Ages 12+

G10+ |

★★★★★ ‘The most joyful show I’ve seen all year, bar nun!’ – The Sun

★★★★★ ‘A heavenly revival.’ – The Independent

★★★★ ‘A divine night out.’ – WhatsOnStage, Alex Wood

★★★★ ‘A hell of a lot of fun.’ – Sunday Mirror

The verdict is in…

Guilty of a gripping night of theatre, Tristan Gemmill and Michael Greco share their thoughts on the case at hand.

Now in it’s 70th year, Reginald Rose’s knife-edge thriller Twelve Angry Men continues to resonate with audiences across the country – the play is an intricately crafted, delicate study of human nature first seen as a teleplay in the 1950s, then on-stage, and finally the classic 1957 film.

Tristan Gemmill, who plays Juror 3, testifies that the show has really stood the test of time.

‘I know the film very well and I recently made my kids watch the film -they were all like blown away! At first, they were complaining saying, ‘Oh I don’t want to watch a black and white film, you’re so old!’ but ten minutes in they said ‘Oh, this is good!’ and they ended up loving it’.

‘It’s a great character study, sort of a tableau of mid-20th century American angst. Americans after the Second World War felt they had a much grander place in the world, so it was very self-reflective about how to deal with that and how to stay true to the constitutional promises that it made its citizens. It’s a very fascinating and well-constructed piece’. Michael Greco, who plays Juror 7, agrees.

‘It definitely resonates with today’s society. You will recognise some of the characters and the way that people are in their thinking and the way they are in their personalities’.

‘I’d watched the film years ago and I loved it. When I got a call to be in the show, a lot of my friends said “Oh my god, this is one of my favourite films, can’t wait to come.” It’s an amazing piece of writing, something that is for all ages, really from youngsters to older people who’ve known the show and have loved the film for years’.

This gripping courtroom thriller is set in the jury deliberating room, where twelve men hold the fate of a young delinquent, accused of killing his father, in their hands. What seems like an open and shut case soon becomes a dilemma, with the story examining the art of persuasion, where the jurors are forced to examine their own self-image, personalities, experiences and prejudices.

Twelve Angry Men

Following a record-breaking West End season, this powerful production of Twelve Angry Men is back in session!

Reginald Rose’s gripping courtroom thriller stars Jason Merrells (Casualty, Emmerdale), Gray O’Brien (Coronation Street, Peak Practice), Tristan Gemmill (Coronation Street, Casualty), Michael Greco (EastEnders), Ben Nealon (Soldier Soldier) and Gary Webster (Minder, Family Affairs), alongside an all-star ensemble.

A jury has murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they decide the fate of a young delinquent accused of killing his father. But what appears to be an open and shut case soon becomes a huge dilemma, as prejudices and preconceived ideas about the accused, the trial, and each other turn the tables every which way, until the nail-biting climax…

An Officer and a Gentleman The Musical

Prepare to be swept off your feet with An Officer and a Gentleman

The Musical, based on the awardwinning 80s movie. This timeless story of love, courage and redemption will make your heart soar and leave you breathless, longing for more.

Be part of the emotional journey of Zack Mayo, a fearless young officer candidate, and the captivating Paula Pokrifki, whose fiery spirit matches his own. Their encounters ignite a spark that transcends boundaries, awakening a passionate love that defies all odds.

With every note, every step, and every heartfelt ballad, immerse yourself in this romantic masterpiece. Set to a smash hit soundtrack featuring the songs of Madonna, Bon Jovi, Cyndi Lauper, Blondie and many more, the power of music will carry you through the highs and lows of their extraordinary love story, including the award-winning (Love Lift Us) Up Where We Belong

Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch

The 39 Steps

This wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy thriller features four fearless actors, playing 139 roles in 100 minutes of fast-paced fun and thrilling action.

Alfred Hitchcock’s classic spy thriller, The 39 Steps, brilliantly and hilariously adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow as the smash hit Olivier and Tony® Award-winning Comedy, is back out on a UK tour after nearly 10 years in London’s West End, taking Broadway by storm, playing in 39 different countries across the globe, and delighting over three million people worldwide with its quintessentially plucky spirit and dashing sense of fun.

Follow the incredible adventures of our handsome hero Richard Hannay, complete with stiff upper lip, British gungho and pencil moustache as he encounters dastardly murders, double-crossing secret agents, and of course, devastatingly beautiful women.

From an original concept by Simon Corble & Nobby Dimon

Information about fees

Up to £1.75 from each ticket sold is used for the upkeep and improvements to your venue. We spend this wisely to give you the best experience possible, provide equal access for everyone and offer creative learning opportunities in local communities across the UK. Additional fees may also apply where we sell tickets for non-ATG venues, or for selected big name shows and performances. These additional fees may take the form of a per ticket booking fee and/or a one-off transaction fee. Please check our website for the most up-to-date ticket prices and fees. The information in this brochure is correct at the time of going to press. We reserve the right to make alterations to the published programme of events, their prices, concessions, offers and fees.

Sustainability

We work to continuously improve our environmental performance and find solutions that reduce environmental impact, therefore this brochure is printed on responsibly sourced paper. Please continue to help the environment by recycling or passing on to a friend.
