Richard III – The Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre , United Kingdom

Meet Richard: the man, the myth, the monster. A new production of Shakespeare’s Richard III unfolds in the Globe Theatre this summer, with Artistic Director Michelle Terry in the title role. Richard can taste the throne, but before he can place the English crown on his own head, he must first set in motion a series of villainous events that threaten the lives of everyone around him. Imagine a world in which self-serving ambition is audaciously paraded and pursued, and murderous crimes are committed and confessed with irresistible charm and impunity. Who will stop this pathological narcissist before the whole country is deceived and destroyed? Following 2023’s ★★★★ ‘riveting’ (The Telegraph) A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Director Elle While returns to explore the enduring allure and charisma of evil. ‘Alack, I love myself.’ – Act V, scene 3 Date: Saturday 8th June 2024 Time: 2pm, followed by an optional dinner at the Real Greek Restaurant, Bankside Tickets: £62    (plus restaurant for those eating) Tickets will show as £0 below.

Bank of England Lunch June 2025

Guildhall Club Guildhall Club, Guildhall West Wing, Gresham St, London, London, United Kingdom

THE CURRENT ECONOMIC OUTLOOK - The view from the Bank of England Speaker Rob Elder – Bank of England Agent Bank of England Agents are shadowy figures who each "farms their patch", talking constantly and discretely to businesses large and small, to see how the economy is doing from their perspective, what the pinch points are and also the threats and opportunities. The Agents then convert all this raw information into considered intelligence, which is fed back into the Bank's assessment process, for a whole range of policy decisions. Agents do not talk publicly about their work, but we have friends in low places, and so are delighted to welcome Rob Elder back  once again, to speak to a small number of us, strictly under the Chatham House Rule, to give the Bank of England’s view on the economic year ahead. There is thus much to hear about from the Bank of England, and shrewd questions to be asked of Bob. Especially if you haven't been before, this is not an event not be missed, and very much one for "the bucket list"! We meet in the Private Members' Dining Room at the Guildhall Club, for lunch at 1.30pm and the meeting and meal will finishing at about 3.30pm. Date: Wednesday 25 June 2025 Time: 1.30pm - 3.30pm Tickets: £79 to include a two-course lunch and a glass of wine
