The iconic, Grade II Listed Stephen Joseph Theatre here in Scarborough is the home of great theatrical performances ... and Sir Alan Ayckbourn, who also lives in the town, has penned a brand new play ready for the autumn.

Birthdays Past, Birthdays Present runs at the Westborough site from 4th September to 5th October 2019.

This is Sir Alan's 83rd play, making him one of the leading playwrights in the UK, if not the world.

Sir Alan is also celebrating his 80th birthday this year so it's an important milestone for him and the theatre.

You can buy tickets from the theatre 01723 370541 and prices start at £10.

There will be a post-show Q&A session on Tuesday 1st October, a British Sign Language interpreted performance Saturday 28th September at 2.30pm and a captioned performance on Thursday 3rd October from 7.30pm.

September is synonymous with several important events.

The new academic year ... the close of the summer ... and Scarborough Jazz Festival, 20th to 22nd September.

This annual celebration of one of music's popular genres is famous for the quality of its performers and the fantastic setting at Scarborough Spa.

This year's festival is having its 17th outing and includes well-established performers and some up-and-coming stars.

For 2019 there are free Fringe Events taking place in the Spa's Grand Hall.

Tickets start at £16 for the paid-for events.
