preferring the directing and acting,
something that has been in his heart
since he was twelve years old.
After recently playing King Lear,
something of a personal reward for
himself but which he found very
emotional, Michael is now looking
forward to immersing himself into
the role of director for Trinity’s
Christmas presentation, a musical
adaptation of The Secret Garden.
tHe seCret gArdenMichael is very excited at the
prospect of directing The Secret
Garden and seeing the delight
on children’s faces. He is back in
territory where he feels comfortable
doing something that he loves
and it will carry its own pressures,
although different from the ones he
experienced in
King Lear.
M ichael Elliott
is the Artistic
Director for The
Trinity Theatre
and has just completed a gruelling
run playing the title role in its
production of King Lear. His next
project will see him directing The
Secret Garden for the upcoming
Christmas presentation and Zac
Thraves caught up with him in The
Trinity Coffee Shop to discuss!
trinitY FOunderMichael has been part of the Trinity
since its inception in 1978 when he
was approached by the Civic Society
to make a use from empty church
buildings. What is now a unique
symbol of the arts in Tunbridge
Wells was once a dusty and decrepit
building crying out for some care
and attention. And it got its wish
in spades! Originally Trinity did 16
productions as a local group when
the theatre opened in the early 80s,
though that had to be re-thought,
exhausting as these things are.
Michael then moved on to work at
The National Theatre but has always
come back over the years. Three
years ago he took over the running
of Trinity and though he has
enjoyed being at the centre of
the success story for the
theatre, he admits to

... continued from cover
The Secret Garden was fi rst
produced at the Trinity by Michael
back in 1995. It was the start
of a succession of dramatised
productions that has become the
hallmark of the Trinity’s Christmas
calendar. Since that fi rst production,
the decision was made to continue
to produce shows that would stand
out as different amidst the usual
pantomimes. It was a huge risk
at the time and Michael put in
much of his own money but the
decision paid off and from there we
have seen countless re-imaginings
of popular literature, including
Worzel Gummidge and The Wind
in the Willows that have been very
successful with local audiences.
The Secret Garden will use much
of the talent pool within the Trinity
family, including actors, production
designers and stage workers. What
stood out for Michael when he fi rst
put The Secret Garden on was the
brilliant idea by his designers to use
a revolving stage; this visionary idea
gave the production a magical feel
and speeded up the transitions from
one scene to the next. Again, this
year’s offering will be full of magic
and he will be bringing many of the
ideas that worked fi fteen years ago to
this new production.
When he fi rst put The Secret Garden
on, Michael played the Gardener
as well as directing, but this time
he will give himself no such part. I
asked him what would make this
year’s production different to the one
that was produced years ago and he
reminded me that it will be what the
actors and designers will bring to the
script that will mark it out as unique.
Of his own style, Michael says that
he is a very open director, choosing
not to be autocratic but allowing the
creative team the chance to fi nd their
way with the story and to breathe. He
relies on a very professional team to
interpret its own vision and seems to
relish in the war of words that carries a
production from being good to great.
Auditions are open for The Secret
Garden and, as with many recent
productions, it will be a mix of
professional actors and local amateur
talent. His one headache could well be
the rehearsal schedule, with amateurs
unable to rehearse during the day
and children not available until the
weekends. It could be a very testing
time but the rewards from it are well
worth the stress.
tHriVing tHeAtreIt has been a good year for The Trinity
despite the current climate. Figures
have proved that here is a theatre
thriving from doing the simple things
well. The Secret Garden is a genuine
family musical that all children will
love. Both girls and boys will fi nd
characters they can connect with and
it has comedy, magic and wonderful
musical numbers. This is a must-see
for the coming Christmas season. And
Michael is a fascinating man, a gem
in our arts scene, and I wish him all
the continued success for what is a
very special theatre.

F rances Hodgson
Burnett's book The
Secret Garden has been
called one of the greatest
children's books ever. It's a heart-
warming story about an orphan
girl, who is diffi cult to get on with
because she has been neglected.
She is thurst into the company of
her invalid cousin, who has suffered
a similar fate. Between them, they
fi nd a secret garden – and manage
to fi nd the good in each other.
Hodgson Burnett was an
Englishwoman who emigrated to
America. In the mid-1890s, she
returned to England to live at Great
Maytham Hall near Rolvenden in
Kent. Here, she found a neglected
walled garden, which became the
inspriation for her novel. Originally
published as a serial in an American
magazine,
The Secret
Garden was
published
as a book
in Britain
and
America
in 1911.

