Wednesday 4th November 7.30pm - The Lover & Landscape: An Evening of Harold Pinter performed by Open Space Theatre Before leaving for work, a man wishes his wife well for the planned visit of her lover during the afternoon. It is a long-term arrangement which apparently leaves the husband free to see his mistress. But is it? All is not as it seems in Pinter’s hilarious and quirky comedy of marital capers. Also, on the bill during an evening with Pinter is Landscape, the playwright’s classic study of the failure of communication between a man and a woman.

MEAT by James McDermott

Barns · Wingfield

Based on true events, Meat is set in Norfolk, 1742, and tells the story of a tailor condemned for sodomy and murder. Through an intimate and poetic lens, the play explores forbidden desire, secrecy, and the devastating consequences of living outside society’s rules. A haunting reflection on love, identity, and the cost of being seen. Meat by James McDermott is a bold and thought-provoking historical drama that explores identity, desire, and sexuality in rural England. Set in Diss, Norfolk, the play tells the little-known true story of Robert Carleton, a 17th-century tailor and his secret relationship with his apprentice Jon Lincoln. The story takes a dark turn when Jon’s fiancé, Mary, comes for dinner with the two tailors. Through powerful storytelling and poetic language, Meat reimagines Carleton’s experience with heart and humanity challenging audiences to confront the past while reflecting on how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go.

On Wednesday 4 November, Baden Prince Jnr brings his show "What a Woman" to Northampton’s Storytelling at the Feast of Fools. "What a Woman" celebrates Baden's Caribbean heritage and honours his grandmother, who was his guardian between the ages of 1 -15 years. It consists of a mixture of folk tales, personal memoir, poetry and spoken word. By turns informative and entertaining, humorous and dark, it contains elements of the supernatural while providing insights into what it was like growing up in a vibrant Caribbean household headed by an indomitable matriarch. We’re delighted to welcome Baden’s return visit to the Feast of Fools. He has established a considerable reputation as a storyteller in recent years, with a series of appearances including the East Anglian Storytelling Festival, the Morocco International Storytelling Festival in Marrakesh, and in July of this year the Festival at the Edge at Bromyard; he’s also appeared at Bromyard, Cambridge, Chippenham and the New Forest Folk Festivals.

Murder, Margaret and Me

Market Overton Village Hall · Oakham

The ‘funniest woman alive’, harbours a dark secret and ‘the Queen of Crime’ has the investigative instincts of her greatest creations. Margaret Rutherford and Agatha Christie: two national treasures behind one of the British film industry’s greatest franchises. Rutherford is famed for bringing Christie’s beloved spinster, Miss Marple, to the screen. However, Agatha Christie did not approve of Rutherford as Marple, and Margaret Rutherford had no interest in being involved with anything so sordid as murder. Nevertheless, with the help of the Spinster with a twinkle in her eye, Rutherford and Christie are brought together and an unlikely friendship emerges, through their shared experiences of life and loss, tragedy and tea, murder and Marple.
