Title: Back to the Land Girls (The Land Girls of Yorkshire)
Location: Whitby Coliseum
Badapple Theatre Company Presents: ‘Back to the Land Girls’ (The Land Girls of Yorkshire)
A comedy written and directed by Kate Bramley (ex-Hull Truck Theatre), inspired by the wartime reminiscences of local Land Army Girls, with original music by Jez Lowe (Radio 2 Sony Academy Award Winner)
***
” ‘Some girls just aren’t cut out for farming…’
It’s 1942, and there are some new arrivals in the village. They’re turning heads and breaking hearts as the fine girls of the Women’s Land Army take to the hills.
Buff is a city girl dreaming of being ‘just like Vera Lynn’, while Biddy is a country girl who is ‘now’t but a hopeless romantic’. Join them on a journey of blisters, back-ache and banter as they learn all there is to know about working on the land.
This brand new show is the latest comedy two-hander from Badapple’s resident writer as she celebrates the highs and lows of the wonderful women who helped keep Britain fed during World War II, set against a backdrop of glorious music of the age, as well as new tunes by songwriter Jez Lowe.
Although a fictional tale this play owes much to the reminiscences of a number of Land Army Girls who contributed their own personal stories to this exciting new comedy.
“This is a production brimming with creativity and talent. If you get the chance to go and see this do, as it is a joyful and uplifting experience” York Press “One of the region’s brightest lights in touring theatre.” NORTHERN ECHO “

Title: Goldmark Galleries Present: David Hockney Art Exhibition – Grimm’s Fairy Tales
Location: Whitby Coliseum
Description:
A new touring exhibition, which includes over 35 outstanding original etchings by David Hockney, from his famous Grimm’s Fairy Tales suite, printed in 1969, is about to sweep across North Yorkshire and is a rare chance to buy his work. Entry to the exhibition at The Coliseum Centre is free and the doors are open between 10:30am – 5:00pm from Thursday 18th February – Saturday 20th February.
“Hockney was born in Bradford in 1937 and has since become the most successful British artist of his generation,” says Scarborough based exhibition organiser, Marc Goldmark. “These images are exuberant, inventive and memorable, and he now considers them to be one of his major successes.”
After the success of his Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse touring exhibitions in the autumn, this promises to be another stunning show. The works exhibited are instantly recognisable, and the vibrant collection offers a unique opportunity for viewers in North Yorkshire to see and purchase original etchings by this incredible artist. With prices starting at just £400, this is an amazing chance to acquire an original etching by Britain’s favourite artist.
The show is sponsored by Goldmark Gallery which has been selling great 20th century art all over the world for over 30 years. Based not in London but in Uppingham in Rutland you can see more of the work they offer at www.goldmarkart.com.
The Hockney touring exhibition begins at Whitby Coliseum 18th, 19th and 20th February. For more information go to www.goldmarkart.com/touring.html.
More about Hockney and the etchings:
David Hockney had always loved Grimm’s Fairy Tales and had read all 220 of them. He also admired earlier illustrations to them by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac. In 1969 he decided to make his own images. He especially enjoyed the elements of magic in the tales, and his images focus on his imaginative response to the descriptions in the text rather than attempting to concentrate on the most important events in the narrative. They are therefore more than simply illustrations: they stand on their own as images, independent of the stories.
For instance, Hockney chose Old Rinkrank because it starts with the words ‘A King built a glass mountain’, and he was fascinated by the problem of drawing a glass mountain. He made various attempts, even smashing a sheet of glass and drawing the ragged pieces piled up in a big heap, before finding the solution: he depicted a tree and a house with a glass mountain in front which distorts their reflection. For other images, he turned to earlier artists for inspiration: Uccello for the Prince on horseback in Rapunzel, Bosch for the Enchantress with the baby Rapunzel and Magritte’s surrealist games for the room full of straw in Rumpelstilzchen, as well as Dürer and Leonardo.
