New Productions Spring Summer 2011
On 8 March 1990 West Yorkshire Playhouse opened its doors to the public, so In 2011 we’ll be celebrating our 21st birthday and we’d love you to join the party. For 21 years West Yorkshire Playhouse has been at the forefront of British theatre, making great work with some great people. We‘ve worked with exciting new theatre makers and collaborated with renowned actors and leading theatre companies. Almost four million people have passed through our doors and we’ve been able to share with them the very best productions and our deep conviction that theatre inspires us all and can change people’s lives.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the fierce loyalty of our audiences. You let us know when we’re doing a great job, and you let us know when we’ve let you down, so we can make changes. But the most important thing is that you keep coming to the Playhouse. There are difficult times ahead and the arts will need to continue stating its case for funding both nationally and at a local level. It’s your support that will help us do that.
Leeds has certainly changed in the intervening years. We’ve been joined on Quarry Hill by Leeds College of Music, The BBC, and Yorkshire Dance and, most recently Northern Ballet and Phoenix Dance Theatre, whilst the town centre and Leeds market would be almost unrecognisable to the playgoers of two decades ago!
We’ve loads of special events planned for our birthday year. Our birthday season mixes a little of everything we do well. Join us to enjoy classic dramas, vibrant new work, a large scale musical, family shows and a startling new Courtyard Theatre transformation.

West Yorkshire Playhouse Director Sarah Esdaile Designer Ruari Murchison Lighting Designer Chris Davey Sound Designer Mic Pool Composer Simon Slater Casting Director Siobhan Bracke
Hester left her husband for another man. Left the security of the well respected judge for wild, unpredictable, sexy Freddie – an ex-fighter pilot. Now she’s reached the end of the line. Freddie’s raffish charm has worn thin and Hester is forced to face the reality of life with a man who doesn’t want to be with her. The simple act of a forgotten birthday pushes her to desperation point and to facing a future that offers no easy resolutions. Rattigan’s reputation was founded on his mastery of the ‘well made play’. Now, one hundred years after his birth, it is his skilful creation of troubled, emotional characters that has brought audiences and critics alike to re-visit his plays with renewed appreciation. West Yorkshire Playhouse launches Rattigan’s centenary celebrations with this exciting new production of one of his finest and most modern plays.

Lorca is one of the few indisputably great dramatists of the twentieth century Observer
5 to 26 March West Yorkshire Playhouse by Federico Garcia Lorca adapted by Ursula Rani Sarma What if the one thing you wanted from your life was the one thing you couldn’t have? Yerma longs for a child with every fibre of her being. When presented with Juan for a husband she takes him not for love, but for the chance to start a family. Now that is denied to her, the world ceases to make sense. Locked in a small town inhabited by smaller minds, Yerma begins to push against the rules, searching for truth and assistance in people and places that are not considered socially acceptable. Her innocent actions send a ripple through a community whose twisted minds fashion it into a tidal wave. Scorned and misunderstood by her people and faced with the reality of a life spent childless with a man she does not desire, Yerma commits the ultimate act of rebellion. This production is supported by The Quercus Trust and National Theatre Studio.

Told by an Idiot and Drum Theatre Plymouth
A well known rabbit attempts to stop an alien blowing up the earth. In a Berlin café a professor pleads with her student not to commit an atrocious act. And in a London department store the weirdest ever episode of Are You Being Served? is about to begin. This sinister comedy of ineptitude examines extreme acts of violence, the lengths people will go for their beliefs and how powerless we are to stop them when they have reached a point of no return. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock, Dario Fo and Günter Grass, this dark, funny and deeply disturbing show takes Told by an Idiot’s unique and distinctive style in a new and unsettling direction.

A tragic death sparks a forbidden passion and a brother and sister seal an erotic, but fatal pact with each other. Inside a corrupt and violent Italy, brother and sister cling to each other with what they feel is right. But plot and counter-plot threaten to overwhelm Annabella and Giovanni as they struggle to keep their forbidden love secret. By turn darkly comic and brilliantly horrific the play moves towards its fateful conclusion. As potent today as it was in 1633, Ford’s tragic love story is one of the most powerful and controversial ever written. This exhilarating new production is set in the 1960s and brought to the stage by director Jonathan Munby, praised recently in The Guardian for his ‘gorgeous production’ of The Prince of Homburg at the Donmar Warehouse.

John Shuttleworth A Man With No More Rolls ‘Sheffield’s finest synthesizer player and twaddle talker’ (Daily Telegraph) decides it’s time to instruct the Nation in moral matters. Well, he would have done – had next door neighbour and sole agent, Ken Worthington not mistyped the show’s title turning ‘morals’ into ‘more rolls’. John’s reaction to this mishap is philosophical. At least now his new show can consider – not just the Nation’s moral decline – but the vast range of exotic breads appearing in the high street.

Daniel Kitson The Interminable Suicide Of Gregory Church Gregory had fifty seven letters to write. He’d never written that many letters, not in one go. In fact, he’d never written a single letter and it was taking significantly longer than he’d anticipated. He glanced at his watch and then at the noose hanging over his head.
