Trinity Theatre greatly appreciates funding
received from:
Trinity gratefully acknowledges the valuable
support of our partners:
Welcome to Summer at Trinity!
I am delighted to say that attendance is up on last year and we are
seeing many more people who haven’t found us before! This support
is vital if we are to realise our ambitious plans for the future. We also
recognise that we are in difficult economic times and have managed to
hold out ticket prices for the third year running. Our new digital cinema
is powering away and this season showcases the very best of world
cinema, Hollywood blockbusters and films direct from the London
International Animation Festival. With more screenings you have another
chance to catch up on your favourites! Our comfortable Bar & Café
is continuing to be a delicious success, serving audiences cakes and
coffees, light meals and pre-show 2-course meal deals. We have been
truly overwhelmed by the help that you, our audience, have given us so
far and we are grateful to Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and others
for financial assistance. Don’t forget, by joining our Friends scheme not
only do you get discounts and advance booking for top shows (such as
Jack Dee & Lee Evans) but you are directly supporting your local Arts
venue, allowing us to continue to thrive.
As ever, I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, so contact
me at [email protected]

Whipping It Up
By Steve Thompson
Tue 8 - Sat 12 May 8pm
3pm matinee on Wed 9 & Sat 12 May
“Westminster runs the country but the Whips run
Westminster”
It’s a week before Christmas and the new Tory government
is facing dissent over its latest Bill. With a majority of only
three, the Whips’ office is out in full force and they’ll stop
at nothing to keep the strays in line. But they’re in for a
long night: boy scouts are rioting in Whitehall, the PM’s
golfing with the President, five Tory rebels are on the loose
and the Chief Whip’s playing at Santa – could this be the
beginnings of a leadership challenge?
This scandalously funny comedy blows the lid off the
Despatch Box and reveals the true secrets locked in the
Whip’s safe.

She Stoops To Conquer
By Oliver Goldsmith
Tue 17 - Sat 21 Jul 8pm
3pm matinee on Sat 21 and Sun 22 Jul
Upper class Charles Marlow, bashful around women of quality
- yet quite frisky with women of another stamp - is on his way
to the Hardcastle household to court Kate, the daughter of a
country squire.
Hilarity ensues when a bit of tomfoolery by Hardcastle’s playboy
step-son, Lumpkin, causes Marlow to mistake the home for an
inn, the squire for the inn-keeper, and Kate for a serving wench.
Kate quickly realizes that a saucy servant is just the role needed
to woo and test her suitor in this rollicking misadventure. Whilst
Hardcastle’s indignation intensifies, Kate’s appreciation for her
misguided suitor soars...
One of the great, generous-hearted and ingenious comedies of
the English language, Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer offers
a celebration of chaos, courtship and the dysfunctional family.

Withering Looks
LipService Theatre
Fri 18 May 8pm
LipService - Britain’s favourite literary lunatics,
are back with their cult Brontë spoof Withering
Looks. The classic comic duo, Maggie Fox and Sue
Ryding, just couldn’t resist the urge to dust off their
crinolines, wear flattering bonnets and sit at rainlashed windows in a pale and decorative manner.
Don’t miss this chance to share in the silliness too!
Withering Looks takes an ‘authentic’ look at the lives
and works of the Brontë sisters – well, two of them
actually, Anne’s just popped out for a cup of sugar.
Peopled with many of the characters we know and
love, Maggie and Sue move effortlessly from frock
to frock coat.
Withering Looks has won a Manchester Evening
News Theatre Award and the Critics Award for
Comedy at the Edinburgh Festival.

Born
In The Gardens
By Peter Nichols
Creative Cow
Fri 25 May 8pm
Set in an ageing mock-Tudor house in Bristol in
1979, Maud and her stay-at-home son, Mo, pass
their days happily together. He talks to the cat,
plays his drums and concocts ridiculous cocktails
for them both while she sits chatting away to the
people on the telly. No amount of coaxing from
Maud’s suave son, Hedley, and Mo’s glamorous twin
sister, Queenie, will persuade the eccentric pair to
lead a more normal life – even the “michael wave” is
a gadget too far and part of a world neither wishes
to inhabit.
This is a story set when new technology, business,
morality and social patterns were changing the
nation’s behaviour. Master playwright, Peter Nichols
(‘Privates on Parade’ & ‘A Day in the Death of Joe
Egg’), reveals in his hilarious and deeply touching
play that change is not always for the best and that
“opening the cage door does not necessarily imply
an escape..”

