Spring and Summer<br />

Season 2018


WELCOME TO THE BRIDGE HOUSE THEATRE AND<br />

WARWICK HALL SPRING AND SUMMER 2018 SEASON.<br />

Welcome to the Bridge House Theatre and Warwick<br />

Hall Spring Summer 2018 season<br />

This season we continue to offer some fabulous<br />

theatre and music experiences for an ever-growing<br />

audience – thank you for supporting us, we really<br />

appreciate it.<br />

Aylesford School bring a<strong>no</strong>ther classic<br />

school-based play in February. In Willy Russell’s<br />

Our Day Out Mrs Kay’s ‘Progress Class’ are<br />

unleashed for a day’s coach trip to Conway<br />

Castle in Wales. But this is more than a romp<br />

– Our Day Out highlights the empty futures<br />

for these children from the backstreets of<br />

Liverpool, for whom a day out was as much as<br />

they could expect.<br />

Blow away the Winter blues with Jazz at the<br />

Bridge, with performances from some of<br />

Warwick’s most talented young musicians.<br />

This is a very popular event so please book<br />

early.<br />

With Winter in full force The Bone Ensemble bring us<br />

an Arctic adventure with live music and a great story.<br />

Where’s my Igloo Gone? cleverly weaves scientific<br />

k<strong>no</strong>wledge into the extraordinary journey of Oolik who<br />

needs to save her igloo home. With dynamic interactive<br />

activities children will be fully part of the story, problemsolving<br />

and working together to help the characters.<br />

We are thrilled that Les Petits are making<br />

their Bridge House debut with Captain Flinn<br />

and the Pirate Di<strong>no</strong>saurs 2. K<strong>no</strong>wn for<br />

their inventiveness and joyful fantasy Les<br />

Petits will, <strong>no</strong> doubt, whisk you away on a<br />

wonderful adventure.<br />

Blackeyed Theatre have become Bridge House<br />

favourites and we are delighted to see them return<br />

with the ever popular Teechers by John Godber. In an<br />

educational climate where the arts are often marginalised<br />

it celebrates the joy of theatre, the inspiration of teachers<br />

and mocks the petty power squabbles of school-life. With<br />

just three actors multi-rolling, it will also be a master-class<br />

in character performance from this dynamic and hugely<br />

creative company. Don’t miss it.<br />

For lovers of thrillers and ghost stories<br />

The Middle School production this year<br />

is <strong>no</strong>t one to miss! Seen for the first time<br />

in Edinburgh last Summer, The Curse<br />

of Cranholme Abbey follows a group of<br />

young people as they visit a neglected<br />

inherited mansion and discover its tragic<br />

and sinister past. With a talented cast of<br />

14-15 year olds from Warwick and King’s<br />

High we are sure this one will make you<br />

jump as we move through three time<br />

periods in the Abbey’s terrifying past.<br />

TEECHERS<br />

By John Godber<br />

Directed by Adrian McDougall<br />

Blackeyed Theatre revives its highly-acclaimed production of John<br />

Godber’s classic comedy about life at a struggling ‘sink school’ for<br />

Mr Nixon, an unsuspecting new drama teacher.<br />

Featuring breathtaking ensemble performances<br />

and a bang-up-to-date soundtrack, Teechers<br />

brings to life an array of terrifying teachers<br />

and hopeless pupils through the unique<br />

eyes of Salty, Gail and Hobby; three<br />

Year 11 students about to leave<br />

school for good.<br />

Will Mr Nixon abandon his<br />

students for a green and pleasant<br />

Grammar school? Who puts the<br />

bounce in Miss Prime, the PE<br />

teacher? Will Mrs Parry ever<br />

find her Koko? And why does<br />

everyone smell of spring<br />

onions?<br />

Crammed full of unforgettable<br />

characters, political left-hooks<br />

and razor-sharp comedy,<br />

Teechers is more relevant<br />

today than ever, a modern<br />

classic with something vital<br />

to say about education for the<br />

‘haves’ and ‘have <strong>no</strong>ts’.<br />

Afghanistan: 2009.<br />

Ryan is there to see the world, learn a<br />

King’s High School presents<br />

MERMAID<br />

by Polly Teale<br />

A bold reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale<br />

of love, loss and finding your voice, transported to a<br />

contemporary setting.<br />

Beneath the ocean’s waves there is <strong>no</strong> death or pain or<br />

separation. Above, the modern world is beset with war,<br />

poverty and hardship.<br />

On her sixteenth birthday, a mermaid rises up to the<br />

surface, leaving her childhood behind for ever when<br />

she falls in love - but must she destroy herself in<br />

order to be loved? Meanwhile a young girl realises<br />

that she too has an important choice to make<br />

– take the easy route and follow the crowd or<br />

stand up and show the world who she is.<br />

In a world where the female voice is becoming<br />

more important than ever, the talented cast<br />

and crew of King’s High School will bring to life<br />

this beautifully poetic story to really explore<br />

the importance of finding your voice!<br />
