WELCOME TO

THE FISHER THEATRE At last we reach that very special high-point in this year's calendar, the Fisher Theatre’s 10th Anniversary, with things in store that will certainly be most entertaining and memorable, and even more so if you join in some of the participatory events.

The Fisher Theatre means so much to me, apart from becoming a second home, it has rekindled and housed my love of theatre for the past 10 years, bringing successes and many unforgettable experiences. When you spend so much time in a building like this, you can’t help but become affectionate towards it and proud of how this old, well-used space serves its community, adapting to whatever we throw at it.

Over birthday-tide we have two theatrical pieces, one on the theme of ‘Birthday’ when our method of arrival into the world is drastically changed, and the other on David Fisher and a ‘Slytly Hystorical’ version of events he may have experienced. We hope you might be tempted to join in the Georgian events to highlight the theatre’s origins and get a taste for what Georgians liked by displaying a 21st century curiosity at our exhibition, gambling at cards at the Fancy or by entering your own handmade cockerel in our mock cockfight that night.

A special murder mystery vintage tea will be delicious but thrilling and the cabaret night is the party to celebrate what a wonderful place of entertainment we have to share.

Congratulations The Fisher Theatre!

When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbours in the aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, the story of her tempestuous affair with a former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her marriage to a High Court judge begins to emerge. With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and longrepressed passion. Behind the fragile veneer of post-war civility burns a brutal sense of loss and longing. Helen McCrory (Medea and The Last of the Haussmans at the National Theatre, Penny Dreadful, Peaky Blinders) returns to the National Theatre in Terence Rattigan’s devastating masterpiece, playing one of the greatest female roles in contemporary drama.

Tour & Tea by Local Historian Chris Reeve Wednesday 21st September, 2.40pm, tea at 4pm • £12. Groups limited to 25.

Local Historian Chris Reeve will guide you around the fascinating history of The Fisher Theatre, from the outside in. This Georgian Theatre was sibling to 12 others, scattered around prime spots in East Anglia, at the height of the Georgian theatrical age when theatre was the most popular entertainment around, second only to gambling.

Bungay’s was the last theatre built, as there was already a theatre in the castle grounds, and so she missed a long history of performances, but is certainly making-up for it now. After your tour and film you will be treated to a lovely tea and cakes in our gallery prepared by our wonderful team of cooks.

GALLERY EXHIBITIONS

Artists: Jacqueline Croft

Artists: Alasdair Horner

Artists: Liz Taunt

Title: Walks on the Common Opening & Private View: 13 August Ends: 10 Sept

Title: Furriner Opening & Private View: 11 Sept Ends: 7 October

Title: A Bungay Breakfast Opening & Private View: 8 October Ends: 4 Nov

I have lived in this area for most of my life. I love the big skies and the play of light on the water. Many of my paintings are in response to walks I have taken in the Waveney Valley and the surrounding countryside.

Alasdair has been a keen photographer for many years doing his own film processing in the 1990’s and an early convert to the potential of digital photography. He has been a world traveller for decades, living abroad for a number of years, taking inspiration from the diverse landscapes and people.“Furriner” or foreigner in the Norfolk dialect, reflects his situation as a neophyte to Norfolk and as an influence on his work.

These monoprints by Liz Taunt are not representational. However, some of the vertical and horizontal planes and lines may suggest urban or rural landscapes.

They are made by playing with the conventional elements of abstraction: colour, tone, texture, line and form. It is an enjoyable process in which the first arbitrary mark prompts a responding mark, which leads to the next one, and so on.

Artists: Ceci & Bee Eno Artists: Alix Leah Alix Leah 1981- 2008 Title: A Celebration Opening & Private View: 6 November Ends: 2 Dec Alix Leah grew up in Bungay, Suffolk and studied Textiles at City College, Norwich and Goldsmiths, University of London.

This memorial exhibition presents some of Alix's core artworks, alongside those of her friends and family. It is a celebration of her life, her inquisitive mind and the extraordinary power of friendship and community.

Title: Relative Details Opening & Private View: 4 December Ends: 2 Jan Ceci Eno - Having recently graduated from the Marine and Natural History Photography degree course at Falmouth University, Cecily Eno lives and works in Cornwall. She creates mixed-media pieces which often draw inspiration from organic forms and the interplay - and often blurred distinction - between the man-made and natural worlds.

Bee Eno is a designer-maker living and working in Bungay. Working in a wide range of media, from fashion and interiors textiles, to knitwear, sugar craft to scenery painting and prop making. She graduated from UCS Lowestoft in 2011 with a BA in Design Craft, and is currently studying for a Masters in Fashion at Norwich University of the Arts. the work for this exhibition is inspired by her close observation of the details of things around, particularly natural forms, applied to the details of dress and historic costume.

The largest room within the Theatre offers a maximum seating capacity of 160 and an impressive 240 when all guests/delegates are standing with minimal seating on offer.

Unusual for an auditorium are the windows in the roof that flood the space with natural light. These can be blacked out if not required. Added to which are theatre lights that are able to create added atmosphere to enhance any event from the formality of a conference to an evening party.

The floor consists of 60 individual floor panels that can be raised or lowered, to six different heights, allowing you to choose the size of the main stage, seated area, center stage or even a catwalk.

The technical side of the auditorium is controlled from a box above the auditorium at the back, accessed via the gallery.
