Did you know that the Isle of Wight's Joe Bone holds a theatrical Guinness World Record for portraying the most number of characters performed by a single actor in a single theatre performance?
Back in 2010 OnTheWight (then VentnorBlog) were fortunate enough to meet and spend time talking with the late great John Hurt. It was an incredibly special moment for us. Listen to the podcast to hear what John had to say, it was a fascinating conversation.
This weekend, The Wight Strollers return to Medina Theatre with their 35th annual pantomime. With all proceeds going to Island charities, this is one event you shouldn't miss.
Earlier in the week OnTheWight's cultural reviewer, Jonathan Dodd, spent an evening in Bonchurch in the company of the first Isle of Wight Shakespeare Festival.
