The season promises large scale musicals to intimate dramas, beloved family stories to mind-expanding conversations, and boasts a plethora of world class entertainment. The Bramall Rock Void studio theatre enjoys its biggest season ever since its opening in 2019, with 11 shows comprising new writing, celebrations of aging and creative integrated access.
“For Autumn/Winter 2024 we’re continuing our mission to create a vibrant and exciting programme that has something for everyone whether you’re 3 or 93,” said Artistic Director and CEO James Brining. “As always through our work both on and off our stages, our ambition is to be as relevant to as many different people as we can, enabling dialogue and debate, bringing individuals together, and forging a shared space with a view to increasing mutual understanding and strengthening people and communities.
“As we continue celebrating major milestones as part of the theatre’s fifty plus year history, including a decade of our ground-breaking Theatre of Sanctuary programme, our industry-leading Dementia Friendly performances and of our Community Tour, taking theatre productions to neighbourhoods across the Leeds City Region, we are reminded of the very DNA that has driven us for more than half a century. We listen to our audiences and welcome more and more people into our theatre spaces every year to partake in Playhouse activities, using this building as a hub for the city as we share our spaces for meetings, events, and social get-togethers.”
The Autumn/Winter 2024 season of produced work includes:
Leeds Playhouse will join forces in September with leading theatre companies Headlong, Lyric Hammersmith and Nottingham Playhouse for a new staging of Lorraine Hansberry’s seminal drama A Raisin in the Sun directed by Tinuke Craig (Trouble in Butetown, Jitney, Crave, The Color Purple). The production will play in the Playhouse’s Courtyard Theatre from 13 – 28 Sept ahead of a UK tour visiting Lyric Hammersmith, Nottingham Playhouse and Oxford Playhouse.
Narnians Unite! The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is set to make a roaring return to its original home in the Quarry Theatre at the Playhouse, in association with Chris Harper Productions & Catherine Schreiber. The much-loved C.S. Lewis’ tale will be brought to life with magical storytelling, bewitching stagecraft and incredible puppets that are guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages. Mon 18 Nov 2024 – Sat 25 Jan 2025.
A magical festive season is guaranteed at Leeds Playhouse when Mr Snow, an enchanting new show for young audiences, brings flurries of fun to its Courtyard theatre from 30 Nov 2024 – 4 Jan 2025. Writer Robert Alan Evans and Director Amy Leach wowed audiences in 2019 with their fun festive family tale The Night Before Christmas and are teaming up again for Mr Snow, a twinkle-tastic show about Blessyou, a child who lives in the North Pole with their polar explorer dad and their best friend Beartie.
