SUMMARY:Beryl
DESCRIPTION:Beryl by Maxine Peake \n7th – 12th October 2024 **THURSDAY 10th OCT WITH BSL INTERPRETER** \nDirector: Neil Lloyd with Ros O’Connor \nTICKETS \nBeryl Burton OBE – probably the greatest athlete you have never heard of! \nYorkshire wife\, mother and world record holding cyclist. Always remaining an amateur she set multiple records in the 1960s\, 70s and 80s – many that remained unbeaten for decades and at times even exceeding what the men could achieve. \nShe went virtually unnoticed in the UK\, but was famous abroad. It’s said that if she had been French\, Joan of Arc would have been relegated to second place. \nHer incredible jaw dropping life story is told by six actors using a script written by the famous actress Maxine Peake. \nWe are really excited to be able to provide a BSL interpreter for the Thursday evening performance of Beryl. \n© Poster image – Stuart Hought

SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare \n17th – 22nd June 2024 \nDirector: Jenny Gore \nTICKETS \nOne of Shakespeare’s most popular works\, this play combines lyricism\, comedy\, magic and love in an enchanting and spectacular way.

SUMMARY:The Long Road
DESCRIPTION:The Long Road by Shelagh Stephenson \n8th – 13th April 2024 \nDirector: Rachel Doyle-Richards \n  \nThe Long Road was created as a collaboration between Shelagh Stephenson\, The Forgiveness project and Synergy theatre\, as a hard-hitting and honest exploration of the impact of crime\, both on the victims and the perpetrators. The Long Road is a gritty\, emotional and at times darkly humorous look at the complexity of responses to bereavement and violent crime.\nWhen eighteen-year-old Danny is fatally stabbed in a random attack his family struggles to find meaning and forgiveness. His mother’s determination to understand the atrocity “no matter the cost” brings her face to face with his killer\, forcing the family to confront the bitter senselessness of their loss.\nThis production intends to combine realistic acting style; showing the complex roles and relationships\, with heightened stylisation; highlighting the emotional claustrophobia felt by the characters. \n  \n© Poster image – Hannah Stow

SUMMARY:Hayfever
DESCRIPTION:Hayfever by Noel Coward \n26th February – 2nd March 2024 \nDirector: Hannah Stow \n  \nJudith Bliss\, a retired actress\, and her author husband David live with their two children Simon and Sorrel in the Berkshire countryside. \nA family of self-absorbed bohemians\, they pursue a life unconstrained by mainstream values. \nIndependently of each other\, they invite four guests to stay over the weekend. \nWhat ensues is a game of humiliation where the invitees eventually pair off with an entirely different member of the family. \nUnable to stand any more of their host’s self-serving behaviour the guests leave the house as quietly as they are able. \nWritten in 1924 and first produced in 1925\, Hayfever was Noel Coward’s first major commercial success\, and combines high farce with a comedy of manners. \n“…a celebration of abnormality\, and at the same time a disquieting study of both the pleasure and pains of not being able to restrain oneself.” (Evening Standard) \n© Poster image Hannah Stow

Can’t understand why he was killed. Wants to meet Emma to see if it brings some understanding/sense of peace. \nJohn-age not stated- Danny and Joe’s Father\, initially coped with Danny’s death by running\, but a knee injury leads him to shut himself off and hit the bottle.

SUMMARY:Twelfth Night
DESCRIPTION:By William Shakespeare\, directed by Jenny Gore \n5-10 December 2022 \nIf music be the food of love\, play on \nIn Shakespeare’s time\, the Festival of Twelfth Night was the night of ‘Topsy Turvydom’.  Servants became masters\, and masters became servants\, boys dressed as girls and women became men for the night. Attitudes on class and gender were turned upside down\, providing rich material for the Bard’s subversive wit. \nThe stage is filled with vividly drawn characters\, aristocrats and servants\, twins\, lovers\, musicians and jesters\, all in a confusion of disguise\, mistaken identity and unrequited love. The result is a wonderful combination of comedy and cross-gender love interest\, making the play as relevant now as when it was written. \nIt will be 59 years since the Little Theatre’s one and only previous attempt at Shakespeare (also Twelfth Night)\, in 1963. We hope you enjoy this production\, and trust it will not be so long again\, before the next one! \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Things I Know to be True
DESCRIPTION:By Andrew Bovell\, directed by Rachel Doyle Richards               \n20-25 June 2022   \nThe play follows the story of Fran and Bob Price and their four children\, over a single year. Each new season contains a crisis\, a turning point\, tough choices\, and the fall-out from those choices. \nAt the start of the play\, the youngest child\, Rosie\, asks ‘what do I know to be true?’ She is full of doubts\, but by the end of the play she has learnt a lot about the world around her. Whilst the children become more confident of their convictions\, the parents become less sure. \nThings I Know to be True is a deeply intimate drama about family life and conflicts\, featuring physical theatre choreography\, in the style of Frantic Assembly\, to emphasise the emotional connection between the characters. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
