National Theatre Live: Fleabag
2023-06-15 19:00 - 22:00 | The Quarterhouse, CT20 1BN
See the hilarious, award-winning, one-woman show that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, broadcast live to cinemas from London’s West End.

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, this 67-minute play is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life.
Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig cafe struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.
‘Filthy, funny, snarky and touching’ (Daily Telegraph)
‘Witty, filthy and supreme’ (Guardian)
‘Never has being a modern woman seemed so painfully funny, brutal, and hopeless all at once’ (Atlantic)
‘Funny, vibrant, and blunt as a hammerhead’ (New York Magazine)

Sacconi Chamber Music Festival: Alice Zawadzki & Fred Thomas
2023-05-20 21:30 - 23:00 | The Quarterhouse, CT20 1BN
Loosely connected to the world of jazz but realistically inhabiting their own realm, singer and violinist Alice Zawadzki, and pianist and percussionist Fred Thomas invite our Folkestone audience into a magical world of storytelling, delving into the golden age of song with the warmth and spirit of their trademark multi-lingual settings of European folk songs, as well as pieces from Alice’s latest album, Within You Is A World Of Spring.

Alice’s musical friendship with award-winning multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Fred Thomas, has grown out of almost a decade of playing together, finding joy in their shared obsessions and richness in the hidden stories of each song they embrace.
This is a sound-world sitting somewhere between the pith of folkloric music, campfire intimacy, and classical lyricism. Towards the end of tonight’s special one-off concert, they will be joined by their friends, the Sacconi Quartet, for a luxurious finale of chamber music at its most luminous, thoughtful, and quixotic.

Blithe Spirit
2023-05-11 19:30 - 22:00 | The Tower Theatre, North Road Shorncliffe, Folkestone, Kent, CT20 3HL
Thursday 11th – Saturday 13th May
FHODS are delighted to present their production of Blithe Spirit in May 2023 – it will be a hoot!
Accomplished mystery writer Charles Condomine invites the rather eccentric local psychic medium Madame Arcati to his delightful home in Kent, for dinner and a séance. The invitation is under false pretences, however, as Charles is really only interested in acquiring ‘lingo’ for his next novel – about a ‘homicidal medium’.
The evening takes a spectacular turn when Charles’s first wife Elvira returns unexpectedly, demanding Charles’s attention. This has ominous – and hilarious – consequences for Charles’s second wife Ruth; particularly since Elvira has been dead for seven years!
Noël Coward’s classic ‘improbable farce’ has never fallen from popularity since its first performance in 1941 and continues to be performed all over the world. In fact, the original run set the West-End record for non-musical plays and was not surpassed until 1957 by none other than The Mousetrap!
