The Queen Visits The Core
We were delighted to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to The Core in June for a specially commissioned performance. It featured local dancers led by Mickael Marso Riviére and physical theatre performers directed by Frantic Assembly’s Scott Graham. There was also music directed by James Redmond featuring members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a performance from the newly formed Community Choir directed by Gareth Fuller with lyrics from friend of The Core, Barb Jungr.
Get Involved at The Core...
Following a celebratory season with an international flavour, The Core’s new season has a real sense of ‘home’ about it. We are delighted to be creating and presenting work in venues around the town, including performances in community centres and a new professional dance piece at Corby East Midlands International Pool (p.8). In September we welcome Corby-born director Neil Bettles, as ThickSkin – who enjoyed such success in 2011 with Blackout – bring us their new production The Static (p.11) fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe. This is followed in October by the uplifting and joyous Agnes And Walter and Me, Mum And Dusty Springfield (both p.12). November sees us celebrate our second birthday with the premiere of Barb Jungr’s Deep Roots, Tall Trees: A Corby Song Cycle (p.16), while December brings two wonderfully different Christmas shows: the enchanting The Night Before Christmas (p. 20) for ages 3+ and Grisly Tales From Tumblewater for those a little older (p.21). We have high-profile comedy with The Best Of The Chortle Awards, Danny Bhoy, Mark Thomas and Fred MacAulay; music including The Bay City Rollers Story and Limehouse Lizzy; and a wide-ranging film programme.

Sat 20 October
Sat 20 October
Peppered with lyrics and songs from the iconic singer and directed by The Core’s Creative Director Chris Sudworth, Me, Mum And Dusty Springfield is Stephanie Ridings’ one-woman black comedy, which examines the bond between mothers and daughters and how we cope with loss when it’s just too late.
Agnes And Walter: A Little Love Story is a delightful flight of fancy that set the Edinburgh Festival Fringe alight with its poignant and compelling comic storytelling.
Travel to Kenya and follow in Handa’s footsteps as she journeys to see her best friend Akeyo, in the next village. Handa is taking seven delicious fruits as a surprise – but seven different animals have seven very different ideas... could you resist the sweet-smelling guava?
In 1974 the music of the Bay City Rollers became the soundtrack for a generation of teenagers and the face and voice of that soundtrack belonged to Les McKeown.
Mary is preparing to scatter her mother’s ashes. It’s not what she had in mind, but that’s down to her mother’s final demand, which, like everything else, is set within a world of Dusty Springfield. Can Mary unravel the ties that bind herself, her mother and Dusty Springfield, in the hope that this final act will enable her to move on? “A HEARTFELT PERFORMANCE” The Metro Time: 7.45pm Tickets: £10 Concessions: £8 Venue: The Lab 12

Hits such as Bye Bye Baby, Shang A Lang, Summer Love Sensation and Give A Little Love propelled the band to world-wide superstardom and their trademark Scottish tartan was to be seen everywhere across the planet.
