The witch and her cat are travelling on their broomstick when they pick up some hitch-hikers – a friendly dog, a beautiful green bird and a frantic frog. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and – CRACK – it snaps in two… just as the hungry dragon appears!

A splendid dinner party concludes with a game created by the hostess. A murder in a stately home needs to be solved. Suspects, clues and red herrings await.

One of the UKs most celebrated and established musicians, Stephen Hough returns to Malvern for the first time since March 2020. He does so with two of the biggest piano works in the nineteenth-century repertoire: Schumann’s Fantasie in C (written to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Beethoven’s death and dedicated to Franz Liszt) and Liszt’s own monumental Sonata in B Minor. As he did in 2020, Stephen Hough also adds one of his own compositions to the repertoire, his Sonatina Nostalgica as well as three works by Chopin.

The distinguished author introduces and reads some of the contrasting contributions he wrote for BBC Radio 4’s Sunday morning programme ‘A Point of View’. Outstanding in their literary brilliance, with flashes of dry humour, they provide profound insights into humankind’s enlightenment, and folly.

Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded premieres at the Metropolitan Opera, wrestling with often-overlooked issues created by 21st-century warmaking: the ethical conflicts created by the use of modern military technology and the psychological and emotional toll supposedly safe remote technology takes on our service people.

The nation’s twelfth-favourite doctor brings his brand new show to Malvern, fresh from a record-breaking run at the Edinburgh Fringe and a sell-out season in the West End. This is Going to Hurt was a literary sensation, selling three million copies and becoming a multi-BAFTA-winning BBC series. Undoctored follows on from This is Going to Hurt, leaving audiences laughing and crying with Adam’s unique tales of life on and off the wards. It also contains the ‘degloving’ story because people ask for refunds if they don’t hear it.
