WELCOME

We are delighted to introduce our 2011 Subscription Season and

invite you to share in the continuing success of your local theatre.

We are thrilled that we have just been awarded the prestigious

accolade of Regional Theatre of the Year in The Stage 100 Awards.

We also recently celebrated wins in two categories at the Theatrical

Management Association Awards for 2010, including the Best Director

award for our Artistic Director Laurie Sansom for Beyond the Horizon

and Spring Storm. This marks a considerable achievement as we

become the joint highest winners at the Awards for two consecutive

years. We were so proud of our transfer of the Young America season

to the National Theatre last year, and to achieve additional acclaim is

extremely gratifying. You will shortly be able to catch an upcoming

BBC Radio 3 production of Spring Storm, with the original cast and

directed by Laurie; listen in on Sunday 6 March.

You will no doubt also have seen that the Made in Northampton

production of End of the Rainbow has been receiving phenomenal

feedback from audiences and critics alike for its West End run. We have

high hopes that this season’s productions will match this success.

None of this would have been possible without the loyal support of

our audiences and so we share these awards, our increasingly visible

national profile and our ongoing success with you. Please continue

to enjoy the shows on our stages. We look forward to welcoming you

back to Royal & Derngate soon.

A NOTE fROM OuR ARTIsTIC DIRECTOR

9

Welcome to our 2011 Made in Northampton Season and the

launch of our subscription scheme, enabling you to be a part

of your theatre’s success more than ever.

This year we celebrate the work of iconic British writers, beginning

with Daphne du Maurier’s captivating family drama The Years

Between, the frenetically funny Diary of a Nobody and Terence

Rattigan’s achingly beautiful In Praise of Love – three plays that

explore the ludicrous, painful and joyful sides of married life.

JB Priestley’s touching Eden End completes our brace of family

dramas, following the hilarious hit from the Edinburgh Fringe,

Hamlet! The Musical, which was one of the funniest experiences I

had in a theatre last year. In the Autumn we follow it with a retelling

of Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona, which transports

the action to the catwalks of Milan where high style hides desire

and corruption, and the world premiere of a shimmering new

musical drama based on the classic novel The Go-Between.

You can also book now for our celebrated Christmas show; two

years ago you voted Alice in Wonderland your top title as a

Christmas treat, and we bring you the world premiere of a version

written especially for the Royal stage. Expect surreal adventure,

talking animals and a riotous journey down the rabbit hole.

Thank you for your support as we continue our mission to bring

you thrilling, thought-provoking work of the highest quality. We

hope that you enjoy the benefits of subscribing to your theatre for

a year’s worth of diverse and exciting work, Made in Northampton.

THE YEARs BETWEEN by Daphne du Maurier

11

THE YEARs BETWEEN by Daphne du Maurier

12

Did you know?

Daphne du Maurier is perhaps best known for her 1938 novel Rebecca, which

she subsequently adapted for the stage and which Alfred Hitchcock turned into

an Academy Award-Winning film starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine.

Daphne was herself married to a military man, Lieutenant-General Frederick

“Tommy” Browning, and has frankly admitted that The Years Between was

autobiographical in inspiration. Written in autumn 1943, the play reflected

Daphne’s own personal struggle with the separation from her husband during

the Second World War.

“ The provisional title was The Return of the Soldier, and Daphne certainly saw

it as containing a strong message. She described it to Garth Lean as ‘rather

sad… the sort of thing that might happen in lots of homes’ without actually

acknowledging to him that it was happening, or something like it, in her own”

Margaret Forster in the biography Daphne du Maurier: The Secret Life of the Renowned

Storyteller

01604 624811 www.royalandderngate.co.uk13

THE YEARs BETWEENby Daphne du Maurier

1945. Following the tragic loss of her husband in action, MP’s wife

Diana Wentworth and her young son have determinedly rebuilt

their lives in rural home-counties England. As a single woman,

Diana has found unexpected independence; she has assumed

her husband’s seat in parliament and begun a relationship with

a local farmer. As the war draws to an end and peace returns to

the country, a shock revelation threatens Diana’s new existence

to the core.

Autobiographically-inspired, The Years Between is one of only

two original plays written by Daphne du Maurier, better known as

a novelist and particularly as the author of Rebecca and Jamaica Inn. An intriguing family drama, this powerful production directed

by Kate Saxon (ETT’s Far From The Madding Crowd) breathes

new life into this rarely-performed gem.

DIARY Of A NOBODYadapted from the original novel by George & Weedon Grossmithby Hugh Osborne

16

Did you know?

Journalist John Mullan draws comparisons between Diary of a Nobody and

another of the most famous literary diaries in the world.

“Sue Townsend’s true predecessor is George and Weedon Grossmith’s late-

Victorian Diary of a Nobody, which discovered the comic potential of the form.

The diarist, Holloway clerk Charles Pooter, is certainly Adrian Mole’s ancestor,

privately convinced that his tastes and abilities single him out from those with

whom he must mingle. Pooter’s restriction is class; Adrian’s is age.

