In 1945, James Bridie’s Citizens' Company moved to Gorbals Street. In the 70 years since then, the Citizens has become famous across the world thanks to the talent and commitment of the many actors, writers, theatre practitioners and participants who have worked with the theatre.

But more importantly, it’s down to audiences who over and over again come to enjoy the exciting, accessible and relevant productions that have made the Citizens a vital part of Glasgow’s cultural life.

Come and join us for a celebratory season of great drama in your local theatre and be a part of the Citizens Theatre’s future.

FILTER’S MACBETH

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

A Filter Theatre and Tobacco Factory Theatres production

MAIN THEATRE 20 – 31 Jan 7.30pm MATINEES 24 & 31 Jan 2.30pm SCHOOLS 22 Jan 10.30am 28 Jan 1.30pm POST SHOW TALK 27 Jan TICKETS £12.50 – £20.50 See pp44–45 for all prices CREATOR Filter COMPOSER Tom Haines

“Whence is that knocking?

How is it with me, when every noise appalls me?”

A demarcated area on stage. Three Weird Sisters operate a strange collection of electronic musical apparatus.

Macbeth is invited in to play.

Filter's radical version of Macbeth is playful, kaleidoscopic and horrific. Shakespeare’s corrosive, psychological thriller of ambition, power, witchcraft and sanity with innovative sound and music to create a strange, funny and scintillating journey to the epicentre of the “heat-oppressed brain”.

One of the most dynamic theatre companies touring the UK, Filter return to the Citizens Theatre with another entirely fresh approach to Shakespeare following their irreverent and contemporary recreation of Twelfth Night.

“For newcomers to Shakespeare, I can’t think of a better introduction…it’s a celebration: mad, wild, loving and hilarious.”

TICKETS 50p – £20.50 | £8.50 previews See pp44–45 for all prices DIRECTOR David Hayman DESIGNER John Byrne LIGHTING Jeanine Byrne 6 | Spring 2015

In the technicolour confines of the slab room of A. F. Stobo & Co. Carpet Factory in Paisley, young boys have to grow up fast. Strutting adolescent double act Phil and Spanky are passing the time with an endless verbal tug o’ war and merciless ribbing of their workmates and boss. But even the distractions of the annual staff dance, the monthly pay packet or the unattainable Lucille can’t stop Phil from dreaming of becoming an artist.

One of the best-loved works in twentieth-century Scottish theatre, the original creators—writer and designer John Byrne and director David Hayman­— revive this funny and poignant play which paints a vivid picture of the tough, rebellious, workingclass culture of 1950s industrial Scotland. David Hayman will also appear on stage in the role of the boys’ gaffer, Willie Currie.

John Byrne and David Hayman in conversation 19 Feb 5.45pm A unique opportunity to hear from the original creators of The Slab Boys and two major figures of Scotland's cultural life.

"Survival, always survival. I had to limit my own actions to what I, in my conscience, could answer for."

AD BSL CAP

Shocking and disturbing yet still vitally relevant, Into That Darkness looks into the very heart of evil and asks how, 70 years after the end of the Second World War, we can prevent atrocities of this scale from happening again. Writer Robert David MacDonald was one of the three artistic leaders of the Citizens Theatre from 1971 – 2003.

SS-Obersturmführer Franz Stangl oversaw the deaths of nearly 1 million people in Nazi extermination camps. Following his conviction for the murders in 1970, historian, biographer and journalist Gitta Sereny interviewed Stangl to understand how an individual rationalises their actions in the face of a crime of such magnitude. This is the dramatisation of those chilling and harrowing interviews.

TICKETS £15!

As a birthday gift from us to you, all our full price tickets for Into That Darkness are £15. You can still book preview tickets at £8.50, and Tuesdays at £12.50. See p44 for details.

CIRCLE STUDIO 22 – 24 Jan 8pm MATINEE 24 Jan 3pm TICKETS £12 full price £8.50 concessions See pp44-45 for concession info WRITER Zinnie Harris COMPOSER John Harris CAST Pauline Knowles Alan McHugh

The Garden is a gentle tale of love and hope set in a high rise flat in the last days of the world where a dysfunctional couple discover a strange plant growing through the floor of their kitchen. The more they pull up its roots, the more it grows back, its gentle insistence reminding them of emotions long-forgotten.

