SHAPE THE FUTURE OF TECHNICAL THEATRE

“I am so grateful for my time at Curve as an Apprentice. Not only did I learn so much and developed my skills and confidence as a technician, but also as a person growing from adolescence into adulthood.

I wouldn’t be where I am now without the support of The Andy Nairn Bursaries in Technical Theatre. I highly recommend doing an apprenticeship if you are looking to gain hands-on experience and knowledge in the industry” LiLi Peberdy

Behind every show at Curve there is a talented team of technicians, working tirelessly to create the magic you see on stage.

Play a transformative role in nurturing the next generation of backstage professionals by supporting apprenticeships, workshops and more.

Donate to The Andy Nairn Bursaries in Technical Theatre and help young people – and anyone curious about our work behind the scenes – access life-changing careers and training opportunities at Curve.

to a brand-new season of shows here at Curve!

It’s been another bonkers-busy start to 2026, as our Made at Curve shows have been popping up all over the UK – KINKY BOOTS is at the mighty London Coliseum, LEGALLY BLONDE is bending and snapping across the UK and Ireland; INSIDE AMERICAN PIE played to sold-out crowds in our Studio, visiting us from Canada; KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN has taken her majestic web to Bristol and Southampton and our brand-new BANK OF DAVE visited Salford. Thank you for all of your support and getting behind these shows.

Hot on their heels is another Made at Curve quintet, taking us through the next half of this year. We are proud to present the world stage premiere of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, based on Thomas Harris’ seminal novel. We’re thrilled John Partridge has agreed to play Hannibal Lecter in Gina Gionfriddo’s beautiful adaptation. Gina’s play BECKY SHAW is currently playing on Broadway, where it is up for two Tony Awards!

We’re equally elated to present Willy Russell’s legendary play EDUCATING RITA, following the story of bright-eyed twenty-something Susan ‘Rita’ White, as she dreams of making something of her life. After her acclaimed production of WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, our incredibly talented Associate Director Cara Nolan is back at the helm for this play. Cara is joined by Curve favourite, Set and Costume Designer Michael Taylor – returning to Curve after designing THE SOUND OF MUSIC and MY FAIR LADY – alongside Lighting Designer Katy Morrison, Sound Designer Jack Baxter and Casting Director Richard Johnston. It’s always exhilarating to see how the Studio theatre can be transformed and EDUCATING RITA promises to do just that.

Alongside EDUCATING RITA is the musical story of the equally spirited Sylvia Pankhurst, in SYLVIA. We’re excited to be supporting Curve friend and colleague Kate Prince, with her latest work, which blends irresistible hip hop, funk and soul music from Josh Cohen and DJ Walde. The Old Vic and ZooNation’s phenomenal production tells the story of Emmeline Pankhurst’s rebellious middle child at the height of the suffrage movement. The tour kicks off with us, before finishing up at the Royal Albert Hall. The incomparable Beverley Knight MBE (SISTER ACT, THE DRIFTERS GIRL) reprises her Olivier Award-winning role as Emmeline.

This Christmas we swap beats for treats, as we invite you into a world of Pure Imagination with our Made at Curve Christmas spectacular, Roald Dahl’s CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. Join us for a dose of sweet nostalgia with your family and friends this festive season, told through David Greig’s superb adaptation and Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman’s incredible new score. The

show also includes the Bricusse / Newley favourites from the film, including The Candy Man and The Oompa Loompa Song. You can also discover the magic that will be going on behind-the-scenes of Wonka’s factory at our Theatre Day, on Thu 10 Dec. For even younger theatregoers and their families this Christmastime, we’re proud to present a new stage adaptation of the beloved book DAISY AND THE TROUBLE WITH CHRISTMAS. Written by Kes Gray (OI FROG!), this very funny story celebrates all things Christmas including the joy of being in the annual school play, with a little bit of mischief thrown in for good measure!

Our Made at Curve productions punctuate an equally thrilling programme of touring shows and events.

First-up, fasten your seatbelts for the return of Matthew Bourne’s award-winning take on Bizet’s opera in THE CAR MAN, before we hit the road in the 30th anniversary tour of PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT. Away from the automobile themed shows, direct from the West End comes a pub like no other in THE CHOIR OF MAN, a behind-the-scenes look at comedy heroes Cooper, Morecambe and Monkhouse in THE LAST LAUGH and the iconic contemporary classic THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME. And for children, we look forward to welcoming RAPUNZEL, TALES FROM ACORN WOOD and TOTO THE NINJA CAT, which will entertain and captivate in equal measure.

