OF MICE
AND MEN
TUESDAY 23 - SATURDAY 27 FEBRUARY
The Touring Consortium Theatre Company
presents a co-production with
Birmingham Repertory Theatre
Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the
loneliest guys in the world. They got no family.
They don’t belong no place... with us it ain’t like
that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk
to that gives a damn about us.
Set during the Great Depression, this classic play tells the
story of George and Lennie, migrant farm workers, both
hoping to put enough money together to buy a small piece
of land and build a home.
No strangers to trouble, an innocent misunderstanding
spirals out of control and leaves the two men, bound
together by friendship and facing an earth-shattering climax.

KING CHARLES III
MONDAY 29 FEBRUARY - SATURDAY 5 MARCH
The Almeida Theatre Production
Robert Powell
Following a sold-out run at the Almeida Theatre
and critically acclaimed seasons in the
West End and on Broadway, Mike Bartlett’s
award-winning new play King Charles III now
tours the UK.
The Queen is dead. Having waited a lifetime to fulfil his destiny,
Prince Charles ascends the throne with Camilla by his side. As
William, Kate and Harry look on, Charles wrestles with his new
responsibilities… but how to rule? Let the royal games begin…
Directed by the Almeida Theatre’s artistic director Rupert
Goold, this ‘bracingly provocative and outrageously
entertaining new play’ (The Independent) explores the people
underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of our democracy,
and the conscience of Britain’s most famous family.

THE MERRY
WIVES
TUESDAY 19 - SATURDAY 23 APRIL
Presented by Northern Broadsides
in partnership with The New Vic Theatre
Sir John Falstaff is past-his-prime and skint!
Vain rogue that he is, he attempts, rather clumsily, to
seduce a couple of well-to-do wives … but Mistress Page
and Mistress Ford get wise to his plan and scheme to exact
revenge with hilarious and unimaginable consequences.
If you like your Shakespeare light, funny and wickedly
entertaining then look no further. This new version of
The Merry Wives of Windsor is bursting at the seams
with verbal fun, physical comedy and a bevy of cunningly
colourful characters.
Northern Broadsides’ distinctive charisma and zest for
performance squeezes every last ounce of comedy
gold from this affectionately calamitous tale that will tickle
your funny bone and poke a jovial finger in the eye of
middle England.

reading of his new play. But as the reading begins, it becomes
clear that Alex believes that Monica was murdered and he
intends to uncover her killer...

best known for The Royal and Outside Edge, and his wife and
co-star from The Royal, Amy Robins, who also starred in Blood
Brothers in the West End; and from the record breaking Agatha
Christie Theatre Company, Robert Duncan, best known for

and he can’t find his watch. He is starting to wonder if he’s
losing control...
The Father is the winner of France’s highest theatrical honour,
the 2014 Moliere Award for Best Play, and in Christopher
Hampton’s crisp and witty translation, has dazzled audiences

A heart warming story of
estranged siblings who, once
torn apart by caring for their
father in his illness, are brought
back together through a series
of “hilarious” tasks left for them
in his will. A comedy-drama
directed by Kim Pearce (The
Curious Incident Of The Dog
In The Night Time) and starring
Lizzie Stables
(The Inbetweeners).
Change comes slowly to a small
New Hampshire town in the early
20th century. This deceptively
simple story exposes the stark
truth of human existence as we
see our characters grow up,
get married, live, and die, while
the milk and the newspapers
continued to be delivered every
morning. This Pulitzer Prize
winning play by Thornton Wilder
has been performed somewhere
in the United States every night

It’s bed time, but it’s not quite
time to go to sleep...
Celebrating the routines and
loving nonsense of this very

EVERYMAN
SPECIAL
APPEAL 2016
This year, we’re running a campaign to raise
funds for our diverse Community and Education
work and to ensure that we can maintain our
beautiful, historic theatre.
If you’d like to donate to the range of projects we’re
campaigning for in 2016 please visit everymantheatre.org.uk
and the Support Us page. Alternatively, why not add a small
donation to your next ticket purchase – any amount, however
small, when added together with other donations can make a
big difference.
You can become one
of our Friends from as
little as £25! Can you
afford not to join...?
