Welcome to a brand new season packed full of entertainment at the Corn Exchange & New Greenham Arts

As the weather turns and the nights draw in, we’re gearing up for our busiest time of year, at the Corn Exchange. During December, we’ll be welcoming more than 20,000 of you through our doors for the highlight of the year, our annual pantomime Aladdin! With all the magic, music and mayhem you’ve come to expect of a Corn Exchange panto, make sure to book your tickets soon as they are flying out the door. As we greet the New Year, we have plenty of shows to help you beat those January blues. Whether it’s a night out with friends at our monthly Jongleurs comedy club, gripping and compulsive drama Grounded, an evening of conversation with the legendary Dame Joan Plowright, BBC folk awards singer of the year Bella Hardy, the ever effervescent Fascinating Aida, a sensational shock night with Britain’s Got Talent finalists Circus of Horrors or an extraordinary collaboration between 2Faced Dance and Frantic Assembly, Dreaming in Code. There’s guaranteed to be something in our live season that will help lift your spirits! And I am delighted to be able to announce that the Corn Exchange will become one of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisations from April 2015. It really is fantastic to have the quality of the work we do recognised in this way, and it’s a huge accolade for the entire Corn Exchange team who have helped to achieve this success. Over the next three years, this funding will be focused on expanding our Get Involved activities, developing our outdoor performance programme (events like our annual community lantern procession on Sunday 14th December) and launching 101 - a unique outdoor arts creation space based at Greenham Common. Make sure you come and visit us soon.

GROUNDED PRESENTED BY GATE THEATRE

Thursday 5 February | 7.45pm | Corn Exchange

My pulse quickens. It is not a fair fight, but it quickens

She’s a hot-rod F16 fighter pilot. She’s pregnant. Her career in the sky is over. Now, she sits in an air-conditioned trailer in Las Vegas flying remote-controlled drones over the Middle East. She struggles through surreal 12-hour shifts far from the battlefield, hunting terrorists by day and being a wife and mother by night. A gripping, compulsive new play that flies from the heights of lyricism to the shallows of workaday existence, and targets our assumptions about war, family, and what it is to be a woman.

Winner - Best Production and Best Design, Off West End Awards. Fringe First award winner 2013.

Tickets £14 (£12 concessions, schools £8)65 minutes (no interval)14+ (strong language, descriptions of scenes of a sexual nature, descriptions of violence)

NURSING LIVES PRESENTED BY VAMOS MASK THEATRE

Wednesday 11 March | 7.45pm | Corn Exchange

A heart-warming wartime tale of bravery and love from the UK’s leading full Mask Theatre Company

When Flo, a feisty seventy-something, learns that the hospital she trained at during the Second World War is being demolished, she decides to take one last look. Her visit becomes a personal celebration of friendship, courage, adventure and romance. But is what Flo remembers the truth, or is history ready to be re-written? Nursing Lives is a love story set in the early 1980s, and takes us back to the hard-working, swing-dancing world of the UK’s wartime hospitals.Like all Vamos Theatre shows, Nursing Lives is wordless, telling its story through physical communication, a strong visual design and an original soundtrack.

STANDPRESENTED BY OXFORD PLAYHOUSE AND CHRIS GOODE & COMPANY

Tuesday 14 April | 7.45pm | Corn Exchange

Real life stories of courage and conscience of people who stood up for something, or someone, they believed in

Was it a split second decision or a cause that’s haunted you? An act of bravery or something ‘anybody would do’? Was it forgotten as quickly as it happened or do you think about it years later? Who did you stand up for and what made you do it?STAND relays the tales of people who have chosen to act for their cause. Six actors tell of moments of bravery from everyday life, where ordinary people did what others didn’t or wouldn’t do. Told verbatim, STAND follows Chris Goode’s previous productions Monkey Bars, Longwave and 9 as a moving, uplifting celebration of the power of humans to change their corner of the world.“A theatre maker of infinite talent and infinite compassion” The Guardian

HD DVDARTIST JETHRO GERMAN28 January – 9 April 2015 | New Greenham Arts Gallery

HD DVD, a solo show from artist Jethro German, is the culmination of a 21-month graduate residency programme at New Greenham Arts. Jethro German’s work takes inspiration from a wide variety of sources, including televised sport, film tropes and news stories. In isolating particular aspects of these forms, German seeks to deconstruct and parody the framework by which we consume and process information, exposing the absurdities that pervade popular culture and the mass media.German regularly uses found imagery in his art, working with a wide variety of media including video, sculpture and print.
