2010_leavers_400 Clubhouse Open Day and Barbecue from 2pm Saturday 11 September

The Edward Alleyn Club will be opening its doors to its newest members on Saturday 11 September before they embark on their university courses and Gap year itineraries. This summer's Year 13 leavers will be the Club's guests of honour at the Clubhouse's Open Day and Barbecue. All the different sections of the Club will be represented and guests will be nudged to play some games of five-a-side football, rounders, softball and mixed tennis, all in the name of good fun and frivolity. The fun and frivolity will probably continue well into the evening over the bar, pool table and darts board....

If you left Alleyn's in the last five years and fancy meeting up with your old school mates for a bit of knock around fun, please contact the office for a ticket (priced £5 each) by 6 September as we'll need to make sure we've got enough balls and burgers to go around! Remember to bring your trainers!

Autumn Season at the Michael Croft Theatre -

Francis, The Holy Jester, written and directed by Dario Fo
Fo is perhaps more familiar to British audiences for his hilarious political farces Can't Pay, Won't Pay and Accidental Death of an Anarchist. This new show, however, is a narrative about the life of the saint of Assisi, which uses stories drawn from authentic texts and from ancient folk tales of the Umbrian countryside. The story brings together courtiers, Popes, Cardinals, generals and peasants, Saints and sinners, and Jesus himself in a great pageant of characters brought to life by just one man, the extraordinary Mario Pirovano. According to one of the reviews of this production which was staged last year at the Edinburgh Festival, there's ".bawdiness, drunkenness, sex, violence, toilet humour and pigs all crammed into this show"  while another describes it as "funny, uplifting and thought-provoking". Further reviews and information on the show are available on http://mariopirovano.it
Pirovano, a self-taught actor who has been working closely with Fo since 1983, is renowned for giving hypnotic and captivating performances. David Chadderton, writing in the British Theatre Guide, described the production as "the most entertaining and funny history lesson you could hope to see, given a captivating performance by the charismatic Pirovano."
Wednesday, 15th September, at 7.30pm at the Michael Croft Theatre, Alleyn's School. Tickets; £12 (£6 Concessions) from boxoffice@alleyns.org.uk
