Welcome to our Autumn Season
A vibrant, touching, and timely story about love, statelessness, and above all the human capacity to endure. Brought to you from the innovative company behind Invisible, 1001 Nights, Elegy and Europe.
A fantastical tale of love in exile. Critically acclaimed Transport reinvents this popular favourite among Shakespeare’s comedies. Rosalind, the daughter of an exiled leader, falls in love with Orlando. Separately the two are banished from their homeland by Rosalind’s dictator uncle. In the wild depths of the forest they find unexpected freedom and are reunited with friends and family.
An utter treat The Telegraph on 1001 Nights Essential viewing Time Out on Elegy Powerful…smart and smartly acted The Guardian on Invisible

Trapped in a mundane existence and struggling to sustain his family, the daydreamer Kenneth Grahame longed to write wild adventure tales, and pursue his love of nature and literature. Then one day a stranger tried to put a bullet through his head, and Grahame was never the same again...
Following sell-out performances this Spring, UK Touring Theatre continue their highly acclaimed national tour of Strindberg’s classic play – a tale of lust, class conflict and boundaries broken. Midsummer’s Eve, Sweden, 1888. While the servants’ party continues in the barn outside, aristocratic Miss Julie is drawn to the kitchen and to the socially ambitious Jean, her father’s valet. What starts as a harmless flirtation, soon descends into a ferocious power struggle and battle of the sexes, from which neither can escape.
Keith Jack was a runner up on BBC’s Any Dream Will Do and has since been seen by over 2 million people on tour, playing the lead in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He has also been seen in the new musical Only The Brave and his solo album, Keith Jack – This Time, was a UK Chart Top 40 success.

The Shakespeare Schools Festival works with 1000 secondary, primary and special schools all over the UK, making it possible for them to stage abridged Shakespeare productions in their local professional theatre.
In Zachary’s class, everyone is interesting – except Zachary. His hair sits quite fine. His teeth are aligned. His lines are expected, and his specs nonexistent. So Zachary grumps (as Zachary does) and shouts against his normalness.
Each night four schools will perform four different Shakespeare plays. Come along and celebrate the achievements of your local schools in a wonderful evening of entertainment.
To which his mum replies: ‘But that is just normal for here’. And she reminds him of all the other places – filled with giants, and miniatures, and hairy things, and flying things – places where Zachary would not be normal at all. And so he sets out… to stand out.
The scene of the crime is a slow train to Berlin. It is where young Emil, travelling alone, falls asleep and is robbed of all his money. The chief suspect is the man in the bowler hat, but how to catch the thief? It calls for quick wits, a cool head and some clever detective work. So begins the great adventure. Join Emil as he teams up with a gang of young sleuths who lead a hair raising chase across Berlin to catch a dirty rotten thief.
Quarterhouse is delighted to welcome the UK’s largest Youth Drama Festival to our stage on October 17th.
Join PoetryJoe, star of CBeebie’s Rhyme Rocket, performer, writer and – of course! – poet, in his light-up, pop-up world of fabulous foods, beastly bugs and peculiar pets. Armed with his trusty overhead projector and the props, pop-ups and pictures of John O’Leary, PoetryJoe introduces children and their families to lots of new friends, including a naughty but nice hamster, a cheating cheetah, and a whole family made out of paper and light. The PoetryJoe Show is a fun-packed, interactive family show suitable for 3 years and up, incorporating elements of magic lantern, shadow puppetry and live poetry. Take part in the fun and learn how to make your very own poems that glow.
Every child in every school ought to have the chance to experience this magical process Philip Pullman, SSF patron The audience reaction to our Macbeth was wonderful. Our narrator, Ben, even told me that it was the best experience of his life – you can’t really get much better than that! Primary School Teacher
“I really enjoyed joining in with the poems I will definitely tell friends.” ”Brilliant, my 4 year old loved it!”
Climb aboard this madcap pursuit through the streets of 1930’s Berlin, a classic adventure that is a fun-packed thriller with bags of energy.
Grumpy 7 year-old Zachary is fed up with feeling average and journeys into a surreal and entrancing world to discover what makes him special. A host of hilarious characters combine with international award-winning writer Finegan Kruckemeyer’s trademark sharp dialogue in this unique twist on an adventure tale.
Emil is a wonder... Read it and you will be happy Maurice Sendak
Alternately hilarious and deeply moving, audiences both young and old will love joining the furious Zachary in his desperate quest to discover difference.

