Hi Everyone

As regular as those pizza leaflets through your letter box, those PPI refund messages on your phone and the "shocking" "news" that people with a lot of money sometimes keep it overseas, we're back once again to tell you about all things Rising Sun related this coming weekend!

On Friday, THEE O COMPANY presents PEACE

Thee O' company is a group of 6 young actors, they plan to take their own work on tour to independent theatres.  And this weekend they return to the Rising Sun with a new play dealing with the tragic consequences of death, as Noah has tp come to terms with a partner’s death after finding new love…

Written by: Dshanka Djuric

Directed by: Aidan Owen.

Starring: Jordan Peedle, Dshanka Djuric, Jeremy Collins-Webb, Nia Powell and Char Nash.
