Welcome to the Bridge House<br />
Theatre and Warwick Hall.<br />
It has been an exciting time for us, watching the<br />
spectacular new Warwick Hall take shape.<br />
To celebrate its completion why not join us for<br />
the Grand Opening on 23 rd September<br />
featuring performances from many of our<br />
current and past students. With special guest<br />
Michael Attenborough CBE the event promises to<br />
be a memorable occasion.<br />
As part of our commitment to new<br />
and ground-breaking theatre we are<br />
thrilled to have an exciting new<br />
partnership with Human Zoo<br />
Theatre Company. They have<br />
quickly established themselves to be<br />
one of the UK’s most creative theatre<br />
ensembles and are leading the<br />
development of our very own<br />
Foundations Youth Theatre with a<br />
dynamic programme of workshops<br />
this term (more details on page 27).<br />
To welcome them to Warwick we are hosting their hugely successful show The Girl who Fell in<br />
Love with the Moon on 15 th September.<br />
The Human Zoo team’s most important focus is on finding ways to be playful in the rehearsal<br />
room, whilst making big, slick and energetic work. We hope that this message can be seen as<br />
an invitation to join us to discover new ways of making theatre, with The Zoo’s artistic<br />
director and associate artists bringing our trademark visual theatre, puppetry, actor<br />
musicianship, spoken word, ensemble, comedy and physical theatre into a series of tailored<br />
workshops this term.<br />
The outstanding acoustics of Warwick Hall will be brought to life on 1 st October as we present<br />
a unique concert featuring Roderick Williams alongside the internationally renowned<br />
Orchestra of the Swan and the talented musicians of Warwick School and King’s High<br />
School. Book early for what promises to be a wonderful evening.

theatre is more to your taste<br />
Tony’s Last Tape presented<br />
by Nottingham Playhouse<br />
brilliantly dramatises the<br />
diaries of Tony Benn. Total<br />
Theatre Award nominated<br />
Idle Motion reveal the<br />
power of photography to<br />
expose the tyrannies of<br />
fascism in the Spanish Civil<br />
War in the technically astonishing Shooting with Light.<br />
For sheer theatrical invention combined with a socially<br />
astute narrative, you need look no further than<br />
Award-winning Smoking Apples production of In Our<br />
Hands. Using innovative puppetry, a striking set and an<br />
original score to transport you out to sea, under the ocean<br />
and onto the deck of the Catcher’s Fortune, this is the<br />
story of Alf, the trawler fishermen. Alf is at the top of his<br />
game, but times and the fishing industry are changing fast.<br />
Can he adapt to survive?<br />
As a newly acknowledged Fantastic for Families venue<br />
we are proud to be welcoming two imaginative<br />
productions for younger theatre goers as part of the<br />
National Family Arts Festival this October. Goblin<br />
Theatre’s Penguin! Elephant! is a magical new show about<br />
celebrating differences and Story Pocket bring us Michael<br />
Morpurgo’s King Arthur telling an epic tale of magic, heroism,<br />
love and betrayal.<br />
Warwick and King’s High School’s theatrical<br />
collaborations grow from strength to strength and<br />
A Midsummer Night’s Dream will feature an incredibly<br />
strong cast from both schools. This production will be a<br />
very fresh and dynamic version of one of Shakespeare’s<br />
most popular plays.<br />
More details of all the shows, pictures and videos can be<br />
found on our new website<br />

stargazing in her room… ‘<br />
Join this tattered troupe as Luna’s tragic tale unravels for the<br />
first time. But why tonight?<br />

Idle Motion<br />
Shooting With Light<br />
Since the invention of photography we have collectively<br />
taken over 3.5 trillion photographs. Total Theatre Award<br />
nominated Idle Motion search within these snapshots<br />
to expose one of the most remarkable untold stories of<br />
our age.<br />
It is 1933 and a young German refugee flees to Paris,<br />
reinventing herself as Gerda Taro. Discovering the<br />
wonder of photography, she falls in love with a fellow<br />
refugee who teaches her, ‘if your pictures aren’t good<br />
enough, you aren’t close enough’. Together they venture<br />
to the Spanish Civil War and capture the tyranny of<br />
fascism. As pioneers of frontline photo journalism, he<br />
would go on to receive international recognition as the<br />
iconic war photographer Robert Capa - she would be<br />
forgotten.<br />
Using innovative staging, physicality and multimedia,<br />
internationally renowned company Idle Motion piece<br />
together the life of an exceptional woman, glimpsed<br />
through the lost photographs she risked her life to take.<br />
“Such an engaging and inventive young company<br />
[…] this show is as heartfelt and passionate as Taro<br />
herself.” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian.<br />
“A fitting tribute executed with bags of flair and<br />
invention.” 4 stars, Time Out.<br />
“Gerda Taro is brought to light in this powerful,<br />
beautiful and passionate production.” 5 stars<br />

