Tickets are priced £18 centre aisle or £10 side aisle.

Duncan Gillkes MacLaurin writes about his friend...
Kieron, like Winston Smith (1984), was both spectacular and ordinary. Your regular guy, with a spark of genius. The mix was charming. He had a brilliant mind, a sharp wit (a scathing sense of humour), and yet a down-to-earth temperament that made him accessible to all. A Shakespearian actor who had turned to teaching, he was also a gifted storyteller and singer/songwriter.
Kieron was such great fun to be with. He made work seem like play. He was the envy of me and my colleagues as he held the students in the palm of his hand. Easy-going by nature, he had developed a gritty, no-nonsense attitude that made him a force to be reckoned with. And the students loved him because he made them feel special. He was, no doubt, the best teacher I have ever known, and I’ve known a fair few.
Kieron was a star. He knew this. Otherwise, he would have been unable to perform as he did. He gave and gave of himself in the sure knowledge that what he gave would be given to him in return, and this was what sustained him throughout his workshop marathons. A miracle at work every time. Thank you, Kieron.
