Five things to do tonight...
Theatre:
what better way to celebrate summer (and Friday!) than with an open-air theatre performance? The Canterbury Tales will be performed tonight (7pm) by Distraction Theatre Company in the grounds of the historic Shibden Hall and Park, Halifax. The Canterbury Tales is adapted from the bawdy poems of medieval poet Geoffrey Chaucer, rewritten in modern language. Set in a tavern in the middle ages - but with a modern twist - and using a combination of original live music and well-known songs, it aims to whisk people away to a world of medieval mayhem. It's also at the venue tomorrow evening.
Theatre: Hebden Bridge Arts Festival continues with Full of Sound and Fury, a dark new comedy exploring the superstitions connected with Macbeth and the theatre (8pm, Ted Hughes Theatre, Calder High School, Mytholmroyd).
Music: young musicians Empirical jazz band's tribute to groundbreaking US alto jazz exponent Eric Dolphy at the Trades Club, Hebden Bridge (9.30pm).
Events: head back to the 1970s and dress to impress for the new '70s disco night Slinky Afro at the Venue Nightclub, Todmorden. The mid-'70s summers were impressive too, so a revival of the sounds may keep the sun shining.
TV: it's been such a long while in the happening, it seems like she was waiting to give birth to an elephant... but tonight Maria's baby finally arrives (Coronation Street, 7.30pm and 8.30pm). How will her caring chaperone Tony (who we all know murdered her husband) react to the news?
