What happens when a single email sparks a creative partnership that redefines how we see extinction and conservation? In The Gonzovation Conversation, filmmaker and writer Ceri Levy takes you on a journey into his extraordinary collaboration with legendary artist Ralph Steadman. From an innocent request for a painting of an extinct bird to the birth of The Gonzovation Trilogy, this talk delves into the fascinating stories behind their ground-breaking work. Ceri will share behind-the-scenes tales from the Steadman studio, revealing the imaginative process behind their art, the secrets of the “dirty water animals,” and the wild, whimsical creatures like the Needless Smut. He’ll challenge you to rethink your connection to the natural world and invite you to embrace a new philosophy: Gonzovation—a fusion of creativity, conservation, and a healthy dose of madness. Discover how art, storytelling, and passion can create a call to action for protecting our planet. By the end, you might even find yourself asking: Am I a Gonzovationist? Join the Gonzovation Conversation. The world needs your voice. Location: Museum/Verden Event Rooms Time: 3-5pm; talk runs 3:30-4:30pm in the Verden Event Rooms Complimentary drink and entry to the museum included with your ticket.

Weeping Bank are delighted to bring the chilling tales of The Librarian to London for the first time for this Walpurgisnacht special! 'Tales after dark' Two ghost stories to chill the spine from the shelves of Weeping Bank Library, written by A. G. Smith and read by The Librarian. Tuesday 29th April, 6.30-8.30pm (refreshments available during an interval) Uxbridge Quaker Meeting House Weeping Bank brings engaging, candlelit performances of ghost stories to community spaces, creating intimate and unique experiences for both avid and reluctant readers, gothic horror fans and lovers of traditional storytelling. 'I'd never been to a Weeping Bank reading before but I had heard from a friend that it captures the chills and atmosphere of a theatre or film ghost story, yet done by storytelling alone. I was doubtful. I honestly felt the hairs rise on my neck during the reading, this is something very different and shouldn't be missed.' 'The story was brilliant - but the way it was delivered takes it to another level. The atmosphere was genuinely chilling. Weeping Bank were meant to do this!' 'You have managed to capture perfectly the atmosphere and sound of the great ghost story writers of yesteryear.' 'well written and flawlessly delivered with thespian-level gravitas' Emma Dark, award-winning filmmaker and actress, columnist for We Belong Dead magazine. Warning - Weeping Bank readings contain moments of heightened tension. The reading is unsuitable for anyone under the age of 15 or of a nervous disposition.

Rock of Ages is a jukebox musical built around classic rock songs from the 1980s, especially from the famous glam metal bands of that decade. The musical features songs from Journey, Bon Jovi, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Europe, among other well-known rock bands. The original Broadway production ran for 2,328 performances, making it the 29th-longest-running show in Broadway history. Since then, it has spawned replica productions worldwide in Japan, Australia, and the west end among others, as well as several touring productions. The 2012 film starred Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand and Catherine Zeta Jones. With a very witty script (and some adult jokes) and with such a good collection of song, everyone is guaranteed a great night out. Running on Thursday 22nd - Saturday 24th May 2025 at 7:30pm Winston Churchill Theatre Theatre
