FOOD and DRINK Salisbury Playhouse SALISBURY PLAYHOUSE SALISBURY ARTS CENTRE AUTUMN/WINTER 2019/20 SEASON THEATRE | DANCE | MUSIC | COMEDY | FILM | EXHIBITIONS | WORKSHOPS | CAFÉS Book online www.wiltshirecreative.co.uk Or call 01722 320333 WELCOME Welcome to the Autumn/Winter Season at Salisbury Playhouse and Salisbury Arts Centre. At Salisbury Playhouse we are excited to be transforming the Main House for two special productions this Autumn. Alan Ayckbourn’s brilliant comedy Relatively Speaking and Hugh Whitemore’s compelling drama Breaking the Code will be produced with seating on all sides of the stage, bringing audiences closer than ever to the action and creating a special atmosphere in the theatre. Alongside these two Wiltshire Creative productions, we are thrilled to be producing the world premiere of Barney Norris’s new play – a retelling of Lorca’s Blood Wedding, set in a Wiltshire Village. At Salisbury Arts Centre, there is a lively mix of dance, comedy, music and film, as well as live screenings from NT Live and New York’s Met Opera and a fascinating programme of visual arts. And, of course, there is plenty of entertainment over the Christmas period – from the family pantomime Robin Hood, a new musical adaptation of The Tailor of Gloucester and Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales at the Playhouse, to a festive murder mystery, stand-up comedy and Christmas music at the Arts Centre. Finally, why not get creative yourself? Take a look at the wide range of workshops our Take Part team runs – from pottery and sculpture to dance, circus skills and even stand-up comedy – and give something a try. Thank you to all our audiences and visitors who continue to support our work as Wiltshire Creative. We hope you find lots to entertain and inspire this season.

Ginny is keen to marry Greg, but with unfamiliar slippers under the bed and a delivery of flowers and chocolates, Greg is becoming suspicious that he is not the only man in her life. When Ginny says she is visiting her parents, a dizzying series of misunderstandings unravel into chaotic comedy in this – Ayckbourn’s first big West End hit. “Ayckbourn is an absolute master of the one-liner and a brilliant observer of human nature.” Valley News on the 2014 Salisbury Playhouse Production of Bedroom Farce MAIN HOUSE TRANSFORMED!

Since his work was classified top secret for years after the war, no one knew how much was owed to him when he was later put on trial and publicly humiliated by the revelation of his sexuality. Hugh Whitemore’s compelling play intertwines an account of Turing’s most heroic hour with that of his betrayal by the nation he had helped in its darkest hour. Turing’s story went on to be told in the 2014 Oscar- winning film The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. MAIN HOUSE TRANSFORMED! For this production the Main House will be transformed.

That’s the motto of Mame Dennis, one of musical theatre’s all-time greatest heroines, in this brassy, hilarious and touching adaptation of Patrick Dennis’s bestseller, Auntie Mame, starring critically acclaimed and two- time Olivier Award-winner Tracie Bennett as Mame (End of the Rainbow, Hairspray, Blood Brothers, Coronation, Scott & Bailey) and film, TV and theatre favourite Harriet Thorpe as Vera (Absolutely Fabulous, The Brittas Empire, new BBC comedy Mister Winner, Wicked, Mamma Mia! - National Theatre & West End). Set in New York City and spanning the Great Depression and World War II, Mame Dennis and her intellectual and arty clique are disrupted when her deceased brother’s 10-year-old son Patrick is entrusted into her care. Rather than bow to convention, Mame tries her hand at a number of jobs with comically, disastrous results but perseveres with good humour and an irrepressible sense of style. Jerry Herman’s celebrated musicals includes the rousing title number, plus “Open a New Window,” “If He Walked into My Life,” “We Need a Little Christmas,” “Bosom Buddies” and “That’s How Young I Feel.” With spirit, humour, class and wit, Mame is sure to thrill audiences for generations to come.

Signed: ……………………………………………. 3 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without the generosity of many individuals who were kind enough to share their knowledge and theatre experience with me. I have spoken with actors, musical directors, set designers, directors, singers, choreographers and actor-musicians and their names and testaments exist within the thesis. I should like to thank Emily Parsons the archivist for the Liverpool Everyman for all her help with my endless requests. I also want to thank Jonathan Petherbridge at the London Bubble for making the archive available to me. A further thank you to Rosamond Castle for all her help. On a sadder note a posthumous thank you to the director Robert Hamlin. He responded to my email request for the information with warmth, humour and above all, great enthusiasm for the project. Also a posthumous thank you to the actor, Robert Demeger who was so very generous with the information regarding the production of Ninagawa’s Hamlet in which he played Polonius. Finally, a big thank you to John Ginman for all his help, patience and advice. 4 The Development of the Role of the Actor-Musician in Britain by British Directors During the Period 1960 to 2000.