This month, I’m going to
kick off with Brigadoon
– a charming musical
from Lerner and Loewe,
which tells of a Scottish village that
only appears for one day every one
hundred years. Of course, love is
involved (what else!) and much
singing is enjoyed. It was fi rst
produced in 1947 on Broadway and
ran for over 500 performances. It
quickly transferred to the West End
with similar success. In 1954 it was
turned into an all-star
Hollywood movie
starring Gene Kelly
and Cyd Charisse.
Numberjacks, those super-heroes from
CBeebies, have a live show that any
young person will surely fall in love
with. If you can stand the suspense of
the evil Spooky Spoon or The Puzzler
(scary characters for a pre-school show
in my opinion), then hop along for the
live show on 10th November.
Arts At tHe MuseuMMoving on from theatre, our museum
is continuing to build on its growing
reputation as a grand supporter of the
arts with its exhibition Artisan at the
Museum from 4th November through
to the end of December. I love the fact
that the musuem is using its space for
some really fantastic work and this
promises to fi nish the year off in style.
Although popular, it does not hold
the same place in the heart as
other Lerner and Loewe musicals
such as My Fair Lady. But it has
generated a strong following and
has enjoyed many revivals, both
professionally and on the amateur
stage. TWODS have performed
Brigadoon on many occasions
and now it returns again with
a brand new production at The
Assembly Hall Theatre from
22nd November. Featuring
much-loved classic songs such as
Almost Like Being In Love, this is
a wonderfully bright and warm
musical that is ideal for the pre-
Christmas chaos. Enjoy!

which he had to fi nd people with the

November 2011 /
And At trinitY...Trinity Theatre cinema is offering
some very powerful movies in its
November calendar. First of all
comes The Devil’s Double, a bitter
and twisted tale about an Iraqi
forced to act as a body double
for Uday Hussain, Saddam’s son.
Excellently played by Dominic
Cooper in both parts, he received
rave reviews and, from what I have
read, went through some
personal turmoil playing the
two opposing parts. Well
worth a look and surprising
that a movie like this should
come from the director of
the awful Bond movie Die
Another Day. Showing 20th
November.
Lars Von Trier is a director
who divides opinion with every
movie he makes and his latest
is no exception. Melancholia is
an apocalyptic drama about two
sisters during the wedding of
one of them, while a planet is on
course to collide with the Earth.
A brilliant cast (Kirsten Dunst,
Charlotte Gainsbourg, Keifer
Sutherland) should make this
movie, which was well received at
Cannes until Von Trier’s infamous
interview. 30th November.
To balance these two heavy
offerings, The Blind Pig’s Comedy
Trot-out comes to the Trinity
stage on 25th November and the
much-loved Comedy Café returns
on 17th November. The Blind Pig
is the brainchild of local actor
Peter Basham and offers a glorious
evening of sketches and hilarity.

the Houses
of Parliament
in 1605 by
Guy Fawkes
and his fellow
conspirators.
This is because
Catholicism
was seen as an
undesirable political and
religious force in 17th century
England.
In fact, an act of parliament was
passed in 1606 proclaiming the 5th
of November to be a day of public
thanksgiving. This remembrance was
to take the form of a morning church
service in every parish, with ringing of
bells and cannons fi ring.
Of course, these religious
tensions are largely forgotten today
in our more tolerant society, but
the Gunpowder Plot does have an
important place in British history
that should not be forgotten. For a
listing of bonfi re celebrations going
on over the month of November visit

D o we really remember
the 5th of November?
Or is it just an
excuse to let off a few
fi reworks and warm ourselves near
a bonfi re, while its real origins are
lost in time?
susseX bOnFireWell, in the villages of Sussex (and
the Kent borders), the bonfi re
tradition is very much alive, as
torch-lit processions, bonfi res
and fi reworks abound from early
September onwards.
Lewes is, of course, the most
famous, with serious attempts by
the authorities to stop people from
outside the town attending, due
to overcrowding. However, the
Battel Bonfi re Boyes claims to be
the oldest bonfi re society, with a
founding date of 1646.
Sussex bonfi re societies have their
roots in countrywide celebrations
that took place in thanksgiving for
the uncovering of the Catholic plot to

