HULL TRUCK THEATRE AND DERBY THEATRE PRESENT


‘We’re unique... Young... Unrivalled... Smashing!’Salford 1959 – 17-year-old Jo is desperate to break free from her vulgar, wayward and manhunting mother, Helen.

Resilient and feisty, Jo’s instinct for survival and happiness leads her to a taste of honey when she falls in love with Jimmy, a black sailor on shore leave. Abandoned by her mother and left to cope on her own, Jo’s courage is tested yet again when Jimmy returns to sea, and she discovers she’s pregnant.

Defiant in the face of convention, Jo moves in with her friend Geoff, a young art student, who assumes the role of surrogate father to her unborn child. As their relationship deepens, Jo discovers that her independent spirit is both her torment and her salvation.

A Taste of Honey is Mark Babych’s debut production as Hull Truck Theatre’s new Artistic Director

Witty, painful and raw, Shelagh Delaney’s honest portrayal of a teenage girl’s tempestuous relationship with her wayward mother is an inspirational classic that has influenced a generation of writers and artists from Morrissey to Amanda Whittington. What is really special about this play is the authenticity of her writing and how she captures the ordinary and makes it extraordinary.

A heartbreaking and hilarious production that pulses with energy, love, loss and hope.

‘This is the best holiday I have ever ever ever... Of all the holidays I have ever had and put them all together none of them would be as wonderful as this one.’

Alem is fourteen, in London with his father on the best holiday he has ever had, only then the unthinkable happens, he awakes to find himself alone, a stranger in an unfamiliar country. Overnight he has become a refugee. As a violent civil war rages back home, Alem’s Ethiopian father and Eritrean mother make the heartbreaking decision to leave him in London, on his own but hopefully safe at last. Alem’s new life brings with it new challenges - from court hearings to children’s homes to life-changing friendships and loving foster families. Amidst this turmoil Alem determines to take control, to transcend his refugee label, to become Alem Kelo - an African, a Peacemaker and no longer just a Refugee Boy.

TEMPEST BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE DIRECTOR GEOFF BULLEN

An old man is comatose and near death...the play of The Tempest is his last living second, a time in which his loss is assuaged and his enemies forgiven. With an enchanting mesh of mime, masking, movement, and the music of voice, the two actors conjure storms and apparitions, lay bare treasons and counterplot, and finally transport you to a ‘brave new world’ of love and reconciliation. Minimal, magical & not to be missed.

Spring 1881 is tipping over into summer and everyone is waiting for the silver darlings, the migrating herring, on which all their livelihoods depend.

Gutting, salting and packing the herring into barrels is women’s work. So, young Molly must learn to tie her fingers if she’s going to join her mother, the obsessive Jean, and their fun-loving neighbour, Janet, as the third member of their gutting crew. But it is another tie, that between a mother and a daughter, that is at the heart of this award-winning play.

Set against the real storm that sent 129 gallant Eyemouth fishermen to a watery grave, this is a deeply affecting tale of three courageous women, reworked to include a vocal soundscape performed by the Freedom Chorus.

Get Up and Tie Your Fingers is part of Follow the Herring, a unique national touring project that combines theatre and visual arts in an atmospheric and compelling journey down the east coast of the UK.

The project welcomes the quirky and eye-catching Coat for a Boat knitted boat exhibition to Hull. Join us in putting a local stamp of the exhibition by knitting herring, seagulls or local landmarks to go alongside. Visit the website to find out how to get involved and download a herring knitting pattern.

www.customshouse.co.uk/followtheherring

Want to contribute to the exhibition, knit a herring or tell your story? Visit www.artlink.uk.net for details of local workshops and ways for groups and individuals to get involved in knitting, storytelling and other activities.

‘Turned out nice hasn’t it?’

Formby follows George Formby’s rise from awkward stable boy to one of Britain’s biggest stars. In a unique one-man performance Ewan Wardrop plays the role of Formby, as well as all the key characters involved in this fascinating slice of his life.

‘Wardrop gives a tremendous performance to deliver a hugely entertaining show that is simply ‘Champion.’WHATS ON STAGE

It’s 1972 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and Sizwe Banzi’s passbook gives him just three days to find work. No work and he’ll be deported. That was four days ago.

So when Sizwe stumbles across a dead body with a passbook, he asks himself – does his identity card

really define who he is? Could he give up his family and his name in order to survive?

Genesis Future Directors Award winner Matthew Xia directs this momentous, Tony-nominated play which exposes the struggle for freedom and identity in apartheid-era South Africa, unravelling the brutal absurdities of everyday life under oppression. Featuring astonishing performances from Sibusiso Mamba and Tonderai Munyevu.

LOOK BACK IN ANGERThe film of the play that started it all. A powerful Richard Burton plays Jimmy Porter, an intelligent but disaffected ‘angry young man’, married to long-suffering wife Alison (Mary Ure) and railing against her class. When Alison’s snooty friend Helena (Clare Bloom) arrives at their home, their clashes fuel the fire of a destructive love triangle.

Filmed in gritty, atmospheric black and white by Oscar-winning director Tony Richardson, it’s an intense and vividly written drama with pitch-perfect performances.

APRIL WED 16 7pm TICKETS £6 BILLY LIAR

Keith Waterhouse’s novel, and the film it inspired, tells the wry and charming story of undertaker’s clerk William Fisher (Tom Courtenay), whose dreams of escape from his humdrum existence manifest themselves in bizarre and often hilarious fantasies. His love for Liz (Julie Christie), a very grounded young woman, could be a new start for Billy… but will he be brave enough to leave his fantasies behind?

TO WHET YOUR APPETITE FOR A TASTE OF HONEY, OUR FILM SEASON DELVES INTO A GOLDEN AGE OF BRITISH CINEMA HISTORY. With theatre’s shift towards social realism proving immensely popular with post-war audiences, the great directors of the late 1950s seized upon the works of playwrights such as John Osborne (Look Back in Anger) and Shelagh Delaney, as well as writers such as Alan Sillitoe (Saturday Night & Sunday Morning), David Storey (This Sporting Life) and Keith Waterhouse (Billy Liar), turning them into films that, like the works that inspired them, still stand the test of time today.

Join our Associate Director Nick Lane for an introduction to these classic kitchen sink dramas and a discussion of their relationship to our headline production A Taste of Honey.

MIKE WALKER AND STUART MCCALLUMTwo of the country’s best known and most loved guitarists come together in a new acoustic setting. Using five different guitars they create original music and standards that are reimagined into fresh shapes. Mike Walker is an acclaimed guitarist with The Impossible Gentlemen, Kenny Wheeler and George Russell. Stuart McCallum is the driving force behind the Cinematic Orchestra. By opting to play in small venues they can create intense and beautiful music.

JAY PHELPS AND SOWETO KINCH QUARTETAn astonishing coup for the Jazz Festival - book early! Jay Phelps and Soweto Kinch Quartet will be playing music from both of their upcoming projects; The Legend of Mike Smith and Projections: Of Miles, 40 years of Miles Davis. Both artists have had extensive careers and are always full of innovative, scene changing music. From Kinch’s hip hop sound to Jay’s swinging bebop, their performance should be full of surprises.
