Welcome

Welcome to this new season and a brochure jam-packed with more plays, dance, musicals and special events than ever before. We pride ourselves on offering something for everybody, whether it’s seeing world-class dance (Akram Khan), a mega musical (Grease), a classic play (The Importance Of Being Earnest) or a sticky treat for families and young peeps (The Twits) – we hope you’ll find something Made at Curve just for you.

We also have a world-class group of producers and theatre-makers visiting us this season; we are honoured Belarus Free Theatre will be premiering their new work, Burning Doors. Leicester is built on the extraordinary contribution of Ugandan-Asian refugees, so it is fitting we continue to welcome refugees and theatre-makers who have been exiled from their homelands.

There’s much to celebrate in our mighty city as it continues to grow in confidence and look towards the future with renewed vigour and optimism. Our commitment to providing opportunities for everybody to experience theatre has never been greater, and we are bursting at the seams with opportunities to get involved: our Family Days are fuller than ever, the Curve Community Company are rehearsing for our summer musical Bugsy Malone, Curve Young Company is expanding and we are planning our second Dementia Friendly performance, which will take place during the run of Grease.

All of this activity requires investment and we are indebted to Leicester City Council and Arts Council England for their continued support. We are also incredibly grateful to you for coming on this journey with us. If you’d like to make your commitment to Curve even more special, why not consider buying a seat in the auditorium? (pg 38). It’s a totally unique way to support the work we are doing.

Lastly, this October our Chairman, Philip Tasker steps down from our Board. Philip has been a driving force in the success of our theatre and on behalf of everyone here, we would like to thank him for his brilliant leadership, endless support and commitment. We will miss him greatly.

WED 17 – SAT 20 AUG • STUDIO

FRI 9 & SAT 10 SEP • THEATRE

Following last year’s Sweet Charity, National Youth Music Theatre return to Curve with electric, rock musical Spring Awakening.

Caught between childhood and adulthood, this poignant story follows a group of teenagers who live in a world without any answers. Led by the headstrong and charismatic Melchior Gabor, they are forced to educate themselves on life’s biggest issues and revolt against the adults who suppress them. But as the group learns more about the world around them, their own lives begin to spiral out of control.

With a Tony Award-winning score of punchy anthems, this gritty and raw portrayal of youth will be directed by Curve Artistic Director, Nikolai Foster.

Recommended for ages 14+

The Moscow State Circus returns to the UK with its latest and greatest production to date, based on the Russian folklore story of Cvetik-Semicvetik, or “the flower with seven colours” by Valentin Petrovich Katayev where each of the petals represent a wish and is the perfect back drop for what is undoubtedly the greatest and most famous circus on earth.

Professor Wacko and his crazy side kick Natalia Mezentceva invite the audience to a wondrous and mysterious enchanted garden, a place where dreams come true and a place to see magnificent feats of human achievement, the like of which have never been witnessed in Great Britain before.

Our Loveable Buffoons guide us through this tantalising tale, granting wishes to the beautiful Kushka Veslovskiy who plays Zhenya, surrounded by a multitude of flying, back-flipping, juggling and roller-skating performers.

BELARUS FREE THEATRE

Photograph: Petr Pavlensky

“One of the bravest and most inspired underground troupes on the planet” New York Times (2015)

TUE 23 – SAT 27 AUG, 7.30PM • STUDIO In this blazingly contemporary new work, Belarus Free Theatre combine forces with Pussy Riot’s Maria Alyokhina to share stories of persecuted artists living under dictatorship who will not be silenced.

Burning Doors interrogates what happens to people when they are declared enemies of the state simply for making art. How the meaning of home and displacement reframes under systematic coercion and ideological warfare.

This brand new production blends sensuous theatricality and vigorous physicality to shine a light on total suppression of artistic freedoms, drawn from the real-life stories of iconoclastic Russian performance artist Petr Pavlensky, incarcerated Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov and Pussy Riot’s Maria Alyokhina.

Each performance is followed by a post-show discussion with the artists and special guests (up to one hour).

Created in partnership with ArtReach as part of Journeys Festival International.

