Jack Kerouac’s On the Road; Lincoln Drill Hall

Jack Kerouac’s On the Road; Lincoln Drill Hall Friday 28 March @ 12 pm.

Lunchtime Literature Talk with Dr. Jane Mackay.

This is the novel that shook the ‘American Dream’ and epitomised the teenage rebellion of the 1950s. It gave voice to what came to be called the ‘Beat Generation’ of underground America, with its love of rock and roll, drugs and motor bikes. Come and explore the life of this compulsive writer who anchored a particular time and place and changed what was ‘acceptable’ in literature for ever.

2pm Film: Easy Rider (1969, 92 mins, 18) Directed by Dennis Hopper and starring Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper.

Tickets: Talk only £6.50 Talk and Film £10 Tickets from 01522 873894

Theatre Imp: Irena's Vow @ Lincoln Drill Hall

Theatre Imp: Irena's Vow @ Lincoln Drill Hall
Tuesday 11 Feb–Thursday 13 Feb 2014, 7.30pm

New local amateur company Theatre Imp’s debut production is the incredible true story of Irena Gut, a Polish Catholic, who, witnessing the fate of Jews in German-occupied Poland, began a very personal rescue campaign.

Dan Gordon’s wonderful play captures Irena’s irony and sense of humour in the face of adversity and the play is as uplifting as it is thought provoking.

The team at Lincoln Drill Hall are delighted that Irena’s daughter, Jeannie, is flying from America to attend all the performances.

This UK premier coincides with commemorative events taking place to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Archaeology For The Frivolous

 The Archaeology For The Frivolous The Collection Lincoln

9 Nov 2013 - 31 Dec 2013

 

David Kirshner's exhibition interprets the events surrounding a tram incident in St. Petersburg 1915 which has been lost in time.

Kirshner's work is usually a 'commentary' on an artist or period in art history. This usually encompasses the 18th century, the Baroque and Modernism. For this exhibition Kirshner will be focusing on St. Petersburg 1915. As revolutionary fervour reaches breaking point throughout Russia, a group of artists led by Kasimir Malevich and Natalia Goncharova mount an exhibition of their work at 73 Nevsky Prospect under the banner ‘The First Futurism Exhibition, Tramway V’.

The private view for this exhibition was a lively affair, incurring mostly negative comments from critics as the work displayed was futurist; a style which was still disregarded. The title to the show alone encouraged negative attitudes as there is no Tramway in St. Petersburg with that name. This however was the intent of the artists. After the private viewing there was an incident on a tram further along the boulevard. Possible victims and perpetrators have been lost in time, only Malevich’s two drawings survive of the incident.

Kirshner’s exhibition at the Courtyard gallery is both an interpretation and a frivolous commentary on a night when passions ran high, and political events scattered the protagonists around a Europe never to be the same again.
Kirshner uses a variety of media from wood and metal to printing and photography within his work.
