High Tor Players- The Memory of Water, RESCHEDULED FOR 20 January
The Memory of Water
This performance has been cancelled due to ill health. We have rescheduled for 20 January. All tickets have been transferred to the new date automatically. Refunds are available to anyone who would like one.
Shelagh Stephenson’s Olivier award winning, painfully funny comedy draws its audience into a world of memories, life and loss.
On the eve of their mother’s funeral three sisters, Mary, Teresa and Catherine reunite to say farewell to Vi. Memories are remembered, the past is retold and stories are shared. The sisters playfully recall their childhood and time spent with mum and her advice. But what happens when the women are forced to relive their childhood memories. Where does reality end and family myth begin? Why has the recently deceased Vi not left them?
Join The High Tor Players for this beautiful production that will leave you weeping with an equal measure of side splitting humour and grief.
20 January, 7.30pm (doors 7pm)
£10 This is a limited capacity performance. Wear a mask.

NT Live: Leopoldstadt, 27 January
*Leopoldstadt
A new play by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Patrick Marber
Tom Stoppard’s Olivier Award-winning new play Leopoldstadt is a passionate drama of love, family and endurance.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Leopoldstadt was the old, crowded Jewish quarter of Vienna, Austria. But Hermann Merz, a factory owner and baptised Jew now married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world.
We follow his family’s story across half a century, passing through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. A company of 40 actors represent each generation of the family in this epic, but intimate play.
Filmed live on stage in London’s West End, ‘Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece is magnificent’ (Independent) and should not be missed.

NT Live: The Book of Dust
*The Book of Dust – La Belle Sauvage
by Philip Pullman, adapted by Bryony Lavery, directed by Nicholas Hytner
Set twelve years before the epic His Dark Materials trilogy, this gripping adaptation revisits Philip Pullman’s fantastical world in which waters are rising and storms are brewing.
Two young people and their dæmons, with everything at stake, find themselves at the centre of a terrifying manhunt. In their care is a tiny child called Lyra Belacqua, and in that child lies the fate of the future. And as the waters rise around them, powerful adversaries conspire for mastery of Dust: salvation to some, the source of infinite corruption to others.
Eighteen years after his ground breaking production of His Dark Materials at the National Theatre, director Nicholas Hytner returns to Pullman’s parallel universe. Broadcast live from London’s Bridge Theatre.

book by Tanya Ronder, music by Jim Fortune and lyrics by Rufus Norris
A vividly original retelling of Sleeping Beauty, a mythic, big-hearted new musical that goes beyond the waking kiss.
Deep in the wood, a lonely fairy longs for someone to bless. When she is summoned to the palace to help the princess sleep, her dream turns into a nightmare and her blessing becomes a curse. Soon, she is plunged into a frantic, hundred-year quest to somehow make everything right.
