Theatre Club Spring 2025
Posted on: 2nd January, 2025
Enjoy theatre? We’re inviting you to be part of our new Theatre Club – come alone or bring a friend and enjoy shows hand-picked by our director.
Unpacking each part of a show is so interesting, especially with others who may offer different insights and opinions! Come along to a Theatre Club performance and feel free to enjoy theatre on your own, or with a friend, as part of our Theatre Club.
What is Theatre Club?
Think ‘book club’ but for theatre: Get yourself a refreshment in our Greene Room Bar and find our designated Theatre Club table for you to be able to meet fellow club members pre-performance. Literature and background information will be available for you to read and take away with you for a deeper dive into the show’s background, actors, playwright and more. Re-join the table in the interval if you’d like to and then post-show, you are welcome to head over to our local pub, The Dog and Partridge (300m) to discuss the show with your fellow club members at a reserved table for Theatre Club members.
Theatre Club performances this Spring:
CRACKING
CRACKINGFrom Shôn Dale-Jones
Wed 26 March, 7:30pm
Part stand-up, part theatre CRACKING is a funny, touching and thought-provoking solo performance that sews together fact and fiction into one seamless whole making us wonder what’s real, what’s not and what’s gone wrong. This award-winning play about love and hatred celebrates how searching for connection beats disconnecting.
Sophia
From Eastern Angles
Tue 1 April, 7:30pm
Sophia Duleep Singh was born into royalty. This Spring, Eastern Angles sheds light on her extraordinary story in Sophia. Sophia’s father was the last Maharajah of Punjab, dethroned by the British as a child and exiled to England. The family made a home in Elveden, Suffolk, until bankruptcy and a new mistress swayed the dispossessed Maharajah to make a secret new life abroad and plot to take back his kingdom. Written by Hannah Kumari, this epic new drama tells the story of an unknown lioness of women’s suffrage and her part in some of the defining moments of British Indian history.
Whole
WholeFrom Emma Spearing, produced by Zoe Gibbons
Thurs 17 April
Whole is a show about two people – one of them is on stage, the other isn’t. Emma has been looking for a way to fill the gaping hole her identical twin sister’s death has left behind. So, she thought she would make a show for them. A unique and intimate experience that uses visual imagery, storytelling, and inspiration from an anarchic ginger cat, Whole explores a tender, messy love story about siblings, loss and the healing power of a creative mission.
