After the critically acclaimed sell out success of the Dumb Waiter, Reading Repertory Theatre proudly announces its inaugural season.
It begins in December with a new adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, co-adapted and directed by Reading Rep's artistic director, Paul Stacey. April will see a revival of Strindberg's nineteenth centruy classic Miss Julie, and the season will close in summer 2013 with a major revival of John Osborne's revolutionary Look Back In Anger.
"This inaugural season will give us the chance to cement our place as a major new producing house in the South East" said Stacey. "I am incredibly proud of the fact that, within a few short months, we are in a place artistically and financially where we can produce three plays. It's an amazing position to be in and stands as a testament to Reading's appetite for great theatre. Reading Rep is only responding to audience demand."
The Reading Rep strives to become a regional theatre with a national reputation. Its residency at Reading College's Performing Arts Centre gives a fully flexible 60-seat black box studio space, just ten minutes walk from the town centre and with ample free parking.
The venue will give an opportunity to build a loyal audience cementing its place at Reading's professional producing house, and it intends to utilise the flexibility of the space by producing an amtitious range of work designed to ceate an ongoing dialogue with the community, challenging and provoking them in a way that only a live performance can.
