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:Perudo
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £8/£6 \n\n\n\n\n\nAge\n15+\nDuration\n1hr\nInterval\nNo\nWarning\nContains strong language and references to eating disorders/ violence\nVenue\nBurton Taylor Studio\n\n\n\n \nUniversity of Oxford Student Season: Hilary Term 2026 \nBy Amelie Roscoe \nIt’s Jamie’s birthday\, and you’re invited… \nAmelie Roscoe’s sharp new comedic drama maps the trajectory of a friendship in glorious decline. Over the course of a single evening – and an ill-fated game of Perudo – Jamie’s birthday party spirals into a night of romantic misfire\, performative politics\, and physical conflict. \nAmidst rolling dice and bluffing partners\, Perudo poses a more fraught gamble: that of admitting that nostalgia is an inadequate currency for friendship. Pour yourself a drink and join us for a night of delicious chaos. \n\n\n\nDates & Times

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.

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 ….

SUMMARY:Folklore & Women: The power of folklore in reclaiming female stories
DESCRIPTION:Explore the power of folklore and how it helps bring women’s hidden stories back into the spotlight. Followed by Q&A. \n\n\n\n\nWomen’s stories have often been hidden or overlooked\, with history mostly told from men’s perspectives. But women have always shared their stories – through oral traditions and conversations among themselves. Think of women’s salons in 17th and 18th century France where modern fairytales were born\, or the deeper meanings behind tales of selkies and sirens. \nThis talk explores how folklore preserves and shares women’s experiences\, through stories about monsters\, mermaids\, and marriage plots. We’ll journey around the world to meet the women in these tales and the women who collected them. By uncovering these forgotten stories\, we gain a better understanding of history and discover new ways to imagine the future. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7.30pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nFollow us on IG @seedtalks \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr Joan Passey is a Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Bristol where she specialises in the gothic\, horror\, and folklore in literature and culture. She has a Masters from the University of Oxford and a PhD from the University of Exeter\, both focusing on the gothic and the supernatural. She is a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker and regularly contributes to and presents for BBC Radio 3\, and has spoken at Hay Festival and from the BBC Proms. She edits anthologies for the British Library Tales of the Weird series\, with titles including Cornish Horrors: Tales from the Land’s End\, Our Haunted Shores: Tales from the Coasts of the British Isles\, and Phantoms of Kernow: Tales from Haunted Cornwall. Her monograph\, Cornish Gothic\, 1830-1913 (University of Wales Press\, 2023) was the first to define a Cornish Gothic tradition in the nineteenth century\, and she co-edited Shirley Jackson’s Dark Tales: Reconsidering the Short Fiction (Bloomsbury\, 2024) with Robert Lloyd. \nTestimonials from our customers \n⭐ Seed Talks created a friendly and inclusive atmosphere\, it was a really wonderful experience.

