Vinegar Tom

Actor Musicianship
Mountview’s Actor Musicians present this mischievous examination of gender and power within the frame of the 17th-century witchcraft trials in England. Inspired by the Women’s Rights Act of 1970, the astonishing inequality of that time and questioning if anything has really changed.
The Addams Family
4 – 9 Feb
Musical Theatre
The quirky family first created by Charles Addams as cartoon characters became famous as a popular television show in the early 1970’s and then as a Hollywood movie in 1991. Here, they are brought back to life on stage in this irreverent sit-com turned musical.
Bare
24 Feb – 2 Mar
Musical Theatre
In allyship with LGBTQ youth, this new version of Bare: A Pop Opera unpicks of the complexity of an institutionalised social landscape and the ways teenagers attempt to navigate it and cope with the pressure to conform and mask their differences.
Blue Stockings
23 – 29 Mar
Acting
Set in 1896 at a Cambridge college, the title refers to the derogatory term for female intellectuals and the campaign for women to be given a formal degree qualification alongside their male colleagues. Touching the feminist ideals of the late nineteenth-century with parallels of today.
