Conflict Between Church & State – An Audience with King Henry VIII

Date: Thursday 4th September 2025

Time: 7.30pm

Location: The Milton Rooms

Tickets: £15pp

Event Overview

The year is 1542 and the King is in a contemplative mood. Events of recent years weigh heavily upon him – the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the break with Rome and the dissolution of the Monasteries.

This is the sister show to ‘Divorced, Beheaded, Died’. Of this show, it has been said:

“…. a bravura performance as an aged (and lame) Henry VIII. This is Henry, at once dangerous and yet tinged with regret. There is humour and pathos here, as well as convincing menace…. Not to be missed!” The Very Revd Chris Dalliston, Dean of Peterborough Cathedral

www.selectsociety.co.uk

Jack Abbot is a performer who has specialised in recreating historical characters for more than 25 years, has appeared at numerous heritage, educational and corporate venues across the UK and the USA; including many managed by the National Trust, English Heritage, Historic Scotland and other such bodies.

Of the 30 or more characters he performs, Henry VIII is the most popular. First created as a one-man show, more than 12 years ago, the show has gone through a number of revisions and now is offered as a theatrical experience in which the audience comes face-to-face with the King.

The King breaks the ‘fourth wall’ in that he directly refers to the audience who, at the close, are invited to ask questions – a lively Q & A session often ensues with there being some surprising answers!

Presented by Select Society – a company which has provided historical performance services to the UK heritage industry – English Heritage, National Trust, Historic Scotland and numerous museums, castles, and associated venues in the UK and the USA and to educational, corporate, social, and theatrical venues; as well as film, TV, theatre, and radio productions.

The Ultimate 70s Show!

Date: Saturday 18th October 2025

Time: 7.30pm

Location: The Milton Rooms

Tickets: £15pp

Event Overview

It was the decade that fashion forgot – but dust off your lurex loons, the Seventies are back in town.
The Ultimate 70s Show will be recreating one of the most glam periods in music.

Martin Metcalf, a former guitarist with legendary group Geordie, is one of the seven 70s rockers and session musicians who make up Ultimate 70s, whose brand of entertainment has been a huge hit with festival goers in Britain and Europe.

Intent on recreating the era they love, they promise fans an authentic evening of Seventies classic hits delivered just as you would have heard them back in the day. Some of the most iconic hits came from the 70s and everyone loves to sing along to them. This show is a great opportunity to dress up and let your hair down.

The Ultimate 70s Show is a totally live tribute to the rock and pop idols of the 1970s, featuring the music of Slade, T Rex, The Sweet, David Bowie, Suzi Quatro, Alice Cooper, Mott the Hoople and Queen, to name but a few.

Presented by Daniel Taylor Productions Ltd, in partnership with That’s Entertainment Productions.

Billed as one of the top ten attractions at the Glastonbury Festival 2023 and 2024, this hilarious one-man show recaptures the mayhem and misfiring magic of one of Britain’s best loved entertainers.

Produced and performed by award-winning West End and BBC1’s Unbreakable star Daniel Taylor, it is the ultimate tribute to comedy giant, Tommy Cooper.

This 90-minute show gives you a glimpse into the life of the big man himself and features his best one-liners, dazzling wordplay and celebrated tricks, including Glass/Bottle, Dappy Duck, Spot the Dog and Jar/Spoon.

The production has the blessing of the Tommy Cooper Estate.

In the lead up to Remembrance Sunday, which this year focuses on the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this double bill of film, song and live performance using real life accounts has been specially created by award-winning writer and performer Helena Fox and actor-vocalist Natasha Jones, of Everwitch Theatre. It commemorates the 80th anniversaries of D-Day (2024) and VE Day (2025).

From D-Day to VE Day, this powerful one hour double bill of live performance (30 minutes) and short film (30 minutes) brings to life the verbatim accounts of two working class Yorkshire Normandy veterans, highlighting the lifelong impact of post-traumatic stress disorder and sleep trauma, not only on veterans of war but on their families.

“We’re in the water, wading to the shore, and we’re literally brushing against what looks like logs, and they’re just bodies rolling in the surf, people that we know, eighteen, nineteen, twenty-year-olds, they’re pople that we know!” 
Smudger from Bomb Happy: Smudger’s Story

“I had to try to very carefully wake him up, but very carefully you know. You see, he’d be shaking. And for a moment when he woke, he’d still be back there – in the war.” 
Gloria, Smudger’s wife from Bomb Happy: Smudger’s Story

“Bomb Happy is a slang phrase we use for being under fire for many days at a time. It does describe the condition you become.”
Smudger from Bomb Happy, Smudger’s Story
