In response to requests for theatre in Alfreton, Alfreton Business Club and Alfreton Grange Arts College are working together with Live & Local to do just that.

The first production is Kings of Cloth of Gold presented by Angus & Ross Theatre Company
 
The year is 1520. In this brand new family comedy, Henry VIII of England meets Frances I of France at the most magnificent tournament ever held: the 'Field of Cloth of Gold'. (So many pavilions were made of costly gold cloth that it became the byword for extravagance)

These two kings compete to outdo each other in displays of wealth, wit, feasting and sporting prowess.
Each king is proud, intelligent, and the epitome of chivalry. But who will eventually win this battle of vanity?

Come along and enjoy a fun, witty and lively performance in your own town!

My Satnav

I have a little Satnav,
It sits there in my car.
A Satnav is a driver's friend
It tells you where you are.

I have a little Satnav,
I've had it all my life,
It’s better than the normal ones,
My Satnav is my wife!

It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive,
"It's thirty miles an hour", it says
"You're doing thirty five".

It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake,
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake.

It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green,
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene.

It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear,
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.

I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device,
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice.

It fills me up with counselling;
Each journey's pretty fraught,
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - keeps me warm in bed!

Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the damned thing off !!