Festive markets at the Pantiles
T he Pantiles is undoubtedly
the heart of our town –
and at Christmas it’s extra
special. So warm up for
the festive season by taking a walk to
the bottom of the town and find out
what’s going on!
CHRISTMAS MARKETS
Two weekends of Christmas Markets
are set to take place on the 3rd to
4th and 17th to 18th December from
10am to 6pm on Saturdays and
10am to 4pm on Sundays. Fresh local
produce will be on sale, alongside
local craft and gift ideas. And for those
of you who really do leave it till the
last minute, a last-chance late night
shopping event – with a few surprises
in store – is also planned for Thursday
22nd December!
Meanwhile a programme of
traditional entertainment is on offer,
most of which will take place on the
illuminated bandstand, including male
voice choirs, carolers, bands and festive
Morris men. Youngsters will be kept
amused by treasure hunts and Father
Christmas, whose grotto will be located
in The Corn Exchange.
A PAntiles CHristMAs...
eXtrA sHOPPing HOurs Many of the shops on The Pantiles
will be open on Sundays and late night
Thursdays throughout December.
Christmas shopping can be stressful –
but it doesn’t have to be. The Pantiles
is such a pleasant place to be, it can
only help that decision-making process.
There are some some fabulous gift
ideas from a range of interesting and
eclectic chain and independent stores:
• aspirational brands such as Jack
Wills and ladies fashion store Coco
• new vintage concept store, Stuff &
Good Sense
• new children’s knitware store,
Sue Hill
• Gardener & Cook (above) for
horticulturists and chefs
• quality kitchen items from Trevor
Mottram, Pantiles stalwart and one of
the country’s leading kitchenware shops
Add to all this galleries, a camera
shop, a coffee specialist and Chinese
antiquities, and you can’t go wrong!
eAsY tO wAlK Or driVeWith the ice rink open at Calverley Park
and Hoopers opening extra hours over
Christmas, there’s likely to be a buzz of
activity at the bottom end of town. The
Pantiles is an easy walk from the High
Street or convenient parking is available
at The Pantiles car park on Major Yorks
Road (adjacent to The Common),
Union House on Eridge Road (before
Sainsbury’s roundabout) and at Linden
Park Road (behind the Corn Exchange).
Some street parking is also available.
stOP AwHile...Having shopped (and hopefully not
dropped!), there’s the opportunity to
dine out with a choice of English, Italian,
Spanish, Mexican and Indian cuisine
– or just grab a hot chocolate or coffee
at one of the many cafés, or something
stronger at one of the four pubs along
The Pantiles itself. Let’s drink to that!

Serves: 8-10
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time...
Rare: 20 minutes per 450g/1lb plus 20 minutes
Medium: 25 minutes per 450g/1lb plus 25 minutes
Well done: 30 minutes per 450g/1lb plus 30 minutes
you will need
� 2.7kg/6lb lean boneless rib of beef,
sirloin or traditional rump roast
� Salt and freshly milled black pepper
� 10ml/2 tsp ground allspice
� 10ml/2 tsp ground mace
� 5ml/1 tsp ground nutmeg
� 40g/1 1/2 oz light soft brown sugar
� 45ml/3 tbsp port
For the red wine gravy:
� 15ml/1 tbsp plain fl our
� 300ml/ 1/2 pint good, hot beef stock
� 300ml/ 1/2 pint good red wine
now do this:
1. Preheat the oven to Gas mark 4-5, 180-190°C, 350-375°F.
2. In a small bowl mix the spices and sugar together.
3. Place the joint on a chopping board; make several slashes over the surface of the joint, taking care not to cut the butcher’s string or elasticated meat bands and season. Coat on both sides with the spice mixture. Place the joint on a rack in a roasting tin and open roast for the preferred, calculated cooking time. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
4. Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time remove the joint from the oven and brush with the Port. Return to the oven for the remainder of the cooking time.
5. Remove the beef from the oven, cover and leave to rest for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, to make the gravy, spoon off any excess fat from the roasting tin and discard. Place the tin over a medium heat and sprinkle with the fl our. Stir well with a small whisk or spoon, add a little stock and stir again, scraping the base of the pan to release any rich, beefy sediment.
6. Add the remaining stock, wine and any meat juices from the platter. Adjust the seasoning, if required and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally or until reduced to a well-fl avoured gravy. Strain before serving.
Garnish the beef with fresh rosemary leaves and serve with seasonal vegetables and the gravy.
just ask...For advice on the best cuts of meat for everyday meals, Sunday lunches and special occasions, call in to A. Fuller Butchers in Hawkenbury. Fullers specialise in free-range meats produced by farms in the local area in Kent and Sussex. Call on 01892 526563 or visit www.fuller-butcher.co.uk

