New mission: Warwick Arts Centre director Doreen Foster

Four years on from a major transformation—the largest in its 47-year history—Coventry's Warwick Arts Centre will reopen for live events on Friday 1 October.

Director Doreen Foster, said, "it's been quite a journey! But we're coming back with a bigger and better offer than ever before, and with a new mission to bring more people together through arts and culture.”

In its autumn and winter season, the arts centre will present Cupid’s Revenge in which New Art Club ponders the loss of real love. It can be seen on Wednesday 6 and Thursday 7 October.

Frozen Light imagines a future world in 2065, a “futuristic sensory extravaganza” for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities. It will be at Warwick Arts Centre from Tuesday 2 until Thursday 4 November.

Change Festival 2021 is “an uplifting weekend of theatre, cabaret, discussions, music, workshops, craft and films for all ages” and runs from Friday 5 until Sunday 7 November.

Beckett's Room, the latest work from Dublin-based company Dead Centre, explores writer Samuel Beckett's Parisian apartment during World War II using only voices and objects. It runs from Saturday 4 until Tuesday 7 December.
