YOUR ON-GOING SUPPORT IS VITAL The Brewery is a charity that is 90% self funded – so your support and donations are vital to the day to day running of the Brewery:

•

£100 would help towards staging a school show

@ BACkendal

•

£500 can contribute to vital stage equipment.

£1 or £10,000 – it all helps. There are lots of ways you can support us and donate. For details see: www.breweryarts.co.uk/support-us

Then it’s a virtual journey to the Royal Opera House for screenings of the festive ballets Cinderella (4 Dec) and The Nutcracker (12 Dec) – see page 15 for details of both shows.

If you are reading this, chances are you have already enjoyed the luxurious new seats we have installed in the theatre! The refurb was paid for out of the £80,000 we raised through our ‘Fit for 40’ campaign and we will soon use the rest of the money to further improve the Brewery buildings and upgrade our technical equipment. The campaign was a tremendous success and these renovations would not have been possible without YOUR continued support!

Thank you!

Paines Plough

Monkey Bars From the mouths of babes… into the bodies of actors!

Award-winning writer Chris Goode asked forty, eight-to ten-year-olds to talk about their lives. About being scared, getting lost, being brave, growing up. About the adult world that surrounds and awaits them. About family and faith and whether Haribo fried eggs really are the best sweet.

In this extraordinary verbatim theatre show, their words are spoken by adults – playing adults in adult situations.

Royal Flush Written by Hull Truck associate director Nick Lane, Royal Flush is an hilarious show in two parts. The first half examines inventor Thomas Crapper’s quest to put Queen Victoria quite literally ‘on the throne’ before flushing forward to 2012 to follow a desperate plumber’s attempts to get the lavvies working in old folk’s home on the eve of a Diamond Jubilee Royal Visit Theatre 8pm | £12 All Tickets Supported by

Twelve Miles From Nowhere Stunning new play – cowritten by Kevin Dyer – about rural life on the edge set against a gritty Northern backdrop. Cutting edge production centred on a remote farm, Twelve Miles from Nowhere is a compelling story of what happens when a vulnerable, isolated family let a charming and charismatic young stranger into their lives. First UK date.

Theatre 8pm | £12 all tickets

14+ years recommended.

Jumpers For Goalposts Paines Plough are regarded as the National Theatre for new writing. Set in the changing room used by a hapless team of friends who play five-a-side football in the Gay and Lesbian Sunday League, what unfolds is an hilarious comedy about football, friendship and finding your way in the world.

From Hull Truck writer in residence Tom Wells. John Godber’s Up ‘n’ Under for the 21st century.

Betrayal is regarded as a masterpiece by legendary playwright Harold Pinter.
