23-28 May Love Song @ The Wharf Theatre

Freddie Underwood is directing this poignant production by Abi Morgan, the author who has also brought the highly successful series The Split, to BBC1.

Inspired by T.S. Eliot’s poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock - the story of a middle-aged man who, although in love, feels his love song has never been sung - Abi Morgan's play revolves around one couple at two very different stages of their lives. First produced in 2011, the story introduces us to young lovers displaying all the optimism of youth alongside their older selves who have the wisdom and experience of age, but now face growing old with the ensuing frailties of the human body. Past and present intertwine as the older and younger couples move around each other on the stage, and this poignant piece will take the audience on a journey which ultimately leads back to the belief that…love is a leap of faith...

Sat 3 Sep DOCA: Devizes Confetti Battle

As far as we know Devizes is the only town in the world that has a Confetti Battle tradition. No one can remember the first official battle but we know its roots date back to the old Devizes Carnival in 1913, where confetti and rose petals were thrown by the crowd at people in the procession. The tradition evolved into a fully-fledged battle around 1955 when it was started by Jim Jennings.

This year's battle takes place on Saturday the 3rd of September in the Market Place.
