Keraunothnetophobia is the fear of being struck by man-made satellites falling back to earth.  Jacqui and Robin live just a few streets apart but are both prisoners of their fear of falling things.  Robin was struck on the head as a seven-year-old and has since then sought sanctuary at home, Jacqui’s fear began during the 7/7 bombings when she was trapped on the Tube.

Technology has its uses and for Robin and Jacqui it enables them to work from home. The internet is where they meet and strike up a friendship, but as their relationship develops both are forced to confront the fear that keeps them inside and explore what is real in their lives and what really matters; could they possibly meet?

James Graham is the author of acclaimed plays such as Dear England, Ink, Quiz and Best of Enemies. A History of Falling Things premiered in 2009 and is a 21st century love story that is fearful, funny and moving.

The next Anna Howie Presents gig featuring the brilliant Nothing In Rambling and songwriter Mike Walton.

Nothing In Rambling:
Sister Suzie and Andy Twyman take you on a musical journey through Mississippi and Louisiana
performing music by artists such as Memphis Minnie, Blind Boy Fuller and Elmore James. Guided
by a mutual passion for early blues, they evoke the playfulness, power and soul of the music and the people who created it.

2024 saw the release of their highly acclaimed debut album ‘Live at Bush Hall’, which received
airplay on the Cerys Matthews BBC Radio 2 Blues Show. In 2024 they’ve played as Nothing in
Rambling at Red Rooster Festival, Upton Blues festival as well as Glastonbury. They’ve both
enjoyed success as separate artists before working together. Suzie sings and rocks the blues with
her band Sister Suzie and The Right Band. Andy performs a lauded one man band show, blending
blues with comedy, and also plays guitar in Dana Gillespie’s London Blues Band.
Their chemistry brings out the mischief and humour in songs of sexual liberation. Their emotional
connection with the stories of the early blues performers gives soul to the deep blues and gospel
songs they perform. Andy’s nimble and authentic guitar work provides the perfect backdrop for
Suzie’s powerful blues vocals and on-stage charm to shine as they come together in Nothing In Rambling.

“I adore this album, it has touched my soul” - Stephen Harrison, Blues Matters Magazine review of ‘Live at Bush Hall’

“Suzie’s voice is unforced, achieving numerous stylistic changes, while Andy’s guitar is
technically impressive, versatile and consistently delivers flawless accompaniment” - Morgan Hogarth, RnR Magazine

“[Suzie’s] vocals wash over the listener raw, naked and soulful, like the voice of a body in
anguish, looking for the answers to the questions of the soul…Twyman’s virtuosity on guitar
shines…his fingers dancing along the fretboard, creating a wild bluesy atmosphere” - Jack Austin, Blues Blast Magazine (USA)

Mike Wilton:
Mike Wilton is best known as the frontman/songwriter of 'The Standard Lamps'. The Lamps released two albums and went on to support the likes of The Who, The Pretty Things and The Bluetones to mention a few. The Lamps took a break in 2017, but Mike has continued to create with 3 solo albums to his name. Mike's songs can be described as a mixture of Blues and Rock with a British subject matter. Mike's latest album is a collection of acoustic renditions of his songs entitled 'Do It The Easy Way'.

Medea is a barbarian sorceress who fell in love with the Greek hero Jason and aided him in his quest for the famed Golden Fleece. Without her intervention, he would likely have failed and died. Now returned to Greece with their two sons, Jason seeks to take a new bride in the daughter of Creon, the Corinthian king, and tries to cast Medea aside.

Rejected and betrayed, the play concerns Medea’s bloody and terrible vengeance on her unfaithful husband and all those around him. It is a story of passionate love turned to hate, of justice and injustice confused with pride and rage, and the shocking and murderous consequences thereof.

Summer 1940. After an aerial dog fight, Pilot Officer Jack Absolute flies home to rejoin his squadron and is shocked to find old flame, Lydia, on the base. Setting his sights on winning her heart (though with turbulence and hilarity never far away) Jack’s advances quickly turn to anarchy when the young heiress demands to be loved on her own terms.

The pursuit of love is also on the minds of other squadron members, their general and the formidable owner of their country house base, the infamous Mrs Malaprop.

Sheridan’s classic comedy of manners, The Rivals, is given an uproarious update by Oliver Chris and Richard Bean, the award-winning writer of One Man, Two Guvnors.

Hilarious mix-ups, crazy word play, heartwarming and heart-wrenching fun - all peppered with swinging songs of the 1940s - this is one you really don’t want to miss!

When their teacher mysteriously disappears and strange things begin to happen, the pupils at Ennville decide to investigate and find themselves in a different dimension, a parallel world.

The Wrong Way Round is a hilarious musical mystery adventure with memorable, spine-tingling songs. Who is the Sticky Shadow? Why does Miss Sharman have a Slimeometer and why is the sign of the Zinnistar Research Facility the wrong way round?

With so many memorable characters and opportunities for our workshoppers to shine, 'The Wrong Way Round' is not to be missed!

My Girl River and Serious Child
Kris Wilkinson Hughes aka My Girl the River is a Louisiana native who is now based in the UK after a decade of songwriting in Nashville. She has recently released her third album, Songs About Space, to strong critical acclaim.

As a performer, she is funny, warm and fearless with a sackful of hook laden Americana/roots songs and a voice of sweet sugared espresso. You might find yourself singing along or shedding a tear on your journey. Love, loss, Louisiana and Hot Chicken are just some of the stops along the way. My Girl The River have performed at the Isle of Wight festival and toured with folk legend Suzanne Vega. 

“I am about to utter the most fearsome words in folk,” says Alan Young, aka Serious Child. “This is a song about my grandmother ... it’s a singalong” - Arts Republic

Roots musician Serious Child hails from an old beech wood in West Sussex, and draws from a wide range of acoustic influences from folk to pop to bossa nova. His pin sharp lyrics explore the world around us with a poet’s ear for emotion and a comedian’s eye for everyday detail. His fourth album, What Lies Beneath, is due to be released in Summer 2025.

All Maria and Callum want is the perfect Marvel meets Disney wedding…or do they? While the bride and groom each have their own serious doubts about getting married, a rabble of friends and family gather for the big day. The wedding guests have too much to drink, place bets, bicker and nearly die of starvation.

Grandma Pat is getting fed up with waiting. The groom's brother unwittingly becomes the victim of a strange game of cat and mouse. Uncle Chris accidentally spills wine on his sister's girlfriend. Janine and Cillian are divorced and can't stand to be near each other, and maid of honour Anneli is trying not to lose her mind, or get distracted by the best man.

And they said your wedding should be one of the best days of your life.

'I Do Not' is a snappy yet curiously thoughtful comedy, taking a modern look at what it means to be in love, and if marriage is really worth more than the paper it’s written on. Ridiculous in places, and touching in others, 'I Do Not' offers an updated view on what commitment really means.

A week long intensive drama workshop (for 8-14 year olds) full of games, exercises and Drama skills lead by two experienced drama practitioners.

Make new friends, discover new talents, build confidence and self awareness and have loads of fun!

Bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink.  Wear loose, comfy clothes and sensible footwear.  Cost of week £100

Venue: The Archway Theatre Studio Complex, Horley

So, bring a chair, bring a picnic, bring an open heart and wallow in the utter delight of open-air theatre! (And fear not, if you’ve accidentally brought rain, cover will be provided!)