Dave Kelly – his guitar and voice – great talent, great depth, and a real sense of his roots Time Out
One of the great bands to emerge from the late ’70s, Nine Below Zero deliver a rip-roaring blend of blues and R&B. Now in their 36th year, they are just as vibrant and unpredictably brilliant as ever and remain one of the most popular live bands in the UK.
Focus
From The Jam
With their unique progressive rock, Focus manifested themselves at the start of the 70s as the most successful and appreciated of all the Dutch rock exports. After an initial comeback with the well received album “Focus 8”, the band are now back with a fantastic line-up!
These are the words of The Pigeon Detectives singer Matt Bowman, speaking as his band have just completed the recording of their fourth album, ‘We Met At Sea’. Now they are set to embark on a UK tour and will be returning to Folkestone this November. You might remember them playing last year which became one of our best, and sweatiest gigs ever.
“We’re a live band. That’s where we cut our teeth, that’s where we’re most comfortable, that’s where we have the most fun. That’s where we made our name.”
This is a show not to be missed and is sure to be a highlight of our Autumn calendar. 11

Trevor Noah
Friday 6 December, 8pm Tickets £12 / £10 concessions
Saturday 14 December, 8pm Tickets £15
Comedy’s fastest rising star Seann Walsh is returning with an all-new act to show the world that he is the Lie-in King!
Fresh from a record-breaking season of shows at London’s Soho Theatre and a critically acclaimed total sell-out season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, South African comedian, Trevor Noah is proud to present his critically acclaimed show, The Racist, on a ground-breaking tour of the UK.
The Lie-In King
The Racist
Star of Channel 4’s ‘Stand Up For The Week’, BBC1’s ‘Live At The Apollo’ and Dave’s ‘Argumental’, Seann is a charming and charismatic natural born observational storyteller, and one of the most frighteningly precocious talents to emerge from the UK comedy circuit in years.
Trevor has been performing for a little over five years but his explosion onto the South African entertainment scene has been nothing short of meteoric, taking on TV, radio and his first love, stand up comedy, which he has performed on both local and international stages. His sharp wit, intelligent commentary, unmistakable charm and clinical delivery have established him as an extremely popular performer with undoubted world-class potential.
Walsh is well on his way to becoming a star attraction The Independent See him now, before the stadium tour Sunday Times Slick, funny observational comedy **** Chortle.co.uk
Noah is an immensely likeable performer – warm, upbeat, with an inquiring, irreverent approach to other people’s prejudices… we can expect to see a lot more of him over here. Observer
With support from Romesh Ranganathan – this year’s winner of Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year award at Dave’s Leicester Comedy Festival.

1 October Amour
A chance to see Haneke’s Oscar-winning film about a couple in their 80s whose love is tested when one faces death. Moving performances and a very human subject matter mix with the director’s trademark chills and emotional depth in one of the best films of last year.
15 October The Place Beyond the Pines
(15) Derek Cianfrance
Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper star as two fathers whose relationships with their sons are intertwined as they face the consequences of their own actions. A tale of masculinity, fatherhood and loss in Gosling and director Derek Cianfrance’s first film together since Blue Valentine.
29 October The Look of Love
(18) Michael Winterbottom
Steve Coogan delivers an accomplished performance in Michael Winterbottom’s film about the controversial porn entrepreneur Paul Raymond. Littered with cameos and as funny as it is revealing, this is an entertaining British film about London’s erotic heart.
(12A) Jeff Nichols
12 November Mud
One of America’s most promising young directors delivers a critically acclaimed film about two teenage boys who encounter a fugitive in this Mark Twainesque coming-of-age story. The landscape of the Deep South is stunningly captured alongside impeccable cast performances.
26 November Behind the Candelabra
(15) Steven Soderbergh
Steven Soderbergh’s comic but touching depiction of Liberace’s relationship with his young male lover stars Michael Douglas and Matt Damon. Camp, kitsch and funny, but also revealing the dependence and denial that shadowed the musician’s life, this film delivers on all counts.
