct Cafe Bar
Friday 20th January at 8.00pm.
January is a miserable month. So why not leaven it with a star burst of comedy at Dean Clough's Viaduct Cafe Bar?
ELIS JAMES is a Welsh comedian whose alarming, long-arc narratives are peppered with explosive digressions: to quote The Scotsman, he is "'Getting the sort of word-of-mouth recommendations that much more experienced comics would kill their mothers for'.
At one time Newcastle comedian JASON COOK enjoyed cult prominence as part of a celebrated spoof duo who possibly WOULD have killed their own mothers. He's long since gone on to prove himself as a solo performer with a ready wit and gently jarring tales of intimate disasters.
TOBY HADOKE hasn’t appeared on Russell Howard’s ‘Good News’ (unlike Jason and Elis) but he has been on ‘Casualty’, ‘Holby City’, ‘Coronation Street’ etc.. When he’s not acting he’s renowned as the founding spirit and regular compere at Manchester’s legendary XS Malarkey Club.
Tickets are a paltry £8.00 each (or book a table for eight at the cost of seven tickets) book online or on 01422 255266.
CURRY CLUB
Come early to the comedy night and enjoy a Curry for an extra £10 per head (last serving at 7.30). Pre-book your choice of meal before 3.00pm on Thursday 19th January.
Curry menu options for January 2012:-
1. Beef Madras
2. Spinach, Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry
3. Red Thai Prawn Curry
Beef and Spinach curries served with onion bhaji, Thai curry served with vegetable moneybags. All served with Rice, Naan, chutney and Raita.
Ring 01422 250250 to clarify menu.

Halifax Cafe Scientifique
Free presentation and debate
Viaduct Cafe, Dean Clough
Wednesday 8 February 2012 at 7:30 pm
The Duality of Cholesterol - Myth, Money and Method
Glyn Wainwright, an independent chemist and IT expert, discusses the impact of commercial interests on scientists' ability to explore the true nature of cholesterol. The modern obsession with lowering our 'blood lipid cholesterol' has overshadowed facts such as that 25% of the body's cholesterol is contained in the brain; or that it accounts for 20% of all the molecules in the body's cell membranes - and that if this is reduced to 18% then cells will start to fail, deform and leak. Glyn explores the way in which cholesterol has been characterised as 'good' or 'bad', how its demonisation has generated a global industry worth billions of dollars - and how this has influenced the funding of medical research and regulated medical practice.
Hot food for Cafe Scientifique night should be ordered in advance on 01422 250250. Watch this space for menu details.
