SUMMARY:What's On Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - An Oxford Playhouse Production
DESCRIPTION:An Oxford Playhouse Production\n\nBy Edward Albee \nDirected by Mike Tweddle \nOne evening. Two couples. No place to hide. \nWelcome to the small hours at George and Martha’s – the alcohol is flowing\, the gloves are off\, and the games are just getting started. \nEdward Albee’s multi award-winning play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a wild\, gripping and darkly funny exploration of the lies we tell to protect ourselves. \nDisillusioned university professor George and his wife Martha invite an unwitting younger couple\, Nick and Honey\, into their home. It’s not long before things spiral\, dragging everyone into the heart of a tempestuous relationship. What starts as a spur of the moment nightcap turns into psychological show down. \nEdward Albee’s masterpiece of raw intensity and searing insight is directed by Oxford Playhouse Artistic Director Mike Tweddle. Don’t miss one of the most explosive nights in modern theatre. \n\nAge\n14+\nDuration\n3hrs 15mins\nInterval\nYes (performance includes two intervals)\nWarning\nContains strong language\, violence and adult themes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse\nAdditional Information\nArtwork by Patryk Hardziej

SUMMARY:Song of Myself (Display)
DESCRIPTION:Song of Myself\, 1995\, Tom Phillips RA (1937–2022)\, wire\, 360 x 180 cm.\nCredit: Estate of Tom Phillips CBE RA \nTom Phillips described Song of Myself as “an attempt to list the various identities that go to make a single artistic life”. The work borrows its title from a poem in Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. Its beginning is based on the confessional Anglo-Saxon poem\, The Seafarer\, which Phillips first came across as an undergraduate at St Catherine’s College\, Oxford. \nWithin the work\, the alert reader will find further references\, direct or cryptic\, to Homer\, Plato\, Dante\, Cervantes\, Shakespeare\, Marvell\, Conrad\, R. L. Stevenson; to the music of Wagner and Robert Schumann; and to the films of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. The text is littered with echoes of Phillips’s own artistic preoccupations: as a painter\, calligrapher\, user of stencils and maker of books. \nPhillips first made a pencil drawing of the text\, then worked with the fabricator Leo Verryt to realise the work in wire\, as a hanging poem. Other versions of the text exist\, one in a series of paintings called Curriculum Vitae (No XX\, 1992)\, and another in Self Portrait in Silver (2004). Phillips writes: “The unity of the piece in which letters are tortured into cooperation hopes to reflect an overall homogeneity in the spirit of its maker”. \nThe Bodleian Libraries also has the Tom Phillips archive in our collection.

SUMMARY:Brokenness and repair exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Glass Tank\, Oxford Brookes University\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nMonday\, 26 January 2026 to Friday\, 6 February 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the sublime beauty of techniques of visual repair across cultures\, these works invite reflection on brokenness and why it matters. \nIn recent years\, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer\, often embellished with gold or other precious metals\, known as ‘kintsugi’ has fascinated and inspired not only contemporary artists\, but also pscyhologists\, philosophers\, scientists and archaeologists. But the idea of caring for something that is broken and finding beauty in its imperfection resonates much more widely. Whether we are living with the painful yet precious memories of loss\, or trying to reassemble places of belonging from the remnants of abandoned buildings\, brokenness and repair speak to our fundamental ways of being in the world. \nThrough sculpture\, sound\, images\, and pottery\, this exhibition creates a space of dialogue between Japanese aesthetics of brokenness and repair and those of other cultures. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Sir Howard Colvin Lecture 2026: Anthony Geraghty
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nSt John’s College welcomes Professor Anthony Geraghty (University of York) for the inaugural Sir Howard Colvin Lecture. \n\n\n\n\n‘Wren\, Vanbrugh\, and Hawksmoor: the minds that made the English Baroque’\nThis lecture will revisit one of the great moments in British architectural history – the emergence of the English baroque style in the years around 1700. It will look afresh at the principal architects involved – Christopher Wren\, Nicholas Hawksmoor\, and John Vanbrugh – and it will offer new interpretations of their haunting\, compelling designs. More specifically\, the lecture will show how each of these architects grounded their work in a distinctive set of philosophical first principles\, and how it was the coming together of these discrete artistic personalities that brought the English baroque into being. The lecture will thereby revisit two of the main research areas associated with Sir Howard Colvin: the centrality of the Office of Works in the history of British architecture\, and the place of biographical analysis within the discipline of architectural history. \n\nLocation\n\n\n\nGarden Quad Auditorium\, St John’s College\n\nSt Giles’ \nOxford OX1 3JP

