‘One of the most important cultural events in Norfolk’ – Peter Wilson, former Chief Executive, Norwich Theatre Royal

The full tenth anniversary programme for Holt Festival 2018, North Norfolk’s award winning, international feast of the arts has been announced. The Festival brings outstanding theatre, music, comedy, literature, talks, children’s and visual art events to the picturesque Georgian town for eight days, from 21 to 29 July.

For the tenth anniversary year Stash Kirkbride has taken the helm as Artistic Director, and he has delivered a programme that combines the best of national and international talents with some of the cream of our own Norfolk performers.

Introducing the programme Stash said ‘It is said that if a festival can make it to its 10th year then it has truly arrived, and having long admired the achievements of Holt Festival I am thrilled and honoured to be invited to assemble the 2018 programme. I hope it does justice to the fabulous legacy left by my predecessors Tony Britten, Delaval Astley and Charles Pugh.’

Major new announcements include a Norfolk Day special appearance by the county’s best loved, most popular and rudest(!) comedy duo The Nimmo Twins. Making their first appearance at the festival the Nimmo’s outrageously hilarious and hugely popular Normal for Norfolk shows have entertained sell-out crowds for over 20 years. Two major exhibitions put Holt firmly on the international art map. A world-first exhibition of the paintings of one of Norfolk’s best loved adopted sons, Sir John Hurt, will show just how accomplished a painter he was. Another exclusive sees letters from George Orwell to his Southwold lover on public display for the first time ever.

Jasper Carrott has made good his promise to reschedule the show heart surgery forced him to cancel last year and leading political figures will be in Holt to discuss their lives and careers with well known TV and radio presenters.

Music
Music has always been a mainstay of the festival and this year’s line-up doesn’t disappoint. Internationally renowned Italian concert pianist Gloria Campaner comes to Holt for two exclusive concerts. Shadows sees her dramatically interpreting Scriabin’s Vers la Flamme and she teams up with the Polish jazz pianist Leszek Możdżer for Two Pianos: Heart of Stone. For their only planned UK appearance of the year their programme of classics including Prokofiev, Debussy and Chopin, alongside jazz improvisation and more, will be accompanied by live visuals from Italian video designer Luca Scarzella.

Other classical highlights include a concert by one of the UK’s leading tenors James Gilchrist, accompanied by Matt Wadsworth; and Norwich soprano Lisa Cassidy appears in a one-off performance of La Voix Humaine by Francis Poulenc. This is presented in a double bill with actress Tracey Catchpole’s interpretation of Cocteau’s story, in English, as The Human Voice. A further theatre/music crossover sees pianist Lucy Parham chronicle the life of Sergei Rachmaninoff with narration from acclaimed stage, TV and film actor Alex Jennings.

Music of a very different kind comes from chart topper Leo Sayer and the high energy showmanship rock, funk, blues and more of Tankus The Henge. Making a special appearance at Theatre in the Woods is the Tom Baxter Band. Tom is the writer of modern standard ‘Better’ and his popular songs have been covered by Dame Shirley Bassey, Take That, Boyzone and more.

The musical tradition of Zimbabwe is celebrated in Music of Our Ancestors by the powerful vocals and instrumental prowess of Anna Mudeka. Described as ‘The Queen’ by Duke Ellington, Peggy Lee was considered the sultriest songstress of them all. Featuring some of the finest musicians on the London jazz scene the Jo Harrop Jazz Quintet, perform songs from the Lee canon with great style and swing. The Matt Wates’ Jazzband will also be appearing in Holt with their highly accessible modern style of jazz with the emphasis on melody and groove.

Theatre & Talks
Long-time collaborator with Steven Berkoff, Linda Marlowe is one of our finest actors with countless West End, TV and film credits to her name – she was even in Eastenders between 2014-2017 as Sylvie Carter! Now she brings Berkoff’s Women, her Josie Lawrence directed, acclaimed theatrical exploration of sensuality, revenge, pathos, heart-breaking loneliness and riotous humour to Holt.
Bob Kingdom brilliantly brings the trailblazing writer of classics like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood to life in The Truman Capote Talk Show. He also performs his other great characterisation, Dylan Thomas: Return Journey at Holt. Originally directed by Anthony Hopkins, the one-man show follows the Welsh playwright on his last great lecture tour.
In another Norfolk Day event, one of Norfolk’s best-known theatre impresario’s makes a rare stage appearance. Chief Executive of Norwich Theatre Royal for 25 years, producer of West End hit The Woman in Black (theatreland’s longest running show after The Mousetrap) and many touring shows, Peter Wilson performs TS Eliot’s Four Quartets, the poet’s last great work. It will be followed by a Q&A chaired by Dame Margaret Hodge.
Colin Cloud has rapidly become the most acclaimed forensic mind reader in the country, his uncanny powers of deduction have caused him to be described as the ‘Sherlock Holmes of entertainment’. Following his 2017 Royal Variety Performance appearance he brings his show PSYCHO(Logical) to Holt prior to a month at the Edinburgh Festival.
Former Home secretary and award-winning author Alan Johnson will discuss his life and career with ITV broadcaster Becky Jago while Lord ‘Paddy’ Ashdown, leader of the Liberal Democrats for 11 years will be in conversation with BBC Radio Norfolk’s Nick Conrad. The leading party political spectrum is completed by Anne Widdecombe, Conservative MP for Maidstone from 1997-2010, who will be talking about her life and views with Nina Nannar, ITV News Arts Editor.
Multi-award winning journalist and BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson has enjoyed an illustrious career in international journalism and will be in conversation with BBC TV’s Susie Fowler-Watt. For the final talk of the Festival, BBC Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner will be discussing the themes and ideas behind his second novel, ‘Ultimatum’ with Alex Dunlop, Defence Reporter, BBC TV News (East). Frank’s 2068 debut novel, ‘Crisis’, was a Sunday Times bestseller.

