Torch Theatre
Théâtre à l'italienne
The Torch is a celebrated producing theatre company, and the striking new theatre
was re-launched in March 2008 with a highly acclaimed version of the award-winning
musical 'The Hired Man'. The Torch Theatre Company boasts an impressive repertoire
including 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest', 'Neville's Island', 'Abigail's Party',
'The Little Shop of Horrors', ‘The Norman Conquests’, ‘An Inspector
Calls’, ‘Accidental Death of an Anarchist’ and The Christmas show is
always a firm family favourite.
The intimate Main House offers a wonderful
space to see professionals perform. With just under 300 comfortable seats, everyone
feels close to the action. The multi-million pound makeover has also created a new
Studio Theatre, which allows the Torch to offer a choice of films and live performances
between the two spaces every night of the week (except Sundays). In addition to the
Torch's own professional productions, there is a regular programme of first rate
touring shows ranging from musical theatre, drama and comedy, dance, opera, lectures and
the best in live music. The Studio Theatre may also be used as a meeting place and is
a valuable community facility.
The Torch Theatre also screens the latest
movie blockbusters alongside art house and off-beat films and visitors can also take
pleasure in viewing paintings, photographs, ceramics, crafts and installations by local
and national artists in the Joanna Field Gallery. The programme changes regularly, and
entry is free.
