MALVERN Cube will offer the big "Feast" this season, which will be an autumn season of inclusive arts.

The name of the new festival, Feast, stands for Festival of Equality in Arts and Society through Theatre, and a highlight will be a performance of the haunting play, The Magnetic Diaries.

Magnetic Diaries will be showing at 6.30pm on Saturday October 15.

After a successful show run at Edinburgh Fringe, at also a well-received performance at the Ledbury Poetry Festival, local theatre company Reaction Theatre are looking forward to showing their play to a home audience.

The Magnetic Diaries is a contemporary tragedy with one dominant, inspired yet unhappy voice, and the theme is mental health.

Tickets for 'The Magnetic Diaries' are available from www.malverncube.com.

A number of arts events will take place around Malvern leading up to the "Main Course" weekend, from November 11 to November 13.

A spokesman said: "The weekend will include a range of workshops and performances to satisfy a variety of appetites. The menu will include puppetry and psychodrama workshops, open space theatre events and spoken word performances."

The spokesman added: "Fetch Theatre will be bringing "Clapper Box", a curious, participative puppet event featuring small-scale theatre booths, a lot of random objects and wonderfully written quirky adaptations of classic movies.

"They will also perform East of the Sun, West of the Moon" - an enchanting tale of adventure, mystery and romance featuring a magical white bear, a young girl and an anarchic troll."

Based on a traditional Nordic story and choreographed to an original soundtrack, one aim of the show is to demonstrate "the skill and style of Bunraku puppetry".

The spokesman added: "The Saturday evening will see a performance of the acclaimed sell-out production, recently featured in the Sunday Times Culture for London, "From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads", written and directed by Adrian Berry telling the tale of a young David Bowie obsessive.

"Powerful and touching, music and magic realism collide in this darkly funny and moving production featuring Alex Walton and the voice of comedian Rob Newman. With a blistering soundtrack, the life of the pop fan is dissected in this tale of unnatural teenage wildlife."
