Welcome to our new season programme. There are so many reasons to come and visit us this Spring including theatre, film, music, comedy, opera, family shows, talks and workshops. The Marine turns producing house this year with a co-production with theatre company The Outbound Project, and an exciting commission of a brand new play Monmouth by our patron Andrew Rattenbury. Come and see a preview of the play this February before it is staged as our community play for 2017 in July. Plus, Lyme Youth Theatre takes to the stage for prestigious National Theatre Connections Festival in March. Thanks to the donation of top of the range cinema equipment we will be continuing to show films at the Marine this season as the Regent Cinema is being rebuilt. Finally we welcome Dottie Kitchen to the Marine who will be taking over our cafe and providing delicious hot, hearty and healthy food at many of our events.
