Christmas 2-3 Theatre 4-7 And so we kick-off our 30th anniversary year with an Autumn season jam-packed with 100 events and films culminating in our 2012 Christmas show Peter Pan! To think Trinity Theatre exists purely due to the hard work and determination of a small group of volunteers 3 decades ago, who saved the building from inevitable demolition and created a community arts venue with a yearly programme of 22 shows. Since then we’ve gone from strength to strength, with 2100 hours of volunteer support and a programme of 437 events in the past year, plus a completely new digital cinema and sound system. Music & Dance 8-11 Comedy 12-15 Film 16-22 Children & Youth 23-26 Information 27 Visual Arts 28-29 We want to show you how much has been achieved with your help, so cordially invite you to our Gallery exhibition documenting our 30 years of life with photos, anecdotes, memorabilia and film recordings in December.

This riotous musical comedy is guaranteed to have you ‘cachinnating’ (use it in a sentence, request a definition?).

Follow the hilarious adventures of the Micawber family as they struggle to make ends meet – when sometimes they can’t even find the ends! – in this brash new world that is Melbourne in 1855. Visits from the bailiffs, rent arrears and his daughter Emma’s betrothal to his landlord’s son, already complicate Micawber’s life, but when his son, Wilkins, introduces a young man with an ambiguous past, who also has designs on Emma, it becomes even more tangled. Micawber turns detective, but will the mystery he uncovers threaten even his optimism and integrity? £14 (£12) A Woman Of No Importance By Alan Bennett Theatre Maketa Tue 18 Sep 1pm & Wed 19 Sep 1pm | 3pm Leda Hodgson returns to Trinity with another performance from Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads series.

The family reunite for Robert’s funeral, and unwittingly embark upon a discomforting journey of discovery and nostalgia; straight into the inscrutable equations of the mind and heart.

After its Broadway debut, Vincent Canby wrote in the New York Times, “There’s no doubt about it. Arcadia is Tom Stoppard’s richest, most ravishing comedy to date, a play of wit, intellect, language, brio, and, new for him, emotion.” Many critics regard Arcadia as Tom Stoppard’s finest play. Arcadia is certainly a play of ideas, but it is also a poignant love story. As the action shifts between the present and the early 19th Century, the play addresses major questions of art and science, and how they intersect. Arcadia has been variously described as scintillating comedy, as superb drama, and as a theatrical grenade. Come and decide for yourself. £12.50 (£11.50) | Opening night special offer: £17.50 for two tickets Les Miserables By Victor Hugo | Adapted by Adrian Preater Hotbuckle Productions Thu 8 Nov 7.30pm (theatrical version) Prisoner 24601, Jean Valjean is released from prison and so begins his bitter struggle to find redemption for the sins of his past and become a force for good.

The Raid (Serbuan Maut) 18 | 100mins | Indonesian | Gareth Huw Evans Sun 9 Sep 8pm An Indonesian SWAT team becomes trapped in a tenement run by a ruthless mobster and his army of killers and thugs. This is a skull-splinteringly violent, uncompromisingly intense and simply brilliant martial arts action movie in a nightmarish and claustrophobic setting.
