🎭 The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton


Time: 19:30 - 20:30

🎭 “If this town gave out a collective breath of exhaustion, buildings would shake across the whole of England.”

▪️AGE:
12+ (Triggers: Adult Language and references to violence)

ℹ️ DETAILS
Two best mates. One HUGE party. Luton pinned by austerity. An evening of noughties bangers and shots of shitty gin mixed with the chaos of violence. A night to remember!

Following a sold out Edinburgh Fringe run, Chalk Line, presents The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return.

Set over one chaotic night, the play follows two best friends as they chase the highs of youth against a backdrop of systemic neglect. Painting a tapestry of violence and joy, it is a raw, real-time collision of friendship and survival. Told with biting wit and lyrical intensity, this production is a powerful exploration of class and identity, with a cracking house party that pulses round the corner.

Time: 20:00 - 00:00

🎶 Subsonic Sessions isn’t just another night out—it’s a sonic escape. Designed for the heads who’ve lived the scene, the ravers who know the roots, and the dancers who crave basslines that hit deeper than nostalgia.

🎼 Verdi Requiem - St Mary's Church, Woburn


Time: 19:30 - 21:30

🎼 Danesborough Chorus returns to St Mary’s Church Woburn for a performance of Verdi’s dramatic choral masterpiece.

▪️Door time:
7:00pm
▪️Start time: 7:30pm
▪️Ages: Suitable for ages 8+
(under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)
▪️Music: Classical

ℹ️ ABOUT
In 1873 the Italian poet, novelist and national hero Alessandro Manzoni died. Verdi had been a lifelong admirer and was deeply affected by his death. He decided to write a Requiem in Manzoni’s memory, and began by re-working the Libera me which he had composed five years earlier, part of an ill-fated collaboration initially conceived as a memorial to Gioachino Rossini. Though this piece is Verdi’s only large-scale work not intended for the stage, the Requiem is unashamedly theatrical in style, with passages of great tenderness and simplicity, contrasting with intensely dramatic sections. Writing at the time, the eminent conductor and pianist Hans von Bülow aptly described it as “Verdi’s latest opera, in church vestments”. The first performance of the Messa di Requiem took place on 22nd May 1874, the first anniversary of Manzoni’s death, in St. Mark’s Church, Milan. Special permission had to be obtained from the Archbishop to allow inclusion of female choristers, who were hidden behind a screen and clad in full-length black dresses and mourning veils. Although the performance was a success, the constraining circumstances and prohibition of applause produced a somewhat muted reaction. In contrast, the second performance three days later, at La Scala Opera House, was received by the capacity crowd with tumultuous enthusiasm, which has been the response of audiences ever since.
