SUMMARY:A Christmas Carol by Abingdon Drama Club
DESCRIPTION:A Christmas Carol by Abingdon Drama Club\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout A Christmas Carol by Abingdon Drama Club\n\n\n\nWritten by Charles DickensAdapted by David EdgarDirected by Susi Dalton \n\n\n\nJoin Abingdon Drama Club for a ghostly Christmas night as cold-hearted businessman Ebenezer Scrooge (Adam Blake) faces the fright of his life\, uncovers the truth about himself\, and learns to love his neighbour. \n\n\n\nThis adaptation by David Edgar of Charles Dickens’s classic A Christmas Carol reawakens the social conscience of this timeless tale. Through time jumps\, we witness Scrooge’s past\, explore the present around him\, and confront the shocking future that awaits. \n\n\n\nAll the beloved characters are present\, with a unique twist that delves into the parliamentary reports of the 1840s on issues like abolishing rotten boroughs and establishing workhouses\, highlighting Dickens’ keen awareness of societal issues. \n\n\n\nDirected by the talented Susi Dalton\, this clever and engaging adaptation is brought to life on the Unicorn stage by Abingdon Drama Club. Edgar has reinvented this quintessentially Victorian story\, featuring Dickens himself (Terry Atkinson) narrating alongside his editor and friend\, John Forster (Kieran Madden). \n\n\n\nThe play opens with Dickens grappling to write another book on poverty and child labour\, as Forster suggests this may be too grim for a Christmas audience. Together\, they construct the narrative before our eyes\, offering a fascinating insight into Dickens’ creative process. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this enchanting performance\, marking the final production in ADC’s 80th Anniversary year! \n\n\n\n“I love exploring different interpretations of well-known classics. I previously directed another unique version of A Christmas Carol\, and I chose David Edgar’s adaptation to embrace new challenges and enrich the original story we all cherish.” \n\n\n\n“I’m excited to direct this version with our wonderful actors\, confident that together we will create a memorable production for Abingdon Drama Club.” —Susi Dalton \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Standard price – £12.00\,Concessions – £10.00 (65+\, under 19\, students\, ADC/ODN members\, Group bookings of 10+ tickets) \n\n\n\n\nFor groups of 10 and over\, simply select the concession rate tickets and choose the required number of thickets.\n\n\n\nAll tickets are sold as UNRESERVED SEATING.\n\n\n\nThe Front of House team will do their very best to seat people together\, but please arrive in good time\, or this may not be possible.\n\n\n\nTickets are also available from The Bookstore\, The Abingdon Precinct\, 15 Bury Street\, Abingdon.\n\n\n\n\nDates & times:Wednesday 27 November at 7.30pmThursday 28 November at 7.30pmFriday 29 November at 7.30pmSaturday 30 November at 2.30pm and 7.30pm

He’s soon caught up in enemy fire\, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey\, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. Albert\, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm\, cannot forget Joey. Though not old enough to enlist\, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find and bring him home. \n\n\n\nThis powerfully moving and imaginative drama is a show of phenomenal inventiveness\, filled with stirring music and songs\, featuring ground-breaking puppetry work by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company\, which brings breathing\, galloping\, charging\, horses to thrilling life on stage and has inspired a generation of theatre-makers since its premiere in 2007. \n\n\n\nWar Horse\, adapted by Nick Stafford and originally directed by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris\, has become the most successful play in the history of the National Theatre\, winning more than 25 major awards and has been seen by over 8.3 million people worldwide.

SUMMARY:Fagin’s Last Hour
DESCRIPTION:Fagin’s Last Hour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Fagin’s Last Hour\n\n\n\nCharles Dickens’ dark tale of crime and punishment is stunningly re-imagined in this multi-award-winning stage adaptation\, recognised by Queen Elizabeth II for its part in Dickensian scholarship. \n\n\n\nTold from the point of view of Fagin\, one hour before his execution\, this unique and powerful one-man show offers a fresh insight into literature’s most controversial villain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“James Hyland has a powerful ability to portray numerous characters… When one actor can emulate an entire cast\, that is a powerful thing!… His acting was raw\, honest\, and profound.

