FRI 21 OCT – SAT 5 NOV An un-missable comedy contemplating the life, loves and losses of the prolific comedy duo.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are stuck in a waiting room somewhere between death and eternity. Before they can pass into the next world, they take a look back at their lives and loves and offer a fascinating insight into their off-screen relationships and personal heartaches.

Featuring Martin Barrass as Stan Laurel

With some of their finest comedy routines, musical numbers, dance and slapstick, the charm and wit of Stan and Ollie are reborn in a warm and affectionate homage to one of the most successful and prolific comedy teams in history.

That’s another fine mess you’ve got us into!

FRI 17 FEB – SAT 3 MAR Anne Frank's world famous diary charts two years of her life from 1942 to 1944. This extraordinary personal account of hope, courage and survival has united and touched people world wide.

Anne’s wry observations of herself and her companions have been dramatised in this stunning play, evoking all the original sentiments of a young girl’s dramatic and heartbreaking diary, written in the most hostile of environments.

From the same partnership that produced last spring’s sell out production of To Kill a Mockingbird comes another classic text.

It’s a role they despise but a job they were made for, and they are desperate for cash. But all is not what it seems in this hilarious comedy of unpaid bills, offers of sex and boozy bailiffs! Join the Debt Collectors as they dig into a world of cash and collection and what we will do to avoid it! They were once in The Bill now they’re on

The Debt Collectors; they know where you live, and how much you paid for it! A contemporary comedy about credit, castings and cashing in.

WE ARE THREE SISTERS A new play by Blake Morrison

TUE 22 – SAT 26 NOV

Against the backdrop of a dark, remote northern town, three remarkable young women live their lives brightly.

Haworth1840s; in a gloomy parsonage where there are neither curtains nor comforts, Charlotte, Anne and Emily Brontë light up their world with outspoken wit, aspirations, dreams and ideas. And throughout their confined lives intensely lived…. they write.

Members 15% off 2 tickets Concessions available see p31 for details

With exquisitely drawn characterisations, a nod to Chekhov and a touch of poetic licence, We Are Three Sisters is a pearl of a play which evokes with piercing clarity the life and distinct personalities of these three spirited individuals.

Anyone who has read a Brontë novel cannot fail to be stirred by their overwhelming humanity, charged emotion and brooding, prescient unease with the status quo.

WED 14 – SAT 17 SEP Written by Hannah Davies Chloe is 17, single and lives with her aunty and new baby.

Struggling to cope with her new life and facing an uncertain future, she tries to find solace and answers by delving back into her troubled past. With knowing the truth comes a dilemma; does she follow the family mould or choose to follow her own path?

A dark, touching and poignant new play from a York based writer, of a young girl going backwards in the need to go forwards.

But nothing can stop the growing tide of desire of Bernada Alba's five daughters. As the frustrated tension mounts, each holds on to their longings, jealousies and hopes for the attentions of the virile Pepe Romano, promised in marriage to one of them.

In the 75th anniversary year of Lorca’s death this is a stunning theatrical journey into the imagination of a great poetic writer.

An enchanting tale of a unique friendship: Stig wears rabbit-skins, has his own language and uses empty tin cans for a chimney.

Barney has scuffed shoes, grazed knees and dirty fingernails.

Join Stig and Barney on their magical adventure as puppetry and performance turn rubbish into something real, change scrap into scenery and make garbage gorgeous!

Mind the Gap is an awardwinning theatre company that works with learning disabled and non-disabled actors as equals.

The two actors conjure storms and apparitions, lay bare treasons and counterplot, and finally transport you to a brave new world of love and reconciliation.

Adapted and directed by Geoff Bullen, with a specially commissioned score by the internationally renowned composer Tot Taylor including contributions from Stacey Kent, Alan Barnes, and Simon Warner.

