Thursday - 'Deceptions'

Acclaimed writer Paul Wheeler's new play is the ultimate mind game. Psychiatrist Julia Smythe is starting to believe that there are no longer any interesting cases in her field of work; things appear to be no different when a young man comes in seeking another quick fix.

What results from their sessions is a battle of wills, played out in stylish and witty banter, as each of them tries to take charge of the situation. As secrets are revealed a psychological game of cat and mouse begins, taking them both on a journey that threatens to spiral beyond their control. Who will gain the upper hand?

Tip of The Week

Sunday Swing Dance

For dancers of Modern Jive, Swing, West Coast Swing, Rock n Roll, and, for latin dancers, Salsa, Merengue & Argentine Tango - all under the direction of international DJ John Vassallo and fellow DJ guests. Why not pay a visit after shopping? Perhaps, have a boogie, a drink or a coffee and a snack? If you are a non dancer, watch the various dance styles on display and simply enjoy music from the 1940's right up to the present time. June's dancing takes place on Sunday 28th June.
