Letchworth has a thriving arts scene with a vibrant local arts centre, a much loved art deco cinema and a rich variety of workshops, exhibitions and cultural events. With plans afoot this year to convert the Broadway Cinema into a live theatre and a new arts centre scheduled to open in 2017, we believe that an even busier arts and cultural programme will add great value to the world’s first garden city. 4 WELCOME Welcome to what I hope is a terrifically exciting programme of high quality theatre, visual arts and music. If you’re one of the many people who have tickets to Broadway Cinema’s screening of War Horse, I recommend our own production, The Table, on 7th of March at St Francis Theatre. Brought to you by the brilliant Blind Summit, The Table features puppetry every bit as magical as that of War Horse. Our exciting visual arts exhibition, A Vision of Utopia in collaboration with Digswell Arts Trust, turns the entire town into a gallery with 11 new commissions on show at various iconic sites across Letchworth. June sees the arrival of Ukrainian-British violist Maxim Rysanov who performs in the Spirella Ballroom with the Russian violin virtuoso Alexander Sitkovetsky, part of a longer term artist residency for a musician who has already graced some of the world’s biggest classical music stages. Finally, do look out for details of other creative activities taking place across Letchworth. A few selected highlights are listed on pages 22 and 23. I hope there is something in the programme that interests you and I look forward to seeing you at the events. We’d like to hear your views about our arts and cultural events.

The exhibition created in collaboration with Digswell Arts Trust, sees 11 new commissions from some of the UK’s most innovative artists, who draw their inspiration from Letchworth’s unique heritage.

A VISION OF UTOPIA artists: Johann Arens Christina Byrant Mario Ercol Borza Miche Follano Why A Vision of Utopia? “The original Utopian vision of the town was as a city of the future, enjoying the benefits of both town and country. In pursuing this vision, Letchworth was endowed with some iconic places and buildings which are central to the town’s identity today. Rob Burton is a trustee of Digswell Arts and an art curator specialising in contemporary art and sculpture. Chris Groombridge Nick Jeeves Permindar Kaur Maxine King Karen Picton Tina Reid Samara Scott The exhibition seeks to connect the utopian vision of the Garden City, with the town today by reimagining this ideology through a fake ‘archive’ of what could have been and of what might be in the future.” Rob Burton, Digswell Arts Trustee 9 10 Photographer: Lorna Palmer HOUSE presentS BLIND SUMMIT WITH THE TABLE Friday 7 March, Doors Open 19:00, Show starts 19:30 at St Francis Theatre, St Francis College, Broadway, Letchworth Garden City, SG6 3PJ ADVANCE BOOKING ESSENTIAL For ages 12+ Tickets: £14 including a glass of wine or soft drink; £12 concessions, £45 family ticket (two adults and two children) To book tickets go online at www.letchworth.com/artsandculture Visit Letchworth Tourist Information Centre or call 01462 487868 House and Blind Summit present The Table Moses is a cantankerous 3 man operated puppet with a cardboard head… who lives on a table.

It is also The Royal Ballet’s signature work. To mark the Company’s 75th birthday in 2006, Monica Mason and Christopher Newton revitalised its landmark 1946 production, which re-established Petipa’s choreography as recorded by Imperial 12 Ballet régisseur Nicholas Sergeyev, to a scenario and staging developed by Ninette de Valois herself, founder of The Royal Ballet. With Oliver Messel’s gorgeous original designs wonderfully re-imagined by Peter Farmer, and additional choreography by Anthony Dowell, Christopher Wheeldon and Frederick Ashton, today’s Sleeping Beauty not only captures the mood of the original but shows that this is very much a living work for The Royal Ballet, growing and changing with the Company while celebrating its past.

The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik is a tiny tale set in the deepest dark blue sea, of a solitary explorer with a heart as big as a whale. Direct from sellout seasons in New York, Sydney, and Auckland this multi award-winning piece of heartwarming “theatrical magic” (Sunday Mail) is a one-man micro-epic about enduring love and the end of the world. “…akin to a theatrical Wall-E” (New York Times). WHY IT’S A MUST SEE A gorgeous, compelling and magical one man show by Tim Watts which manages to create this amazing deep sea world, drawing in children and adults alike.

The story follows the destruction of marriage through consuming jealousy, the abandonment of a child, and a seemingly hopeless love. Yet through remorse and regret – and after a statue comes miraculously to life – the ending is one of forgiveness and reconciliation. It is powerful material for ballet, with a story that allows for the portrayal of intense emotions between and within the characters, and the opportunity for the Company to create not just new central characters but the whole world around them. 14 KING LEAR (Theatre) Thursday 1 May, 19:00 Live broadcast at Broadway Cinema Tickets: £15 Includes a glass of wine or soft drink To buy tickets visit the Broadway Cinema Box Office or book online at www.broadway-cinema.com Academy Award winner Sam Mendes returns to the National Theatre to direct Simon Russell Beale in the title role of Shakespeare’s tragedy.

A frightening encounter with an escaped convict begins a series of events that will change his life forever. Written by one of England’s greatest authors, Charles Dickens, Great Expectations is the profound and complex story of Pip’s journey through life. Some of his most memorable characters – the terrifying Magwitch, Joe Gargery the kind and generous blacksmith, the eccentric Miss Havisham, the cold and beautiful Estella, – are vividly brought to life in this anarchic and joyful telling of this glorious tale. Using Dickens’ original text (well, mostly!), David Mynne takes you on a journey that brings you a ‘cast of thousands’ in a skilful, one-man adaptation of this epic story. 18 ADVANCE BOOKING ESSENTIAL PREPARE TO BE SCARED, AMAZED, CRY AND LAUGH David Mynne’s incredible craft of acting, miming, sound effects and emotion turns this great novel into a stunning performance.

MANON LESCAUT (Opera) Tuesday 24 June, 18:45 Live broadcast at Broadway Cinema Tickets: £15 Includes a glass of wine or soft drink To buy tickets visit the Broadway Cinema Box Office or book online at www.broadway-cinema.com Royal Opera House Live Cinema Season This early Puccini masterpiece makes a welcome return to Covent Garden after an absence of over 20 years, in a new production by Jonathan Kent under the baton of Music Director Antonio Pappano. The exciting Latvian soprano Kristine Opolais sings the title role. A consummate Puccini soprano, Opolais caused a sensation as Madama Butterfly in 2011, and with Manon Lescaut, the bold but impressionable heroine, we will see a very different side of her character. She is matched in star power by Jonas Kaufmann as her lover, Des Grieux, and Christopher Maltman as her cynical brother Lescaut. This is a much anticipated new production, and Kent’s vision of a young girl who faces temptation in the big city will surely resonate with today’s audience. 21 ARTS & CULTURE IN LETCHWORTH There’s an exciting and innovative programme of arts and cultural events happening this spring in Letchworth Garden City, from art exhibitions to dance workshops, artist residencies and drama performances.
