SUMMARY:Pina Bausch/ Germaine Acogny & Malou Airaudo
DESCRIPTION:From the Sadler’s Website:\nPina Bausch/ Germaine Acogny & Malou AiraudoThe Rite of Spring / common ground[s]\nSell-out runs\, an international tour and five-star reviews herald the return of this iconic double bill. \n\nThe idea of ‘exchange’ is central in this two-part programme which marks the first collaboration between the Pina Bausch Foundation (Germany)\, École des Sables (Senegal) and Sadler’s Wells (UK). \nBausch’s (1975) The Rite of Spring is danced by a newly assembled company of dancers from African countries. In this pioneering work\, with music by Stravinsky\, a ‘chosen one’ is sacrificed changing the season from winter to spring. \ncommon ground[s] is a new work created\, performed and inspired by the lives of two remarkable women: Germaine Acogny\, “the mother of contemporary African dance” and founder of École des Sables and Malou Airaudo who joined Bausch in the early days of Tanztheater Wuppertal and later was a professor and director at Folkwang University. This poetic and tender piece\, the duo’s first collaboration\, examines their shared histories and emotional experiences. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tachwedd
DESCRIPTION:Four people. 2000 years. The feeling of being hunted. \nWhy book?  Support the amazing creative team at Theatre 503 who champion new and under-represented voices.  Tachwedd features an entirely Welsh cast in the play’s London premier\, in an aim to prove the “real wealth of talent” in Wales. Meet for a chat with the author at 6:45pm. \nJoin us at 6:45pm for a chat with the author of the play! \nSet in Bethesda\, North Wales\, Tachwedd weaves a powerful narrative of mythology\, history\, and survival across four distinct eras: 1742\, 1902\, 1975\, and the present day. Performed by a stellar Welsh cast\, this play explores the weight of inheritance\, the legacy of exploitation\, and the haunted land we leave behind. \nIn the same square mile\, four individuals across centuries grapple with their ties to place—whether through loyalty\, fear\, or the painful choice to escape. From royal hunts and religious fervour to a town ravaged by industrial decline\, each era reveals how land and identity are inextricably linked. The land they once called home becomes a battleground for survival\, burdened by violence and the choices of their ancestors. \nAs Bethesda reels from mass layoffs and the ground beneath them fractures\, Tachwedd asks what it means to possess land—and what happens when that land no longer feels like yours. As four generations reel from decisions across time\, Tachwedd becomes a story of survival\, of losing and reclaiming the place that defines you. Join us for an unforgettable journey into a fractured landscape where past and present collide\, and legacies endure. \n

SUMMARY:Giselle
DESCRIPTION:The iconic ballet\, reimagined. \n\nFollowing acclaimed performances around the world\, and sold-out shows in Manchester and Bristol in 2023\, Akram Khan’s Giselle returns to Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London for the first time in five years. \nAs the curtain rises\, dancers in shadow push against a forbidding wall. From that moment on\, this ground-breaking production stuns with powerful images. \nMesmerising choreography\, atmospheric lighting by Mark Henderson and a towering set by Academy Award-winner Tim Yip conjure up a condemned factory and the vengeful ghosts that appear in its shadows. \nThe ominous score by Vincenzo Lamagna – adapted from the original by Adolphe Adam and performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic – intensifies the story’s emotional impact. \nSee the greatest romantic ballet and its story of love\, betrayal\, and redemption\, boldly reimagined. \nEmail us if you would like tickets.

SUMMARY:The Grapes of Wrath
DESCRIPTION:The great American novel reimagined \nForced to travel West in search of a promised land\, the Joad family embark on an epic journey across America in the hope of finding work and a new life in California. \nTheir story is one of false hopes\, wrong turns and broken dreams\, but also a hymn to human kindness and a tribute to the endurance of the human spirit. \nCarrie Cracknell (Julie\, The Deep Blue Sea) directs Frank Galati’s award-winning adaptation of John Steinbeck’s masterpiece. Tony Award-winner Cherry Jones (The Glass Menagerie\, Succession) plays Ma Joad in this moving and deeply atmospheric story of a struggle against a hostile climate to find a place to call home.

SUMMARY:Nachtland
DESCRIPTION:Do you want this hanging over your kitchen table to remind you of your Daddy? \nModern day Germany.  Nicola and Phillipp argue as they clear out their late father’s house.  When they find an old painting stashed in the attic\, things get savage. \nThe painting is a quaint street scene from 1920s Vienna; the work of a failed artist who abandoned his original vocation for Nazism.  Nicola wants to sell it.  Phillipp wants to keep it.  Phillip’s wife Judith wants to burn it. \nNachtland* is a mordant satire about marriage\, legacy\, the rise of the new right\, and the terrible impulses buried deep.  The UK premiere is directed by 2023 Tony Award-winner Patrick Marber (Leopoldstadt).  Marius von Mayenburg is one of Germany’s foremost playwrights.  His plays include Fireface\, Plastic and The Ugly One. \n*Nachtland is an invented German word.  It suggests a place of eternal darkness..

SUMMARY:Dana H.
DESCRIPTION:Broadway smash-hit and winner of two Tony Awards\, Dana H. will have its UK premiere at the Royal Court Theatre in January 2024. \nDierdre O’Connell makes her London stage debut reprising her Tony-winning tour-de-force performance as Dana\, a psych ward chaplain who was held captive by a patient in a series of Florida motels for five months. \nDana Higginbotham’s remarkable true story is told in her own words and using her own voice\, with recorded interviews reconstructed for the stage by Dana’s son\, playwright Lucas Hnath\, and meticulously lip-synced by O’Connell.  The result is a groundbreaking work that shatters the boundaries of real and artifice\, and challenges our understanding of good and evil. \nDana H. is directed by Tony-nominated\, former Royal Court Associate Director Les Waters.

SUMMARY:The Cherry Orchard
DESCRIPTION:BY ANTON CHEKHOV \nIN A VERSION BY BENEDICT ANDREWS \n\n\n\nCan anyone persuade Ranevskaya and her aristocratic household that the world is changing\, and they must too? \nFollowing internationally acclaimed productions of The Seagull (Belvoir St Theater\, Sydney) and Three Sisters (Young Vic\, London)\, director Benedict Andrews has a reputation as one of the world’s leading interpreters of Chekhov. \nFor the Donmar Warehouse he stages the great writer’s final play. It’s a work that predicted and captured the end of an era\, but is timeless in its humanity\, prescience\, humour and pathos. The Cherry Orchard is Chekhov’s masterpiece. \nMaking her London debut at Ranevskaya is Nina Hoss\, one of Germany’s most celebrated stage and screen actors\, best known to UK audiences for her roles in Homeland and Tár. The cast also includes two-time BAFTA award winner Adeel Akhtar (Sherwood\, Murdered by My Father) returning to the London stage for the first time since 2015. \n“A production that gets to the drama’s heart and made me realise\, all over again\, why I love Chekhov.” The Guardian on Three Sisters
