Lyceum Refurbishment

Please support us in raising funds to refurbish this beautiful theatre and improve your experience of visiting the Lyceum.

This year, the Lyceum Theatre will be refurbished in a £1.9 million project.

Having already secured £1.5 million towards the refurbishment (from Arts Council England and Sheffield City Council) we need to raise the remaining funds ourselves.

Plans for the refurbishment include: • Installing air conditioning in the auditorium • Refurbishing the Balcony seating • Moving the cloakroom to the ground floor, creating buggy parking and additional baby changing facilities • Adding ladies toilets • Installing new lighting and a sound system

In addition to these changes, there will be a number of improvements made backstage to equipment, some of which is over 20 years old, and to the building itself. These changes include installing new LED lights and solar energy panels, which will reduce our energy consumption and thereby our operating costs.

You can support the Lyceum Refurbishment by making a donation when you buy your tickets or through DONATE (the National Funding Scheme). Simply text LYCM001 to 70970 to give £5.00*.

Alternatively, contact our Fundraising Team on 0114 201 3820.

Please help us make our ambition a reality. *Your donation is to the National Funding Scheme (Registered Charity No 1149800). For full T&Cs, see www.don8.to

Brassed Off Adapted by Paul Allen Based on the Screenplay by Mark Herman

Wed 7 – Sat 10 May ‘John McArdle fully possesses the role’ ★★★★ The Guardian It is 1992. Grimley Colliery faces the threat of closure and the future of the brass band seems uncertain. With the miners torn between redundancy packages and the picket lines, band–leader Danny’s hopes of winning the national brass band competition seem like a distant dream. But the arrival of flugelhorn–playing Gloria brings hope, romance and controversy to the Yorkshire brass band on the brink of collapse.

Featuring rousing live music, Brassed Off is a funny and heart– warming drama that reaches stirring heights as Newstead Brass Band performs the final scene, set in the Royal Albert Hall, live on the stage of the Lyceum Theatre.

The National Theatre production

One Man, Two Guvnors Wed 14 – Sat 24 May ‘The funniest show on the planet’ ★★★★★ Daily Mail The National Theatre’s award–winning comedy One Man, Two Guvnors, embarks on its biggest ever tour of the UK and Ireland.

Now seen by over one million people worldwide, this internationally acclaimed smash-hit is a glorious celebration of British comedy - a unique, laugh-out-loud mix of satire, songs, slapstick and glittering one-liners.

Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother - who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a job with one Stanley Stubbers - but to prevent discovery, he must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.

‘One Man, Two Guvnors, one massive hit’ ★★★★★ Independent ‘Comic perfection. What are you waiting for? Book now!’ ★★★★★ Daily Telegraph

Dawn French in 30 Million Minutes

Thu 5 - Sun 8 June 8.00pm 30 Million Minutes will consist of various delights and riches, with the odd irksome tribulation thrown in, as Dawn takes audiences through the various lessons life has taught her, and the things she knows for sure.

It’s also worth coming if only to finally witness what size she actually is. Can we believe the stolen images of so many women’s magazines?

What is the truth? Is she so unfeasibly large that she can hardly live? Or does she sleep in a matchbox? Marvel at how one woman can mercilessly murder so much chocolate, and yet remain so curiously slim…

As a big fat liar once said of her ‘Her singular attempt to be ordinary fails miserably.’

Catch the show. Or feel like a fool.

I Wish I Was Lonely Sat 31 May 4.00pm & 8.00pm I Wish I Was Lonely is an interactive show about contactability. A show in which the audience commit to leaving their phones on.

I Wish I Was Lonely is the new show from Fringe First winners Hannah Jane Walker and Chris Thorpe (The Oh F**k Moment) that asks how much of ourselves we’ve given up to the new Gods in our pockets.

