Theatrical performance, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Townsend Productions. This adaptation of Tressell’s famous novel is a hilarious show about a year in the life of a group of painters and decorators, as they renovate a three-storey town house for Mayor Sweater. It traces their struggle for survival in a complacent and stagnating Edwardian England. These workers are the ‘philanthropists’ who throw themselves into back-breaking work for poverty wages in order to generate profit for their masters. This vibrant, lively story is brought to life by two hugely talented and experienced performers, Neil Gore and Fine Time Fontayne and using comedy routines, entertaining songs and live music from the Music Hall and uplifting hymns from the Chapel sung in graceful harmony. 19:30pm Arts Centre. Tickets: £9 (£8) CC £8.50 (£7.50)
