Richmond Theatre

Tuesday, Sept 20-24 - The Doctor

In the 'performance of the year', Juliet Stevenson stars in the touring production of the five star smash hit.

On an ordinary day at a private hospital, a young woman fights for her life. A priest arrives to save her soul, but her doctor refuses him entry.

And in a divisive time, in a divided nation, a society takes sides.

Freely adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's Professor Bernhardi, the play is described as a 'provocative, wonderfully upsetting' whirlwind of gender, race and questions about identity.

Sunday, Sept 18 - Al Murray's Gig For Victory

As the dust settles and we emerge blinking into the dawn of a new era, the people of this great country will need answers.

Who better to show the way, to provide those answers, than the people's man of the people, Al Murray The Pub Landlord?

Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond                                                                      

Until Oct 8 – Yellowman

This 'electrifying' revival has opened to rave reviews with praise for this 'sublime piece of theatre'.

Twenty years after it premiered and received a Pulitzer Prize nomination, Dael Orlandersmith's Yellowman, set in the 1960s Deep South, is a moving and deeply pertinent play for now.

Alma and Gene have grown up together. She dreams of a life beyond the confines of their small town. But when their friendship develops into something more serious, Gene's fate becomes tragically intertwined with hers and they can't escape the legacy of racism and the tensions within their own community.

Each member of the group has explored ideas and experiences that have resonated during the lockdown periods, both local and global, of how we have all adapted, and are still adapting, to different ways of living and being. Their own personal experiences of isolation, upheaval and anxiety as well as wider global experiences such as migration and conflict are explored.
