It's almost time for Charlie Baker to come to The Plough!

🗓️ Fri 18 Sep, 8pm

Award-winning radio host, stand-up powerhouse and entertainment machine Charlie Baker returns to the stage with his brand new show: GO GET IT.

You may know him from his roles in Eastenders and Dr Who, or indeed from The Last Leg, Parenting Hell and winning on House of Games. He’s perhaps best known as a presenter on talkSPORT and Virgin Radio, but onstage Baker shifts into a different gear entirely. Expect a full-throttle entertainment experience, packed with sharp observations, infectious energy and a performance that barely pauses for breath.

'In a world that sometimes feels like it’s short on good-natured humour, Charlie Baker is a true master of his craft' ★★★★★ (Reviews Hub)

🎬 De Gaulle: Résistance at The Plough Arts Centre

🗓️ Fri 18 Sep, 2pm
🗓️ Fri 25 Sep, 10:30am

June, 1940. France collapses and signs the armistice. In the midst of the chaos, one man refuses to give up. Alone against the odds, this unknown general flees to London to save what remains of freedom.
Without an army, without backing, without hope. But with one irrational conviction – France, his France, has not laid down arms. Taking the ultimate gamble, he seeks to convince the world that the battle for France is neither over, nor lost.
Reality, however, is unyielding and seems determined to prove him wrong. Yet, little by little, resistance fighters, rebellious students and determined soldiers rise up in England, France and Africa to join the cause. Their faith, audacity and thirst for freedom defy what history seemed to have written in advance.
