New Words for Old

New Words for Old: The English language is a versatile and agile thing, and as our world changes, so too does the way we use it. Sometimes we coin new words for new creations, but very often we adopt and adapt existing words to suit new purposes, or simply put two together to form a third. New Words for Old looks at the story behind some of the words we use every day and how their meanings have changed over time. From technology and fashion to politics and music, our language displays centuries of imagination and creativity, so often overlooked. Tracing the development of green from the days when it was just a colour, web when it was something spiders made and trolls when they were nothing more threatening than the baddies in fairy tales, this is a fascinating tour through the history of the words we use every day and demonstrates just how wide we cast the net when trying to describe something new.

Macbeth and Wyrd Sisters - presented by Lost for Words

Wednesday 1st, Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th November, 7:30 p.m. Cecil Hepworth Playhouse, Walton-on-Thames, KT12 1AT Book your tickets online, now: http://www.L4W.co.uk/tickets Box Office: Lost for Words Theatre Company presents Macbeth. Perfect for students studying Macbeth in English at GCSE. In the very near future, law and order has broken down and the U.K. has split into several tribes and clans, all vying for power in a desperate bid to accumulate resources and stay alive. Mistrust is everywhere and superstition is rife. Those unwilling to join in the inevitable bloody warfare have taken to the forests for refuge, where life is tough and they must rely on their wits to manipulate local clan leaders for their own benefits. In all of this chaos, one couple's deadly ambitions lead them to seize power in ever more dark and dangerous circumstances, as they spiral out of control towards their own eventual demise. Performances: Wednesday 1st, Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th November, 7:30 p.m. There will be an additional schools Matinee on Friday 3rd at p.m. especially for students studying Macbeth in GCSE English or Drama. Please contact us for more information. Lost for Words Youth Theatre presents Wyrd Sisters. Join the talented Lost for Words Youth Theatre as they venture deep into Terry Pratchett's magical, mystical Discworld. Terry Pratchett takes Shakespeare's Macbeth and then turns it up 'till the knob comes off. It's all there - a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling players, a land in peril. And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction? Three witches. Granny Weatherwax (intolerant, self-opinionated, powerful), Nanny Ogg (down-to-earth, vulgar) and Magrat Garlick (naive, fond of occult jewellery and bunnies). Performances: Thursday 2nd November at 7:30pm and Saturday 4th November at 2:30pm.
