A Doll’s house explores one woman’s escape from patriarchal oppression. When Nora’s life as she knows it is brought into question on Christmas Day, Nora is forced to make a choice that will affect her life as she knows it. Torvald and Nora Helmer, who’ve had some financial struggles, are delighted because Torvald has received a major promotion at work. But Nora, behind her lightheartedness and occasionally juvenile behaviour- encouraged, always, by her husband who calls her diminutive, vaguely insulting names- is hiding a major secret. She borrowed a substantial sum of money a few years ago to finance a trip to Italy to help Torvald recover from a major illness. But now she is threatened to reveal the truth, and this becomes increasingly problematic especially when it is discovered that an illegal forgery is involved... diff --git a/_shows/22_23/an_english_toska.md b/_shows/22_23/an_english_toska.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..0670973c003 --- /dev/null +++ b/_shows/22_23/an_english_toska.md @@ -0,0 +1,87 @@ +--- + +title: An English Toska +playwright: Hettie Rockell +student_written: true +period: Autumn +season: Studio +season_sort: 80 +date_start: 2022-12-11 +date_end: 2022-12-13 +venue: New Theatre Studio A + +cast: +- role: Robert + name: William Morgan +- role: Arthur + name: Max Isherwood +- role: Edward + name: Kieran Hatchett +- role: Nora + name: Molly Squires +- role: William + name: Jack Nicholls +- role: Charlotte + name: Lucy Ferguson +- role: Thomas + name: Michael Mclean + + +crew: +- role: Director + name: Hettie Rockell +- role: Assistant Director + name: Demi Idowu +- role: Shadow Director + name: Alessia Lowcock +- role: Producer + name: Lauren Birks +- role: Assistant Producer + name: Jess Beadle-Platt +- role: Shadow Producer + name: Ernestine Ofori-Addo +- role: Lighting Designer + name: James Fellas-Laurie +- role: Sound Designer + name: Sarina Rivlin-Sanders +- role: Video Designer + name: Shekinah-Glory Alabi +- role: Set Designer + name: Harry Berry +- role: Set Assistant + name: Verity Sims +- role: Set Consultant + name: Toby Russell +- role: Poster Designer + name: Jasmine Rajan +- role: Costume Assistant + name: Rachel Hoddes +- role: Publicity Manager + name: Katie Booth +- role: Publicity Manager + name: Rachel Hoddes +- role: Stage Manager + name: Sunenna Kaur +- role: Assistant Stage Manager + name: Ana Balanici + +assets: + - type: poster + image: TD9GCFF + +prod_shots: jLBZR4 + +links: + - type: Review + href: https://impactnottingham.com/2022/12/this-performance-had-me-spellbound-from-start-o-finish-theatre-review-an-english-toska-nottingham-new-theatre/ + snapshot: f3OR7 + publisher: Impact Nottingham + author: Natalie Howarth + title: "“THIS PERFORMANCE HAD ME SPELLBOUND FROM START TO FINISH!” – THEATRE REVIEW: “AN ENGLISH TOSKA” @ NOTTINGHAM NEW THEATRE" + date: 2022-12-19 + rating: 4.5/5 + quote: "An interesting feature I was fond of was how the radio essentially had its own role to play.

In a gripping story of inner conflict and self-doubt, we witness how a visit from the ‘man in the door’ can cause us to be trapped in the deadliest prison on earth...the mind. diff --git a/_shows/22_23/the_reunion.md b/_shows/22_23/the_reunion.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..8b1718235fb --- /dev/null +++ b/_shows/22_23/the_reunion.md @@ -0,0 +1,80 @@ +--- +title: The Reunion +playwright: various +student_written: true +period: Spring +season: In House +season_sort: 220 +date_start: 2023-03-08 +date_end: 2023-03-11 +venue: New Theatre + +cast: +- role: Agatha + name: Darcy Kelly +- role: Leon + name: Bryn Martin +- role: Gaby + name: Sophie Mackenzie +- role: Jo + name: Holly Berhe +- role: Zion + name: Ivan Biryushev +- role: River + name: Ali Seaborne + +crew: +- role: Director + name: Léna Previl +- role: Playwright + name: Léna Previl +- role: Director + name: Kyra Patterson +- role: Playwright + name: Kyra Patterson +- role: Director + name: Ernestine Ofori-Addo +- role: Playwright + name: Ernestine Ofori-Addo +- role: Producer + name: Katy Lotherington +- role: Assistant Producer + name: Maria Stavrakaki +- role: Stage Manager + name: Tinu Odusolu +- role: Deputy Stage Manager + name: Abigail Kitwood +- role: Lighting Designer + name: Maggie Campion +- role: Sound Designer + name: Sarina Rivlin-Sanders +- role: Sound Designer + name: Adrian Angol-Henry +- role: Sound Assistant + name: Abigail Kitwood +- role: Sound Assistant + name: Abdullah Khan +- role: Video Designer + name: Shubham Shirke +- role: Set Designer + name: Seran Sergul +- role: Poster Designer + name: Bryn Martin +- role: Publicity Manager + name: Talishya Ambersley +- role: Publicity Manager + name: Jake Evans +- role: Costume Designer + name: Priya Padwagga +- role: Assistant Stage Manager + name: Keira Anderson + +assets: + - type: poster + image: 8ZXdkdC + +prod_shots: wVngZM + +--- + +We're all familiar with that stage in life, when it's our time to leave our friends and "fly the nest" to a new beginning. Have you fallen under the trap of saying 'friends forever?' to each other... But what if you're not meant to be friends forever? Have you ever considered the possibility that your friends and people you have met come in seasons? What if your so-called besties are not meant to be your besties? 