EVENTS KentEvents Othello // 1 July Winnie-the-Pooh Trail // 2 July – 4 Sep This stylish, fast-paced adaptation is set in a modern London cityscape. In the cutthroat financial world we dive into an abyss of power and intrigue, riddled with suspicion and jealousy. How much can and should be sacrificed to reach career supremacy? What if in the end there is nothing left worth fighting for? 7.30pm. Price: £20 (children 1018 £10) Charlton Place, Charlton Park, Bishopsbourne, Canterbury 5JA www.charlton-park.org / 01227 831355 Fabric // 2 July A new play by Abi Zakarian. Leah is sorting through all the stuff that has accumulated in her spare room: clothes she doesn’t wear, books she doesn’t read, things she doesn’t need. Constantly reliving events in her past, she desperately tries to unpick just where it all went wrong and who is really to blame. A raw, poignant, and unflinching look at the unravelling of one woman’s life, FABRIC questions the shifting roles and expectations of women in today’s society and asks how, if ever, they can be fulfilled. 7.30pm.
