UpStaged Theatre Company presents
100
by Christopher Heimann, Neil Monaghan & Diene Petterie
Sat 5th & Sun 6th August 2023
This thought provoking drama poses the ultimate question: 'What happens in the afterlife?'
​
From your entire life, all you've ever done, what is the one thing you treasure most? 100 sets the premise that to pass through the void between life and death, you must select a single memory. One memory that you will relive for all eternity and every other memory will be erased, forever… You now have only one hour to decide.
The countdown has begun.
​
With a gripping plot and superb physical theatre, '100' won a Fringe First Award for 'innovation in theatre and an outstanding new production' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2002, where it enjoyed a total sell-out run.
2022 Production
Teechers
By John Godber
A fast-moving and entertaining play which brings alive the vigour of life at a Comprehensive school.
A drama teacher struggles to put on an end of term play, but has to push against disruptive classes, cynical colleagues and unhelpful caretakers.
With minimal set, clever use of mime and physical theatre, and some of the best (and worst!) of 80’s pop, UpStaged Theatre Company invites you into the 6th form common room of this loud, cheery and at times moving comedy.
Whether you’ve been there before, going through it presently or have it all to look forward to – this play will evoke a lot of childhood memories, as well as a few nightmares!
