 Staging Success Programme

Why join the Staging Success Programme?

Because we know how difficult it can be to gain access to leading industry professionals; all too often theatres are unwilling or unable to offer you the behind-the-scenes access you find so valuable. So we're here to make it easy for you. Simply choose one group of up to 30 students who you think will enjoy working with us. They can be a mixture of Years 9-13 or an existing class. The one thing they should have in common is a love for the inner workings of what makes a production possible.

 

Applications are now open for our upcoming production...

Michael Frayn’s gripping, spy thriller comes to The Old Vic after its highly acclaimed run at Sheffield Theatres.

This timely revival of Frayn’s stylish and sharp-witted thriller takes us into the true life world of political intrigue, espionage and betrayal. Set during the final months in office of the charismatic, nobel prize-winning West German Chancellor Willy Brandt, as suspicions of a Stasi spy infiltrating his precarious coalition government come to a head.

A brilliant ensemble of actors bring to life the fast-paced world of Democracy – Andrew Bridgmont, David Cann, Patrick Drury, Richard Hope, William Hoyland, Ed Hughes, David Mallinson, Aidan McArdle, James Quinn and Rupert Vansittart.

You will receive a confirmation email once your application is received and you will be contacted via email once your place is confirmed.
Running time of production: 2 hours 30 minutes (inlcuding a 20 minute interval)