One episode in The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole seems to imitate one of Pooter’s

follies. With his mother fled with her odious lover, and his father sunk in drunken

self-pity, he decides to paint his bedroom black. Over the course of five days,

tracked exhaustedly by his diary, Adrian puts on coat after coat of black vinyl

silk-finish paint, but without being able to conceal the Noddy wallpaper beneath.

“Went over hat bells with black felt-tip pen, did sixty-nine tonight, only a hundred

and twenty-four to go”. We might think of Pooter who, determined that enamel

paint is the latest home fashion, paints every miscellaneous object – the coal

scuttle, the servant’s chest of drawers, the bath – bright red!”

Excerpts from an article first printed in The Guardian, December 2010


A ROYAL & DERNGATE, NORTHAMPTON CO-PRODUCTION WITH UNDER THE RADAR PARTNERSHIP

DIARY Of A NOBODYadapted from the original novel by George & Weedon Grossmithby Hugh Osborne

Following last year’s critically acclaimed production of Travels With My Aunt, Gary Sefton returns to Royal & Derngate to direct

Robert Daws (The Royal, Outside Edge) as Charles Pooter in this

frenetically funny re-telling of the farcical classic.

One Charles Pooter of Upper Holloway, a really very ordinary

middle-class clerk with lofty social aspirations, has decided that

the world deserves to hear his diary – whether they like it or not.

He has one night, three actors and an empty stage to impart the

dubious anecdotes of his humdrum existence to anyone who will

listen. He may be overly uppity and terribly hoity toity, but

Pooter’s relentless stream of unwitting, toe-curling social gaffes

make it impossible not to warm to this hapless everyman.

Adapted from the hilarious comedy of manners by George & Weedon Grossmith, this world premiere sees four men

uproariously recreate the trials and tribulations of Pooter’s

monotonous marriage and daily grind in Victorian London,

resulting in a riotously energetic and physical tour de force.

IN PRAIsE Of LOVEby Terence Rattigan

20

Did you know?

2011 is the centenary of Terence Rattigan’s birth. The Guardian’s Michael

Billington discusses the year’s celebrations.

“By instinct, Rattigan was a liberal idealist, but he also craved box-office success.

Inevitably, he was demonised by the new Royal Court generation of the mid-

1950s, and Rattigan did not help his cause by inventing a figure to represent his

middle-class audiences: the determinedly middlebrow Aunt Edna. But Rattigan

was much subtler than that: he was capable of portraying the inequality of

private passion while analysing the state of the nation.

In 2011, we should get a much more rounded picture of Rattigan. Less Than Kind

offers an intriguing variation on Hamlet, in which the 18-year-old hero returns from

evacuation in Canada and is horrified to find his widowed mother shacked up with a

wealthy Tory and former member of the war cabinet. The Deep Blue Sea offers a vivid

microcosm of a sexually stifling 1950s England. And In Praise of Love is long overdue

for reappraisal as a study of the perseverance of passion in the face of death.”

Excerpts from an article first printed in The Guardian, January 2011


IN PRAIsE Of LOVEby Terence Rattigan

At once sharply witty and profoundly touching, Terence Rattigan’s In Praise of Love is a compelling study of concealed

emotions and the ties that bind.

Set against a backdrop of the shifting political scene of the 1970s,

this delicate masterpiece explores the complexities of human

relationships and intimately exposes the devastating limits of love.

Widely regarded as one of the most important playwrights of

the 20th Century, 2011 marks the centenary of Terence Rattigan’s

birth and this beautifully poignant production is the perfect

celebration of one of Britain’s most gifted writers (The Winslow

Boy, The Deep Blue Sea). It is directed by Richard Beecham,

responsible for Royal & Derngate’s popular production of

Humble Boy.

HAMLET! THE MusICALby Alex Silverman, Timothy Knapman & Edward Jaspers

24

Did you know?

“ The characters of this our story,

You may have heard their names before.

They live on this sterile promontory

In a place we call Elsinore.

Olivier, Gielgud and Branagh

Have attempted the Dane on the stage

In a quite inappropriate manner

For the popular tastes of our age.

So we invoke thee our master Lloyd-Webber

As we join hands and beg you together

Inspire us and guide us,

put fire inside us;

Make Hamlet a musical play...”

Lyrics from Hamlet! The Musical

Our Artistic Director Laurie Sansom has described

Hamlet! The Musical as “one the funniest experiences

I had in a theatre last year”. Here’s something to

whet your appetite:


A ROYAL & DERNGATE, NORTHAMPTON CO-PRODUCTION WITH ELEANOR LLOYD PRODUCTIONS

HAMLET! THE MusICALby Alex Silverman, Timothy Knapman & Edward Jaspers

Venturing where other musicals fear to tread, Hamlet! The Musical is the joyous critically-acclaimed comedy romp that had all of

Edinburgh wowed at last year’s Festival Fringe, winning the

prestigious award for Audience Favourite Musical.

