The Ronnie Scott's All Stars: 8
The Ronnie Scott’s Story
Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, Friday November 18 at 7.30pm
Direct from London’s world-famous jazz club and combining world-class live jazz, narration and rare archive photos and video footage, The Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, led by the club’s musical director, celebrate The Ronnie Scott’s Story. Set amongst the dive bars and jazz jook joints of London’s Soho, we hear about the desperate hand-tomouth finances of the early years and the frequent police raids.
We hear how Ronnie's became neutral ground within rife gang territory and their scrapes with gangsters, including the Krays who were rumoured to have taken Ronnie and Pete 'for a little drive'! Life at Ronnie’s is evocatively reimagined
through tales of the club’s past visitors, from pop stars, film stars and politicians to comedians and royalty, but above all, the musicians. Mixing classic music from the jazz greats who have performed at Ronnie Scott’s over its incredible sixtyplus-year history, alongside tales of old Soho, miscreant musicians and police raids, this is a unique evening celebrating one of the world's most famous jazz venues, its music, and history.

0 Beautiful People 1
Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, Monday November 21 at 7.30pm
In an age where death and grieving are medicalised out of existence. The UK’s most enduring theatre double act Ridiculusmus reclaim humankind’s last taboo from imminent eradication in a paper-fine portrait of a timeless trio: cursed to eternal life without eternal youth. Amid fumbling, daily rounds of coffee, call centres and cat food, their rants, dribbles, pills and cough bombs litter an ambling blend of symbolist mysticism and synaesthesia that has the fear of an ageing world population in its sights and oozes with the positivity of elderhood and good deaths.
