SUMMARY:The British Atom Bomb Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nWhat they didn’t tell you in Oppenheimer\n2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima. The movie\, Oppenheimer\, gives the impression that this bomb was largely an American creation\, made possible by the inspired leadership of Robert Oppenheimer. But this is not accurate. Indeed\, the bomb would not have been built without crucial pioneering work in the early years of WW2\, here in Britain. Sadly\, our early scientific lead was squandered by administrators failing to understand the engineering challenges of building a fission bomb. \nProfessor Tim Palmer CBE FRS is a Royal Society Research Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford\, who will discuss the British contribution to the bomb\, how we failed to capitalise on our early lead and why we are still paying the price for this administrative incompetence today. \nSponsored by Englefield Charitable Trust \n\n\n\nTickets\n£15 \n(includes £1.25 Corn Exchange booking fee) \n  \n

SUMMARY:O Moon of Alabama
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA Kurt Weill Cabaret\nThis evening’s star-studded show gets under the skin of Weill’s creations\, bringing you a bewitching compilation of songs from some of his most popular works. It encompasses not only the Brecht-Weill era of 1920’s Berlin but also the more upbeat and nostalgic songs from his Broadway period. Broadway and West End stars Mary Carewe and Walter Van Dyk are joined by a quartet of musicians led by international soloist Anthony Marwood. \nHaving watched a previous performance Joanna Lumley commented: “O Moon of Alabama is an entrancing show\, the evening was an unmitigated triumph. The songs are performed with beauty and skill\, heartbreaking\, scary\, funny in turn. I was bewitched throughout. This is what cabaret should be!” \nPlease note that there will be no interval in this show. \nSponsored by Mr and Mrs Graham Barker \n \n\n\n\nPerformers\nMary Carewe actor/singer\nWalter van Dyk actor/singer\nAnthony Marwood violin\nJohn Myerscough ‘cello\nJames Crabb accordion\nMichael Haslam piano \nProgramme\nKurt Weill (1900–1950)\nO Moon of Alabama: A Kurt Weill Cabaret (arr.