This Pulitzer prize-winning play is a powerful drama, set in a Catholic school. It tells the story of Sister Aloysius who takes matters into her own hands when she suspects a charismatic priest of sexually abusing a student. Faced with the prospect of charging the priest with unproven allegations which could destroy his career as well as her own, Sister Aloysius tries to enlist help from the boy's mother and from an idealistic young nun who finds her faith severely challenged. ’A gripping mystery...‘ Time Out Directed by Gareth Jenkins

Mind the Gap is an awardwinning theatre company that works with learning disabled and non-disabled actors as equals.

The two actors conjure storms and apparitions, lay bare treasons and counterplot, and finally transport you to a brave new world of love and reconciliation.

Adapted and directed by Geoff Bullen, with a specially commissioned score by the internationally renowned composer Tot Taylor including contributions from Stacey Kent, Alan Barnes, and Simon Warner.

This Pulitzer prize-winning play is a powerful drama, set in a Catholic school. It tells the story of Sister Aloysius who takes matters into her own hands when she suspects a charismatic priest of sexually abusing a student. Faced with the prospect of charging the priest with unproven allegations which could destroy his career as well as her own, Sister Aloysius tries to enlist help from the boy's mother and from an idealistic young nun who finds her faith severely challenged. ’A gripping mystery...‘ Time Out Directed by Gareth Jenkins

WED 22 FEB – SAT 3 MAR

WED 7– SAT 17 MAR

Written by Jim Cartwright

by Alan Ayckbourn

In Jim Cartwright’s extraordinary play about sleep, insomnia and growing old, eight elderly characters relive their lives and evoke their dreams. Old Bomb, the theatre company behind recent productions of Pinteresque, Cigarettes and Chocolate and Waiting for Godot, bring you another intimate and atmospheric show, complete with specially composed music and a very large mattress.

Life in your teens, as Tammy discovers, can be unfair and even cruel. School is a disaster and at home she can do nothing right. Then something really terrible happens. When she gets the chance to undo the tragedy, she grabs the opportunity. But is it possible to change the world around you without changing yourself?

Bring your pyjamas, join in the fun and get ready for bed!

This serious comedy is a rare chance to see one of Alan Ayckbourn’s plays for young people and families. The issues it explores, its sense of fun and its gripping plot will appeal to people of all ages.

‘The sheer exuberance and beauty of the writing and the piece’s urgent theatricality are difficult to describe… Cartwright (Two, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice) is a true original.’

2- 27 AUG 2012 York Museum Gardens The medieval cycle of YORK MYSTERY PLAYS has been performed by the people of York across the centuries and is a world-famous part of the city’s cultural heritage.

From Creation to the Last Judgement, these plays form one of the greatest stories ever told. In summer 2012, the story of God, of man and woman and of the cosmic struggle between good and evil will be presented on an epic scale against the magnificent backdrop of St Mary's Abbey.

For the first time since 1988 in a production of this size, the Plays will return to York Museum Gardens, where a 1400 coveredseat theatre will be constructed within the ancient walls of the Abbey.

Taking place in the same year that London hosts the Olympic Games, this international event will also be a major part of York’s 800th anniversary celebrations of the granting of its Civic Charter. An exciting festival atmosphere will be created both in the Gardens and throughout the city, with entertaining fringe events and a celebration of the best of Yorkshire food and drink.

Presented by York Theatre Royal, Riding Lights Theatre Company and York Museums Trust and supported by City of York Council, this bold, accessible adaptation of the Plays is by York writer Mike Kenny, who also adapted E. Nesbitt’s The Railway Children for the Olivier award-winning production by York Theatre Royal and the National Railway Museum. Over 1,000 people from the local community will join with a team of professional artists and technicians to create this spectacular production.

Times: 7.30pm with 2.30pm (Sat) matinees Performance Location: York Museum Gardens Tickets: Evening performances: £20 - £42 full price, £15 - £30 concessions, £15 - £25 under 16s Matinee performances: £15 - £35 full price, £12 – £25 concessions, £12 - £21 under 16s Family tickets and group discounts available
