Nunsense in Madron

nunsensePenzance Amatuer Operatic Society are performing Nunsense, a musical comedy, at Landithy Hall in Madron on the 14th, 15th and 16th of June. Tickets are £7 each and can be purchased by calling (01736) 363350 or popping into Morrab Studio in Penzance.
Nunsense is a wonderfully funny show. Five of the 19 surviving Little Sisters of Hoboken, a one-time missionary order that ran a leper colony on an island south of France, discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, accidentally killed the other 52 residents of the convent with her tainted vichyssoise while they were off playing bingo with a group of Maryknolls. Come and see what happens next!

Tate St. Ives exhibit

For those of you looking forward to our June lecture about the Crysede textile company, you may be interested in the Summer Exhibition at Tate St. Ives.

The exhibition, which opened just a few days ago, includes some Crysede silk scarves featuring designs by a very young Patrick Heron, whose father Tom was Manager of the company. Patrick designed his first silk scarf at the age of fourteen!

Patrick Heron, from ‘The Brushwork Series No. 3’, 1998-1999.

The exhibition runs until 29 September. Admission to Tate St. Ives is £7.00 (£4.50 for concessions) and you can visit from 10:00am to 5:00pm every day, with extended hours to 6:00pm during the school holidays.
