Whether you are new to the Lace Market Theatre experience or you are one of our regular

audience members, we are delighted to welcome you to our 2010-2011 season. Please leave

the everyday world behind and experience a wide range of plays performed to the highest

standards. From comedy to tragedy, our programme aims to entertain and challenge.

We start our season with Blood Wedding, written by the Spanish playwright, Federico

Garcia Lorca, who was executed by Franco’s troops in 1936. Performed in our upstairs studio

space, Blood Wedding is one of Lorca’s most innovative and powerful plays. Next comes

Joe Orton’s classic black farce Loot. Fast paced comedy and razor sharp wit combine in this

classic sixties satire.

At the beginning of November, Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It takes centre stage in

the auditorium. John Godber’s pulsating play Bouncers is our next studio production. Laced

with tremendous one-liners, Bouncers demands that four actors play the parts of up to two

dozen characters from lads out for a good night to girls having a Friday night on the town.

Our Christmas show, Tom’s Midnight Garden is adapted by David Wood from the classic

children’s story by Philippa Pearce. Children and adults alike will love this tale of the clock that

strikes 13 and the magic that ensues.

2011 starts with Steven Berkoff’s adaptation of Franz Kafka’s The Trial. The greatest

strength of this adaptation is its radical theatrical style. Following on is another auditorium

production, the classic British play The Deep Blue Sea by Terence Rattigan. Ladies’ Day by

Nottingham playwright, Amanda Whittington follows an all-girls’ outing to the races by four

fi sh factory workers. The outing becomes a rollercoaster ride of emotions, changing fortunes

and unexpected revelations. In March, we present The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie adapted

from the novel by Muriel Spark. In April, our Youth Theatre takes the stage with Oliver Twist,

a stage adaptation of Dickens’ famous novel.

After Easter, we return with a black satirical comedy Dinner, written by Moira Buffi ni in 2002.

Next we turn to the studio for Veronica’s Room by Ira Levin, a play to give you goose bumps.

In keeping with our policy of offering cutting edge productions, June sees a mainstage

production of A Clockwork Orange. Written by Anthony Burgess in 1962, this vision of a

dystopian England terrorised by Alex and his “droogs” still carries the power to shock an

audience today. Yet this darkly-comic play is also a morality tale. Come judge for yourself.

We round off the season with Dancing at Lughnasa. Brian Friel’s masterpiece is a

bittersweet refl ection on life in rural Ireland in the 1930s. Premiered in 1990, Dancing At

Lughnasa has previously been produced in the West End and on Broadway, winning an

Olivier Award and three Tony Awards.

We look forward to seeing you at the Lace Market Theatre.

Based on a true story of love, lust and betrayal, Blood Wedding is one of

Lorca’s most innovative and powerful plays. Through his inimitable poetry

and imagery he reveals the full force of human passion in a tragedy of fate.

A wedding, a family feud and three young hearts… Join us and experience

the drama and heat of Lorca’s best-known play from his ‘trilogy of the

Spanish earth’.

A masterpiece of black farce, Loot pokes a viciously satirical stick at the

Catholic Church, attitudes to death and the integrity of the police force. Hal

and Dennis have robbed the bank and decide to hide the money in the coffi n

of Hal’s recently deceased mother. The trouble is her body keeps appearing

around the house. Cue the arrival of Inspector Truscott and a series of

hilarious attempts to keep him off the trail. Mind you, Truscott needs little

help in being just about the least effective police offi cer in human history.

Fast paced comedy and razor sharp wit combine in this classic sixties satire.

Bouncers is about Britons at play. It is both a warning and a celebration. Acute

social observations create a nightmarish vision of the disco world. Bouncers

occupies the night-time with darker elements of the play acting as a constant

undercurrent. The play is a tour de force for the four actors who play all the

parts and physically demanding as the scenes switch from one to the other

with no breaks between them.

When a clock strikes 13 you can be sure something strange and possibly

magical is about to happen. Based on the popular children’s book by

Philippa Pearce this play is a delightful alternative to a pantomime and

suitable for children of all ages. When a young boy is banished to stay with

unsympathetic relatives during his brother’s illness he discovers a garden and

a friend to comfort his loneliness - a relationship that celebrates a friendship

that crosses all barriers of age and time.

All those targets! All those deadlines! Those league tables! All those faceless

managers lurking in the shadows! Don’t put a foot wrong, kid, or......

“ The Trial is my life. It is anyone’s trial.” Berkoff’s assertion, describing his

own adaptation of Kafka’s original work, has become as true now as ever it

was. His use of ‘total’ theatre, a stylistic combination of mime, the surreal,

absurd and physical theatre explores, expands and enriches Kafka’s profound

and searing vision.

We celebrate Rattigan’s centenary year with one of his most compelling plays.

It is 1952 and the War is over – but is Britain winning the Peace?

Freddie used to be a fi ghter pilot but is now reduced to idleness and whisky.

Hester used to be a judge’s wife but has given up everything for love. And Mr

Miller used to be a doctor … None of them can go back to what they were

before – but can they make new lives for themselves?

With great insight, honesty and humour Rattigan explores the dilemmas of

his characters caught between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

Royal Ascot’s one-time relocation to York in Amanda Whittington’s sporting

romp, Ladies’ Day, is as much fun as a day at the races and much better value

for money.

To celebrate her early retirement, Pearl takes her friends from work for a posh

day out at the races.

It is Linda, the Tony Christie obsessed

youngster, through whom Lady Luck

provides the tickets when the group fi nd

they can’t afford the tout’s prices, and she

stays with them when their horses keep

winning – but will she stay ‘til the end?

The outing becomes a rollercoaster

ride of emotions, changing fortunes

and unexpected revelations when Pearl

confesses a long-term affair to Shelley, the

man-eater.

At times wry and poignant, this always

believable comedy leaves the audience

with a feel-good ending and a real appetite

for the sequel...

“Give me a girl at an impressionable age, and she is mine for life.”Four young girls are captivated by an adult world of power games and

intrigues. The crème de la crème of Marcia Blaine School for Girls are

honoured and privileged - as long as they offer undivided loyalty... to Miss

Jean Brodie, a vigorous, progressive and, above all, hugely infl uential new

European.

This play, a subtle blend of comedy and pathos, is set in the 1930s when other

charismatic leaders were emerging throughout Europe...

Wednesday 13 April – Saturday 16 April at 7.30pmMatinee: Saturday 16 April at 2.30pm

Oliver Twist’s declaration “I want some more,” is Dickens’ most famous

protest against cruelty and inhumanity. As Oliver is ensnared into the London

underworld by Fagin a powerful struggle between good and evil ensues. From

the brutality of the workhouse and Fagin’s gang, to the genteel world of Mr

Brownlow, ‘Oliver Twist’ is a compelling story of one boy’s struggle to hold

onto his humanity and be true to himself. A timeless classic.

This a memory play.

Michael looks back on 2 summer days in Donegal in 1936 when he was 7,

looked after by 5 spinster sisters barely making ends meet, one of whom

is his mother. His Uncle Jack,a missionary priest returned from Africa, has

somehow “gone native”, and his feckless father drifts in and out.

A masterly bitter-sweet piece of storytelling linked by music and dance “a

healing, wordless ritual”.