Firework Fun...
firework factsIt’s the fi rework season so here’s a special StayGo history lesson!
� The ancient Celts celebrated with bonfi res at a festival called Samhain at this time of year!
� Fireworks were invented in China, around the 7th century AD!
� We celebrate the 5th November to remember the plot to blow up parliament by Guy Fawkes in 1605!
� The Russian Tsar Peter the Great held a fi ve-hour fi rework display to celebrate the birth of his son!
� The largest fi rework display ever was held in 2006 in Madeira, when 66,326 fi reworks were set off!
the fireworks codeIt's said every year, but it’s defi nitely worth repeating. If you are holding a fi reworks party, remember the rules:
� Keep fi reworks in a closed box
� Follow the instructions
� Light all fi reworks at arms length
� Stand well back and never go back to a lit fi rework
� Never put fi reworks in your pocket
� Never throw fi reworks
� Keep pets indoors
� Use only BS 7114 fi reworks: reputable dealers will only sell fi reworks to this British Standard.
� Sparklers are not for children under 5. Teach older children to hold them at arms length.

staygo meets an eQuine theraPist & horse whisPerer...
natural with horses
N atasha Rathour is
an equine therapist
and horse whisperer.
She practises in Kent
and East Sussex, using natural
horse communication techniques.
She explained to us how equine
therapy works and how it can be
of real benefi t to people who are
experiencing challenges in their life.
what is eQuine facilitated theraPy(eft)?Horses are intuitive and healing
beings. When working with horses in
a therapeutic environment, you’ll fi nd
that they mirror your emotions and
issues. They help you get to the core
of what’s going on and in turn release
inhibitions. It's clinically proven that
being in the vicinity of horses changes
our brainwave patterns for the better.
how does it work?Participants are invited into a safe
space to communicate with horses at
liberty. The horse’s body language is
then translated in response. A series
of individually tailored activities
with the horses are then carried out.
The whole process helps to deepen
awareness of personal issues, core
feelings and areas of bodily tension
that inhibit a person’s potential.
for childrenEFT is benefi cial to all children.
It can help them to develop, learn
about themselves and others. It’s a
‘communication therapy’ that proves
to be particularly useful for children
with learning diffi culties, autism,
ADD and bipolar disorders – and
those that may fi nd it diffi cult to
express themselves coherently,
interact with other people and
carry out instructions. Children
are usually more in tune with their
bodies and feelings. Horses love
to be in their company, which is
so wonderful to see. Results in
children who have taken part in EFT
include increased concentration in
learning, confi dence, motor skills,
co-ordination and self control.
for adultsAdult participants are welcomed into a
confi dential and non-judgemental, safe
space. They are invited to speak their
truths and watch how the horses react
in response. With my help, the horse
leads the way to support the participant
to overcome fears, release patterns and
emotional blocks. Participants are then
set exercises to strengthen themselves
emotionally and mentally. Some of
the issues that EFT can help with
include: bereavement, abuse, fi nancial
worries, depression, confi dence, career,
family and personal life, self-trust and
communication plus much more.
how horses helPHorses can help you to release and
repair yourself so that you can clear
blockages in your life or ask for
guidance to change. They lovingly
support you into a more confi dent
state. Children realise what they
can achieve – their self-esteem,
concentration and learning ability
increases in leaps and bounds. Adults
feel grounded, and are able to release
stress and pent up problems.
