What’s on – November and December 

Get your fix of theatre before Christmas …

The Light Princess

The National Theatre, London: Now – 9^th January

http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/the-light-princess?dates=all#tabpos

I have to admit I wouldn’t usually recommend musicals but this new musical looks spectacular. A national theatre production, a classic fairytale storyline, stunning visuals and music by Tori Amos … sounds good to me.

The Shed at The National Theatre, London: 30^th October – 5^th December

A new play by an up and coming playwright writing about contemporary issues … plus The Shed is such an exciting space.

Beats

South Street, Reading: Wednesday 20^th November

South Street theatre is a local venue putting on lots of up and coming and fantastic work but also it is a simple studio space so go and steal some ideas Drama students.

N.O.N.C.E, Steve Larkin

South Street, Reading:Saturday 23^rd November

I have no idea about this production so won’t pretend to but think it looks worth a watch for the same reasons as Beats.

Antigone, Sophocles

South Hill Park, Bracknell: 6^th November – 9^th November

Year 12 drama students, you are studying this now so this is a great chance to see a different interpretation of it. It is also a classic piece of drama, very different to what your experience theatre is so if drama is a passion of yours, this will be a great way to improve your knowledge and broaden your experience.

Othello, William Shakespeare

South Hill Park, Bracknell: Saturday 23^rd November

http://www.southhillpark.org.uk/13301/shows/othello.html

I seem to have got into the habit of including a Shakespeare so here is your fix for this month … I have seen things by Icarus before and they tend to have an interesting approach to Shakespeare so should be really exciting.

The Pillowman, Martin McDonaugh

South Hill Park, Bracknell: Saturday 23^rd November

http://www.southhillpark.org.uk/13306/shows/the-pillowman.html

If you have done GCSE or A-Level drama at Little Heath you are bound to have worked on this in some way … why not go and see what someone else has done …

Enjoy, Miss Broadhead.