Performed in Russian and Belarusian with English surtitles.

Contains nudity and scenes of a graphic nature.

Footloose is back and it’s better than ever before!

Kick off your Sunday shoes and cut loose, as the explosive rock ‘n’ roll musical sensation Footloose bursts onto Curve’s stage in a remastered show sure to get your toes tapping. Based on the 1980s hit film that took the world by storm, Footloose the musical sizzles with the same spirit of youth, rebellion and romance.

City boy Ren thinks his life is over when he is forced to move to Bomont, an American rural backwater. But things are far worse than he could have ever imagined, as the town bans dancing. It isn’t long before Ren can’t resist breaking the rules, and he’s not alone.

Starring Gareth Gates (29 Aug – 2 Sep) and Lee Brennan (3 Sep only) as Willard and Maureen Nolan as Vi Moore, enjoy the best in UK musical talent, cutting-edge choreography and classic hits including Holding Out For A Hero, Almost Paradise, Let’s Hear It For The Boy and the unforgettable title track, Footloose.

Produced by the award-winning team at Sell A Door Theatre Company – producers of Avenue Q and American Idiot.

MON 3 – SAT 8 OCT • THEATRE Celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the nation’s favourite movie.

Based on the 1982 novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, this thrilling stage production examines desperation, injustice, friendship and hope behind the claustrophobic bars of a maximum security facility.

“Electrifying. It truly is a must-see show” The Observer

“Gritty… captivating” The Richmond Guardian

The 1994 feature film, regularly voted Britain’s favourite ever movie, starred Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman and was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Despite protests of his innocence, Andy Dufresne is handed a double life sentence for the brutal murder of his wife and her lover.

Incarcerated at the notorious Shawshank facility, he quickly learns that no one can survive alone.

Andy strikes up an unlikely friendship with the prison fixer Red, and things take a slight turn for the better. However, when Warden Stammas decides to bully Andy into subservience and exploit his talents for accountancy, a desperate plan is quietly hatched.

THU 6 OCT – SAT 29 OCT • STUDIO “The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”

Artistic Director Nikolai Foster gives The Importance of Being Earnest the Made at Curve treatment with a fresh revival of Oscar Wilde’s classic play.

Bachelor Earnest Worthing and his best mate Algernon Moncrieff hope to marry society’s most eligible ladies, Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. But the lads’ courtship of the women is far from straight forward! With double identities, handbag mishaps and hostile encounters with the formidable Lady Bracknell, the pair become embroiled in a web of mistaken identities with hilarious consequences.

Regarded as one of the finest comedies in the English language, Wilde’s play explodes with his trademark razor-sharp wit and is a brilliant exploration of the hypocrisies of a society where what we see on the outside is very different from what lies beneath.

Join us for this stylish new production and follow our charming pair as they discover “the vital importance of being earnest”.

FRI 28 OCT, 8PM • THEATRE

MICK PERRIN WORLDWIDE IN ASSOCIATION WITH MANDY WARD ARTIST MANAGEMENT PRESENTS

The Joy Of Mincing is Julian Clary’s celebration of 30 years as a camp comedian. There is so much to tell you; the ups and downs of his sordid love life, the true and heart stopping account of how he saved Dame Joan Collins’ life, and don’t start him on the perils of his DIY electrical home enema kit.

On stage Julian will proudly wear his well-deserved M.B.E. (Mincer of the British Empire). It was the last thing he expected to receive when he knelt down in front of Prince Charles in the scullery at Buckingham Palace…

And because Julian gives and gives (until it hurts) he will be handing out honours to a lucky few in the audience too. This is Julian at his filthy best.

Live and unplugged.

AKRAM KHAN COMPANY

  “Thrilling and beautiful”

THU 3 – SAT 5 NOV, 7.30PM • THEATRE

TICKETS £32.50* – £14.50*

Following a residency at Curve in the Summer of 2015, award-winning choreographer and dancer Akram Khan returns with his brand new, full-length production, Until the Lions.

