Place Music)

Kenneth More Theatre, Oakfield Road, Ilford, Essex, IG1 1BT

Credits: Music & Lyrics by Lionel Bart Ticket Prices: £16.00

East Ender Lionel Bart was a songwriting genius having a career penning huge

global chart hits, musicals film scores and one of the biggest musicals of all time

Oliver!. He was earning every minute the same as the average working man’s

weekly wage in the 1960s, but things went wrong, very wrong and by 1972 he was

tragically declared bankrupt. Was there a ‘Happy Ending’?

West End star John Barr (Les Miserables, Aspects of Love, Evita & Sweeney Todd)

takes on the title role and is joined by some very special guests and a full band as

they perform Bart’s most unforgettable hits.

Advance Notice – put it in your diary now!

Friday 3rd November – 2.00 – 3.30 pm and 7.00 – 8.30 pm Entry:

free

Churchill Room, Wanstead Library, Spratt Hall Road, Wanstead, E11 2RQ

By popular demand: One performance of ‘What Do You See?’ (2.00 – 3.30 pm) with

touring theatre company Az2B. This play is about a care home that fails its

inspection by the Care Quality Commission and what it needs to do to put things

right. It explores the kinds of issue that can arise when people have dementia and

individual care plans need to be put in place versus the problems of

institutionalisation.

Then one performance of ‘Grandma, Remember Me’ (7.00 – 8.30 pm). This play is

about the impact of dementia on a family as seen through the eyes of the

granddaughter. There is never a dry eye but it can also disturb and at times make

you laugh.

Each play lasts an hour, after which there will be Q&A and discussion, with

refreshments before and after each performance.

Entry is free, but please let James Monger (Age UK) know if you wish to attend: 020

8220 6000

There is a further opportunity this year to see ‘Grandma, Remember

Me’ in Barking on Monday 30th October. Contact James Monger,

Age UK Redbridge, Barking & Havering, for more details about any

of the performances and joining arrangements: 020 8220 6000
