IN THE next few weeks, The Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal has an array of exciting theatrical performances that promises to entertain, educate and enthral audiences.

*First we have, Julie Madly Deeply. A charming yet cheeky cabaret that takes an engaging look at fame and random, through the eyes and voice of award-winning singer, West End actress and Fascinating Aïda star Sarah-Louise Young. Be prepared to sing along on Thursday February 27 at 8pm.

*Second on the bill is ‘How to be Immortal’ which has been developed with The Lowry and West Yorkshire Playhouse.

Theatre company, Penny Dreadful are renowned for their weird, wonderful and very dark productions and this ‘twisted’ play promises not to disappoint.

Henrietta Lacks died in West Virginia in 1951, but her cells are still alive today, dividing endlessly in laboratories, their every detail studied by scientists all over the world.

It’s taken Deborah years to come to terms with her mother’s death. Now she’s got to deal with her immortality...

Love, death, and DNA intertwine in three twisted true tales about what we leave behind. There’s live music on cello, squeezebox and ukulele, 1950s science, animations, and a song composed from human DNA coding. Coming to the Brewery on Saturday March 1 at 8pm.

*After their phenomenal international tour of Henry V, Propeller brings this legendary English story to the stage in a pocket, sixty minute reimagining (Wednesday March 12 at 1.30pm and 7.30pm). Pocket Henry tells the heroic tale of England’s greatest warrior. Watch how Henry V prepares to lead England into battle against a mighty French opponent with his band of brave, loyal brothers. Under the direction of Edward Hall, Propeller is an all-male company that brings Shakespeare’s texts to life with their trademark clear, humorous and enlightening style. After an enticing hour, young audiences are invited into the performance space with the actors to express their response to the show in the freest way possible. Pocket Henry provides an inspiring introduction not only to Shakespeare, but also to highest quality English theatre around.

* On Friday March 14 at 8pm, ARC Stockton presents ‘How to Occupy an Oil Rig’ written by Daniel Bye. Described as a playful and provocative show about protest. Funny, surprising, and just a little bit upsetting, the play is for everyone who ever wanted to change anything. You get to play with plasticine too....
