OPENING TONIGHT! We crash into Roman Britain where a rebellion is beginning to brew...

AD. 61, Britannia.

On the furthest outreaches of the Roman Empire – at the very edge of the known world – rebellion is brewing. The King of the Iceni has died and his widow Boudica has tried to claim her rightful throne. For her insolence in defying Rome, the queen has been flogged, her daughters have been r***d, and they have been banished from their homeland. But now, Queen Boudica has returned. And this time she has an army.

She will have revenge. She will have blood. She will make Rome quake in fear.

First performed at the Globe, Boudica is a new ancient history play that tells the story of one Britain's most infamous women: a queen, a warrior and a rebel.

Boudica will run every evening at 7:30 PM until Saturday evening. Tickets and more information can be found at www.assemblyroomstheatre.org/whats-on/.

OPENING TONIGHT!

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? presented by Castle Theatre Company opens tonight at the Assembly Rooms Theatre.

Albee’s play examines the complexities of the marriage of a middle-aged couple, Martha and George. Late one evening, after a university faculty party, they receive an unwitting younger couple, Nick and Honey, as guests, and draw them into their bitter and frustrated relationship. Set in 1960s New England, the play delves into George and Martha’s ‘games’ and the fantasies that they hide themselves in.

OPENING TONIGHT AT THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS

Incremental by Max Shanagher. Marcus and Sophia walk into a shop. This simple premise is explored to its absurdist extent in an existential play where audiences watch a scene unfold repeatedly with incremental changes. ‘Incremental’ explores power dynamics within relationships and the extent to which even the smallest of changes can have monumental effects...

OPENING TONIGHT AT THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS

milk teeth by Maariya Khalid. Following her (hot) therapist’s advice, Zenab buys a doll to reconnect with her inner child. But the moment she takes it out the box, she can’t help but feel a strange connection to it. ‘milk teeth’ is about lost love, motherhood, and loneliness, showcasing how quickly a woman can unravel.

THIS WEEK IN THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS THEATRE:
It is a fit-to-bursting programme this week in the theatre.

We kick off with a double bill of new student writing. Across two nights, join two companies of talented students bringing to the stage some exciting and very different new writing.

The latter half of the week sees Castle Theatre Company bring to life an iconic Edward Albee play in all its tense, charged and complicated glory with some of the best student theatre performers.

The weekend sees us loosen up a little with an evening of musical theatre classics produced by DULOG. This offers an opportunity to enjoy a drink with friends and watch some of Durham's established talent rub shoulders with some never-before-heard voices.

Tickets for all these shows are still available, and can be found here:
https://www.theassemblyroomstheatre.org/whats-on/

NEXT WEEK AT THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS: We have a ram-packed programme filled with everything from Pulitzer prize-winning playwrights, experimental new writing and even a relaxed evening of musical theatre classics.

With only one night off next week, and tickets still remaining for all shows, book your place to join the buzz of the new theatre season.