'The Reunion' explores this possibility. A group of friends who have made a pact to reunite in 10 years, once they have explored the word, come to discover that maybe they're better off without each other, This story comprises real friendship struggles under the guise of light-hearted humour and sarcasm with the message of loving people for their moment. Is there any value in long-lasting friendships, or is outgrowing a friend inevitable? \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/_shows/22_23/theres_a_place_some_folk.md b/_shows/22_23/theres_a_place_some_folk.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..a0ad797972f --- /dev/null +++ b/_shows/22_23/theres_a_place_some_folk.md @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +--- +title: "There's A Place Some Folk Call Hope" +playwright: Victoria Bell +student_written: true +period: Spring +season: Studio +season_sort: 240 +date_start: 2023-03-12 +date_end: 2023-03-14 +venue: New Theatre Studio A + +cast: +- role: Alana + name: Georgie Bullen +- role: Ebony + name: Katie Booth +- role: Edith / Mother + name: Sophie Mitchell +- role: Steven / Father + name: Jack Durden +- role: Habbs + name: Imogen Johnson +- role: Joel + name: Ben Nathan +- role: George + name: Max Isherwood +- role: Kurt + name: Matt Diamond +- role: The Mind + name: Molly Squires +- role: Lela + name: Katie McCabe + +crew: +- role: Director + name: Victoria Bell +- role: Director + name: Shreya Suri +- role: Producer + name: Victoria Bell +- role: Producer + name: Shreya Suri +- role: Assistant Producer + name: Charlotte Gambhir +- role: Shadow Director + name: David Hass +- role: Shadow Producer + name: David Hass +- role: Stage Manager + name: Ollie Shribman-Hollings +- role: Lighting Designer + name: Alicia Limb +- role: Sound Designer + name: Matt Wilson +- role: Set Designer + name: Zoe Bowman +- role: Poster Designer + name: Syania Shaharuddin +- role: Publicity Manager + name: Isabelle Kennedy-Grimes +- role: Costume Designer + name: Giulia Duggan +- role: Assistant Stage Manager + name: Sunenna Sohal + +assets: + - type: poster + image: HsBrzq5 + +# prod_shots: + # Use this - https://history.newtheatre.org.uk/util/smug-albums/ + +--- + +There's a place some folk call Hope. It's got a bit of a population problem. Sometimes, our states of mind, trying, waiting, hoping, grieving, can become so all-consuming that they feel like actual, physical places which our minds inhabit. So, what if they were? Leia was sharp-witted , defiant, shameless. She was good. After her sudden passing, her friends and family are forced to come to terms with their changed realities and broken hearts. They find themselves in an abstract world within their imagination, wherein their states of mind are represented by a physical island. Throughout this comedy-drama, those, who knew and loved Leida Rhodes, must explore these strange, other-worldly islands in order to reach conclusions about their own emotional states, as they learn how adjusting to life after grief can be impossibly painful, yet surprisingly beautiful, all at once. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/_shows/22_23/who_i_am.md b/_shows/22_23/who_i_am.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..244cfb5d000 --- /dev/null +++ b/_shows/22_23/who_i_am.md @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +--- +title: This is Who I Am +devised: true +company: Ice and Fire +period: Spring +season: External +season_sort: 100 +date_start: 2023-02-07 +date_end: 2023-02-07 +venue: New Theatre + +# Cast and select crew info taken from https://iceandfire.co.uk/project/this-is-who-i-am/ +cast: +- name: Simon Amstell + person: false +- name: Fisayo Akinade + person: false +- name: Amanda Drew + person: false +- name: Margaret Nankabirwa + person: false +- role: The Songbird + name: Sadie Sinner + person: false +- name: Dan Gillespie-Sells + person: false + +crew_incomplete: true + +assets: + - type: poster + image: nFfsdCG + +--- + +"Then they separated us.
