Nottingham Playhouse Annual Review Introductions
Strength in Numbers
Once more Nottingham Playhouse has
welcomed audiences to a superb range
of performances both inside our theatre
spaces and elsewhere in the city, county
and country. Mass Bolero, Nottingham’s
tribute to Torvill and Dean, involved over
800 local people and was filmed in locations
all over the city, becoming an internet
hit. We also staged compelling dramas,
which looked at the relationship between
the individual and the sweep of history.
Local writer Andy Barrett brought Tony
Benn to life and put his 50 year career into
perspective in Tony’s Last Tape; Mermaid
offered an insight into the struggles young
women face in order to fit in, and Time
and the Conways showed how the downfall
of the family was not due only to the
circumstance of the 1930s depression but
to their own fragilities. Posh invited us not
to look at the past, but to think about the
future by exposing the student antics of
those who may in time be regarded as the
‘ruling class’ and have a decisive say in how
we live our lives. This work and much more
not mentioned here, always produced to the
highest standards, has over the past year
offered us the opportunity to take time out
of our everyday lives and join with other
members of the audience to have our senses
refreshed and our expectations challenged.
We are fortunate to have such a dedicated
and talented executive team in Stephanie
Sirr and Giles Croft, who together with the
Playhouse team continue to bring us such a
wide range of extraordinary theatre.

Chair of the Board of Trustees

This has been a tremendous year for
Nottingham Playhouse. With the hard
work of our dedicated team and some
incredibly fruitful partnerships we’ve
created 14 productions, 330 participation
opportunities and toured to 46 cities,
towns and villages. Our aim remains not
just to make work of the highest artistic
quality but to then ensure that our work
has the greatest possible impact on our
many communities.
Mass Bolero marked our first major foray into
large-scale digital work and our pantomime
was the most successful ever.
We were able to launch Golden Age and Little
Playhouse and to stage 9 world premieres,
3 of which were by Nottingham writers.
A successful environmental upgrade in 2015
has dramatically cut our energy consumption
and improved our Green credentials. We are
enormously grateful for the financial support
of Arts Council England, Nottingham City
Council and Sir Harry Djanogly in delivering
this upgrade.
Finally, as a charity, we need to ensure that
we have financial success. Every penny
we earn or raise is reinvested in making
creative opportunities for the people we
serve. Last year over 3,000 donations
were received and our Backstage Pass
scheme finished the year with a healthy
950 members. Thank you so very much to
everybody who continues to invest in and
to support Nottingham Playhouse.

COLLABORATIONS
& ASSOCIATE COMPANIES
We are proud to be part of
city with so many creative
individuals and companies,
and over the course of the
year we have worked with a
great many on a wide range
of projects. Sometimes it is
in partnership, sometimes
it’s in association and
occasionally it’s simply in
tandem. These projects
have taken place both at
the Playhouse and across
other locations throughout
Nottingham, many in
unusual and unexpected
places. Thanks to: Bromley

ntu design prize
Every year, The Nottingham
Playhouse Design Prize is
awarded to a Nottingham
Trent University BA (Hons)
Theatre Design student,
after they are tasked with
creating a speculative set
design for a particular
production. Working
alongside our Associate
Director Fiona Buffini,
students are given support
and guidance from the
Playhouse in creating their
final models. In September
2014, Rachael Jacks was
awarded the prize after
impressing with her design
for Touched, by Nottingham
writer Stephen Lowe. Jacks
took up a work placement at
Nottingham Playhouse in
2015, where she redesigned
the set for a new co-produced
and touring production of
Forever Young, and then went
on to design Tony’s Last Tape,
which went on to complete
at successful run at the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe
after sold out performances
at the Playhouse.

15 young people with
physical and learning
disabilities took part in
our specially adapted,
week-long work experience
programme.
“What I really appreciated
the most were the high
standards you set for the
young people. The young
people were challenged,
given a real sense of inclusion
and most importantly their
parents and teachers could
see what they were really
capable of. I really believe
they have all learned
valuable skills from this.”
Inspired by Shakespeare’s
The Tempest, Wave explored
the relationship between a
parent and their offspring
as they reach adulthood and
leave home. It was written
for an audience of young
people with profound and
multiple learning disabilities
(PMLD) and autism, along
with their companions.

ACCESSIBLE
PERFORMANCES
Nottingham Playhouse is
here for everyone – and we’ve
worked hard to ensure that
everyone feels welcome. Our
Relaxed Performances form
part of that commitment.
Relaxed performances
mean young or old can enjoy
theatre in an environment
where they can come and go
if needed, where there are
no loud bangs or surprises
and where the welcome
is especially warm and
considerate. We continue
to offer performances that
are BSL interpreted, Audio
Described or use Stage
Text. We offer discounts to
audiences who are registered
disabled and free tickets
to those accompanying
someone with an additional
need. We raise funds to offer
tickets through 50:50 to all
sectors of the community and
our new Pay What You Can
performances ensure that no
one need feel excluded from
the Nottingham Playhouse
experience.

Nottingham Playhouse Annual Review A Greener Playhouse
A greener playhouse
Overall
In 2010 Nottingham Playhouse
undertook a major study of its
energy efficiency.
The study included:
1 An analysis of the current energy demands and issues
regarding thermal comfort.
2 Review of the building fabric and building services
3 Review of heating controls and potential BMS options
4 Analysis of low carbon ventilation systems
5 Feasibility of low and zero carbon technologies
Implementing changes in 2014 and 2015 we have now
reduced our energy use by over 23% AND created three new
participation spaces.
Funded by donations from theatre goers, from philanthropist
Sir Harry Djanogy and major grants from Arts Council
England and Nottingham City Council the scheme will save
between £50,000 and £80,000 per annum.
1 type of old theatre lantern used 39 kw/h, whereas its
replacement uses just 24 kw/h. That one change alone equals
21,000 kw/h per annum or around £1,800 a year.
