BASED ON THE NOVEL BY GEORGE ORWELL ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY IAN WOOLDRIDGE DIRECTED BY IQBAL KHAN A powerful re-telling of George Orwell’s chilling and timeless classic.

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master and take over, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality for all. However, over time a cunning and brutal elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, gradually take control.

Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they once thought and find themselves ensnared as one tyranny is replaced with another.

Orwell’s enduring and devastating satire about the corruption of power will be brought vividly to life on stage in this compelling drama.

HULL TRUCK THEATRE & HULL MARITIME PRESENT A COMMUNITY PRODUCTION OF

GUTS! THE MUSICAL

THE STORY OF THE HULL FISH PACKERS

BY MAUREEN LENNON DIRECTED BY TOM SAUNDERS The year is 1984.

15 women in a fish packing factory in Hull are about to make history...

In the decade that brought us the Walkman, MTV, chicken nuggets and shoulder pads, something else was brewing: A revolution about equal pay.

Following Union Rep Peter Allen on his fight for factory workers, this is a whirlwind re-telling of the groundbreaking case which changed the equalities act in the UK forever.

Demanding equal pay for equal work, should be easy, right?

Wrong!

This story is an important part of our city’s rich maritime history, which goes way beyond the Headscarf Revolutionaries.

An upbeat and uplifting tale about justice, the power of female friendship and... fish... with a whole load of hilarity and musical joy thrown in for good measure.

Join us as the whole community come together to present this highly entertaining farcical drama which is based on a true story.

Made in Dagenham meets Barbie (The Movie).

OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR

BY THEATRE WORKSHOP, CHARLES CHILTON, GERRY RAFFLES AND MEMBERS OF THE ORIGINAL CAST

Roll up, Roll up! And take your seat for the ever-popular ‘War Game’!

A cornerstone of modern musical theatre and one of the very greatest stage satires, Oh What A Lovely War is an extraordinary theatrical journey bringing to life the folly, farce and tragedy of the First World War. Wildly satirical, visually stunning and deeply moving, it’s the musical that revolutionised modern theatre; an exhilarating, no-holdsbarred assault on the military incompetence and inconceivable disregard for human life the First World War has come to represent.

Packed with timeless songs, razor-sharp satire and high jinks, Oh What A Lovely War is a hilarious, heart-breaking snapshot of life for those caught in the crossfire of conflict, a unanimous voice from the trenches and a timely warning from the theatre of war itself.

Now, more than ever, it holds a mirror up to the world and speaks to us all.

When Romeo meets Juliet, the world around them melts away. But then reality kicks in; their families are enemies, and they will never be allowed to stay together. With the world against them, they hatch a plan to escape the lives they were born into. But fate has other ideas.

This 90-minute version of Romeo and Juliet uses an edited version of the original language to create the perfect first introduction for young people aged 7-13 and their families.
