Autumn and Winter<br />
Season 2018
WELCOME TO THE BRIDGE HOUSE THEATRE AND<br />
WARWICK HALL AUTUMN AND WINTER 2018 SEASON.<br />
THE FUNNY SEASON<br />
Welcome once again to The Bridge House Theatre<br />
and Warwick Hall season brochure. Thanks, as always,<br />
for your continued support to the professional and<br />
student artists whose work is presented to you here.<br />
We are busier than ever (thanks for all the great<br />
feedback) and as we continue to build our reputation,<br />
we are tremendously grateful for your support.<br />
We think we have assembled a wonderful season for<br />
you again, and a particularly funny one at that! We get<br />
going straight away with our pupil-led dark comedy:<br />
Unman, Wittering and Zigo - the classic school drama<br />
which tells of a spirited class who announce to their<br />
new teacher that they murdered their previous one for<br />
detaining them one day! I don’t know of a teacher who<br />
hasn’t had that nightmare when about to start at a new<br />
school!<br />
welcome Betti (is that her stage name?) who<br />
is the first robot actor, in residency at the<br />
School and performing in a brand-new show<br />
About A Bot. Having met her earlier this<br />
year we are delighted that she has chosen<br />
Warwick for her professional acting debut<br />
and with a range of community events<br />
around her visit she is sure to generate a<br />
buzz! (groan)<br />
We bring you the multi-award-winning, joyful comedy<br />
exploring family nostalgia, Jurassic Parks, and are<br />
delighted to be hosting a World Premier no less. We<br />
The award-winning theatre continues<br />
with Re:production, which offers a lighthearted<br />
exploration of female choice<br />
and legacy as Karen and Tom consider<br />
whether they are ready to become<br />
parents.

Warwick School Drama Workshop presents<br />
UNMAN, WITTERING AND ZIGO<br />
A new teacher, hoping to make a good impression in his first<br />
job, finds that bullying and gambling among his pupils are the<br />
least of his worries.<br />
Caught in the middle of his new wife’s restlessness, his fellow teachers’ apathy and<br />
the headmaster’s blatant cover-up, John Ebony becomes the unlikely detective.<br />
Whilst this classic play written for Radio in 1958 was adapted for TV in 1965, it<br />
continues to present uncomfortable questions about the necessity of authority<br />
and the need to act morally.<br />
Questions which are as vital today, as they have ever been.<br />

They’re grown-ups now. It’s time<br />

Their friends are painting the spare<br />

Flexible working hours, sleepless nights,<br />

It’s what they want, isn’t it? Karen is a<br />

should be ready. But what if she’s not?<br />

ABOUT A BOT<br />
Sometimes it takes a little robot to solve a big problem…<br />
Autonomous robots with artificial intelligence are part of our everyday lives.<br />
One day a cute little robot working in a bank wondered, Why?<br />
Then it decided to order pizzas for everyone!<br />
It’s less than 48 hrs to the launch of “Virtual<br />
Life’s” ground breaking video game,<br />
“infinity3”. Chief Designer, Dr. Marcus<br />
Allen, is working 24/7 to hit the<br />
release deadline. He’s worked all his<br />
life for this moment and now it all<br />
could be taken away from him<br />
because...<br />
A cute little robot working in a<br />
bank decided to order pizzas for<br />
everyone!<br />
Robots that order pizzas are<br />
a problem, Marc’s problem.<br />
Sadly, not his only one.<br />
About a bot is a symphony for<br />
the senses, suitable for the<br />
whole family, and will be the<br />
first professional theatrical<br />
production to feature a<br />
“live” autonomous robot<br />
performing in the lead role.<br />

The joint senior school production<br />
A LAUGHING MATTER BY APRIL DE ANGELIS<br />
It’s 1773 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.<br />
The crowd is getting restless. The leading<br />
man’s unconscious but the show must go on.<br />
Set in the theatres and coffee shops of eighteenth<br />
century Georgian London, this rich comedy of<br />
manners presents an irreverent version of real-life<br />
events, by telling the story of David Garrick, Dr<br />
Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith and a new play called<br />
She Stoops to Conquer. At a time when Garrick<br />
was transforming the acting profession and<br />
caught between financial pressures and<br />
artistic ambition, he must decide if he<br />
can risk staging a play that could make<br />
or break his career. With a cast of<br />
senior students from both Warwick<br />
School and King’s High School<br />
this modern comedy set in the<br />
eighteenth century evokes the<br />
wit and farce of BBCs ‘Upstart<br />
Crow’ and ‘Black Adder’, and<br />
promises to be a fast-paced<br />
and hugely enjoyable<br />
production.<br />

The Noise Next Door have appeared on BBC One, BBC<br />
Three, ITV1, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 4, they were<br />
nominated for a Chortle Award in 2014, and have<br />

ovations in front of corporate dinners, the British forces,<br />
secondary school students and even fans at ‘Download’<br />
Heavy Metal music festival, they are also one of the most<br />
versatile acts in the business. Unstoppably funny and<br />
uniquely talented, The Noise Next Door are the next big<br />
thing in British comedy.<br />

alternative performance the full purchase cost of the ticket will be<br />
refunded via the original payment method.<br />
