The Bowie Show
2025-02-04 19:30 - 22:30 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
The Bowie Show is not authorised or endorsed by the Estate of David Bowie, its successors or licensees
A Voyage into the mind of the Rock’n’Roll Alien, a tribute to the life and work of David Bowie
From the alter-ego of Ziggy Stardust, through the dark and desolate years of Berlin, the pure joy of Let’s Dance to the genius of Blackstar, this show takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, transporting you to pasts and futures unknown, a journey that will make you laugh, sing and cry in equal measure.
The production breaks new ground with world class musicians, dancers, elaborate costumes, all choreographed to dramatic landscapes and exquisite, thought-provoking visuals. Combing original twists and unique story telling visions the show pulls all the strands of David Bowie’s fragmented life together, treating audiences of all ages to a night of breath-taking, unexpected and ‘other worldly’ performances.
Exploring the fashion and musical treasure trove of a man who recorded the classic album Hunky Dory at only 23 years of age, this production respectfully curates his legacy and in so doing delivers a kick-ass rock n roll show to boot!
At the beating heart of this sensational new show is an exceptional band performing perhaps the most sonically accurate versions of David Bowie’s greatest records you will ever hear, with one or two surprises mixed in for good measure.
The music has garnered praise from illustrious Bowie alumni including his longest serving bandmate Mike Garson, iconic Bowie producer Ken Scott and the legendary piano man Rick Wakeman.
This show is an absolute must for the “Kooks” and Bowie curious alike and will stay in the memory long after the curtain falls.
Please note: Contains strobe lightning

CULTURE WARS, THE ENVIRONMENT, BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY and SOCIAL JUSTICE: these are just a few of the topics that Jack Dee spectacularly fails to address (or even mention for that matter) in his brand new show. Instead, for reasons known only to him, he doubles down on his fascination with the meaningless small things of life like Zoom protocol, what’s new in the world of radiators and the worst careers advice office in the world.
Join Jack as he guides you through his varied life and career with his customary charm and well known gift for talking absolute rubbish on any given subject.

“So good we thought it was written by a man!”
New Perspectives and Royal & Derngate, Northampton present
(the) Woman
By Jane Upton
M is a writer. M is a mother. M is a woman.
The triumph of M’s hit play is hijacked by motherhood – M is burnt out, angry, lonely, craving intimacy but disengaged, and terrified of the future.
She wants to tell her story, her way. But, everyone around her shares their opinions on who she is, who she should be and how she’s messing everything up.
Fiercely funny and brutally honest, award-winning writer Jane Upton’s Bruntwood Prize shortlisted play shatters the glossy veneer of motherhood, exposing its raw, messy truth, and dares to question the definition of (her) Self.
