Strikes, cost of living crisis, and community morale at an all-time low…except it’s 1994 not 2024. In the Yorkshire mining town of Grimley, bandleader Danny’s dreams of leading the colliery brass band to victory in the national championships at the Albert Hall seem ‘out of tune’ with reality, as workers choose between picket lines and redundancy packages.

But when Flugelhorn playing Gloria returns to her hometown, heads are turned, spirits are raised, and the band get their ‘oompah’ back. But what’s the real reason for Gloria coming back? And can a community that’s fighting to maintain dignity and hope, survive another set of betrayals?

A production composed of two 1-act plays – ‘Schrödinger’s Boys’ written & directed by Abigail Field, and ‘It Takes Time’ written & directed by Jenna Simmonds-Wood.

Each piece provides a window into the effects of depression and suicide on both the person directly affected and the people surrounding them and will therefore contain themes of such.

The Rhythm of Life will take the audience on a journey through existence, showcasing the universal human experience through various Musical Theatre songs, including hits from the best of Broadway and the West End.

Our talented cast, made up of children and adults will be singing their hearts out as they navigate the audience through the trials and tribulations of life, from childhood, self- discovery and love to heartbreak, self-doubt and loss.

This relatable family show will have you tapping your feet, smiling, and clapping, possibly wiping a tear but most of all, it will leave you feeling nostalgic, happy and uplifted.

A dramatisation of Captain Scott’s expedition to the South Pole in 1911-1912

Drawn from the journals and letters found on Scott’s frozen body.

The action moves backwards and forwards in time between Antarctica and England, it shows not only the extraordinary courage and fortitude of the team battling against the conditions but also the very human emotions and motivations which drove them forward.

The delirium and death of Evans, the self-sacrifice of Oates and the final tragedy of Wilson, Bowers and Scott are recounted in a mixture of fantasy and realism.

This is achieved by the conjured presence of Scott’s wife, Kathleen, and - in a variety of guises - of Amundsen whose party beat Scott to the South Pole.

This play is a powerful story both tragic and uplifting and stays faithful to the historical facts of Scott’s undertaking.

The Christmas season is one to be enjoyed with family and friends and what better way to enjoy this magical season than in the company of our very own Vicar of Dibley and her fellow villagers.

Enjoy as the village broadcast for the very first time their own radio station “Radio Dibley” and prepare for the penultimate Christmas Nativity play.

The Archway Theatre brings back all the loveable characters of Dibley and can’t wait to kick start your Christmas festivities. Merry Christmas everyone.
