'Sometimes You Have to Be a Little Bit Naughty if You Want to Change Your Story!'

 

The streets of Dartmouth will be filled by the smell of rebellion when DARTMOUTH THEATRE COMPANY presents Roald Dahl’s 'Matilda The Musical Jr.' Telling the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. With music and lyrics written by Tim Minchin, this heart warming show is based on Roald Dahl's Tony-award winning hit musical, Matilda!

 

Dartmouth Theatre Company is a non-profit community group launched in April 2024. This production will be performed by the youth group, which is made up of children between the ages of 5 & 16, who live in Dartmouth and the surrounding area.

The children are very excited to be performing their first ever production here at The Flavel!

Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers

This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealised spaces and symbolic characters.

Poets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the south of France served this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece. Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show.

200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery, London is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood.

Made in close collaboration with the National Gallery.

Directed by David Bickerstaff – Produced by Phil Grabsky

2024 marks the 80th anniversary of D Day and, following the extracts shown at the Exercise Tiger weekend, we are offering another chance to watch Ian Phillip’s compelling film ‘Evacuation’ in full.

It tells the story of the around 3000 residents of Slapton & the surrounding villages who had to evacuate their homes for the American troops involved in Exercise Tiger, the ill-fated Allied rehearsal for the D-Day landings. The film contains fascinating footage of archive film and interviews with people who were children at the time. They had to evacuate their homes with six weeks’ notice, leaving before Christmas and taking all their possessions and livestock with them

A complimentary glass of wine will be served after the screening with the opportunity to speak to others about the film and its significance.

Friday 22 November, 5.30pm

Tickets £14 (to include a complimentary glass of wine or soft drink after the screening)

LEE tells the story of Lee Miller, American photographer. Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II, for which she paid an enormous personal price. The film is not a biopic, instead it explores the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life. As a middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male artists’ muse. Lee Miller defied the expectations and rules of the time and travelled to Europe to report from the frontline. There, in part as a reaction to her own well-hidden trauma, she used her Rolleiflex camera to give a voice to the voiceless. What Lee captured on film in Dachau and throughout Europe was shocking and horrific. Her photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among the most significant and historically important of the Second World War. She changed war photography forever, but Lee paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.
