Theatre
Theatre is not just about trips to London, expensive tickets and famous names viewed from a distance. In an intimate space, theatre becomes part of you and you become part of it, challenging, inspiring and exciting. Even if you hate a piece, it can still feed your mind, still provide the antidote to intravenous television. Intimate performance encourages innovation, risk-taking and experimentation. It’s real, immediate and at best it brings fresh ideas, new perspectives and awakens emotions you never knew you had. The highest quality small scale theatre is right here at the West End Centre. Check it out!

Ashes to
Ashes
Thu 24 Apr 8pm £8 (£6.50 concs) seated
Brilliantly written and performed, this play illuminates the lives of 2 men, sharing with us the power of friendship and the indomitable human spirit, even in the horrific setting of Birkenau where 1,500,000 people were murdered in the gas chambers. Badac Theatre focus on human rights issues and violence, describing their plays as “extreme political art”. Fans include the incredible Steven Berkoff and they have won numerous theatre awards for their moving and passionate work.
"Ashes to Ashes is both effective and dynamic, and certainly out of the normal range of British drama. The visceral power of the work is extremely rare." Steven Berkoff
Show runs 1 hr 10 mins and will be followed by a short post show chat with writer/cast member Steve Lambert. Suitable for age 15+ Show contains strong language and brief nudity.
Why?...I am a massive fan of Badac’s work, they remind us all of the importance and emotional depth of great theatre. A rollercoaster ride that brings humanity into sharp relief, you must see Badac.
