The Stephen Joseph Theatre

Coming to Scarborough

Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre had announced its October 2010 to March 2011 season, which includes four in-house productions, three of them premieres:

16th September - 16th October
Life of Riley
Written and directed by Alan Ayckbourn (Premiere)
With a few months of his life remaining, George Riley’s closest friends remember with love, nostalgia or occasional bursts of downright fury, how deeply he has affected all their past lives. George, though, is plotting one last final farewell which threatens to upset all their future lives. What exactly is the eccentric maverick Riley playing at?

28th October - 13th November
The Price of Everything
By Fiona Evans (Premiere)
Directed by Noreen Kershaw
Eddie Carver is a self-made businessman. In stark contrast with his humble beginnings he now boasts a millionaire lifestyle: exotic holidays, flashy cars and real designer clothes. Not to mention exclusive country pursuits: ‘hunting, shooting and fishing’. Then one evening Eddie’s behaviour becomes erratic.
A tense and gripping thriller, this new play calculates the price we pay for material possessions and the effect it has on those we love.

19th November - 24th December
The Hunt for the Scroobious Pip
Based on the nonsense writings of Edward Lear, written by Andrew Pollard (Premiere)