Before a major UK tour, the show that leaves Shakespeare purists

choking on their goblets of mead, storms into Northampton for

a fortnight of foot-tapping first folio frolics. All of your favourite

characters are present and correct, from the sweet Prince Hamlet

himself, to crazed Ophelia and the treacherous Rosencrantz and

Guildenstern, all galloping through a host of hilarious songs.

To be, or not to be? Well, that’s not the question. The real

question is – have you got your tickets yet?

EDEN ENDby JB Priestley

28

Did you know?

Eden End is directed by our Artistic Director Laurie Sansom, and sees him

revisiting the work of the great British writer JB Priestley, following the success

of his 2007 production of The Glass Cage at Royal & Derngate and 2001’s

Dangerous Corner in London’s West End.

“ As artistic director of the beautiful Royal & Derngate Theatre in Northampton,

[Laurie Sansom] now makes a splendid job of breathing highly imaginative

life into The Glass Cage” The Independent

“ Laurie Sansom’s excellent modern production... provoking in the best sense”

The Observer on Dangerous Corner at the Garrick Theatre, London


EDEN ENDby JB Priestley

Stella Kirby spent nine years running away, leaving home to find

her freedom as an celebrated actress. Now she has decided that

the only role left to play is prodigal daughter, hoping to discover

herself in the familiar surroundings of her childhood home.

Premiering at Royal & Derngate in advance of a UK tour,

Eden End slowly exposes the cracks in the lives of a respectable

Northern family in 1912. A poignant look back at an Edwardian

age of innocence before the start of the First World War,

this subtle play movingly explores the secret heartache and

disappointment of ambition unfulfilled.

Having received wide acclaim for his delicate treatment of

another rarely performed JB Priestley play The Glass Cage at Royal & Derngate in 2007, Artistic Director Laurie Sansom directs Priestley’s most heartfelt family drama, fresh from his

Best Director win at the 2010 Theatrical Management Association

Awards for last year’s Young America coupling Spring Storm

and Beyond The Horizon.

Manchester, amongst others...

Causing quite a stir with their dynamic and innovative performances and winning

a Fringe First Award in Edinburgh in 2010, RashDash Productions are one of the

most exciting theatre companies in the UK today.

“ Dunster’s inventive production keeps surprising you by the way it continually

cuts through the play’s nihilism with shafts of strong and strange emotion...”

Time Out on Troilus and Cressida (2009)

“ Flashes of dazzling beauty that shine out from the darkness and pierce you

to the very core” The Scotsman on Another Someone (2010)


THE TWO gENTLEMEN Of VERONAby William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s story of love, friendship and infidelity is

transported to a pop-culture world of music, fashion and

paparazzi in this fresh and vibrant new production directed

by Matthew Dunster (Troilus and Cressida and The Frontline

at Shakespeare’s Globe).

The play follows two close friends, Valentine and Proteus, as

they compete for the love of the beautiful Silvia, daughter to

the Duke of Milan. When Valentine is banished from the city,

their friendship is tested to its limits and only through a

maze of disguise and deception are they reconciled.

Featuring the extraordinary talent of exciting young physical

theatre company RashDash Productions, Shakespeare’s first

comedy is brought into the 21st Century with a strikingly

stylish swagger.

THE gO-BETWEENadapted from the novel by LP Hartleybook and lyrics by David Wood and Richard Taylormusic by Richard Taylor

36

Did you know?

Writer David Wood and composer Richard Taylor are also acclaimed for their

individual projects.

Richard Taylor is a highly-regarded composer, working across theatre, opera,

film and television.

David Wood has described The Go-Between as his “first ‘grown up’ piece of

theatre for many years”, with much of his writing focused on children’s fiction

and plays for families.

“ If you have even the remotest interest in music theatre, don’t miss it. Taylor’s

score represents the most auspicious promise of things to come since

Howard Goodall’s The Hired Man burst upon the British musicals scene” The Independent on Richard Taylor’s adaptation of Whistle Down The Wind

“ David Wood’s sparkling new adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic gets the

ear-splitting, roof-raising response it deserves” The Stage on David Wood’s

adaptation of George’s Marvellous Medicine at Birmingham Old Rep


A ROYAL & DERNGATE, NORTHAMPTON CO-PRODUCTION WITH DERBY LIVE AND WEST YORKSHIRE PLAYHOUSE

THE gO-BETWEENadapted from the novel by LP Hartleybook and lyrics by David Wood and Richard Taylormusic by Richard Taylor

In the sweltering heat and stifling humidity of a rural Norfolk

summer in the 1900s, a young boy comes of age as he is

unwittingly enlisted as a messenger in an adult affair of deceit

and desire.

This production is the world premiere of a moving new musical

adaptation of LP Hartley’s beautifully wistful classic novel, perhaps

best known as a film of the same name starring Julie Christie and

Alan Bates. It is a delightful opportunity for Northamptonshire

audiences to be among the first to see this poignant and romantic

story of naivety, nostalgia and the end of innocence.
