So, it’s not just me in the photo. The Exeter Northcott now has an Associates Programme.

Bright young companies, committed to the South West, who we’re supporting and helping to flourish in the midscale. We are investing in the future and you will have the pleasure of seeing these talented companies and their work first. Exeter Northcott is one of a select group of midscale theatres – places where directors, designers, actors, writers of note in every generation – current, past and future – cut their teeth. Two of the associates are in the programme this autumn. Metta Theatre open it with their version of Rob Biddulph’s BLOWN AWAY. Le Navet Bête will be performing with us for the first time in DICK TRACY and they’ll be opening a new show with us in Spring 2017, and Paddle Boat Theatre Company have begun working on our first Outreach project. Or as we put it – Reach Out. Watch out for more news.

Our model embraces production – this is our dynamo, our heart. We are all excited by the prospect of PETER PAN. It is a play I’ve always wanted to direct and we can’t wait to get into rehearsals. It’s also great to be offering so many opportunities to young people in our community.

We will continue to programme the best and widest range of quality work at the Northcott.

This season we are delighted to welcome Complicite on their first visit to Exeter. Two of the best shows I’ve ever seen were by this company and set a benchmark for groundbreaking, innovative theatre. We are also delighted to be co-producing FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS with English Touring Theatre and opening the national tour. Don’t miss Rattigan at his comic best.

Best wishes, Paul Jepson Artistic & Executive Director

A Pacifist’s Guide to the War on Cancer is an all-singing, alldancing examination of life with a cancer diagnosis. This brand new musical takes you on a whistle-stop tour through five unconventional stories about cancer, confronting the highs and lows of the scariest word we know.

Bryony Kimmings creates fearless theatre to provoke social change. Her collaboration with Complicite will look behind the poster campaigns and pink ribbons at the reality of cancer: the waiting rooms and chemo suites, the changed bodies, the family pressures and financial worries.

Expect big anthems, shiny costumes, blood, tears and real cancer patients in this rip-roaring, heartbreaking celebration of ordinary life and death, scratching at the battle metaphors that surround cancer to reveal what really lies beneath.

An Evening with PAM AYRES Sat 12 – Sun 13 November Sat 7.30pm; Sun 5pm Pam Ayres has been making the nation laugh for over 40 years. Her work is funny, and approachable. Her hair-trigger timing, her eye for the detail of everyday life, and for the absurdity therein, makes for an art that hides art.

Recent radio broadcasts include Just A Minute, Loose Ends, and five of her own series of Ayres On The Air for Radio 4, and on TV the Paul O’Grady and Alan Titchmarsh shows, The TV That Made Me, Countdown, and The One Show.

“Pam Ayres’ session was one of my highlights of the Hay Festival this year because I laughed so hard that my stomach ached for hours” REVIEW FROM THE HAY FESTIVAL 2015

Mon 14 – Sat 19 November 7.30pm Wed Schools Matinee 1.30pm Sat Matinee 2.30pm Join the 7m theatregoers worldwide who have experienced “The most brilliantly effective spine-chiller you will ever encounter” Daily Telegraph.

Susan Hill’s acclaimed ghost story comes dramatically alive in Stephen Mallatratt’s ingenious stage adaptation. This gripping production, directed by Robin Herford, is a brilliantly successful study in atmosphere, illusion and controlled horror.

A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black, engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough, but then, as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. www.thewomaninblack.com

EDUCATION & OUTREACH

Our education programme is 10 months old, and in this time we have worked with 956 pupils and students from 21 schools and colleges...

From Gangsta Granny Drama and Art workshops in the primaries to Exeter College International Baccalaureate students, we’ve had a fantastic time since last September building partnerships with schools, colleges, teachers and pupils. We’ve seen St Martin’s Primary Cranbrook dancing in the aisles, Nick Moran rehearsing with BTeC Performing Arts students at Exeter College, the Mark Bruce Company working with A Level Dance classes and Northern Ballet dancing with pre-school children. We’ve also been working in partnership with WESC Foundation – The Specialist Centre for Visual Impairment, on a six week drama project which involved learners performing their own piece of theatre to the whole school and college. We pass on our thanks to all the artists, performers, teachers, and most of all the young people, for their enthusiasm and congratulate them on their achievements.

METTA THEATRE COMPANY Following our sold out week of Metta Theatre’s Jungle Book, we are delighted that Metta have chosen to develop their next exciting project, Wind in the Willows, in Exeter this summer.

“After the smash hit success of our Jungle Book earlier this year, Exeter Northcott Theatre was our first choice to begin developing our extraordinary new hip-hop musical of Wind In The Willows. Working with some of the same participants who were part of the Jungle Book community chorus we’re thrilled both to deepen our relationship with the local communities and to cement our new partnership with the theatre who have been instrumental in getting this exciting project off the ground.”

Poppy Burton-Morgan, Artistic Director Metta Theatre

LOST BOYS! In preparation for our magical Christmas show, Peter Pan, we have been looking for a talented group of young people to play the parts of the Lost Boys and the two young Darling boys, Michael and John. We were inundated with applications for our audition process and we’d like to say thank you to all who applied. Visit our website’s education news pages to learn of their progress in the coming months as we all get ready for an awfully big adventure!

Getting here on foot or by bike We’d like to encourage those who are able to walk or cycle to the Theatre to do so whenever they can. There are several cycle paths and lanes in and around the Theatre and university campus to ensure the safety of cyclists and there is a cycle shelter to the left of the theatre’s front entrance.

Getting here by car All car parking is FREE on campus after 6pm Mon - Fri, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays, regardless of permit restrictions on signage. All restrictions on parking are lifted for visitors during these times, but please be aware that car parks are pay and display at all other times.

Vehicle Routes and Parking The nearest car parks to the theatre are Car Parks C & D, located only a few minutes walk away, and Theatre patrons may park from 5pm if displaying a voucher which the Box Office will issue with your tickets on request.

Car Park C, is located next to the INTO Academic Centre at the top of Stocker Road.

Entrance to the car park is on North Park Road, opposite the bus stop.

Car Park D is located at the end of North Park Road and is just a five minute walk from the theatre. This is a permit holder only car park Mon – Fri until 6pm, please check with the box office if attending a weekday daytime performance. /ExeterNorthcottTheatre

Stocker Road is open to pedestrians and cyclists only. Vehicles should enter the campus from Prince of Wales Road via Streatham Drive and then The Queen’s Drive, before joining North Park Road and then Rennes Drive (please see map below).

The biggest demand for parking at Streatham Campus is expected to be between 9am and 6pm from Monday to Friday during the University term. For this reason we now only schedule the following daytime shows: Green Matinees – please show your support for the environment and use Public Transport to

attend these discounted midweek matinee shows; School Matinees – we advise groups to travel to the theatre by coach for these performances.

This map will help you find the car parks.

For up to date information about planning your visit please contact the Box Office on 01392 726363, visit our website or check the information we send you with your tickets.
