Quality, variety and ambition is what Naomi
Jones, Director of the Stahl Theatre, strives
for when programming, and the 2016 season
displays these qualities in abundance.

The History Boys
Wednesday 13th &
Thursday 14th January, 7.45pm
Tickets: £6

Join St Anthony House as they expertly depict an
unruly bunch of bright, funny Sixth Form boys
in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university!
The English teacher is at odds with the young,
shrewd supply teacher; the Headmaster is
obsessed with results and the History teacher
thinks he’s a fool. In Alan Bennett’s classic play,
staff room rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence
provoke insistent questions about History and
how you teach it and perhaps more crucially
about the value of education.

UN Inspector
Wednesday 3rd through
Friday 5th February, 7.45pm
Tickets: £6

When an email arrives at the Presidential Palace
describing the impending arrival of a UN
Inspector wishing to see how IMF loans have
been spent, a case of mistaken identity gets
terribly out of hand.

Gogol’s dark comic masterpiece The Government
Inspector has been beautifully updated by David
Farr and transposed from a provincial backwater,
to an emerging democracy from the old Soviet
Union. The original, published in 1836, appears
to have required depressingly little updating.
Corruption, double-dealing and sheer stupidity
seem to be universal.

Luke Wright and Paul Jellis present
What I Learned
From Johnny Bevan
Written & performed by Luke Wright
Monday 8th February, 7.45pm
Tickets: £12 adults, £10 concessions
WINNER
Fringe First Award for new writing
WINNER

The Stage Award for acting excellence
A story of shattered friendship, class
ceilings, and the hollow reality of the
New Labour dream.

At university the whip-smart, mercurial
Johnny Bevan saves Nick, smashing his
comfortable, middle class bubble and
firing him up about politics, music and
literature. Twenty years later, as their
youthful dreams disintegrate with the
social justice they hoped for, can Nick
save Johnny from himself?

Luke Wright delivers a multi awardwinning
hurricane of a performance.

With humour and humanity he takes
British politics head on, challenging the
rise of New Labour, David Cameron and
the abandonment of those left behind.
“Pulsating, neatly handled piece of poetic
storytelling” Lyn Gardner, Guardian
“Blistering … a story of our times …
a strikingly assured performance of a
compelling piece of writing.” Scotsman
“This is such a rich piece of writing...
resonant and timely.” Exeunt

Help us build ‘Stahl KENYA’!

In 2006, Harambee Schools Kenya founded Ngecho
School in Gilgil to provide children with affordable
secondary education. Over the past decade, Ngecho has
grown rapidly to 350 students and is considered one of
the best schools in the Naivasha District. Classrooms,
science labs, and toilet blocks have all been constructed
but one project remains incomplete: the construction
of an assembly hall. Funds have now been secured to
start work on a 25-meter hall where assemblies, exams
and dining will take place and building is due to start
before the end of this year.

Our target: We would like to raise a further £33,000 to
build a stage at the far end of the hall complete with
backstage facilities, comprising of two dressing rooms,
two toilets and a storage space above. It will be a mini
Stahl in Kenya! £10,000 has already been raised - now
we are seeking your support to reach our target.

Why a theatre? Beyond the cultural and artistic benefits
of such a project, sustainability remains a key dilemma
in any charitable venture. Once operational, Ngecho
School will be able to hire out the hall and stage for
local and national events, thereby providing the school
with an income stream.

What can I do?
Online donation: If you would like to donate just
select the ‘make a donation’ option when buying your
tickets online. All proceeds will go to HSK (charity
number 01078592).

Buy a block: For £50 you can buy a block of ‘Stahl
Kenya’. A corresponding block will be inscribed with
your name on a wall of the foyer Stahl Theatre, Oundle,
for all to see. To buy a block go to www.campaign.
