Dark Side of the Moon
1816: the year with no summer. As torrential rain and thunder storms bellow around the mountains of Switzerland, a young and ambitious Mary Shelley is inspired…
Join us at Bethesda Chapel as we delve into the destructive world of Mary, her lover Percy, and step-sister Claire, as she wrestles to create her Gothic thriller, Frankenstein. Ambition, rebellion and love can only sustain them for so long, will Mary’s creation prove to be her triumph or her downfall?
This is a site-specific performance and we suggest you wear warm clothes and comfortable shoes.
Performances last one hour:Thursday 26th April, 7:30pm, Friday 27th April 7:30pm & Saturday 28th April 7:30.
Tickets are 'pay what you decide' (suggested donation £5). To book visit, www.greenhousetp.co.uk

The Friends of Bethesda have run a series of well attended monthly Open Days in Bethesda Methodist Chapel following the completion of Phase I repairs in September 2007. The Open Days have usually included a performance by a local choir. The Friends of Bethesda have raised a very useful £17,000 as a result of these events which is helping towards funding the phase II repairs.
The Friends of Bethesda will hold open days to raise funds for Phase Three of the restoration of Bethesda Chapel. As the chapel has no heating the Friends will not hold open days during the winter months but the chapel will still be available for organised guided tours.
The Friends of Bethesda can open the chapel for organised tours by History Societies, schools or colleges, and recognised institutions or societies. The tours will begin with a history talk about the chapel and then a guided tour of the chapel and churchyard by knowledgeable guides. Please be aware that Bethesda has no toilet facilities and we do not allow food or drink inside the chapel.
