What’s on – September and October
As ever, whilst this list of “what is on” is mainly aimed at A Level Drama students, you don’t have to study the subject to love the Theatre.
Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
The Watermill, Newbury: 17th September – 21st September

Honestly I don’t love the look of this but if you are taking A2 Drama try and see as much Romeo and Juliet as possible to get ready for your exam and this looks like a … hmm … interesting … interpretation of the classic text.
Money Bars, Chris Goode
The Corn Exchange, Newbury: 26th September

Of Fringe Festival origin, this piece of Verbatim Theatre has the words of children said from the mouths of adults. It is a really interesting stylistic performance that I will definitely be at!
Edward II, Christopher Marlowe
The National Theatre, London: Now – 26th October

National productions are always amazing and this looks really exciting … a really good piece of acting!
The Drowned Man, A Hollywood Fable
The National Theatre, London: Now – 30th December

Miss Woof has been to this and says it is great and I really want to go. It is a company called Punch Drunk so it is an immersive theatre experience … sounds mental but amazing. It is also apparently based on Woyzeck (although it has received criticism saying it isn’t really like it!) which is a play you will study if you do year 13 drama for your exam.
Enjoy, Miss Broadhead.
