In 1635 King Charles I as King of England opened up his private mail carrying service for use by the public. It became known as The Royal Mail. That service developed over the 370 years since then into the company we know today. In that time, despite many changes, Royal Mail has always maintained a public presence that is instantly recognisable, most particularly with the GPO, The Post Office and Royal Mail.

But as the entire family becomes embroiled in the battle for justice against the might of the Establishment, there is a huge price to be paid by them all. The true story of The Winslow Boy was as controversial in its day (1910) as anything in the tabloids today. Terence Rattigan turned the facts into one of his finest and most engrossing plays, the winner of awards on both sides of the Atlantic. One of the UK's most versatile actors, Timothy West's stage credits include most recently Alan Bennett's The Old Country, Death of a Salesman, Macbeth, King Lear at the National Theatre, The Birthday Party and The Master Builder. Among his many television appearances are Edward VII,Hard Times, Churchill and The Generals, Brass, Blore MP, Beecham, and most recently The Alan Clarke Diaries, Bedtime and Bleak House.

When Cressida is forced to join her treacherous father in the Greek camp, can their love survive a difficult separation or will it join the other casualties of war?

All's Well That Ends Well

Dates: 19.5.2009 to 11.7.2009. The feisty but lowly Helena falls in love with Bertram, a haughty count. To gain his hand she is set a string of impossible tasks. Even if accomplished, they can hardly guarantee his love. He refuses to bed her and yet says he'll only be hers if she bears his child; and he lusts after another. Nevertheless, our heroine, whether wisely or no, refuses to give him up. War is no strife. To the dark house and the detested wife. Set against a background of sexism, snobbery and a battle between the generations, Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well turns fairytale logic on its head. A wondrous, bittersweet story. I knew the count to be a dangerous and lascivious boy, who is a whale to virginity, and devours up all the fry it finds.

Freeze Frame will showcase a selection of prints taken from the Museum's world-class historic photographs collection. The exhibition will look at two expeditions to the Arctic under Captain Edward Inglefield in 1854, and Captain George Nares in 1875-76. Both expeditions used photographic processes that were in their infancy, having been announced to the public only a few years before. Both processes involved a significant amount of bulky equipment and chemicals in order to develop the negatives. However, the technique used by Nares had a shorter exposure time allowing more photographs of the expedition activities to be recorded.

Royal Ballet: Jewels

Dates: 9.6.2009 to 19.6.2009. Created for New York City Ballet in 1967, Jewels is, in effect, three separate and complete abstract ballets with a nominal link: each is colour-themed to a gemstone, and explores a choreographic style that reflects Balanchine's dance influences and history. The romantic French manner of 'Emeralds' - second nature to the Company's dancers from long acquaintance with Giselle - begins the sequence with music by Faur, as drifting sylphs and their cavaliers inhabit a courtly and melancholy dream-world. 'Rubies', in startling contrast, brings a blast of mid-20th-century pizzazz, set to jazzinflected Stravinsky.

Corinne Rusch: Thinking Around - Metaphors in Nature

Dates: 21.4.2009 to 26.6.2009. A strange mix of stuffed animal hides and photographs create an unsettling atmosphere in thinking around metaphors in nature by Corinne Rusch. In this new installation at the Austrian Cultural Forum London, Rusch ironically explores the obvious but often understated parallels between the human will to preserve our beauty and youth, and the ubiquitous taxidermy process, artificially preserving wild and domestic animals for our human sense of ownership. The dense medium-format photographs, which hang disturbingly between a series of stuffed animal asses, show us scenes from what appears to be the back room of a taxidermists studio.
