What's On
MUYBRIDGE REVOLUTIONS
Pioneering moving image photographer Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) left a valuable cultural legacy to his home town of Kingston. This outstanding exhibition which includes rare and beauti-ful objects, provides a fresh insight into Muybridge‘s career and was made possible thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, plus further funding from local supporters. The exhibition will focus on his most intriguing objects; his nineteenth century glass picture zoopraxiscope discs, many of which have not been on public display before. There will also be an exhibition at Kingston University‘s Stanley Picker Gallery, which will include contemporary artwork directly inspired by the collection. This working relationship will help to confirm the continued influence of Muybridge into the 21st century.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS AT THE ROSE THEATRE
Sultry, passionate and full of the heat of Parisian summers, this is The Three Musketeers as you've never seen it before; re-imagined and re-staged in an exciting new musical directed by Francis Matthews with music by George Stiles.
With dreams of joining his childhood idols, the musketeers, D'Artagnan arrives in Paris, a city seething with deadly secrets, romance and danger.
Despite their reputation, time has not been kind to the legendary Athos, Porthos and Aramis, and they are no longer the heroes they once were. As he battles to distinguish friend from foe, D'Artagnan finds that his greatest test may be the battle for the heart of the one he loves.
Energetic and physical this new production of The Three Musketeers features an original score by George Stiles (Mary Poppins, Honk), lyrics by Paul Leigh and book by Peter Raby with Francis Matthews. Original concept by William Hobbs.
Hold on to your hearts for a gripping tale of courage, reckless hope and daring this Christmas.
