FOLLOWING its production of Jeeves and Wooster, Progress Theatre is set to continue its 76th season with Alexi Kaye Campbell’s The Pride.
From Monday, October 10, Progress is staging the production which focuses on three characters as attitudes to homosexuality change over fifty years.
Alternating between 1958 and 2008, the play follows Philip, Oliver, and Sylvia, who live similar but radically different lives, and tackles topics such as intimacy, identity, and being who you are.
It stars Matthew Beswick, who recently directed Progress’ two-part triumph Angels In America, Adam Wells, and Faith Mansfield.
John Turner and Ken Deeks will also star.
The production is only suitable for those aged 15+ as it contains nudity, discriminatory language, and adult themes, as well as brief scenes of a sexual nature and assault.
The Pride is showing at Progress Theatre, The Mount, from Monday-Friday, October 10-15.
It will hold a relaxed performance on Monday, October 10,followed by a socially-distanced performance on Tuesday, October 11, and a come as you are performance on Wednesday, October 12.
Doors open at 7.15pm ready for the show to start at 7.45pm, and there will be one interval of 20 minutes.
