A show about birth, in all its bloody glory.

Michael Rosen’s awardwinning book We’re Going On A Bear Hunt is brought vividly and noisily to the stage in director Sally Cookson’s fun-filled adaptation set to Benji Bower’s versatile lively score.

Birth. It’s the most natural thing in the world… isn’t it? So how have we managed to make it quite so complicated?

Partus explores those ridiculous, terrifying, exhilarating moments when new people enter this world.

Based on conversations with mothers, fathers, midwives and obstetricians, this partly verbatim show examines one of the most familiar yet mysterious aspects of humanity. ‘a company engaging with the big issues about how we live with a fierce intelligence’ The Guardian Studio Theatre Fri 7.45pm £9.00 Sat – Wed 7.45pm £14.00 Concessions £2.50 off Sat 2.00pm £9.00 Under 2s free Tue 10.30am £5.00 Under 2s free

‘When King Colin sets his sights on finding the famous Golden Sausage, there’s only ONE person for the job: Sir Scallywag!’

‘What gets me through is knowing I took this pain, and saved all of you from suffering the same.’

3 May 1979, South Wales.

Thatcher is counting her votes, Sid Vicious is spinning in his grave and six Welsh miners are trapped down a coal mine.

Winner of Time Out’s Critics’ Choice and Fringe Show of the Year 2013, Chris Urch’s critically acclaimed debut play is packed full of blistering comedy and echoes a generation of lost voices. ‘blisteringly good’ Time Out ‘breathtaking’ The Public Reviews Studio Theatre £15.00 Concessions £2.00 off For more information on concessions see page 51

Effie’s life spirals through a mess of drink, drugs and drama every night, and a hangover worse than death the next day - till one night gives her the chance to be something more.

Inspired by the enduring Greek myth, Gary Owen’s powerful drama drives home the high price people pay for society’s shortcomings. Effie will break your heart.

The Government Inspector is part of Ramps On The Moon: a ground-breaking touring project that signals a step change in disability arts provision in the UK. Bringing together seven major theatre companies, including Sheffield Theatres, it will change the way theatre made by and for D/deaf and disabled people is seen. These companies are committed to putting D/deaf and disabled artists and audiences at the centre of their work; to accelerate positive change, and stimulate awareness of disability issues within arts and culture.

The Government Inspector

Fri 17 – Sat 25 June ‘It’s not good, gentlemen. That’s why I’ve gathered you all here. An Inspector is coming…a Government Inspector!’

Group discounts apply Tue – Thu eves For more information on concessions see page 51

The Mayor is in a cold sweat. News has reached him of an imminent visit from a Government Inspector.

His fear is well-founded as he has been somewhat lacking in his official duties. The hospital’s a health hazard, the school’s a war zone, the soldiers don’t have trousers to march in and he never quite got around to building that church!

Surely the only possible solution is bribery; it seems to have resolved many a sticky situation for the Mayor and his team in the past! But a simple case of mistaken identity leads matters to spiral hysterically out of control. Could it be that they have met their match in the complicated business of deception?

Gogol’s satirical masterpiece is a hilarious riot of corruption, lies and greed that has lost none of its original bite.

‘Kiss me tonight. Anything else can wait ‘til morning.’

Midsummer’s Eve. Music thuds from the city below. Drink flows, songs are sung, vows are made. In the hospital on the hill the staff stand by to stitch up, heal wounds and pick up the pieces.

As the bard said, the course of true love always did get messy around closing time.

A modern-day mash-up of Shakespearean romance by Chris Bush (The Sheffield Mysteries), performed by a hundred members of the Sheffield People’s Theatre (20 Tiny Plays about Sheffield, Camelot: The Shining City).
