  • COMPETITION: Win A Box Of When In Rome Falanghina White Wine

    COMPETITION: Win A Box Of When In Rome Falanghina White Wine

    When in Rome, the premium bag in a box wine company, will this month officially launch its fundraising campaign with leading LGBT+ youth charity, Just Like Us, in support of its work empowering young LGBT+ people to promote equality in education and the workplace across the UK. Even more exciting is that THEGAYUK has five boxes to give away.

    To be in with a chance to win one of these wine boxes simply answer the question below. Winning entries will be drawn on 17th July 2018. You must be over 18 years to enter.

    When in Rome will donate the profits from every box of Falanghina white wine sold in Waitrose stores and online between June and the end of August 2018 to Just Like Us to assist in the charity’s mission to enable teachers and pupils across the country to tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying by organising activities that celebrate LGBT+ equality in education. 

    When in Rome Co-founder, Rob Malin says of the partnership: “Just Like Us is doing great things for young people who can find it tough navigating through a subject that still has stigma attached to it. We just want to show our support and help raise a bit of money for a great cause” 

    Those opting to buy a box of Falanghina this summer will get a crowd-pleasing wine perfectly suited to the summer months and do their bit for a great cause. Typically, restaurants around the bay of Naples, and as far away as Rome, serve Falanghina as their house white. Fruity and refreshing, it is coastal Southern Italy in a glass. With a hint of minerality, it goes down a treat with seafood, fish and chips or a weighty bowl of pasta and ragu. 

    To celebrate the partnership, When in Rome will be hosting tastings in selected local Waitrose stores during selected Pride weekends, such as Brighton and Edinburgh. 

     

    This competition has now ended.

    WIN tickets to see Simon Callow in De Profundis at the Vaudeville Theatre as part of The Oscar Wilde Season

    From 3 to 6 January 2018

    H.M. Prison, Reading

    Dear Bosie, After long and fruitless waiting I have determined to write to you myself, as much for your sake as for mine, as I would not like to think that I had passed through two long years of imprisonment without ever having received a single line from you, or any news or message even, except such as gave me pain.

    Wilde’s letter to Lord Alfred Douglas relates Wilde and Bosie’s relationship and extravagant lifestyle which eventually led to Wilde’s conviction and imprisonment for gross indecency, his words and wisdom sing from the page of this letter written from his prison cell.

    Performed on stage by Simon Callow, whose many one-man shows include The Mystery of Charles Dickens, Being Shakespeare and, most recently, The Man Jesus. Simon has also written many biographies, including Oscar Wilde.

    De Profundis is adapted for the stage by award-winning Frank McGuinness (The Factory Girls, Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me), acclaimed Irish playwright, poet and translator and directed by Mark Rosenblatt (Bread and Butter, Henry VIII).

    De Profundis will be playing at the Vaudeville Theatre on the Strand from 3 to 6 January 2018. To book your tickets from just £10, call 0330 333 4814 or click here

  • Win Tickets To See A Woman Of No Importance

    Win Tickets To See A Woman Of No Importance

    Win tickets to see Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance

    Classic Spring is a new theatre company, formed by Dominic Dromgoole (former Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre) to celebrate the bold and ground breaking work of proscenium playwrights in the architecture for which they wrote.

    Its first offering is an Oscar Wilde Season at the Vaudeville Theatre, revolving around his four great Victorian plays, which shocked and redefined British theatre, and still resonate and refresh today. A Woman of No Importance (6 October to 30 December) and Lady Windermere’s Fan (12 January to 7 April) are now on sale and coming soon are An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest.

    A Woman of No Importance is directed by Dominic Dromgoole and stars Olivier award winning Eve Best (A Moon for the Misbegotten and Hedda Gabler), Anne Reid (Last Tango in Halifax) Eleanor Bron and William Gaunt.

    An earnest young American woman, a louche English lord, and an innocent young chap join a house party of fin de siècle fools and grotesques. Nearby a woman lives, cradling a long buried secret. Wilde’s marriage of glittering wit and Ibsenite drama create a vivid new theatrical voice.
    ‘One can survive everything nowadays, except death, and live down anything except a good reputation’

    For more information and to book your tickets (from £19.50), call 0330 333 4814 or visit ClassicSpring.co.uk Come and share in this new adventure, and rediscover the thrill of these great plays.
