Nottingham Playhouse announces its autumn season
Twelfth Night, David Hare’s Amy’s View and eighteenth-century comedy She Stoops to Conquer will all feature in Nottingham Playhouse’s autumn season.
The three plays have been chosen by the venue’s artistic director Giles Croft and chief executive Stephanie Sirr because they all feature a woman passing herself off as somebody else.
Oliver Goldsmith’s play She Stoops to Conquer will be directed by Lucy Pitman-Wallace and it will open the season, running from September 3 with press night on September 7.
Director of Twelfth Night Paulette Randall has re-located the action of Shakespeare’s comedy to colonial Brazil and the production will run from September 24. Meanwhile, Zoe Waterman’s production of Amy’s View will open on November 9.
Mother Goose will be the theatre’s Christmas pantomime. Kenneth Alan Taylor will write and direct the production, which will star John Elkington in the title role.
Other productions in the Nottingham Playhouse season include Roundabout’s Under the Story Tree and Erik Gedeon’s Forever Young.
