Ghosts: A SpOoooky Sitcom Parody Play

Ghosts: A SpOoooky Sitcom Parody Play

Alison can see ghosts! After inheriting a new house and a near-death experience, an eclectic mix of eccentric spirits appear before her, and chaos ensues...


It is impossible for Alison and Mike Cooper to find a new home, until Alison gets a call that she has inherited Button House from a distant relative. It seems as though their luck has turned around – but little do they know the house is haunted by nine ghosts from across the ages. After a rather unfortunate incident, Alison develops the ability to see and hear the ghosts, and the chaos of this found-family ensues.


With wedding planning, explosive bombs, Durham jokes, and the signature Ooook! sitcom karaoke scene, this student-written parody of BBC Ghosts promises to be a jam-packed two hours of fun!

Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto

Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto

Join Durham University Orchestral Society for a programme of favourites from the classical world in Elvet Methodist Church.


Full of dazzling passages, lyrical melodies and witty conversations between the soloist and orchestra, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor is the pinnacle of the composer’s oeuvre. With Joshua Evett as the soloist, look forward to half an hour of classical poise and romantic tenderness.


Prokofiev’s ‘Classical’ Symphony No. 1 is, in the composer’s own words, a symphony as Mozart or Haydn might have written if they were born in the 20th Century. Including mischief, surprises and musical fireworks, this masterpiece contains the simplicity of the classical period paired with Prokofiev’s contemporary originality.


Also featured is Wagner’s poetic and beautiful love-letter, the Siegfried Idyll, and Tony Finno’s orchestration of the only surviving movement of Debussy’s B minor Symphony - an early premonition of the genius to come.
