Bafta Winner – Outstanding British Film
Bafta Winner – Best Original Screenplay (Martin McDonagh)
Bafta Winner – Best Supporting Actor (Barry Keoghan)
Bafta Winner - Best Supporting Actress (Kerry Condon)• 9 Oscar Nominations!
The Banshees of Inisherin is a film you have to see at least once in your life – ideally more!
The Winner of 4 BAFTAs, including Outstanding British Movie and in receipt of 9 Oscar nominations, The Banshees of Inisherin is a masterpiece of filmmaking, in parts both hilariously funny and heart-wrenchingly emotional.
Reuniting actors Colin Farrel and Brendan Gleason from “In Bruges” with that film's writer and director Martin McDonagh, The Banshees of Inisherin is beautiful to watch, with stunning Irish scenery and a joy to listen to, with McDonagh's lyrical script bringing an entrancing poetry and rhythm to the dialogue.
Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, The Banshees of Inisherinfollows lifelong friends Pádraic (Colin Farrell) and Colm (Brendan Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship.
A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhán (Kerry Condon) and troubled young islander Dominic (Barry Keoghan), endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer. But Pádraic's repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences.
“Flawless tragicomedy of male friendship gone sour”; The Guardian
“McDonagh’s latest is heart-wrenching in its simplicity, dark-humoured and unadorned in its sentiments”; The Independent

Live music, physical comedy & circus skills combine to tell a story as old as time...
Juggling babies, toddlers on stilts and teaching your kid Joey to ride his first unicycle...
These are all part of everyday life for showman Joe Butler, in this poignant, family love story involving the ever-changing relationship of a father-and-son double act, The Battling Butlers.
What sort of parent actually encourages their five-year-old to play with fire, anyway?!
Using a unique blend of physical theatre, circus skills, original songs and live music, The Battling Butlers is a study in role-reversal and the inevitability of change, as the old order makes way for the new.

The Countrymen are a Cornish Folk Rock Harmony Group from Launceston.
“If you get the chance to see these guys (The Countrymen) in concert then take it, you will not
be disappointed” Harry GlassonFive seasoned musicians with tight four-part harmony vocals and a token Cornishman. With a relaxed and light-hearted presentation style they take the audience on a journey through the history and culture of Cornwall, featuring their own arrangements of traditional and contemporary songs, as well as original material. Interspersed with the occasional pop cover to lighten the mood when required, there is no mistaking that to a man, they love their county with a passion.
Now in their sixth year, they have been becoming increasingly popular across both Devon & Cornwall with appearances on both radio and TV and numerous festival appearances including The Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival, The Rock Oyster Festival, Falmouth Week, Bridport Folk Festival and Little Orchard Festival.
2023 will see the band take on a fourth concert tour of both Cornwall and Devon entitled “Bal Maiden” which is the track title to one of the new tracks for a third forthcoming album..
The band was formed from an Open Mic Night at their local, The Countryman Inn near Launceston, which is where the band’s name originates. They soon found a mutual love of singing in harmony and almost accidentally developed a strong reputation for an emphasis on Cornishness in the repertoire.
In addition to offering quality live entertainment on stage, they have also been busy in the recording studio and have released three online EPs to date, Cornish Lads Vol.1, 2 and not unsurprisingly, Cornish Lads Vol.3.
They have also released two albums, “Trees On The Hill” and more recently, “The River Rolls On”.
The Countrymen - in 3 minutes!
“Fantastic band! Great harmonies and mix of music. Don't miss them!” Guy McKensie
“Saw these guys on Saturday in the main street (Falmouth Shanty Festival). Great singing. Great banter”. Steve Prophet
“Absolutely love this band. Saw them for the first time at the St Agnes Lifeboat celebration in June and was blown away by the musicianship and beautiful harmonies. At times they were very exclusive and original and at other times derivative but still brilliant. They reminded me at times of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and I would love to see them attempt "Teach Your Children"; but their take on some traditional Cornish songs was uplifting and poignant at the same time. A wonderful night's entertainment. I very much look forward to seeing them again (and again). Thanks guys, much appreciated” David Simons

"COME OUT FIGHTING"
Sat 14th October - 7.30pm
Tickets in advance : Standard : £10.00 ( £12.50 On The Day )
Tickets available by clicking here
Love is a Battlefield: a story of male passion, violence and sexual identity; a gay re-imagining of the story of Carmen.
Corporal Joe Donaldson’s suppressed sexuality finds vent only in violence, honed by his military training. But then he meets Carl and is propelled headlong into unknown waters – the world of a celebrity boxer and infatuation with a young man whom life has taught not to trust love or commitment.
As his world crashes down around him, Joe’s confusion, and his violent instincts threaten to destroy them both.
Essentially a love story inspired by Merimée and Bizet's immortal Carmen, Come Out Fighting explores male sexuality and its testosterone-driven links with aggression and violence.
Two squaddies, both damaged by childhood abuse, are pitched into a desperate, sado-masochistic affair, fuelled by jealousy, anger and betrayal where fighting and sex become indistinguishable.
Can they overcome their compromised understanding of physical and emotional relationships to find what they both crave, even if they have yet to recognise what that is?
Set against this troubled romance is the wry subplot of a gay celebrity boxer whose manager struggles to keep the nature - and insatiability - of his fighter’s sexual appetite under wraps.
Come Out Fighting has passion, action, even some comedy - and something to say to everyone. The script manages successfully to combine a sense of gritty realism of the life of a Squaddie, of Joe's coming out and of Carl's hidden vulnerability, all with a certain amount of humour.
Come Out Fighting is a new play by Nick Bamford and performed by What Now Product!ons. New to Cornwall, the company brings decades of experience to produce engaging, original, new writing for both stage and screen.....
We examine what it is to be human..
We reflect, we explore, we question, we look at old stories and tell them in new ways, or find out what happened next...
Come Out Fighting is funded by FEAST, national Lottery and Arts Council England.

(8 NEW TALES FOR 2023!)
Nasty but nicely comic entertainment…
"In 'Owdyado’s twisted world nothing is ever what it seems.”
Lyn Gardner
‘Owdyado Theatre’s Twisted Christmas returns to the South-West this year, telling new tales, with its deliciously depraved take on the holiday season.
Featuring writers from Cornwall and across the UK, this selection of 8 original micro-plays includes tales of how to buy the perfect gift for your unloved ones, the dark side of Christmas cracker jokes, and why you should never turn your back on a pantomime dame.
Influenced by cult classics such as Inside No.9, The Twilight Zone and Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected, Twisted Christmas promises a darkly comic evening of macabre mini plays all with a festive flavour!
Watch the Twisted Tales trailer here (if you dare...!)
Twisted Tales is presented by Cornish touring company ‘Owdyado Theatre. They are well-known amongst their fans for their unique style of slick, detailed and comedic work. It will be performed by company regulars Connie Crosby and Charlotte Bister. Daniel Richards (one half of Cornwall’s longest-running cult Christmas show ‘Christmas.Time’) directs the piece.
