SUMMER SEASON 2019 The Friars, Canterbury, Kent CT1 2AS Box Office: 01227 787787 marlowetheatre.com
WELCOME
to The Marlowe’s Summer season. We’re proud to be
presenting a diverse programme of drama, musicals, opera,
comedy, dance and music for you, here in Kent’s major
regional theatre in the heart of Canterbury.
This season includes two landmark plays by working class women writers –
Shelagh Delaney’s 1950s classic A Taste Of Honey and Andrea Dunbar’s
comedy Rita, Sue And Bob Too, which premiered at the Royal Court in 1982,
when she was just nineteen.
International dance comes to Canterbury with New York legend Mark Morris’s
Pepperland and Dada Masilo’s stunning South African Giselle. Opera buffs have
a treat in store with three sumptuous operas by Donizetti, Verdi and Handel
presented by Glyndebourne and drama-lovers can see The Taming Of The
Shrew, As You Like It and Measure For Measure performed in repertoire by the
Royal Shakespeare Company. The Philharmonia Orchestra’s glorious concert
series is accompanied by a free digital orchestral installation, workshops and
fringe performances in the Sidney Cooper Gallery on St Peter’s Street until
28 April.
Over at the Kit on Stour Street, we’ve opened an immersive exhibition
about Kent dramatists Christopher Marlowe and Aphra Behn and novelist
Joseph Conrad, alongside our popular Escape Room. Both are open at
weekends throughout the year – details on P41.
If you love The Marlowe and the work that we do, then please consider
supporting us. There are a range of membership options, from Friends to
Creative Circle, which all feature benefits, including priority booking
and social events. More information can be found at:
