SUMMARY:Teatime at Peggy’s: A Glimpse of Anglo-India. Clare Jenkins & Stephen McClarence
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a warm\, humorous and evocative afternoon celebrating the eccentric\, time-warped and fast-disappearing world of one of India’s most endangered communities. Travel writer Stephen McClarence and radio broadcaster (and former Newark Advertiser journalist) Clare Jenkins share their tales of visits to the Indian railway town Jhansi\, and a glimpse of Anglo-India. \nFor 15 years\, journalists Stephen and Clare made regular visits to Jhansi\, the Indian railway town that inspired Bhowani Junction\, John Masters’ classic 1954 tale of Anglo-Indian life during Partition. There they spent hours ‘down the rabbit hole’ with ‘Aunty Peggy’ – Peggy Cantem – and her colourful cast of friends. \nIn Peggy’s tiny\, crowded ground-floor flat\, they would reflect on Anglo-Indian life then and now: the dances (waltzes\, foxtrot\, jive)\, May Queen balls (Anglo-Indian women were famed for their beauty)\, and meals of Mulligatawny soup\, toad-in-the-hole and ‘railway lamb curry’. \nThose friends included the ladylike Gwen\, Lambretta-riding Buddie\, Cheryl with her ‘hotchpotch’ ancestry\, Winston Churchill-reciting Pastor Rao\, Peggy’s loyal maid May\, her cook Sheela and auto-rickshaw driver Anish. Conversations covered Monsoon Toad Balls (to find ‘the most hideous-looking man’)\, moonlight picnics in the jungle\, pet mongooses and the British Royal Family. \nThere are now only 30 Anglo-Indian families left in Jhansi\, many officially below the poverty line. Their first language is English\, they often dress Western-style and their homes could be in the 1950s Home Counties\, were it not for the mounted tiger’s heads alongside the Sacred Heart fridge magnets; the aviaries of parakeets outside\, the three plaster flying ducks inside; the pictures of Buckingham Palace embroidered on the antimacassars. \nTeatime at Peggy’s\, based on a half-hour Radio 4 programme – is an invaluable addition to the history and literature of this vanishing community.

SUMMARY:Count Magnus - Two Ghost Stories by M R James
DESCRIPTION:An unmissable evening at Newark’s Palace Theatre with an atmospheric performance based on the supernatural tales by Montague Rhodes James (1862 – 1936)\, the Master of the English Ghost Story\, performed by Robert Lloyd Parry. \nThe ghost stories of M.R James amuse and terrify as powerfully today as when they were first written over a century ago. Nunkie Theatre Company brings two of these classic spinechillers to life\, in this thrilling one-man show of the Count Magnus Ghost Stories. \nIn Count Magnus\, a travel writer’s over-inquisitiveness leads to a diabolical chase from darkest Sweden to rural Essex. Denmark is the setting for Number 13\, where a hotel room with the famously unlucky number\, conceals a ghastly\, baffling secret. \n“At first they hear nothing at all. Then they hear someone scream\, just as if the most inside part of his soul was twisted out of him.” \n
