SUMMARY:A Very Kentish Murder II
DESCRIPTION:A Very Kentish Murder II: The Man in the Woods \n“I am terribly sorry – it is a diabolical thing.” \nBack by popular demand after his hit 2025 evening at The Alex\, join local historian Graham Birrell for another interactive evening of true crime and tragedy\, examining a long-forgotten murder investigation in Kent. Once again\, the audience becomes the jury for the night to analyse the same evidence presented at the original trial…but will you find the prime suspect guilty or not guilty? \nIt was a perfect summer’s day for a drive through the Kent countryside. Three women leave a country pub to return one of them to their now famous coastal home – but a picnic stop ends in utter disaster. The prime suspect had left a trail of mayhem around the world\, all centring on an obsession with one thing….guns. But was he bad\, or simply very\, very\, mad?

SUMMARY:General Medical Emergency Ward 10
DESCRIPTION:Following a fire in The Alex’s main hall\,  this event has been relocated to The Arden Theatre. Leslie Smith Dr\, Faversham ME13 8PW ( In the Central carpark)  \n\nThe award-winning Dyad Productions and Company Gavin Robertson are joining forces! \nIt’s a pedigree of the first degree!

Labouring away in secret\, looking for the perfect co-production has taken time\, but finally the answer has arrived! \nEvery hospital\, medical-based\, Doctors-and-Nurses cliché-ridden drama onstage in a comedy mash-up spoof! \nIt’ll have you in stitches! \nIt’s Dr Ann Fleming’s first day at St David’s\, where her unfortunately-named mentor Dr Death\, is determined to show her who’s boss. As medical emergencies overload the hapless staff\, Dr Fleming has to juggle a complicated budding love affair\, with a liver\, and a nosey Hospital boss. Not literally. \nYes – Holby City\, Casualty\, E.R. and Doctors – not to mention movies galore\, are re-imagined and invigorated by Rebecca Vaughan\, Andrew Margerison and Gavin Robertson in a pacy\, cliché-ridden comic homage to the intrigues and dramas of every hospital plotline on the big and small screen! \nTo be taken once a day (or twice if there’s a matinee). \nCreated in collaboration with the Old Town Hall\, Hemel Hempstead. \n★★★★★ ‘If you haven’t seen Dyad Productions’ work before\, you simply must’ – British Theatre Guide\n★★★★★ ’Robertson performs with a subtle conviction that’s compelling to watch’ – The Guardian

SUMMARY:Jekyll & Hyde | The Faversham Assembly Rooms
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place at the Faversham Assembly Rooms. \n\nUtterson the lawyer has a strange case on his hands. One involving blackmail\, murder – and his close friend Doctor Henry Jekyll. On the surface\, it seems like Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde couldn’t be more different people\, but there is a dark secret that ties them both together. \nThrough a series of interviews\, overheard conversations and outright confession\, Utterson slowly uncovers the grisly facts that link the\ncelebrated doctor to the monstrous Mr Hyde. But in this unbelievable story\, what can possibly be the truth? \nAward-winning performers Amelia Ace Armande and Joshua Crisp reanimate this classic Gothic horror. Morphing seamlessly between the cast of characters\, the pair conjure up murder on the misty streets of Victorian London in a delicious blend of original text\, sinuous physicality and dark humour.
