Peter Donnelly

Peter Donnelly's music does not easily fit into any particular genre: a pinch of folk, a dash of pop, an occasional sprinkling of rock, and a whole lot of heart. Perhaps the one consistent thing about Peter's music is that he sings about life, life as others see it, life as he sees it, and life as he would like to see it.

Lisa Jason

With the voice of an angel and a super-hero spirit, Lisa Jason is a singer-songwriter with something to say. Her melodic and strong writing play on what's relevant to her listeners. While quietly baring her soul or belting out a classic it is wonderful to be lost or found with Lisa Jason.

Quills, Oct 6 - Oct 23

Sex. Perversion. Violence. These are the themes of the tales that drip from the ink-laden quills of the notoriously irreverent Marquis de Sade. Nothing can stop him, locked away in the Charenton lunatic asylum because of his licentious habits and scandalous literary works. Deprived of his pen, paper and ink, De Sade continues to write against all odds, and resorts to more desperate stratagems (bearing dreadful and peculiar results). For tickets or for more information visit our website.
