40 Years of the New Vic “Theatre-in-the-round demands fast action, movement and sincere performances from the actors. It is exciting and real. It is theatre in 3D.” Stephen Joseph The New Vic was the first purpose-built theatre-inthe-round in the whole of Europe.

In 2026, the theatre celebrates 40 years of its iconic building in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Across the year, we’ll be honouring the theatre’s rich history but also looking confidently to the future – continuing our tradition of telling stories in bold new ways, pushing the boundaries of the theatre artform in ambitious fashion, and championing the power of live theatre to change lives in community settings.

Keep an eye on newvictheatre.org.uk to stay up-to-date with what’s happening as part of our 40th year and how you can join us to celebrate!

The Company of Wolves 2024

Welcome In 2026, the New Vic will celebrate its 40th anniversary. This extraordinary building first opened its doors in 1986, after the local community fundraised over £1million to open a new theatre in Newcastle-underLyme. Across the last 40 years this theatre has seen stories shared, ideas sparked and unforgettable moments created right here on our iconic in-the-round stage. Since the doors opened, this building has become far more than just bricks and mortar; it’s a home for creativity, community and connection - a place where countless memories have been made.

Every performance, every applause, every conversation in the foyer has shaped the soul of this place.

The first chapter of our 40th year will continue our proud tradition of bringing brilliant stories to the stage for you to enjoy, and will also pay tribute to the journey that’s brought us here. I’m so pleased to be able to welcome back Bob Eaton to direct Good Golly Miss Molly! – one of the most-loved productions from our early years, and to be able to reunite members of the original cast of Around The World In 80 Days for another trip around the globe – a show that you reference time and time again in conversations with members of our team as a much-loved production from our recent history. Alongside these, I’m delighted to welcome Director Joyce Branagh to Newcastle-under-Lyme for the first time, as we produce a new version of a reimagined classic in February – if you were a fan of our production of The 39 Steps, do join us for The Hound of The Baskervilles!

As much as this anniversary is about the architecture of the New Vic – the first

purpose-built theatre-in-the-round in the whole of Europe – it is a celebration of people too. A whole staff team of brilliant people form the heart of the New Vic - this theatre is the sum of their passion, artistry and imagination.

As we step into our 40th year, I want to thank you too - our audiences - for being such an essential part of our story. Your curiosity, enthusiasm, and love for live theatre are what keep this place alive. Whether you’ve been coming here since the very beginning or are joining us for the first time, you are part of this anniversary celebration.

Here’s to spring, to 40 years of theatre in this building, and to the countless stories still waiting to be told.

New Vic

It’s the ultimate Christmas night out for you and your mates!

Mon 1 – Sat 13 December Tickets from £22.00 See page 4 for details

When Eric sees his local Amateur Dramatic Society are looking for men to take part in their Christmas production, he realises they must have an excess of women. As ‘an excess of women’ is Eric’s idea of heaven he signs up. However, double-bookings of the rehearsal space, an overenthusiastic Producer who is also the Director, Writer and Star of the Show (who would do a thing like that??) and the arrival of Bev to spoil his fun are all just the start of a disastrous production.

Add to this 85-year old Miss Baskeyfield playing the juvenile female lead, four members of a pop group who don’t even want to be there and a sound man who appears to be doing his own show and things quickly go from bad to worse.

Will Eric save the day and get a festive 5 star review or will he be the reason the local papers rate the play a ‘turkey’?

Whatever happens, the show must go on…!

A fun-packed festive treat, Eric’s Christmas Turkey is filled with sensational ’60s songs, lots of laughs, dancing, and Christmas sparkle – it’s a perfect way to start your Christmas celebrations!

Tale Trail to The Little Mermaid will transport audiences to a magical underwater world where different colours, sounds and textures fill the room. With plenty of joining in, playful storytelling, and a sprinkle of festive theatre magic, our fully inclusive Tale Trail adventure is the perfect introduction to theatre for 3-5 year olds and their families.

Tue 3 – Sat 7 February Tickets from £15.00 See page 4 for details

It is the end of term and Godber’s hilarious comedy masterpiece has been reset for our post-Covid times. Bristling with teenage swagger and outlandish imagination, Salty, Gail and Hobby use their B.Tech Performance exam to showcase their work.

What follows is a funny, fast-moving, hard-hitting account of life at Whitewall Academy as they play staff, students and site premises managers, including the new drama teacher Ms Nixon who has helped get them into drama and changed their lives.

But as Salty, Gail and Hobby conclude their performance and leave state education, it appears that Miss Nixon is moving on too… to the local private school.

Written and directed by Bob Eaton

Sat 4 April – Sat 2 May Tickets from £15.00 See page 4 for details Audio Described Sat 2 May 2.15pm Captioned Tue 28 April 7.30pm

One of the biggest hits in New Vic history, Good Golly Miss Molly! is a powerful, music-fuelled, feel-good drama that bursts back onto the stage this spring as part of our 40th anniversary celebrations.

At the frontline of a community fighting for survival, their vibrant street faces demolition. But Molly Gordon and her band of neighbours are refusing to go quietly. Gathered together in the local workingmen’s club, Molly’s even managed to reunite her former rock ‘n’ roll band, Ronnie Devil and The Angels.

As the fate of their homes is decided, the residents of Victoria Street relive the community’s past, and the triumphs and tragedies of their daily lives.

But is there a future for their street?

Pulsing with energy, nostalgia and a foot-stomping soundtrack of rock ‘n’ roll hits from an era gone by, Good Golly Miss Molly! charts the history of one local community against a backdrop of social turmoil, societal changes and tumultuous friendships. A story of defiance, solidarity and unbreakable community spirit in the face of adversity, this feel-good show is as relevant as ever!

The Remarkable Ben Hart

Visiting Events

A brand-new mindbending theatrical experience

Mon 20 April 7.30pm An entirely unique voice in magic, Ben Hart (as seen on Britain’s Got Talent) brings together enthralling storytelling, sharp wit and indisputable charm, to create magic shows that are unforgettable, funny, dark and profoundly baffling.

In this brand-new show, witness a world-class master of illusion as he reads your mind, manipulates the fabric of existence, and bends logic to his will. With nothing but his hands, a few simple objects, and his newly discovered uncanny mental abilities, Ben will peer into your thoughts, control chance, and make the impossible happen before your eyes. Witness his original impossibilities live onstage - with no camera tricks and nowhere to hide.

Tickets £25.00 £21.00

Age Guidance: 12+

Is it magic? Is it psychology? Or has Ben Hart uncovered something far more remarkable?

One thing is certain - you will never see the world the same way again.

Lindisfarne Mon 27 April 7.30pm Legendary ‘70s Tyneside folk-rock pioneers Lindisfarne present a classic five-piece line-up of long-time members, fronted by foundermember Rod Clements on vocals, mandolin, fiddle and slide guitar.

With a repertoire of unforgettable songs like Meet Me On The Corner, Fog On The Tyne, Lady Eleanor and Run For Home and a reputation for live performance second to none, Lindisfarne’s power to galvanize festival and concert audiences remains undimmed and is guaranteed to get the crowd on their feet and singing along.

After moving to the U.S. and assimilating himself into the country music scene, Albert quickly garnered a reputation as one of the fastest guitar players in the business. He recorded a number of solo albums, and won a Grammy in 2002 for his contribution on Foggy Mountain Breakdown. He continues to tour today, and plays his signature Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar.
