Welcome<br />
Welcome to our fresh new-look brochure; we hope you like the change! We<br />
have also been working hard to make some small, subtle changes to both the<br />
venues, with more to come throughout the year. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the<br />
improvements on your next visit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> season is jam-packed with delicious <strong>of</strong>ferings for you, from traditional<br />
favourites to new and exciting shows. We are delighted to be able to<br />
welcome back pantomime favourite, Ben Humphrey as Dame Ginny for<br />
our annual Christmas extravaganza. This year’s trip to panto land tells the<br />
story <strong>of</strong> Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and if Ben’s return wasn’t exciting<br />
enough for you we’ve also got international and West End star, Oliver<br />
Brooks returning to the cast as Muddles, having just finished a world tour<br />
<strong>of</strong> Hairspray. You definitely won’t want to miss out!<br />
It’s not all about current stars though. We will also be presenting the Young<br />
Rep in their new production <strong>of</strong> the classic Greek tragedy, Medea set to come<br />
to <strong>Huntingdon</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> in the spring. See the stars <strong>of</strong> tomorrow today.<br />
We have also overhauled how you can support us and our work. As a charity,<br />
we rely on the kindness and generosity <strong>of</strong> the public to continue to provide<br />
arts for the people <strong>of</strong> Worcester and beyond, and we have made it even easier<br />
to get on board and keep the arts live in Worcester. For more information and<br />
to sign up to our schemes please visit worcester-rep.co.uk/supporters.<br />
It is an exciting time in Worcester, with so many fantastic projects,<br />
partnerships and productions all over the city and county. We are delighted<br />
to be a part <strong>of</strong> all the positive changes. We hope you will enjoy being a part<br />
<strong>of</strong> it too.<br />
Best wishes from all the Staff and Volunteers at<br />

Yes, Prime Minister is a very funny, thought-provoking political satire based<br />
on the successful television series that captured the political consciousness<br />

problems as immigration, sex-trafficking, energy, Europe and sleaze, aided<br />
or hindered by his civil servants.<br />

Revealed with John Suchet<br />
Friday 13th March at 7.30pm<br />

It may be hard to believe, but the man behind such joyous music as<br />
<strong>Swan</strong> Lake, <strong>The</strong> Nutcracker, <strong>The</strong> 1812 Overture and many more <strong>of</strong> the best<br />
loved music ever written, was a deeply troubled individual unsure <strong>of</strong> his<br />
own talent and tortured by his sexuality. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s life –<br />
and premature death – has long been mythologised and misunderstood.<br />
Classic FM presenter and former television reporter and newscaster, John<br />
Suchet, draws back the curtain to show us the real man behind the music<br />
in Tchaikovsky: <strong>The</strong> Man Revealed, examining the complex and contradictory<br />
character <strong>of</strong> this great artist, and how he came to take his rightful place<br />
among the world’s greatest composers.<br />
