Event Details
Thursday 9th – Saturday 11th November
FHODS are proud to present Abigail’s Party, Mike Leigh’s masterpiece of 70s theatre that gives the audience a chilling yet hilarious glimpse into a suburban soirée that turns to tension and tragedy.
Beverly and Laurence are a married couple whose love language is passive aggression, and things come to a cringe-inducing head when their friends and neighbours, Angela and Tony, come over for drinks and nibbles with a side of hostility.
When Susan joins the melting pot to get away from her teenage daughter Abigail’s birthday party a few doors down, the audience get to witness the hilarious chaos that comes to a head when five people who have nothing in common and no love for each other are pushed into a claustrophobic, obnoxiously decorated living room and pumped full of booze.
Expect drama, hilarity, cutting dialogue and an abject, unforgettable lesson in how to host the house party from hell!

WORLD JAZZ LIVE SESSIONS AT THE TOWER – Hosted by Maiuko
Much acclaimed jazz drummer Clark Tracey has been leading his own bands since 1981 and currently leads an ever evolving quintet as well as tribute bands to his father, the late Stan Tracey. His latest quintet features a few of the most exciting young musicians today. They recently recorded their first CD, which is due for release in the new year. The unusual inclusion of a vocalist in Clark’s quintet, next to a horn player, offers another soundscape to work with. An exceptional vocalese artist, Emily Masser adds rhythm and words from the heart of BeBop, as well as beautiful lyrics.
Alex Clarke on alto and tenor saxophones is aged 23 and won the Rising Star in the British Jazz Awards 2 years ago and was runner up in the BBC Young Jazz Musician last year. She has successfully released her debut CD “Only A Year” with Dave Newton, Dave Green and Clark.
Emily Masser is an astonishing vocalist, still 19 years of age and attending the Guildhall School of Music. Her vocalese has already introduced her to hardened jazzers, including Claire Martin and Liane Carroll, who have both endorsed her and invited her to sit in with them. Daughter of saxophonist Dean Masser, her years belie her enormous talent, which began at Chetham’s School of Music.
Graham Harvey on piano is one of our most experienced pianists, studied at Berkley College in Boston, was the Musical Director of Incognito, is currently Stacey Kent’s pianist and is much sought after as a freelancer playing with major stars including Dave O’Higgins, Alan Barnes and Mark Nightingale.
James Owston on double bass is 27, a graduate of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and again a runner up in the BBC Young Jazz Musician Finals a few years ago. Having worked in Clark’s groups since 2013, in our opinion, he is the most technically gifted upright bassist in this country and is now working with a variety of musicians.