‘Documentary theatre with a big heart’ ★★★★ The Independent ‘Strikes at the essence of human existence’ ★★★★ Three Weeks Studio Theatre £12.00 Concessions £2.00 off

Wed 4 – Sat 7 June After he retired, my Granddad went on a trip from the Midlands up to Cape Wrath, the most north–westerly point of his native Scotland. He sat, looked at the sea, and thought about his life. Then he got up and went home. Over 20 years later, I got on a coach and followed in his footsteps. This is what I learned.

Following a sell-out run at 2013’s Edinburgh Fringe, Third Angel presents a story of family, of fellow travellers, of whisky and chocolate, of the longest bus journey in Britain, told to a small audience inside a stationary minibus. ‘charming, totally involving show…a must–see.’

Krapp’s Last Tape

By Samuel Beckett Wed 25 June – Sat 19 July A late evening in the future. Worn out, half-drunk and lonely, Krapp sits down to celebrate his 69th birthday.

His only companion is an unconventional one: the voice of his 39 year-old self.

Sifting through the recorded memories of his life, Krapp re-visits the ghosts of his past. Reflecting on what was, what might have been and what he has now become, he prepares to make his final recording.

A study in squalor, isolation and regret, Beckett’s masterpiece is performed by award-winning actor and associate director of Sheffield Theatres, Richard Wilson.

Polly Findlay (A Taste of Honey) directs.

by Jane Austen adapted by Willis Hall Directed by Valerie Mills

Tue 22 – Sat 26 July Following previous success (Carrie’s War, Anne of Green Gables and Treasure Island), Denys Edwards Players return to the Crucible Studio to celebrate the 200th anniversary of this classic story.

Mansfield Park is a magnificent, idyllic estate which is home to the wealthy Bertram family and where Fanny Price, the story’s heroine and a ‘poor relation’ is living so that she can be properly brought up.

However, with five eligible young people on the premises, the peace at Mansfield cannot last.

Brassed Off: Deborah Paige and Paul Allen in Conversation

The National Theatre Story with Daniel Rosenthal

Sat 10 May 1.00pm

The last year has been a watershed in the life of the National Theatre: a chance to celebrate 50 years of NT history but also to anticipate the next chapter in the story, as Rufus Norris was unveiled as Nicholas Hytner’s successor as the National’s Director.

In March 1998, the world-stage premiére of Brassed Off was a smash-hit in Sheffield before transferring to the Royal National Theatre.

Adapted from Mark Herman’s screenplay

by Paul Allen and commissioned and directed by then Artistic Director of Sheffield Theatres Deborah Paige, Brassed Off captured a South Yorkshire mining community facing the destruction of their industry and the aftermath of the miners’ strike. Join Paul Allen and Deborah Paige in conversation to discover how this rousing story of community spirit and triumph against adversity made the journey from screen to the Crucible stage.

This is an exclusive Fundraising event for Sheffield Theatres’ Prestige Club members.

Adelphi Room, Crucible Theatre £10.00 Find out more about what benefits a Centre Stage Membership can offer you at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk or call our Box Office on 0114 249 6000.

Sat 24 May 1.00pm

The National Theatre Story is the definitive account of this iconic institution. Theatre historian and broadcaster Daniel Rosenthal has enjoyed unrestricted access to the National Theatre’s archives, as well as over 100 new interviews with the likes of Alan Bennett, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, and all four of Laurence Olivier’s successors as NT Director: Peter Hall, Richard Eyre, Trevor Nunn and Nicholas Hytner.

Join us for an illuminating discussion covering half a century of drama, both on and off-stage.

Copies of the book will be available to purchase.

This is a Fundraising event for Sheffield Theatres.

★★★★★ The Sunday Express

A musical comedy by Tim Firth ‘sweet as a nut, funny, truthful, glorying in grumpy family love’ The Times Fresh from the pen of Tim Firth – the man behind Calendar Girls – this hilarious, award-winning musical comedy takes to the Lyceum stage following its sell-out run in the Studio Theatre last year.

‘…the audience loved it – uttering whoops of wonder and cheers of delight.’
