The Vagina Monologues returns with an all star cast, featuring Sharon D Clarke, Linda Robson and Nikki Sanderson.Based on author Eve Ensler’s Vagina Interviews conducted with women from all around the world, this hilariously witty and moving collection of tales gives voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous, poignant, brave and thoroughly human stories. As sharp as Sex And The City and as unmissable as Friends - bring your mum, your best friend, your sister or even your granny – this is the ultimate girls night out… trust us! ‘Laugh out loud funny, witty provocative and deeply poignant’ The Independent

A Dark Day in Paradise by Clare Twomey 3,000 black ceramic butterflies descend on the sumptuous interiors of the Royal Pavilion. The butterflies cluster on the extravagant Banqueting Room table, across window panes, in roof lights, on mantelpieces and other surfaces throughout the ground floor rooms. Their sombre beauty is a reflection on the excesses and frivolity of the past life of the palace.
Clare Twomey is a British ceramicist/artist who works with clay in large-scale installations, sculpture and site-specific works. Over the past 10 years she has exhibited at Tate, Victoria & Albert Museum, Crafts Council, and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, Japan. A museumaker commission, funded by the MLA and the Arts Council England

Plant Portraits An exhibition of paintings by botanical artists that convey a plant’s technical form and structure as well as its beauty in ways that a photograph cannot.  Botanical drawing has a legacy of historical importance going back to the time of ancient Egypt.  Successful illustrators must be technically highly competent in drawing and painting, with a good knowledge of botany and the ability to convey the sense of wonder of the plant world. The beautiful works of art in this exhibition are complemented by magnificently illustrated botanical books and specimens from the Booth Museum collections. Plant Portraits is presented by the Botanical Art Society of Sussex in conjunction with the Booth Museum of Natural History. Booth Museum of Natural History
