The Last South: Pursuit of the Pole
Adapted from the journals of Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott This new drama from a multiple Fringe First winning team charts the incredible journey of two of the world’s most revered explorers. Amundsen and Scott were heroes from a time when the world had just one remaining corner to be conquered - the South Pole. Based on their actual expedition diaries, this show interweaves the two journeys into a thrilling story of adventure and extreme human endeavour, transporting us to an alien landscape as unimaginably hostile as it is awe-inspiring.
Suitable for age 10 + Auditorium £12 (£11 concessions) A limited number of £5 tickets available for under 18s Duration: 2 hrs
Free programme available, and Q & A session after the show

The Darling Buds of May
H.E. Bates’s tale of idyllic country life has the tax man turning up to investigate Pop Larkin’s affairs. The fun begins when he falls for the eldest Larkin daughter and then succumbs to the charms of the whole Larkin family. Perfick!
This event is organised by LADS independently of Ludlow Assembly Rooms
Saturday 7 June, 7.30pm
American Poodle
Contemporary theatre
‘If you want to know why Americans are obese and how poodles have attained their current status then go to the Assembly Rooms’ Philip Fisher (British Theatre Guide)
Two short pieces performed by Ludlow favourite Guy Masterson (Under Milk Wood, Fern Hill). Snowball, the first piece, is a none-too-serious analysis of how the English lost America. Splayfoot is a modern American’s take on Britain - a view apparently marooned somewhere in the nineteenth century as this extremely funny piece takes the American misunderstanding of British Heritage to sublime heights.
Suitable for age 8 + Auditorium £11 (£10 concessions)
A limited number of £5 tickets available for under 18s Duration: 1 hr 5 mins
Guy will do a post-show talk and Q & A session with the audience
