Turns out there aren't many songs celebrating roofs, but we're in the mood for dancing right now, because the roof of the Shaw Room is finally waterproof! We're over the moon, but there's plenty more roof in need of fixing.

Can you help us reach our target? Every little helps, and all donations are being doubled by an anonymous donor. Plus, if you're a UK taxpayer, you can make your donation go further by adding Gift Aid.

With our next season opening with a Pinter double bill, we're throwing it back to our very first Pinter production - 1959's The Birthday Party. Casting for this particular play had a very special guest - Harold Pinter himself. Jo Irvin, who played Meg in this production, reminisces on her impromptu casting. She had come in to the theatre that day, not to audition, but to show off her new baby...

"I listened to the reading, with Harold Pinter sitting in on it, looking a bit gruff. I was fascinated by the play, and told Alfred [Emmet] how much it had delighted me. I had no intention of reading for it [...] but Alfred talked me round and said there were not enough people reading and it would help him and Michael [Almaz, the director] if I could read [...] Alfred had me reading the young girl who Stanley fancies. I did, but also asked to read Meg which, to cut a long story short, I went on to play. At the time we were all a bit bewildered by it, and waited for Pinter to give us a clue or two, but he remained quiet [...] However we were all anxious to get going with the challenge of this strange and different play."

With just over three weeks to go until opening night, get your tickets while you can!

The next show of our Autumn Winter season is the riotous comedy, Noises Off! Packed with mishaps, mayhem and misunderstandings, it has rightly been hailed as “the funniest farce ever written.”

This play-within-a-play portrays the backstage chaos of a travelling theatre company as they stage ‘Nothing On’, a raunchy, but badly written, comedy of their own. As the actors and crew contend with missed cues, big egos and stray sardines (no, really) the line between play and personal life begins to erode, and both unravel. More than just hearts may be broken by curtain call, but the show must go on!

Summer is coming to a close (even if nobody told the weather) and that means it's nearly time for the start of our Autumn/Winter season!

Our first show of the season, a double bill of Harold Pinter plays, opens one month today. The Lover and A Slight Ache will be performed back-to-back, forming a picture of marital crisis.

The Lover conveys the nature of male obsession, the breadth of female empowerment and the issue of shared identity. A broken couple blur the lines between fidelity and fantasy, begging the question: can two people alone sustain a marriage?

In A Slight Ache the couple, now older, move from resentment to reformation as they confront the alluring and repellent nature of the unknown.

Set two decades apart, this double bill demonstrates how Pinter remains theatre’s most accomplished and influential practitioner.
