New season announced for the world-famous Crucible Theatre earlier today.
It's not particularly clear, but Oscar and the Pink Lady is in the main house, and Here's What She Said to Me is in the studio.
Tickets go on general sale on Saturday 26 October.
First in the Crucible is the Shakespeare’s, Coriolanus, adapted and directed by Sheffield Theatres Artistic Director, Robert Hastie, following his critically acclaimed Julius Caesar. A contemporary take on the play about the disconnect between rulers and the ruled, Coriolanus stars Tom Bateman (Da Vinci’s Demons) in the title role and runs from Friday 6 – Saturday 28 March.
In the Studio, the World Premiere of Run Sister Run by Chloë Moss in co-production with Paines Plough and Soho Theatre. Connie and Ursula are sisters, connected by the same beginning but heading in different directions. Spanning four decades up to the present day, nurture competes with nature as the pair navigate their unbreakable bond. This story of family, love and dependence runs from Thursday 27 February – Saturday 21 March.
Then, in co-production with Utopia Theatre Company, Here’s What She Said To Me by Oladipo Agboluaje and directed by Moji Elufowoju is a kaleidoscope of music, ritual, poetry and movement. Meet three generations of women on two continents and follow their need to connect with each other across time and space. Here’s What She Said To Me runs from Thursday 18 June – Saturday 4 July.
Closing the season is the World Premiere of Oscar and the Pink Lady, based on the novel by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt and adapted for the stage by Bryony Lavery. Oscar is 10. He lives in a children’s hospital. It’s a frantic, magnificent and scary place, and he feels very much alone. Granny Rose is old. She’s a hospital volunteer and knows a lot about wrestling. And she doesn’t mind telling the truth about grown-up stuff. A magical new play, Oscar and the Pink Lady reminds us to live every day like it’s the last (Friday 26 June – Saturday 18 July).