SUMMARY:Summer 1954 - Table Number 7 & The Browning Version
DESCRIPTION:Summer 1954 – Table Number 7 & The Browning Version\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Summer 1954 – Table Number 7 & The Browning Version\n\n\n\nWritten by Terence Rattigan \n\n\n\nDirected by James Dacre \n\n\n\nStarring Nathaniel Parker and Dame Siân Phillips \n\n\n\nSummer\, 1954. \n\n\n\nThe atmosphere at The Beauregard Private Hotel\, Bournemouth\, is marked by a blend of repressed emotions and post-war gentility. Each of the staff and guests has their own reason for seeking the solace of quiet anonymity but trying to hide from the social and cultural change sweeping over the country is proving impossible. \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, in the heart of the Midlands\, the end of the school term brings to a climax the intrigues\, deceptions\, and lies in the lives of its teachers. The ensuing implosion of classicist Andrew Crocker Harris’s career triggers the collapse of his marriage. \n\n\n\nBritain is changing. Nothing will ever be the same again. \n\n\n\nTerence Rattigan’s one-act masterpieces Table Number Seven (from Separate Tables) and The Browning Version are paired for the first time\, capturing one quietly momentous evening seventy years ago. Together\, they confirm Rattigan as one of the great 20th-century chroniclers of the paradoxes of the human heart. \n\n\n\nDirected by Olivier and UK Theatre Award winner James Dacre(Four Quartets\, The Two Popes and Blue/Orange)\, an ensemble cast will perform both plays\, led by Olivier Award winner Nathaniel Parker and BAFTA winner Dame Siân Phillips. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“A fine production… a handsome double-bill. Immaculately paced by James Dacre”. ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nThe Guardian \n\n\n\n\n\n“Excellent performances from a strong cast”. ★★★★ \n\n\n\nStage Talk Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n£14.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices:From £14.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times:Tuesday 11 February at 7.30pmWednesday 12 February at 7.30pmThursday 13 February at 2.30pm & 7.30pm (Captioned)Friday 14 February at 8.00pmSaturday 15 February at 2.30pm (Audio Described\, Touch Tour) & 7.30pm \n\n\n\nInterval:This show includes an interval \n\n\n\nAge Guidance:12+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxford Playhouse\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse and its Burton Taylor Studio present and produce several live performances and feature a rich array of British and international dramas\, family entertainment\, contemporary dance and music\, student and amateur shows\, comedy\, lectures and poetry. \n\n\n\nThe Playhouse not only produces and tours its own theatrical productions\, but it also fosters creativity through its Artists in Residence program and the Playhouse Plays Out series\, which brings unique events to various locations across the county. \n\n\n\nThe theatre’s Participation Team engages over 15\,000 individuals annually\, offering an extensive range of activities\, including post-show discussions\, workshops\, work experience opportunities\, holiday programs\, a youth theatre\, and a company for young performers. \n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse stands dedicated to its mission of being a Playhouse for all\, striving to ignite inspiration and bring about transformative experiences through its commitment to creativity on its stages\, within its community and online. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about Oxford Playhouse\, including travel\, access and venue information.

SUMMARY:The Count of Monte Cristo
DESCRIPTION:The Count of Monte Cristo\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Count of Monte Cristo\n\n\n\nAlexandre Dumas’ celebrated novel is a favourite of readers all over the world\, but it rarely makes an appearance on our stages or screens. And certainly never like this… So join 3 intrepid actors in this fast-paced and furiously funny retelling of the greatest revenge tale ever told. \n\n\n\nThe year is 1815. France is divided\, Napoleon plots his return to power\, and humble sailor Edmond Dantes is living a simple honest life. Or so he thinks. Betrayed by those who know him\, and accused of treason\, Edmund is imprisoned in the depths of the prison island The Chateau D’If. Forsaken and forgotten\, he begins to weave an intricate web of vengeance. \n\n\n\nExpect revenge\, redemption\, and a whole load of ridiculousness as all 1200 pages of French epic are stuffed onto the stage in this brand-new comedy adaptation. Bringing to life the original jailbreak story… probably… I mean it’s fairly old. \n\n\n\nThe Count of Monte Cristo is an epic tale of vengeance\, redemption\, and how far one man will go for justice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n£15.00 – £18.00 \n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTickets prices:Standard tickets – £18.00Concessions – £15.00 \n\n\n\nAll prices include any booking fees \n\n\n\nDates & times:Thursday 06 March 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time:2 hours 30 minutes \n\n\n\nAge guidance:8+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Theatre Chipping Norton\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Theatre Chipping Norton\, sometimes called The Theatre\, Chipping Norton or Chipping Norton Theatre\, is a theatre\, an arthouse cinema\, a gallery and a concert hall in Chipping Norton. \n\n\n\nThe theatre has has 217 seats\, including stalls and a balcony.

It likes to make a big noise. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about The Theatre Chipping Norton\, including travel\, access and venue information.

SUMMARY:The Astonishing Adventures of Kitty and Peg
DESCRIPTION:The Astonishing Adventures of Kitty and Peg\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Astonishing Adventures of Kitty and Peg\n\n\n\nStep back in time with The Astonishing Adventures of Kitty and Peg\, a rollicking two-hander set backstage at the Theatre Royal\, Drury Lane in 1745. \n\n\n\nThis hilarious period farce brings to life the real stars of the era: English sensation Kitty Clive\, famed for her powerful voice and being the first to sing ‘Rule Britannia\,’ and Irish firecracker Peg Woffington\, known for her daring male roles and alluring legs.  \n\n\n\nWhen these iconic actresses are abruptly dismissed\, they must rely on more than just their talents to remain in the public eye. Their desperate antics include spreading fake news\, staging a dramatic brawl\, and unintentionally poisoning the famous cross-dressing puppeteer-turned-butcher\, Charlotte ‘Mr Brown’ Charke. \n\n\n\nWill Kitty and Peg reclaim their jobs\, face the gallows\, or will the public’s fascination with True Crime secure their fame? Don’t miss this fast-paced\, irreverent\, and cheeky romp filled with mischief and mayhem – and yes\, there’s women wrestling! \n\n\n\nPick A Price \n\n\n\nWe at The Theatre Chipping Norton believe passionately that art is for everyone.