Comedy
As well as the previously mentioned treat from Norfolk’s notorious Nimmo Twins there are laughs a plenty to be enjoyed. Australian cabaret sensation Pamela Shaw comes direct from New York. Her irreverent, sassy and funny new show features songs by Tim Minchin, Lennon/McCartney and Rickie Lee Jones, fused with pop, blues and contemporary Broadway hits. There’s a night of stand-up comedy featuring four of the top comics on the London circuit – Francis Foster, Helen Bauer, Phil Nichol and Paul F Taylor, as well as the much anticipated appearance from Jasper Carrott, following his enforced cancellation due to essential heart surgery last year. The legendary Brummie funnyman will present his show Stand Up and Rock blending comedy with an all-star band featuring ELO and The Move founder member Bev Bevan.

Visual Art
There has always been an exciting visual arts programme in the festival, but this year Festival Fine Art Director James Glennie has conjured up two amazing world exclusives, among a busy programme.
John Hurt as Artist is the first exhibition anywhere in the world of the late screen legend’s paintings. Sir John Hurt painted all his life, at the age of 17 he attended The Grimsby Art School (now the East Coast School of Art and Design) and in 1959 won a scholarship to St. Martin’s School of Art (now Central Saint Martin’s) in London. Most of the paintings in the exhibition have been loaned by his wife, Lady Anwen Hurt who said ‘Whenever anyone referred to John’s painting as a ‘hobby’ he was quick to point out that a painting was not something he did for relaxation or a bit of fun, he took it every bit as seriously as he took his acting career’.
Blithe Spirit features original artworks by Sir Stanley Spencer, Philip Wilson Steer, Margaret Mellis, John Piper, Sir George Clausen, Sir John Arnesby Brown and many others inspired by Walberswick, Southwold and The Blyth Estuary. The exhibition will also feature a group of unpublished love letters from George Orwell to his secret lover Eleanor Jacques of Southwold which have never before been seen in public.
Head to Head exhibits the work of Dora Gordine, Jacob Epstein and contemporaries including Frank Dobson and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, illustrating the between the wars Picasso-led movement that led artists to explore more exotic influences.
Holt is renowned for its galleries and many of them are taking part in the annual art-trail including Eileen Cooper RA at the Bircham Gallery, Eileen was the first female Keeper of the Royal Academy in almost 250 years and among the many free art talks at the festival she is In Conversation with Anwen Hurt and Whitbread Biography Award winner D J Taylor will be talking about the George Orwell letters too. For the very first time the festival is running an Open Studios event. Artists and makers living or working within 15 miles of Holt are throwing their studio doors open to the public. The Holt Festival-Sir John Hurt Art Prize is also open for entries with £1,750 and exhibition at Sainsbury Centre for Visual Art for the winning entry.

Film
To coincide with the exhibition of his paintings a short series of Sir John Hurt’s films will be screened, curated from his personal favourites by his wife Anwen. Each screening will be followed by a Q&A with Anwen, in conversation with special guests including Richard Kwietniowski, writer, director and John’s long-time friend and collaborator. The films are The Hit directed by Stephen Frears (cert 18, 1984), The Field (cert 12, Jim Sheridan 1990) and Kwietniowski’s Love & Death on Long Island (cert 15, 1997)

Children’s and Family Events
There’s plenty for the kids and families. Norwich Puppet Theatre brings The Steadfast Tin Soldier, a playful retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s poetic story for 3-8 year olds. Light, projected animations and simple materials, skilfully transformed through puppetry, create a theatrical experience that will engage and touch young hearts and minds. Young people 8-16 are invited to join Sheringham Little Theatre’s day long workshop to create A Play In A Day, culminating in a showcase performance for family and friends. There’s also daily storytelling from Amy Finnegan for the under 7’s and Comedy Club 4 Kids is just what is says in the title. A hugely popular treat for ages 6+ and adults who enjoy a swear-free hour with the international circuit’s best stand-ups and sketch acts.

Chair of the Board of Trustees Adney Payne said ‘Stash has done us proud with a richly varied programme to mark our tenth anniversary. We all still greatly miss Sir John Hurt who was such a great supporter of the Festival and I’m thrilled that we are able to show his paintings for the first time anywhere in the world. I think everyone involved in the Festival past and present should feel justifiably proud of our achievements and would especially like to say a huge thank you to the many hundreds of able and enthusiastic volunteers who work so hard every year to make the Festival a success. Gresham’s School, Holt Parish Church, the Community Centre and the Holt Book Shop have supported us from the very start and our gratitude also goes to our media partners Eastern Daily Press, North Norfolk News and Future Radio.’

Each year Holt Festival makes a substantial donation to the Holt Youth Project – one of England’s most imaginative, award winning youth schemes. Serving young people across north Norfolk, it prides itself on preventative programmes that allow young people to reach their full potential.
