Theatr Clwyd announces full opening season

After an extensive redevelopment, Theatr Clwyd has announced its full opening season, marking a bold new chapter for the much-loved Welsh venue.

From the opening production of Tick, Tick… Boom! (2 – 28 June) – the acclaimed musical by RENT creator Jonathan Larson – to Alan Ayckbourn’s gripping dark comedy Snake In The Grass (15 Sep – 4 Oct), the season offers a diverse selection of unmissable productions.

The season also features major West End productions, including James Graham’s powerful adaptation of the cult 80s drama Boys from the Blackstuff (1 – 5 July), the stage version of thriller The Girl on the Train, starring Laura Whitmore (15 – 19 July), and the smash-hit Tudor musical Six (23 – 27 Sep).

Theatre lovers can also look forward to a fresh adaptation of Pride & Prejudice (15 – 25 Oct), a bilingual Romeo a Juliet (16 – 17 Oct), and Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre’s acclaimed drama Housemates (9 – 13 Sep).

Beyond theatre, the season boasts live music, including performances from West End stars in Welsh of the West End, classical concerts from Sinfonia Cymru and pianist Llŷr Williams, and stand-out comedy from the likes of Seann Walsh and Jasper Carrott.

Theatr Clwyd’s acclaimed rock ‘n’ roll pantomime will return with Cinderella (22 Nov – 17 Jan).

Artistic Director Kate Wasserberg said:
“This season is a celebration of everything Theatr Clwyd stands for – bold, brilliant storytelling and world-class talent.”

Tickets for the opening season go on sale to Theatr Clwyd members from Wednesday 26 February, with public booking opening on Monday 3 March.
