March - April

Visitors to the Stahl can expect great things as this fi rst season under the new
directorship of Naomi Jones continues. From two performances by one of
the country’s leading touring theatre companies, to originally commissioned
work and devised theatre, there should be something for everyone!

In the Shadow of Wings
Thursday 5th, Friday 6th & Saturday 7th March,
7.45pm - Tickets: £5
Spring 1915 - Europe is at war. Cecil Lewis and best friend
Maynard Greville, aged 16, stand on the steps of School
House and contemplate what their contribution to the
Great War will be. By 17, Lewis would be fl ying over
enemy lines; by 19, he would be engaged in a near fatal
dog-fi ght over the batt lefi elds of France.

Writt en by - former pupil, Eddie Elks and based on the
book Sagitt arius Rising by former pupil, Cecil Lewis. This
original piece, commissioned by Oundle School as part
of its World War 1 centenary commemorations, vividly
depicts the beginnings of what was to become a life full of
adventure for Cecil Lewis. It is performed by a talented
ensemble from the Fifth and Sixth Form at Oundle School.

A Level Theatre Studies
Thursday 19th March, 7.45pm - Tickets: £3
Devised Performance

The fi nal performance by Upper Sixth Theatre Studies
pupils is always a highlight. The culmination of the
two-year course presents a production devised by the
pupils themselves.

Previous years’ work has centred on views of dystopian
society, refl ections on the life and work of Sylvia Plath
and adaptations based on the poetry of Keats and
Kipling. The Lower Sixth pupils perform a series of
extracts from published plays and, once again, the
audience can expect an extraordinarily diverse range.

Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage
Tuesday 28th & Wednesday 29th April, 7.45pm - Tickets: £9.50
This is the story of two Welsh names bruised, but not beaten, by
media speculation: Gareth “Alfi e” Thomas, 105 caps for Wales, once its
captain and now the world’s most prominent gay sportsman, and his
hometown, Bridgend. Working with Alfi e himself, and young people
in Bridgend, two of the UK’s most exciting theatre companies – Out of
Joint and National Theatre Wales – have teamed up to tell a great story
about sport, politics, secrets, life and learning to be yourself.
On Tuesday 28th the performance will be followed by a postshow
discussion with director Max Staff ord-Clark and members
of the company.

Out of Joint, National Theatre of Wales and Arcola Theatre with Sherman Cymru.