Commissioned by sound (Scotland’s Festival of New Music), The Garden is a short opera for two singing actors based on Zinnie Harris’ short play of the same name staged as part of the ‘World is Too Much With Us’ season at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh.

“An astonishingly moving portrait of a loving couple at the end of their tether.”

The Scotsman on the original play. “this opera, with its two actors, can compete with the best of British or Northern European contemporary cinema.”

LONG LIVE THE LITTLE KNIFE

BY DAVID LEDDY

A Fire Exit / David Leddy production

CIRCLE STUDIO 24 – 28 Feb 7.30pm MATINEE 28 Feb 2.30pm TICKETS £12 full price £8.50 concessions See pp44-45 for all concession info WRITER & DIRECTOR David Leddy DESIGN Ali Maclaurin LIGHTING Nich Smith CAST Neil McCormack Wendy Seager

Long Live the Little Knife is a dynamic, absurd and uplifting theatre piece about forgery, castration and blind drunkenness.

Liz and Jim are small-time con-artists who need 250 grand to buy their way out of a turf war. Their mission is to be the greatest art forgers in the world. There’s only one problem. They can’t paint.

Written and directed by “theatrical maverick” (Sunday Times) and “site-specific genius” (The Scotsman), David Leddy.

Originally developed with support from the Royal Shakespeare Company and performed at the British Museum, in this fastpaced, provocative and boisterous caper Leddy finds the incongruous connections between verbatim theatre, free-market economics, the psychology of ‘truth’ and a castrated labradoodle in a classic Chanel clutch bag.

The Citizens has been at the heart of the Gorbals community for 70 years.

We are embarking on a major ÂŁ16.5m redevelopment of our iconic and much loved theatre that will ensure the Citizens continues to serve our audiences, community and participants into the future.

While we still have the final ÂŁ5m to raise, work is expected to commence in Autumn 2016. When completed, the new building will provide better facilities for everyone who uses the theatre. These will include universal access throughout the building, a new cafe bar, better temperature control in the auditorium along with new spaces for learning and community activities.

The redevelopment will also make the building's unique heritage more visible to all who visit.

The Citizens Theatre’s extensive learning programme connects the widest possible range of people with our work on stage, and with each other. We believe that everyone has the right to a creative voice and the chance to be part of the artistic life of our theatre, so our Citizens Learning team works with a range of groups of people, in schools, in the social work and health services, in prisons and the justice system.

These are just some of our current projects:

DIVIDED CITY Primary 7 pupils from 44 denominational and non-denominational schools in North Lanarkshire have been working together in pairs to take part in workshops and perform a stage adaptation of Theresa Breslin’s novel exploring religious tension in Scotland. By the end of March 2015, 10,000 young people, their teachers and families will have engaged with the project since January 2014.

THE CHARA PROJECT 85 vulnerable women experiencing complex needs and homelessness have so far taken part in creative writing, drama, singing, art, craft, and design workshops at the Chara respite centre in Possilpark, building their self-esteem, creative skills and helping them to prepare for their reintegration into the community.

CITIZENS COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE People from all walks of life meet every week at the Citizens Theatre to learn drama skills and take part in a range of creative projects. Community Collective members took part in Sports Day and On Common Ground in 2014.

FRIDAY CLUB Adults with a learning disability and an interest in theatre come together to attend performances, meet Citizens staff and develop performance, communication and social skills. Members of the Friday Club also took part in Sports Day and On Common Ground in 2014.

HMP BARLINNIE RESIDENCY The Citizens Learning team are specialists in working with prisoners and exoffenders. Two years in to our three-year residency at HMP Barlinnie, and 53 prisoners have so far taken part in acting, story-writing, design projects and the prison’s first Barlinnie Arts Festival, a week-long multi-artform programme.

This new piece, Southside Stories, will draw on interviews with young adults in Govanhill, the setting for Douglas' play – a diverse and dynamic part of the city.
