York Theatre Royal presents A Man For All Seasons Written by Robert Bolt; Directed by Paul Shelley; Music by Chris Madin; Designed by Nigel Hook When a man takes an oath, he's holding his own self in his hands. Like water, and if he opens his fingers then he needn't hope to find himself again. The court of King Henry VIII is a dangerous place to find yourself at odds with the monarch. So when Sir Thomas More can no longer support the king's extraordinary corruption, he quietly steps down. Too quietly. His silence is taken as a statement of disapproval, not only by the public, but by the king himself, and disapproval of the king means one thing treason. But how long can silence keep More alive? What terrifying turn of events could suddenly mean it leading to his death? A Man for All Seasons is a riveting thriller the true story of a man striving for honour in a world seething with ambition, intrigue and violence and one of the all-time classics of British theatre.

York: vive le difference! - An exhibition by Artspace showcasing very different responses to the previously presumed monolithic beauty of York, all in the context of one of the city's most beautiful and ancient churches, 'Holy Trinity', Goodramgate. The exhibition promises an exciting balance between York's baroque bombast and its more fluid, feminine sense of fun. Richard Barnes an exciting glimpse of what to expect from his much anticipated solo show at The ArtSpace, August 2008. Malcolm Ludvigsen Malcolm has responded to the brief with his characteristically Impressionistic versions of York Races. Interestingly, it's not the provocative nature of some of the work being shown in this exhibition but the inclusion of Ludvigsen that has for now attracted the most grumblings. It's fair to say that we've had a few people in or emailing us over the last 2 weeks who claim to have had enough of seeing Ludvigsen's paintings around the city. There's Ludvigsen fatigue in York! But Malcolm's got nothing to apologise for. Grafiklee has a bit of a cult following in York and Leeds, and has enjoyed great success in both cities.

This new exhibition marks the relationship between the Howard family and one of Englands most notorious monarchs. Under the glowering image of Henry VIII (one of Castle Howards most celebrated portraits), and in the shadow of the executioners axe, Surviving Henry recounts the topsy-turvy fortunes of the Howards in the 16th century and beyond. Castle Howards Curator, Dr Christopher Ridgway said, By rights the Howards of Castle Howard should not exist. During the Tudor period the Howard family seemed bent on self-destruction; time and time again they displeased their monarchs, and successive members of the family were imprisoned or beheaded. This exhibition will combine famous portraits and famous beheadings to tell a tale of danger, intrigue and narrow survival. Special Exhibition - Stubbs and Whistlejacket in York - One of the National Gallery's most iconic images is heading to York in 2008. Whistlejacket was painted by George Stubbs who spent his early career in York - even marrying in the city. This exhibition will showcase this magnificent work and will bring together work from local galleries and private collections, including a portrait of the famous racehorse Gimcrack, his midwifery illustrations and a selection of his drawings for The Anatomy of the Horse. There will also be a selection of contemporary watercolour paintings and prints depicting York Racecourse, plus other related exhibits. George Stubbs - Stubbs was born in Liverpool in 1724. He was the son of a leather worker and spent his early career painting portraits and developing his interest in anatomy. He arrived in York as a young man in 1746 from Leeds and settled in the parish of Stonegate. He married in York and two of his children were born here and baptised at St Helen's Church. Through his friend Charles Atkinson, a surgeon at York's new County Hospital, he became a superb anatomical draughtsman and supplied the illustrations for a treatise on midwifery published in 1751. From 1756, he rented a farmhouse in Horkstow, Lincolnshire, where he dissected horses in order to make detailed studies of their anatomy. The result of his work, The Anatomy of the Horse, was published in 1766. The Horkstow drawings are now owned by the Royal Academy. In around 1758 he moved to London, where his career took off. He died in 1806. Whistlejacket - Whistlejacket, foaled in 1749, was a race horse owned by the Marquess of Rockingham. His most famous victory was in a race over four miles for 2,000 guineas at York in August 1759. Stubbs painted his life-size portrait of Whistlejacket for the Marquess in 1762. According to some writers of the period the original intention was to commission an equestrian portrait of George III, but is it more likely that Stubbs always intended to show the horse alone rearing up against a neutral background.