SUMMARY:the Elusive 4th Dimension - Meta Mythology & the Art of Suffering
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\n\nThe Earth\, Time and the Spaces around its Reality always move\, but your Mind must remain Still\, because “We are the measure of All Things.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI AM THAT I AM & Prologues & Parables – the Mythologies of Human Reality. \nHuman Intervention. \nThere are overruling Archonic systems\, thriving on the separation of collective unity\, through disconcertments\, to siphon the individual Emotions of the Ego whilst it is distracted by insignificance. \nThe economics of this global world is a flawed logic\, forcing us to act against our will\, whereas\, if through deliberate choice\, we endure its suffering in collective Silence\, reality’s corrupt reasoning will sabotage itself. \nThe choice to endure Suffering is the Power of the Empty Mind; this is not Weakness. \nBut let us now SEE\, instead\, through role reversals if reality can tolerate neglect to its illusory desires\, thus\, opposing suffering on its systems\, in the way its reality subjects its Archonic afflictions on the World. It will not survive its own sinister Night\, because its Evil cannot face nor can it generate power of itself. \nAethenics is the Alchemical Gold @ we find at either end of the Rainbow. \nIt is the evolutionary Heart of the esoteric known\, but moreover\, the esotericisms of the unknown; therefore\, “All is Mind & the Universe\, its Mentalism.” \nThe Earth\, Time\, the Universe and Cosmos and all the Spaces around their Reality all move\, but your Mind is the Middleway of all Aethers; thus\, it must remain Still\, because “We are the measure of All Things.” \nBy the WILL of the Universe\, every human can ask Questions to discern if Reality is an individual’s Dream\, or if it is the works of “Global Illusions”. First\, however\, we must know to whom these questions should be asked. \nBut Be Ye Warned\, to whom your questions are posed. \nTo ask questions of divinity without first knowing the riddles of our own hearts are doors that will remain closed; whereas\, if the questions posed are to the Infernal\, they will be answered by Archonic substitutes that will sell us anything to prove the unbecomingness of our transcendence. \nHere is the 1st of many Mythological Allegories that will help guide your questions: \nSee Saw Hypothesis – “If you want to go up\, then someone has to go down” \nIf you Believe God made Heaven\, then God also made Hell. \nTo validate the belief in a place of paradise\, against a place of damnation\, is to accept that some Souls will have to suffer for heaven’s eternity. \nBut which Souls should be made to suffer? \nYour soul\, or your enemies\, your families\, or your friends\, all of whom\, as we are taught\, are supposedly children of Consciousness. But regardless of this flawed logic\, it is a timeless message where many will have to be damned. \nWould you be willing to give your life for someone else’s salvation\, where\, in the hands of an iconic divinity\, it could be a choice where everyone experiences transcendence? \nAnd if your sacrifice was witnessed by them\, but yet not intervened\, who then is the supreme being? \nDoes this myth as a metaphoric truth sound like the work of a “Life Eternal “ or the influence of Fear? \nIs this an elaborate hoax of a sinister jester\, pertaining to an egotistic supremacy which gains its power from our Praise and acts out Vengeance in our vulnerability? \nIf so\, then the tantamount of our lives is the circus act of Colosseum’s\, where fate is already decided as entertainment\, where some Ascend\, whilst others Fall. \nShould we wish to meet life’s true maker\, be biased not toward a paradise nor its flame\, for they are the same place. This example of heaven versus hell is not divinity\, but an ancient Human construct of mental and spiritual tyranny\, feasting on human instabilities\, that force emotional burdens that cause suffering. \nTo chase favour as you would chase any delusion of reality for success\, money\, influence or to enter the falsehoods of paradise\, whilst knowing others will be forsaken\, is to decree subservience to the Gatekeepers of the shadows\, all of whom will prevent the Light by taking our flame\, whereas\, the transcendence of a true deity would allow us to Discover & Create truth for ourselves\, for that is what “LOVE” is \nLife is the hidden sanctums written within you that no one can take\, unless if your Light is unknown\, is given freely under duress\, in poor exchanges for “This Reality”. \nThis is the gentrified farming of your Soul\, and the original “SIN\, “ in not “Knowing Thy Self.” To carelessly volunteer the coded properties of divinity locked in the heart that we\, its custodians\, were never permitted to sell\, nor for the demons of authority to take. \nThe Heart\, physically\, allegorically\, mythologically and parabolically\, is an incandescent technology of the Mind we\, in the honour of life\, are each sworn in as humans to protect from Evil. \nYou can enrol TODAY for the Cognitive Positioning Systems & Atlas (UltraViolet Mind or Numerical Indexing) Introductions\, any day @7pm UK TIME and learn the questions to become.”…the Dreams of the Worlds\, Reality won’t see coming…” \nReview the Navigation Charts of the Elusive 4th Dimension and visit the UK Website to join the “Quadrivium” or WhatsApp Network. \nGavin Gooden – Mythologist\, Author\, Philosopher & Virtuoso of the 9 Liberal Arts of LIFE \nMind ReMapping \n“the Consciousness Anonymi …” @ Meta Tech Organica \nDesign 4 Time Design 4 Space

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