Nottingham Playhouse presents<br />
Tony’s Last Tape<br />
by Andy Barrett<br />
An old man sits in a room faced with a collection of<br />
recording devices that he has collected over his long and<br />
eventful life. He takes out a pipe, peels a banana and<br />
pours himself the first cup of tea of the day…<br />
For more than fifty years he has been recording<br />
everything that has happened to and around him, and as<br />
the years have passed so the burden of this<br />
documentation has grown. And today he has decided to<br />
make his last tape.<br />
Inspired by the diaries of Tony Benn – one of Britain’s<br />
most respected, inspiring but divisive politicians – this<br />
critically acclaimed new play examines the struggle of a<br />
man who knows it may be time to withdraw from the fight,<br />
to let others take over, but doesn’t know how.<br />
Tony’s Last Tape has garnered four and five star reviews<br />
in successful runs at Nottingham Playhouse, Bridge<br />
House Theatre (London), and the Edinburgh Festival<br />
(Pleasance) 2015. Starring Philip Bretherton (best known<br />
as Alastair Deacon in ‘As Time Goes By’).<br />

Warwick School and King’s High School presents<br />
A Midsummer<br />
Night’s Dream<br />
by William Shakespeare<br />
Our senior students will lead a dynamic cast,<br />
directed by Mike Perry and Cat Price, with design by<br />
Judy Reaves. Dream is an insane fairy-go-round of a<br />
play in which, as in a dream, people can turn<br />
themselves invisible and make others fall in love with<br />
the first person they see when they wake. Where a<br />
man thinks he is dreaming of turning into a donkey<br />
when in fact he actually has done. The play is often<br />
seen as a light-hearted romp yet its background of<br />
sparring parents, unrequited love and threats of<br />
violence between rivals brings it greater depth and<br />
resonance.<br />
We will be bringing our customary imagination to the<br />
staging of this wonderful play, so don’t plan on seeing<br />
fairies as you may have seen them before!<br />

Smoking Apples<br />
In Our Hands<br />
Alf is a trawler fisherman whose experience, camaraderie<br />
and loyalty have put him and his boat at the top of the game.<br />
But times are changing and so is the industry. How will Alf<br />
adapt in order to survive?<br />
Follow a fish’s journey from sea to plate, watch a seagull’s<br />
ridiculous attempt to find food and witness a father and son<br />
reunite. In Our Hands will transport you out to sea, under the<br />
ocean and onto the deck of the Catcher’s Fortune.<br />
Using innovative puppetry, a striking set and an original<br />
score, join Alf as he journeys from the depths of despair to<br />
rise again and rescue the life he loves.<br />
In Our Hands has been developed extensively both in<br />
London and Cornwall by Smoking Apples, an award winning<br />
puppetry and visual theatre company.<br />

When Ollie, Ashleigh and Raph are<br />
thrown together by a sudden death,<br />
they find themselves wrestling with the<br />
emotional consequences of this painful<br />
event. These three young people didn’t<br />
go looking for suffering, but suffering<br />
found them anyway. Join them on their<br />
journey and stand side by side with<br />
them as they recover, survive and<br />
maybe even Thrive.<br />
This exciting production for young<br />
people uses humour, movement and<br />
spoken word. Zest Theatre surround<br />
the audience to beautifully portray<br />
the most challenging of emotions with<br />
courage and optimism.<br />

Box Office<br />
Our Box Office is based inside the Bridge House Theatre with the following<br />
opening times:<br />
Monday – Friday: 1pm – 5.45pm and on performance evenings from an hour<br />
before the published start time.<br />
How to Pay<br />
We accept cash, credit/debit card, cheques and postal orders. There is no<br />
booking fee for tickets purchased in person at the box office or over the<br />
phone. A £2.50 booking fee is levied on all bookings made online. This is one<br />
fee per booking, not per ticket.<br />
Resales and Refunds<br />
Tickets are non-refundable and will become void if re-sold.<br />
Strictly subject to availability, we may be able to exchange tickets for another<br />
performance of the same production provided we are given 24 hours’ notice<br />
before the performance. There is a £2 exchange fee for this service.<br />
If an event has sold out we are happy to try and re-sell your tickets once we<br />
have sold all of our own available tickets, including any last minute holds we<br />
may have. Please note that we cannot guarantee the re-sale of your tickets.<br />
Tickets cannot be refunded unless a performance is cancelled. In the event<br />
of a cancelled performance, patrons will first be offered the opportunity to<br />
exchange tickets for another performance; if there are no alternative tickets<br />
or if the patron is not able to attend an alternative performance the full<br />
purchase cost of the ticket will be refunded via the original payment method.<br />
Full terms and conditions of booking are listed on our website<br />
