Acclaimed retelling of classic film Die Hard from Richard Marsh-Fringe First-winner, London poetry slam champion, BBC Audio Drama Best Scripted Comedy Drama award-winner and New York cop (one of these is untrue).  

When gunmen seize an LA skyscraper, off-duty policeman John McClane is the hostages’ only hope. This uplifting action romp (and unauthorised parody) celebrates the iconic 80s festive favourite while also telling the personal story of a life-long Die Hard fan. Essential viewing for Hans Gruber connoisseurs and newcomers alike.

Mozart’s two great wind octets are both serenades, yet they couldn’t be more different in style. The E flat serenade, written in 1781, is typically Mozartian with high spirits, wit and exuberance – a nod to the original idea of the serenade being outdoor entertainment on warm summer evenings. The C minor serenade, written less than a year later, is much more symphonic with a serious, almost tragic, first movement, a lilting Andante, a Minuet in strict canon, and a final set of variations that allows each instrument of the octet to shine.
