Join Adrian Mole on his journey of growing up

During the course of this year and a quarter, Adrian falls in love, suffers through his parents’ marital problems, and pursues his ambition to be an intellectual and a writer. Pandora, the love of his life, is brainier than Adrian, and her parents are in a higher income class than Adrian’s. Not exactly model parents to begin with, when their marriage breaks down, Adrian’s home life becomes even more chaotic. After his mother runs off with the next-door neighbour, Mr. Lucas, Adrian’s father, George, is temporarily cheered by his relationship with Doreen Slater. Set in the early 1980s, in an unnamed town in the midlands of England, the play portrays the effects on an ordinary working-class family of rising unemployment and cuts to education and medical services that defined the period. It was also a time when ordinary English women were beginning to express a desire for freedom from their traditional domestic roles, shown in the actions of Adrian’s mother and those of Pandora and her mother.

ONE Political Event. TWO Couples. FOUR Trajectories.

In a world surrounded by the continual fear of terrorism and the speculation that surrounds it, Jane Bodie’s play which debuted at The Hampstead Theatre in 2005, places us at the epicentre of two relationships after an unspecified urban terrorist attack. Bodie explores the human condition and its varying forms of deterioration following such catastrophic events.

Jazz - Comedy - Cabaret

Nominee for Best Newcomer at London Cabaret Awards

A story becomes a truth by the amount of people who believe in it. Belief is a choice we make. I am the secret love child of Elvis. Are You Lonesome Tonight? is a solo performance based on a true story. Ellie has been working with neuroscientists she has been trying to discover howand why delusional beliefs occur. Using 9 numbers that fascinated Sir Issac Newton, Pythagoras and Elvis she explores her lineage to ‘The King’. 
Ellie uses theatre, games, dancing and live music to look at how we define and measure ‘madness’.

Exeter University drama students join us again to share their final year work. Set in the historic hall on Stepcote hill, this performance is a celebration of the building and local community of the West Quarter of Exeter. Using real memories of the area, puppetry, movement work and story telling, join us to remember the past, look to the future, and be part of the bridge between the two.

We are a group of Exeter University students in our final year. We would like to invite you to 'Brick and Bone' a performance taking place at 7pm at The Hall on Saturday 23rd March. Our piece explores the memories and history of an old building through the story of a couple as they move through life together and enter old age. Taking inspiration from The Hall itself we will be looking at the dedication required for caring for that which is old. 'Brick and Bone' includes mask work, silent comedy and puppetry in creating this heart warming and hopefully truthful performance. Please come down and check out this great piece of Theatre in a spectacular space.