SUMMARY:Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:Flabbergast Theatre’s Macbeth fuses puppetry\, clowning\, physical theatre\, and exhilarating live music to bring of Shakespeare’s blood-soaked tragedy to life in this powerful and provocative interpretation. \nWith a stripped back set\, an aesthetically arresting design\, and a tight-knit ensemble of actors\, this production is a dark and visceral manifestation of the work’s essence and underlying themes\, drawing out the play’s parallels with modern society. \nFlabbergast’s Macbeth is for everyone\, a visceral and eloquent retelling of Shakespeare’s imbrued tale of vicissitude. \nAge guidance: 11+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Michael Lynch \n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n“As captivating as it is unsettling.” \n    The Telegraph\n\n“An exciting and vital interpretation of Macbeth which serves to invigorate one of Shakespeare’s best-known plays with a new intensity.” \n     British Theatre Guide\n\n“Refreshing and visually beautiful” \n    Voice Mag\n\nPick of the Fringe 2023 \n     Mervyn Stutter

SUMMARY:Brokenness and repair exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Glass Tank\, Oxford Brookes University\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nMonday\, 26 January 2026 to Friday\, 6 February 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the sublime beauty of techniques of visual repair across cultures\, these works invite reflection on brokenness and why it matters. \nIn recent years\, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer\, often embellished with gold or other precious metals\, known as ‘kintsugi’ has fascinated and inspired not only contemporary artists\, but also pscyhologists\, philosophers\, scientists and archaeologists. But the idea of caring for something that is broken and finding beauty in its imperfection resonates much more widely. Whether we are living with the painful yet precious memories of loss\, or trying to reassemble places of belonging from the remnants of abandoned buildings\, brokenness and repair speak to our fundamental ways of being in the world. \nThrough sculpture\, sound\, images\, and pottery\, this exhibition creates a space of dialogue between Japanese aesthetics of brokenness and repair and those of other cultures. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

SUMMARY:The Landscapes of Crime Fiction from Dartmoor to Cape Wrath
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n“It is my belief\, Watson\, founded upon my experience\, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.” So declares Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of the Copper Beeches—a sentiment that perfectly captures the spirit when speaking of novel crime scenes. \nWhether you’re a fan of classic whodunits or modern thrillers\, Christina Hardyment offers a fresh perspective on how place and plot intertwine in British crime fiction. She will explore novels where landscape is not just a backdrop but a driving force in the narrative. From windswept moors to shadowy city streets\, these settings shape the crimes\, the characters\, and the atmosphere in unforgettable ways. It’s a journey through literary landscapes where beauty and menace walk hand in hand. \nSpeaker\nChristina Hardyment is an author and journalist with wide interests\, including a fascination with the historical background to our everyday lives – the way we run our homes and bring up our children\, and the food we eat – and a love of literary geography: exploring the settings that inspired writers classic and modern. She is the author of numerous books\, including Arthur Ransome and Captain Flint’s Trunk\, and Novel Houses: Twenty Famous Fictional Dwellings. Her new book\, Novel Crime Scenes: Twenty Deadly Landscapes from Dartmoor to Cape Wrath\, will be published by Bodleian Library Publishing in 2026. She lives in Oxford. \nEvent information\nThe talk is hosted by the Friends of the Bodleian\, but is open to all. \nAttend in person\n\nYou can attend this talk in person in the Sir Victor Blank Lecture Theatre at the Weston Library. Find out more about getting here.\nThe Weston Library is wheelchair accessible. Find out more about accessibility at our site.\nPlease note: only bottled water is permitted in the lecture theatre.

SUMMARY:Hickory Dickory Dock
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Garlic Theatre \nIn a marvellous museum of clocks is the wonderful Mouse Clock for all to see. One day\, the clock gets broken\, and a brave little mouse runs away… \nIn another part of town\, Mrs Hickory orders a new alarm clock\, and a huge box arrives on her doorstep. Why is it so big? And what is that squeaking sound inside? \nAs time ticks by\, can Mrs Hickory and her cat Dickory catch the mouse running all over the house and will the beautiful old clock ever chime again? \nJoin us for a merry slapstick show\, starring glove puppets\, silly museum curators\, dozy delivery drivers\, a magnificent clock and that song you’ve all been waiting for ….
