Worcester Theatres are proud to have been host to many wonderful Worcester REP productions written, directed, created and casted by many different people. This page includes an archive of performances from the last 10 years. 

 


 

HUNT

Wednesday 9th – Friday 11th March / Friday 22nd April 2022 
Directed by Owen Harper, written by Fionnula Kennedy.
 

Have you ever done something bad that you couldn’t take back? What if it was just part of a game, a silly game that got out of hand before you could stop it. It was supposed to be fun! It’s alright as long as you have your friends with you… right? 

Hunt is a thrilling piece of new theatre, following a group of teenagers on a very risky and dangerous treasure hunt... As secrets come to light, who can tell who’s friend and who’s foe? 

Worcester Young REP presented Hunt, debuting at the Swan Theatre in March 2022 and as part of the NT Connections festival, the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff in April 2022. 

 


 

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Tuesday 30th November 2021 - Sun 2nd January 2022 
Written and directed by Paul Milton.
 

Can courageous Belle, with her friends Jacques and Dame Madame Bonbon, defeat the Wicked Witch of Worcester and release the Beast from his curse? Come and join them all on the fairytale adventure of a lifetime. Packed full of panto treats galore, don’t miss this all-singing, all-dancing family-favourite pantomime! 

After two years without a pantomime, Worcester Theatres returned with Beauty and The Beast at the Swan Theatre for an incredible run.  

 

 

 


 

THE WILL TO LIVE 

Sunday 25th July 2021   

Directed by Owen Harper, written by Elly Datson.

 

The Will to Live is a funny, thought-provoking piece of new writing which explores our responses to change and acceptance. It’s Inside Out but this time it’s the organs telling the story  

Seemingly the perfect eco-system… although there is a small disagreement as to who is most important – being labelled ‘vital to life’ tends to give one a slight God complex. Heart wants what she wants, but Brain is sure she knows better. Lungs try to be the voice of reason; she just wants to clear the air. And Kidney’s just tired of dealing with everyone’s crap  

Running a human is not easy, it’s group work…and there’s always one who’s not pulling their weight. Change is inevitable and not everyone’s happy about it... 

The Young REP returned with this piece of new-writing by Worcester University graduate, Elly Datson. The Will to Live was performed as part of the first Worcester Fringe Festival.

 


ELSIE & NORM'S MACBETH

Wednesday 30th June – Sunday 11th July 2022 

Directed by Ian Good, written by John Christopher-Wood.

Elsie and Norm have decided to have a bit of a bash at culture by staging their own production of Macbeth. After a spot of judicious re-writing by Norm to make it snappier and more punchy, and undaunted by the large cast, Elsie and Norm set out to act "one of the greatest pieces of literature what has ever been written in the English language", playing all the characters between them. The hilarious results set Shakespeare spinning in his grave! 

Performed outside at Worcester Commandery, Worcester REP brought us Elsie & Norm’s Macbeth receieving brilliant reviews from audience members. 

“This production was everything we could’ve possibly hoped for”
