forever. His family, his community and his
world would never be the same again.

to accept what is true.” - Kierkegaard
A Streetcar Named Desire
FRI 1 SEP & SAT 2 SEP · 7.30PM · £9.50/£8
Experience the excitement of live theatre in
Rapture’s vibrant production of Tennessee
Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire.
Join us for a dazzling trip to the whirlwind
world of New Orleans with this sultry and
sophisticated new production of a timeless
American masterpiece. Fading southern
belle, Blanche DuBois, seeks solace with
her sister, Stella, after her world starts to
crumble. But her downward spiral brings
her face-to-face with Stella’s husband, the
brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski. As
temperatures soar and passions rise, Blanche
and Stanley battle for Stella’s soul.
Immortalised in the Oscar-winning film
starring Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh, this
is a rare opportunity to see this iconic play,
brought to life by Rapture.
Streetcar follows in the wake of Rapture’s
popular and critically acclaimed productions
of Who’s Afraid of Vi rginia Woolf? and
Democracy.

The Libertines
TUE 19 SEP · DOORS: 7PM · £30
GRAND HALL
East Ayrshire Leisure’s allocation of tickets
is now sold out. Tickets may still be
available from Ticketmaster.
It is, quite simply, the most eagerly
anticipated British rock album of this
millennium. Even die-hard fans scarcely
believed that it’d ever get made, that its
creators would sort out their differences
long enough to scale the heights of their
first era together. But The Libertines are no
ordinary band. They are, by a long chalk, the
most important band of their generation,
and, after twelve years’ absence from the
studio, they’ve arrived to prove the nay-
sayers wrong.
Anthems For Doomed Youth is everything
those fans could’ve wished for, and more:
a reinstatement of the Libs’ Arcadian
creed, a reflection on past trials, and, most
importantly, a bold step forward. It harbours
songs of primal energy and uplift, of bitter
betrayal and loss, and of sun-lit love and
redemption.
Note: Over 14s only/under 16s must be
