RESCHEDULED DATES: PLEASE SEE EXPLANATORY MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 

This thoroughly entertaining rock musical with its dramatic score and fascinating storyline, has been thrilling theatre goers for years and is just as relevant today as when it was first produced.

Whilst dealing with some dark themes there are moments of hope and triumph so audiences are uplifted as well as moved. At its heart, the story celebrates family, forgiveness, resilience, and ultimately the extraordinary power of healing

The story of Tommy is timeless. The artistic vision of our production is a simplicity of set, costumes and props with the use of inspirational projection and lighting to complement and enhance the piece, with an emphasis on the cast to bring the characters to life through the wonderful music.

This production of Tommy exists outside the bounds of a specific time or place.

EDI Assessment

In line with our EDI policy, we undertake an EDI impact assessment of all our artistic programming. The Who's 'Tommy' tells the story of the turbulent life of Tommy Walker, who witnesses a traumatic event in his childhood and consequently suffers loss of hearing, sight and speech. The play deals with some dark themes such as bullying and abuse.  It involves a large ensemble cast with significant flexibility over playing ages, gender identity, and complete neutrality on race/ethnicity. For the purposes of the narrative, certain characters will be specified as needing to be female- or male- presenting.