David Copperfield
A new adaption by Stephan Drury
Mad Dogs and Englishmen
Thu 31 May 7.30pm
Replete with comic, cruel and repugnant characters,
Charles Dickens’ semi-autobiographical novel follows
a vulnerable boy on his journey to manhood. It is
a story of struggle against poverty and obscurity:
a story of loss, loneliness, and the betrayal of
innocence.
Mad Dogs & Englishmen bring Dickens’ classic tale
to the stage with a twist and a flourish in their new
adaptation. Touring nationally as part of the Dickens
bicentennial, this fast-paced and dynamic production
is faithful to the book and captures all the hilarity and
pathos of Dickens’ writing. With a cast of two, this
will be an evening of pure theatre.

‘The Dumb Waiter’
& ‘The Lover’
Harold Pinter Double Bill
European Arts Company
Sat 2 Jun 8pm
Kent based international touring company, European
Arts Co. is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a
national tour of Harold Pinter’s taut black comedies The
Dumb Waiter & The Lover as a double-bill.
The Dumb Waiter features two hit-men waiting to do a
job in a basement room, and the seemingly banal comic
banter of the two gangsters was clearly an influence on
Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and ‘Pulp Fiction’,
as well as the recent British film ‘In Bruges’. The Lover
was first presented as a TV play in 1963 and later
adapted for the stage. It is a visually stunning, slightly
sinister and frequently hilarious take on the idea of an
open marriage. When first broadcast on television, the
head of Associated Rediffusion warned that it should
only be watched by ‘married couples’...
The aim of the company is to present ‘quirky classics’
in an imaginative and entertaining way, frequently
highlighting the comedy.

Rush’s high-octane style breathes raw physicality into this brutal
composition of modern-day sexual politics, set to an electrifying original

As their lives inextricably collide, one thing is certain: no one is as they

Patrick Marber’s classic text brings the vulnerabilities of the human
condition straight to the fore. A darkly humorous deconstruction of
intimacy, isolation and love in an ever-connected world from an up-andcoming new local company. Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Charlie Dore
Sat 9 Jun 8pm
Widely held to be amongst the UK’s finest singersongwriters, Charlie Dore is one of the few UK female
artists to secure a top 20 chart hit in the US, with
her enduring radio classic, ‘Pilot of the Airwaves’. Her
songs have been recorded by a veritable who’s who of
popular music, including Tina Turner, George Harrison,
Lisa Stansfield, Paul Carrick and Celine Dion. Her
chart success has continued with a UK number one,
‘Ain’t No Doubt’, sung by Jimmy Nail.
Purveying knowing, worldly, delicate but mordant pop
born out of wisdom, and the desire to share it, Dore’s
voice is small, pearly and oddly timeless. Her songs,
an eclectic collection of genre-defying musical styles
which she describes as “borrowed from folk, country,
Django Reinhardt and the Beatles”, consider life in all
its cheapskatery and riches.

Provocative and brilliant, this sprawling neurotic nightmare of urban catastrophe is rocket fuelled
by an electrifying performance from Anna Paquin, who plays a New York City high-school student
convinced that she inadvertently played a role in a fatal traffic accident. In her attempts to set
things right, however, she meets bewildering opposition at every turn.

Thoroughly enjoyable period thriller that speculates on the last days of author Edgar Allan Poe.
With a washed-up Poe taking on a serial killer inspired by his stories, it plays like a Gothic version

Headhunters (Hodjegerne)
15 | 100mins | Norwegian | Morten Tyldum

Deliriously entertaining thriller, based on source material by bestselling Norwegian author, Jo
Nesbø. Sit back and smile as the eminently hissable central character, Roger, part-time art thief

Losey’s second collaboration with Harold Pinter and Dirk Bogarde plays out in Oxford over a few
languid, hot summer weeks, when a married fortyish academic develops an obsession with one of

A colourful, sweeping narrative propels this romantic epic that follows two women and the men
in their lives. It starts in 1963 Paris and ends in 2008 Paris with trips taken in the intervening

Wed 11 Jul 8pm
Adapted from Matthew Lewis’s 1796 Gothic novel, the story focuses on a well-respected monk

On an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, two twelve-year-olds fall in

Snow White And The Huntsman
Wed 25 Jul 8pm
TBC | TBC | Rupert Sanders
In this epic action-adventure, Kristen Stewart plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil
queen (Charlize Theron), who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined, in
a twist to the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, is that the young woman threatening her reign has been
training in the art of war with the huntsman dispatched to kill her.
The Turin Horse (A Torinói ló)
TBC | 146mins | Hungarian & German | Béla Tarr
Sun 29 Jul 7.30pm
Silver Bear winner at the Berlin Film Festival, this last (he claims) film from Hungarian maestro
Tarr is sparked by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s mental breakdown in 1889, after
witnessing a horse being maltreated in Turin. Tarr proceeds to take us through six days in the
life of the horse and its owner. Immersive and spellbinding, this is a high note for the visionary
filmmaker to end his career on.
