DireCtOr’s welCOMeHello There!

Welcome to our new autumn and winter season, packed full of great theatre and arts events right at the heart of the city.

This season we’ve a very special experience coming to Lincoln that I’m particularly thrilled about, which I think perfectly captures the excitement of contemporary British theatre and the spirit of the type of work we try to present at Lincoln Performing Arts Centre – Paines Plough’s pop-up theatre space Roundabout.

This award-winning theatre-in-the-round feels a little like a space ship inside and will land in front of our building this September, within a specially constructed geo-dome. Over the course of a week it will play host to a packed schedule of performance from great new theatre, family shows, music, comedy and cabaret alongside script readings and scratch performances. There’s never been anything like it in the city and we’re thrilled Lincoln is one of the few places in the UK to host this unique experience.

We round off the season (no pun intended) with another in-the-round extravaganza – our annual Christmas show. This year we’re setting sail for Neverland in a fun-filled retelling of Peter Pan, filled with swashbuckling pirates, free-running Lost Boys, a feisty fairy and a steampunk crocodile. So whether you’re a Lost Boy, a Lost Girl, or simply a parent that never grew up, this year is set to be an ideal festive treat for all the family.

See you soon

Director’s ChoiceWe have many great events on offer this season but if you like something a bit different, look out for this icon. I highly recommend it!

This 21st century remix brings to light the love, loss and dedication of die-hard music fans. A record shop during the recession sounds like the perfect money-maker; anything to get you off your Game Boy, out of your parents’ basement and into the real world. A group of well-meaning, infatuated and reckless teenagers take on a business with limited growth potential and next to no customers. Hell, it’s better to burn out than fade away. And who needs money and a girlfriend anyway when you’ve got vinyl? Rock ‘n’ roll baby.

Vladimir and Estragon meet as dusk approaches. Estragon tries to remove his boot. Vladimir examines his hat. A conversation begins, a joke is interrupted. A carrot is eaten. The two men quarrel, then embrace.

So begins Samuel Beckett’s 60-year-old masterpiece Waiting for Godot, a ground-breaking, anarchic meditation on the meaning of life and death. Part allegory, part burlesque, Beckett’s unique, timeless play moves seamlessly between absurdist comic sketch and captivating philosophical drama.

First produced in 1955, Waiting for Godot is arguably the most significant English language play of the 20th Century.

A tattered map. Outdated, well-loved and a nightmare to fold. Sarah is busy dying, counting down her heartbeats. She is studying maps of places she never intends to go.

John is driven to travel by the need to be someone interesting. He is drawing lines across continents, counting the borders he’ll cross and the cities he’ll see. Both are looking for a future when they meet each other.

Using song, string and a bright red anorak, this is a show that asks if we’ll know happiness when we get there.

New English Version by Robin Norton-Hale

saturday 7 november 7.30pm

The Olivier Award-winning version of Puccini’s much-loved weepie is a favourite with critics and audiences alike. One of the most accessible and moving operas ever written, La Bohème charts the ups and downs of a group of idealistic graduates as they bicker, party, try to make ends meet and follow their dreams. Aspiring novelist Rodolfo discovers a harsher reality when he falls for immigrant cleaner Mimi, while his best friend Marcello’s tempestuous relationship with his on-off girlfriend Musetta brings humour and fireworks to the stage. The comic elements of this hugely popular production heighten its tragic ending, with audiences saying this 21st century Bohème affected them like no other.

An incendiary piece of experimental storytelling from Chris Goode – “a theatre maker of infinite talent and infinite compassion” The Guardian

Framed by two violent deaths – the apparently inexplicable suicide of a young gay man, and the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby outside the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich in May 2013 – Men in the Cities is a compelling piece about harm and complicity, and about the forces that shape our relationships.

Through fractured snapshots of seemingly disconnected lives, Men in the Cities presents a challenging but radically humane portrait of how we live now.

“A smeared, soulful, messy, impassioned rant that has moments of such staggering potency that it feels like the air is on fire.”

“An important, zeitgist-pricking piece from one of the UK’s most interesting theatre-makers.” THE INDEPENDENT

With Captain Hook out for revenge and a ticking time-bomb waiting to go off, Peter Pan must battle with his fiercest enemy and get Wendy back home in time for Christmas.

The Theatre Club works like a book club: you see the chosen show and then meet up to chat about it over drinks and nibbles a week later, in an informal atmosphere. To help everyone warm into the conversation, each gathering will be led by lecturers from University of Lincoln.

To kick things off for the first season we’ve selected the first few productions.