Our continued thanks to you, our audiences – surely the best in the UK? And thanks also to our principal funder Arts Council England and all our wonderful sponsors and supporters (if you’d like to learn more about our bespoke sponsorship packages and ways you can support Curve, please drop us a line at give@curvetheatre.co.uk).

If it wasn’t for this crucial investment, as well as the unwavering support from you, we simply wouldn’t be here today.

As ever, let us know what you think of the shows and we look forward to welcoming you to Curve across the year.

MON 15 – SAT 20 JUN • THEATRE

PERFORMANCE TIMES

Matthew Bourne’s award-winning THE CAR MAN is back!

Loosely based on Bizet’s ever-popular opera, THE CAR MAN has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire.

The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy 1950’s garage-diner in the American Mid-West where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome and enigmatic stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge.

Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling combines with one of the most passionately dramatic scores ever written, with music by Terry Davies featuring Rodion Shchedrin’s CARMEN SUITES (after Bizet’s CARMEN), to create a dance thriller like no other.

Age guidance: 12+ Running time: 2 hours (including a 20 minute interval).

Show warnings: Contains scenes of a sexual nature, brief nudity, smoking, strobe lighting and gunshots.

KEVIN BISHOP PANDORA COLIN OMAR MALIK LAUREN PATEL

MON 13 – SAT 18 JUL • THEATRE Tamzin Outhwaite, (EASTENDERS, RED CAP, HOTEL BABYLON and NEW TRICKS) stars as one of the most iconic characters in British theatre – the unforgettable Beverly in Mike Leigh’s ferocious black comedy of suburban life in the 1970s.

The production features a talented cast including Kevin Bishop (PETE AND DUD COME AGAIN), Pandora Colin (BALLET SHOES), Omar Malik returns to Curve (MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE) and Lauren Patel (THE EMPRESS AND FALKLAND SOUND) in this revival of the Stratford East production which received stellar reviews during a sold-out run in 2024.

Queen of the castle in her suburban semi, Beverly and husband Laurence welcome new neighbours Angela and Tony round for drinks.

Sue from next door is invited too but the real party is happening back at her place, as Sue’s teenage daughter Abigail can’t seem to keep the racket down.

Awkward small talk quickly descends into inappropriate flirtation and marital disputes: a soiree from hell, but it’d be rude to leave…

Mike Leigh’s razor-sharp portrait of social class, materialism and sexual tension in 1970s England is an unmissable modern classic.

Spend an evening with a master of the spoken word, BAFTA award-winning author, activist, performer and Sunday Times number one bestseller, Lemn Sissay OBE as he returns to the stage with this acclaimed show.

Every morning for 10 years Lemn has written four lines and shares them on his socials with no explanation and no title. After catching the public’s attention, they have been transformed into murals, quoted in books, made into songs and even tattoos. He chose the best of them for LET THE LIGHT POUR IN which became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller – and now a live show.

Step through a doorway of imagination into LITTLE JOURNEY; a world where dance, colour and music spark magic at every turn.

Two friends set out on a quest across lands of wonder, overcoming challenges, discovering courage, and learning that friendship, belief, and curiosity can light even the darkest path.

Choreographed by Aakash Odedra and brought to life through the playful artistry of Subhash Viman Gorania and Po-Nien Wang, the performance blends contemporary dance with classical Indian and Chinese movement.

Age guidance: 14+ Running time: 1 hour and 50 minutes (including a 20 minute interval).

DEMENTIA FRIENDLY PERFORMANCES (DF) Dementia Friendly performances are tailored to meet the needs of people living with dementia.

They include adaptations to the show, clearer visual markers and signage in the physical environment, and a relaxed attitude to movement and audience responses during the show.

RELAXED PERFORMANCES (RP)

Relaxed Performances are open to anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed performance environment. Audience members can interact with the performance in their own way and, while the theatre doors will close, guests can leave and re-enter the theatre at any time. We also make adaptations to the show, and reserve a quiet space for anyone needing some time out of the performance.

Available in our Theatre and Studio Theatre.

Please ask at the Box Office for a headset.
