Cast is a place where you can watch incredible shows, share creative ideas and be inspired. Here is a place to enjoy everything from comedy to jazz, plays to ballet, gigs to family shows and much, much more.

However, Cast is more than just a place where performances happen. It’s a place for everybody to come together. A place that celebrates Doncaster and everything creative about the world. A place that will constantly excite and inspire.

Central to what Cast does is the people who make it happen – this is our Cast of Thousands. From audiences to those performing on our stages, from staff to those

taking part in workshops, from international artists to local talent, everyone has a part to play in making the venue a real success.

As you read through these pages we hope you will find something that will encourage you to visit and join in the celebrations through this first season.

This is a place for us all. A place where people come together and fantastic things happen.

Come and join us. Be a part of a cast of thousands, be a part of Cast in Doncaster.

#singingminers


A song-filled comedy and a cracker of a play charting the lives and heartaches of a group of miners from Edlington.

From Doncaster’s leading playwright, Richard Cameron, this show is funny, moving and full of Yorkshire charm (not to mention songs!).

In the past the show has played in the West End and across the UK. Now this brand new revival celebrates our town, our new venue and the unique stories that come from our part of the world.

There are many stories from ‘up North’ full of the spirit of Northern folk. You only have to think of Brassed Off, Billy Elliott, The Pitmen Painters, The Full Monty or Calendar Girls to name a few. The Glee Club is Doncaster’s own offering to these great Northern tales – and it won’t disappoint.

Come and celebrate with us by enjoying a heart-warming and laugh-out-loud funny show.

Twelfth NightFilter Theatre in association with the Royal Shakespeare Company

Tue 15-Sat 19 October

Two worlds collide in this explosive take on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

Olivia’s melancholic, puritanical household clashes head on with Sir Toby’s insatiable appetite for drunken debauchery. Orsino’s relentless pursuit of Olivia and Malvolio’s extraordinary transformation typify the madness of love in Illyria: land of make-believe and illusion.

In this enormously funny, fast paced production of Shakespeare’s much loved comedy, dynamic narrative, witty invention and bursts of music result in a joyous celebration.

This is undoubtedly one of the freshest and most acclaimed Shakespeare productions of recent years. A punk Shakespeare and a contemporary recreation of the play.

Since their formation Filter has enjoyed a meteoric rise and success in the UK, Europe and New York. Bringing together actors, musicians, technicians, designers, writers and directors, the company is behind some of the most exhilarating theatre around today.

COMEDY DRAMA

Inspector NorseLipService

Wed 18–Thu 19 September

A flat-pack knitted crime thriller that will leave you in stitches. We’ve all heard of Abba and Ikea. Now with Wallander, The Killing, Steig Larsson (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and another winning Eurovision entry there’s a fascination with our Nordic neighbours that’s stronger than ever before.

Enter ex pop-star recluse Freya looking out of her log cabin in bitter mid-winter. She smiles and turns back to her meatballs. But who is the stranger walking across the frozen wastes, in a fur hat, with a chisel? Murder is afoot.

Packed full of one-liners, clever puns and visual gags this is a wonderfully funny spoof from the award-winning LipService.

Knitters needed! Can you help knit some of the set? Drop us a line at [email protected]

Oh Whistle: Two Ghost Stories by M R JamesNunkie Productions

Thursday 7 November

Over a century after they were first published, the ghost stories of M R James retain their power to terrify and thrill.

Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad – a tale of nocturnal horror – is considered by many to be the author’s masterpiece. It is beautifully complemented here by The Ash Tree, a story of witchcraft and vengeance down the generations.

Two classic spine-chillers performed by candlelight.

THEATRE

The Lovesong of Alfred J Hitchcock New Perspectives Theatre Company By David Rudkin Directed by Jack McNamara

Saturday 2 November

An evening in the head of the Master of Suspense. Alfred Hitchcock, at the height of his powers, is possessed by a dreamlike vision of a woman. From his director’s chair the 60-year-old Hitchcock begins to unravel some of the defining films of our time, drawing us into the imagination of one of the world’s most mysterious creative minds.

Adapted from his award-winning radio play, Rudkin’s poetic new play takes a unique look at the way the great filmmaker developed the ideas of his most famous films, including Marnie, Vertigo, Psycho and Strangers On A Train.

The result is a unique and haunting character study and an unprecedented journey into the mind of one our most fascinating cultural icons.

MUSICAL COMEDY

UnmythableTemple Theatre

Best of BEFriday 8 November

BE Festival is an international theatre festival, bringing together the most daring and unforgettable new performances from across Europe. A unique chance to see three award-winning festival favourites in one night, each half an hour long, with a chance to eat and discuss what you’ve seen.

Al Cubo by Betti Combo (France) Three buffoons help and defy one another in equal measure. Masterful circus meets mischievous theatre, with buckets of charm.

Tao Te by Ferenc Feher (Hungary) A unique and intensely physical piece, fusing freestyle dance with martial arts. Two men are dragged through a series of conflicts and struggles.

Next Door by Out of Balanz (Denmark) When Ivan’s neighbour passes away, Ivan realises he doesn’t know anything about him. Intimate storytelling and high-octane physical theatre.

Second Space, 7.45pm £12

THEATRE

FleshBy Sarah McDonald Hughes Directed by Martin Gibbons Monkeywood Theatre in association with the Royal Exchange Manchester

Thursday 14 November

‘It was New Year’s and I was all ready to go and get lashed. I don’t know why I did the test then but I did. I couldn’t wait. And there was just one line so I chucked it but then Dylan looked at it again, he had to get it out the bin, and there was two lines. Two lines means you’re pregnant.’

Shannon and Dylan are 16. They’re in love. And they’re having a baby.

In summer 2012, Monkeywood spent hundreds of hours with young parents gathering their true stories. The stories they told were surprising, moving and heart-stoppingly honest. Flesh is a brand new play based on these stories, which follows three young people as they become parents for the first time.
