When We Dead Awaken & Figures on a Ground

Fri 9 & Sat 10 Sep • 7:30pm • Full £12 Concs £10 • Community Theatre

By Henrik Ibsen & Jeremy Gibson
Presented by made-for-the-stage 

The first performances of a double-bill of linked plays on the theme of lost loves.

A new version of Ibsen’s last (and little known) play, When We Dead Awaken, created by Jeremy Gibson, is followed by his own new play Figures on a Ground which echoes the themes and characters of Ibsen’s play in a modern setting.

A sculptor meets – quite by chance – a lost love of his youth and they begin to rekindle their passion…  a poet sits in his garden remembering his lost love and ‘conjures’ her up to re-visit their past… but will either of these encounters lead to ‘awakenings’?

“A remarkable piece of work”  On Jeremy Gibson’s The Songs I Had

Nelly – A Folk Musical

Thu 22 Sep • 7:30pm • Full £15 Concs £7.50 • Professional Theatre

Written by Graham Hopkins

What a story … Nell Gwynne – born into poverty – ended up being the most famous woman of her day. Fish hawker, orange seller and leading comedy actress. Known to history as the mistress of a king. But – and this is the point – she was (whisper it) funny. And how. Samuel Pepys called her “pretty witty Nell”.

We have cracking songs written for Nelly by Jo Freya, Robb Johnson, Reg Meuross, Lucy Ward, Boff Whalley and Dave Wilson (Winter Wilson).

It’s said the whole world knows Nell Gwynne. Our play tries to show you why.

The Father, The Son and the Unholy F**kboys

Wed 28 Sep • 8pm • Full £10 Concs £8 • Professional Theatre

By His Terecomy
Written by Alex Ricou

A Hilarious Detox from Toxic Masculinity in Film

His Terectomy is obsessed with film. The cinematic artistry, the pomp of premiers, the sweet and salty taste of popcorn. But His has noticed something that is less than savoury – or sweet – about films. So many iconic movies have been tainted by something His Terectomy absolutely cannot abide – toxic masculinity. His has had enough. It’s time to change the cinematic narrative.

The Father, The Son and the Unholy F**kboys will take you on a journey to debunk how men are portrayed in film and how we can make the world of cinema a more fabulous place.

With supporting drag acts from Alexandra Wollacott as Dwayne Pipe & Holly Leggett as Tag L’iatelle.

Contains strong language and discusses themes of a sensitive nature, including discrimination, toxic masculinity and sexism.

Please note that there is a theatre restoration levy of £1.50 per ticket. This levy applies to all transactions, whether made in person at our Box Office, by post or by phone, for all payment types. Telephone bookings incur an additional £1.80 booking fee per transaction.
