Is That A Bolt In Your Neck?

Inspired by gothic horror movie classics of the 1930s, Is That A Bolt In Your Neck? is a fast-paced, rollicking ride mixing spooky paranoia, surreal nightmare and frantic farce. Suitable for audiences from ages 8 to 80, this is an ideal family show: packed full of hilarious slapstick, verbal wit, live music and magical illusion.

As lightening flashes across the sky, the rugged silhouette of an old dark house looms into view. Lost in a storm, this seems like the only possible refuge but what happens when you hear mysterious moaning in the middle of the night? Behind every door lurks unimaginable horror.

With comedy and thrills galore you'll gasp, laugh and be amazed at the horrific experiments, the mind-boggling love, and the sensational death-defying finale. This wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy horror features three fearless actors, playing over 30 roles in 75 minutes of fast-paced fun and thrilling action.

The Autumn Music Concert

A very successful first music concert of the year in the intimate setting of our lovely theatre. Featuring solo and ensemble performances by Bradon Forest students as well as a few big numbers by the Concert Band. The students were warming up for their forthcoming tour of Disney Land Paris, it was great to see so many people show their support - it was a sell out!

The Farndale Avenue Townswomen’s

Guild Dramatic Society present Macbeth

Some of you may have seen their version of 'Murder at Checkmate Manor' or 'The Haunted Through Lounge and Recessed Dining Nook at Farndale Castle'... well, the Farndale Avenue Townswomen's Guild's Dramatic Society (played by BFS students!) are back with their adventurous interpretation of 'Macbeth'!

Will it all go smoothly? Will the actors remember their lines, cue's and props? Will the set stay in tact? Who knows, but probably not! Prepare yourselves for a hilarious show (even if Shakespeare did not intend it to be a comedy!).

The Hot Dots

Frank Johnstone and Evie Steele met in 1928. This is the story of two hugely successful vaudeville performers and their spectacular fall from grace. Featuring So & So's trademark acrobatic balancing and a fantastic story set against the backdrop of 1930's Music Hall, this show is a real one-off treat.

‘Limelight and Lunacy’ & ‘Better Red Than Dead’

A double bill of high-class physical

theatre & dance.

A guaranteed ‘good night out’ that will appeal to a wide audience of theatre-goers, film-buffs, book-lovers and culture-vultures alike.

A macabre and hilarious piece of physical theatre ‘Limelight and Lunacy’ explores the attitudes and standards of late 19th century society, when desires were forced into hiding, beneath a facade of etiquette and decorum. This group piece centres around the relationships between four hapless vaudeville performers, who gradually lose the plot in a world of music hall madness

‘Better Red Than Dead’ uncovers the themes and metaphors within the fairy tale of Red Riding Hood. We reveal the sexual tension between Red and Wolf as both fall prey to animal instinct and we revel in the fear of both the unknown and the inevitable. Prepare those peepers for a feasting in this piece of highly inventive dance theatre.

The Bradon Forest Theatre presents...

with support from Jo Stroud

The hugely popular local band performed an enticing set to promote their new self-titled album released earlier this month. Their previously released EP, Dumbstruck, received rave reviews and their latest offering doesn’t disappoint:

“We can safely say this is the strongest local album of the year, more than living up to the bands world class live shows. We look forward to whatever The Dacoits choose to do next.” Ragdoll Magazine

The 5 piece Indie band, with members from Oxford and Swindon, headlined our Big Top Festival back in July and went down a storm. They are fast becoming a musical force to be reckoned with and this was an enjoyable night of high class entertainment.

Tickets: £2
