Coming Up | Newcastle Theatre Company
Newcastle Theatre Company does creative work on a serious scale, with seven mainstage productions a year. Check out what's coming up in November...
THE GAMES AFOOT
2 – 16 November
It’s elementary – or is it? Famous 1930s actor William Gillette is known for his stage portrayal of Sherlock Holmes. After an attempt on his life during a performance, he invites his fellow cast members to his isolated Connecticut mansion for the weekend. Emulating Holmes’ deductive skills, Gillette sets out to solve the mystery of the attempted murder.
Dark secrets and hidden motives are exposed, and the guests find themselves entangled in a web of deception and betrayal. Amidst the chaos, the lines between actors and characters become increasingly blurred, leading to hilarious misunderstandings and unexpected revelations. Witty banter and clever wordplay add to the play’s humour, while Ludwig’s suspenseful plot keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.
THE DOG LOGS
27 + 29 + 30 November
From a tough Rottweiler with neighbour problems to an aging mongrel who discovers love later in life, this collection of hilarious and heart-breaking monologues examines the lives of dogs from every breed, age, and situation. Telling stories of friendship, romance, and revenge, The Dog Logs is a refreshing take on canine life that is touching and surprisingly
human.
