Proud to be Regional Theatre of the Year 2013 & 2014

Welcome We’re delighted to share our new season with you.

We’re thrilled that following its £1.9million refurbishment, the Lyceum Theatre is now open and will play host to a huge array of the most exciting touring productions.

We’d like to thank you, our audience, for donating generously to the project and helping us realise our ambitions.

As for our home-grown productions, we recently pledged to significantly increase the number of women working on our productions, both on stage and behind the scenes as part of the Advance programme. We’re proud that our new season reflects this commitment and our writer’s season will celebrate the work of a great English female playwright – Sarah Kane.

There’s so much on offer this season that we can’t wait to get started and look forward to welcoming you to the theatre soon.

Lyceum Theatre

Blood Brothers

Mon – Thu 7.45pm £21.00 £22.00 £25.00 £26.00 £29.00 Concessions £2.50 off Group and School discounts apply

Tue 13 – Sat 24 January Written by Willy Russell, the legendary Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with fateful consequences. The superb score includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True.

Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi award-winning Blood Brothers. Bill Kenwright’s production surpassed 10,000 performances in London’s West End, one of only three musicals ever to achieve that milestone. It has been affectionately christened the Standing Ovation Musical, as inevitably it ‘brings the audience cheering to its feet and roaring its approval’ Daily Mail.

Beckie Darlington presents Gate Theatre’s production of

Grounded

By George Brant

Wed 21 – Sat 24 January She’s a hot-rod F16 fighter pilot. She’s pregnant. Her career in the sky is over. Now, she sits in an air-conditioned trailer in Las Vegas flying remote-controlled drones over the Middle East. She struggles through surreal 12-hour shifts far from the battlefield, hunting terrorists by day and being a wife and mother by night.

Grounded is a gripping, compulsive new play that flies from the heights of lyricism to the shallows of workaday existence. This extraordinary play targets our assumptions about war, family, and what it is to be a woman.

Sheffield Theatres presents

I had the great privilege of knowing Sarah Kane.

I got to act in two world premières of her plays.

In fact, I actually got to act alongside her when she stepped in at the last moment to take over from the leading lady, who had injured her spine late on in the run. I remember how ‘real’ Sarah’s acting was. She made our acting look fake and theatrical.

Looking back at her brief career fifteen years after her death, I realise that her acting was characteristic of what I remember most about her as a person and as a writer. She was a truthseeker. She believed passionately that there wasn’t anything that couldn’t be represented in the theatre, however beautiful or cruel. If something existed, then it could (and should) be portrayed and discussed. She is undoubtedly one of the most courageous people I’ve known and I’m delighted to be presenting a season of her work here in Sheffield.

In her own way, Sarah Kane’s writing changed the face of British Theatre. Much has been said and written about her death, but it’s important to say that Sarah had a wonderful, dark sense of humour - and a huge heart. Her plays are full of tenderness and a yearning for love. During our season, there’ll be an opportunity to see her complete works - in full productions, in semi-staged readings and also on film.

I hope you’ll join us.

By Sarah Kane

Wed 4 – Sat 21 February

Fri 6 - Sat 21 March

Leeds. An expensive hotel room.

In an unknown city, four unnamed voices begin a poetic ode to love. A one act epic, Crave mines the darkest depths of desire and what it means to love and be loved.

A middle-aged man attempts to seduce a young woman. Suddenly, there is a knock on the door and their world turns upside down.

What happens next pushes us beyond the edge of our darkest imaginings, smashes through our comfortable reality and demands that we question our own morality and humanity.

First performed twenty years ago, Blasted’s power remains.

Age guidance 15+ The play contains strong language and scenes of a sexual and violent nature.

With Reece Dinsdale (Coronation Street) It’s now or never for George Jones. The charismatic leader of the Labour Party needs to get out of opposition and into Number Ten. Plagued by a hostile media, beset by divisions in his party and haunted by his own demons, George has three weeks to convince the Great British Public that he’s their man. But how much compromise is he prepared to make? How can you truly appeal to the man in the street from the House of Commons?

And which tie should he wear for Prime Minister’s Questions?

An Academy Award-winning writer, David Hare’s funny, stinging political drama is directed by Jeremy Herrin, Artistic Director of Headlong, whose recent work includes Wolf Hall/Bring Up The Bodies (RSC), The Nether (Headlong/Royal Court/West End) and This House (National Theatre).