In this partial adaptation of poet Karthika Naïr’s book Until The Lions: Echoes From The Mahabharata, an original reworking of the epic Mahabharata, Khan uses kathak and contemporary dance to tell the tale of Amba, a princess abducted on her wedding day and stripped of her honour, who invokes the gods to seek revenge.

Bringing together some of the original team from his acclaimed solo DESH, Khan explores the notion and the physical expression of gender.

Until The Lions is one of Khan’s most startling and spectacular works to date, in which he performs alongside two of his company dancers and four musicians.

Running time: 1 hour (no interval)

The Collector

by Henry Naylor

THU 10 & FRI 11 NOV, 7.45PM • STUDIO 2003. Mazrat Prison, Iraq. Previously one of Saddam’s most notorious torture houses where more than 10,000 people died, the prison is now under Allied command.

Nassir works here, translating for the American interrogators.

He’s local, pro-Western, determined to bring liberal values to his country and is about to get married to Zoya, his sweetheart.

But when he is recognised by Faisal, new prisoner and psychotic supporter of the old regime, his life becomes a living hell.

Born out of Henry Naylor’s own experiences of a visit to Bagram Airbase in 2003, The Collector is a compelling tale of murder, evil and betrayal set in occupied Iraq. One of the most highly-acclaimed shows at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival, it won a prestigious Scotsman Fringe First Award, which was followed by a sold-out run at London’s Arcola Theatre.

“Why, this car is automatic.

It’s systematic. It’s hyyyyydromatic.

Why, its greased lightning!”

SAT 26 NOV - SAT 14 JAN • THEATRE Grease is the word this Christmas as Nikolai Foster directs Curve’s brand new production of the electrifying, smash hit musical.

After a whirlwind summer romance, leather-clad greaser Danny and girl-next-door Sandy are unexpectedly reunited when she transfers to Rydell High for senior year. But can they survive the trials and tribulations of teenage life, and find true love once more?

A favourite on Broadway, the West End and the silver screen, Grease topped Channel 4’s poll to find the 100 Greatest Musicals of all time. Featuring a phenomenal score including Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin’, Hopelessly Devoted To You and You’re The One That I Want, this is set to be the musical event of the year, celebrating the birth of American cool and the incredible pop explosion of the 1950s.

So round-up your Burger Palace Boys, pick up your Pink Ladies and get ready to burn up the quarter mile this Christmas!

“Mr. Twit was a twit. He was born a twit.

And, now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever.”

SAT 10 DEC – SUN 15 JAN • STUDIO Mr Twit has a very hairy face. His beard is spiky and smelly.

It also contains cornflakes, sardines and even some Stilton.

Mrs Twit is equally as foul and she hates Mr Twit just as much as Mr Twit hates her.

The Twits really are the most spiteful and revolting couple you could ever hope to meet. They spend their days playing wicked tricks on each other and mistreating Muggle-Wump monkeys. They also have a particularly sticky trick to catch Roly-Poly birds for their bird pies. But not for much longer because the monkeys have a cunning plan to teach those terrible Twits a lesson.

Directed by Max Webster (The Lorax at The Old Vic), Curve’s mischievous new co-production with Rose Theatre Kingston promises to be just as disgusting and repulsive as earth worms disguised as spaghetti – the perfect Christmas treat for all the family.

Dementia friendly performances are tailored to meet the specific 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)

Tailored for customers who would benefit from a more relaxed performance environment.

Audience members are free to make noise and, while the theatre doors will close, audience members can come and go as they please. We also reserve a quiet zone and set up a screening of the performance for anybody needing time out of the auditoria.

WHEELCHAIR SPACES IN ALL OF OUR PERFORMANCE AREAS

All public areas are accessible to wheelchair users, including lift access to the circle level.

We have allocated wheelchair spaces for every performance, both in the Theatre and Studio.

If you wish to transfer to a theatre seat we can store the wheelchair upon request.

ACCESSIBLE TOILETS

Available on both the stalls and circle levels. We also have a Changing Places accessible toilet with adult hoist on the foyer level, next to door 4 of the Theatre.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING

Available on Southampton Street, in the NCP Rutland Centre Car Park adjacent to Curve, and we have a drop-off point on Rutland Street.
