Following last year’s roaring success in the Gala Theatre, TV’s silliest iconic game show is returning to Durham! With laughs guaranteed and all proceeds going to charity, this is one hectic night you do not want to miss!

Taskmaster Durham’ is a student version of the hit TV show, adapted to the stage in Durham for the third-year running. This show involves Durham students taking on a series of ridiculous tasks, under the watchful eye of the Taskmaster’s Assistant (Michael Nevin), for ultimate judgement by the Taskmaster (Ollie Cochran). As in the TV version, much of the evening will be improvised, with the live reactions to the tasks and the Taskmaster’s judgment both unscripted and entirely changeable. The performances will follow the structure of an episode of the show - prize task; a combination of live and pre-recorded tasks both individually and in groups; final live task of the night.

Julius Caesar, one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, navigates conspiracy, tyranny and morality - and the death and violence that follows it.

DUCT presents Shakespeare's infamous tragedy, 'Julius Caesar.' After Caesar's victorious return from war, his growing ambition begins to invoke fear and suspicion from those around him. Conspiracy grows, and as the shadows grow longer, alliances, betrayals and death flicker in the moonlight.

Presented against the backdrop of 1970's outlaw culture, 'Julius Caesar' questions morality, honour and the cost of violence - raising an important question: Who can you really trust?

Join Durham University Choral Society for a packed evening with over 100 voices showcasing the repertoire for our upcoming international tour, bringing together works of Dove, Holst and Reger in Elvet Methodist Church.

Durham University Choral Society returns to the stage for a preview of its international tour repertoire in the resonant acoustics of Elvet Methodist Church here in Durham.

Conducted by Associate Conductor Louis Allen, "Nachtwache" (night watch) is inspired by the symbol of a guard nurse at a hospital, and explores themes of nightfall, darkness and sleep in an eclectic programme reaching from Holst's "Evening Watch" to the mystical and decorative "Seek Him that Maketh the Seven Stars" by Jonathan Dove.

If you're looking for an evening of atmospheric choral music sung by a gloriously blended ensemble of over 100 singers, there's no better place to be than this in March.
