Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, it is an inquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation other questions are raised: what is goodness; what is reality; what is knowledge? The Republic also addresses the purpose of education and the role of both women and men as "guardians" of the people. With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by "philosopher kings." As the text is pretty long, for reading purposes, we'll primarily focus on books 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7. Text...

The conclusion of our Philosophy & Science Series will explore the wisdom of Renaissance magic through the story and example of one figure, Paracelsus, who helps us to understand the power of healing.

The Everyman Sunday Songbook presents Sunday Songbook: Keep It Country – 100 Years of the Grand Ole Opry The Everyman Sunday Songbook goes country! Just over 100 years ago, an insignificant radio station in Nashville, Tennessee began broadcasting a one-hour programme on Saturday nights. It was called WSN Barn Dance and it featured local musicians playing the traditional hillbilly music of the Appalachian Mountains, much of it brought across the Atlantic by Irish emigrants fleeing the Great Famine. To the surprise and delight of the managers, the programme took off…and how! Listeners tuned in from all across the USA. The name was changed to the Grand Ole Opry, and over the years it developed into a multimillion-dollar business, making Nashville the centre of the country music world. Keep It Country – 100 Years of the Grand Ole Opry looks back on a century of country hits, from the trailblazing twang of Hank Williams and the rhinestone sparkle of Dolly Parton to the home-spun wisdom of Jim Reeves and the heart-wrenching anthems of Garth Brooks. Come for the songs…and leave with the memories! Age recommendation: Suitable for all ages

Leslie and Flo: Natural Women Leslie Dowdall and Flo McSweeney unite for the first time in Natural Women – a celebration of timeless music and female friendship. After decades of friendship, Irish eighties rock icons Leslie Dowdall and Flo McSweeney are finally sharing the stage together for the very first time with their brand-new show, Natural Women . Backed by an all-star band and stunning visual projections, this uplifting and soulful performance pays homage to two of music’s greatest female voices – Linda Ronstadt and Carole King. Audiences can expect to hear unforgettable classics such as ‘Up on the Roof ’, ‘You’re No Good ’, ‘I Feel the Earth Move’ and ‘It’s Too Late ’. “This show is all about women celebrating women,” says Flo. “ We’re not a tribute act – no wigs will be harmed! It’s really about Leslie and me finally performing together after more than 30 years of friendship. It’s about still being here, still doing what we love, and feeling ageless every time we step on stage.” For many, these songs were the soundtrack of the 1970s – and through Natural Women , Leslie and Flo bring them back to life with heart, authenticity and joy. Natural Women : Linda, Carole, Flo, and Leslie – four natural women, one unforgettable show. Age recommendation: Suitable for all ages Content guidance: Loud music or effects
