Jazz@Kirkgate for June is going to be an amazing night!
Hejira - celebrating Joni Mitchell
Sunday 23rd June 7.30pm
This band seem to be selling out concerts wherever they play. Luckily for us theyāve agreed to play at the Kirkgate.
āHejiraā is a 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, mostly from the late ā70s. Having released the albums āThe Hissing of Summer Lawnsā, āHejiraā, āDon Juanās Reckless Daughterā and āMingusā (regarded as her ājazz periodā), Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the crĆØme de la crĆØme of contemporaneous jazz musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album, āShadows And Lightā; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire. Comprising highly experienced jazz musicians, this band is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has in her own way - assimilated the poise, power and beauty of Joniās vocals, but also plays guitar with Joniās stylistic mannerisms.

THIS WEEKEND!
National Theatre Live on the Kirkgate big screen...
The Motive and the Cue
a new play by Jack Thorne
directed by Sam Mendes
Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) directs Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud and Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton in this fierce and funny new play.
1964: Richard Burton, newly married to Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgudās exacting direction. But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.
Written by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and designed by Es Devlin (The Crucible), the Evening Standard award-winning best new play was filmed live during a sold-out run at the National Theatre.
Sunday 31st March 7pm

There's set building and light focussing aplenty this afternoon, ready for our first professional live theatre show of the year!
Come along tonight (doors open at 6.30, show at 7.30pm) for Mild Peril Theatre's production of The Metamorphosis...
"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous insect.
Gregorās life is full of contradictions, confusion and reasons to feel inadequate. He works hard in a job which he dislikes in a society which he does not understand, but which allows him to provide for his family. When he begins to suffer from an unusual health complaint which threatens to jeopardise his ability to function he finds that those around him are unable to offer any help or advice. Following his shocking metamorphosis into a giant insect he begins to realise what it is that makes him human. But is it too late? As his mind adapts to his new life Gregor grows ever more distant from the world, struggling to retain his humanity.
Kafka's Prague in 1915 was full of confusing bureaucracy, indecipherable rules and regulations and a host of reasons why Gregor should grow to consider himself utterly worthless. The busy, successful and popular inhabitants of this world serve only to show Gregor just how far removed he is from their status.
Today, our world is not so different. Our government and social structures have never been more complex, confusing, and... well, Kafkaesque. The world bustles along with little time or energy to notice those around us who may be struggling, and social media bombards us with images of perfect people with perfect lives, completely unattainable for most of us.
Franz Kafka's story of a misfit trying to adapt to his busy world is as relevant now as it ever was. This new adaptation of a classic tale of alienation explores the many aspects of modern life which conspire to isolate us from each other, and what it is about be