Josie Long: Cara Josephine

Tue 24 February 8.00pm Versatile singer/organist, John Shuttleworth, has a dilemma: he wanted to tell the audience all about his most memorable weekends in his exciting new show – A Weekend to Remember. But next-door neighbour and sole agent Ken Worthington has thwarted John’s plans, by cocking up the artwork of the show’s poster. ‘Weekend’ has become ‘Wee Ken’ and now John is duty-bound to perform a celebration of the diminutive impresario’s life.

Musical interludes performed as ever on John’s Yamaha organ include old favourites like Two Margarines and I Can’t Go Back To Savoury Now, nestled alongside newer ditties Visiting Time, Midweek and the rock’n’roll footstomper, Early Tea.

Thu 26 February 8.00pm A comedy of betrayal.

Following his award-winning show Bravo Figaro, Mark Thomas tells his true story of how Britain’s biggest arms manufacturer (BAE Systems) came to spy on a comedian.

A tale of hubris, planes, demos and undercover deceit.

Ten years ago an activist and close friend of Mark’s was exposed as a spy for BAE Systems infiltrating the movement. Now, Mark wants to find him and has some questions to ask. This is a true story. The show picks up from where the award-winning Bravo Figaro left off in style using interviews from friends, colleagues, activists and journalists to examine the impact of betrayal.

Playing for Time

By Arthur Miller Based on the memoir by Fania Fénelon Thu 12 March – Sat 4 April Fania Fénelon: Musical maestra. Celebrity singer. Star of the Paris cabaret. Jew. Arrested by the Nazis and transported east to Auschwitz, Fania’s tragic fate seems sealed. But amidst the horrors of the death camp, there is one small glimmer of hope: an orchestra of women prisoners kept alive to make music for their Nazi captors. Can Fania sing for her survival?

Based upon Fania Fénelon’s autobiographical memoir, Arthur Miller’s masterful stage adaptation is a life-affirming story of the survival of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror.

Marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the Centenary of Arthur Miller’s birth, Sheffield Theatres brings this extraordinary story to life on the Crucible stage.

Penelope RETOLD

La bohème

The Siege of Calais

Written and performed by Caroline Horton Directed by Lucy Doherty

By Giacomo Puccini

By Gaetano Donizetti

Mon 30 March 7.45pm

Tue 31 March 7.45pm

A group of struggling artists discover love and loss in this evening of heart-rending emotions, laughs and tears set in 19th Century Paris.

The Siege of Calais (L’assedio di Calais) enjoyed its first ever UK professional tour as part of ETO’s spring 2013 season, and was acclaimed as one of the company’s greatest achievements. Constructed of bel canto arias and ensembles of extraordinary quality, it tells the story of the citizens of Calais who offer up their lives to save their city from the besieging English army. Proud, fierce, exhilarating – this is history on stage, with thrilling music.

Mon 30 March 7.45pm Welcome to Ithaca: island paradise and home to Penelope.

She’s married to a world famous war hero and she’s had enough of waiting quietly.

Made with input from soldiers and military spouses, Penelope RETOLD is an irreverent collision of classic myth, The Odyssey, and contemporary rage. Get ready for a theatrical storm that sweeps through poetry, songs, comedy and YouTube clips towards a poignant and furious conclusion. Olivier Award nominee and Stage Best Solo Performer, Caroline Horton, presents an epic, heartbreaking and fiercely playful tale of love, loneliness and the need to be free.

Suitable for all audiences aged 13+

La bohème is a story of young love, starting on Christmas Eve in a Parisian garret. On this festive, snowy night the lovers draw close, but poverty and ill-health force them apart. Their story is told in the most memorable music, from Che gelida manina to the shattering brass chords announcing Mimi’s death. ETO’s new production promises to break every heart and breathe joy into the spirit of everyone who has ever wanted love.

New production, sung in Italian with English surtitles.

Revival, sung in Italian with English surtitles.

Jesus Christ Superstar

Lyceum Theatre

Mon 20 April – Sat 2 May Jesus Christ Superstar exploded onto the musical scene in 1971, stunning audiences and changing the face of musical theatre forever. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock opera tells the story of the last seven days in the life of Jesus through an extraordinary, groundbreaking score. As compelling today as it was at its inception over forty years ago, Jesus Christ Superstar has some of musical theatre’s most legendary songs from I Don’t Know How to Love Him, Everything’s Alright, and Gethsemane through to, of course, Superstar.

Produced by Bill Kenwright and the creative team behind numerous blockbuster musicals, Jesus Christ Superstar tells the world’s oldest story with the superb theatricality they have brought to Evita, Joseph, Cabaret, Blood Brothers and Whistle Down the Wind to mention only a few.
