Northampton High School: A Retrospective 2025

78 Derngate Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1UH

We are delighted to be hosting a joint venture with Northampton High School throughout February in our Bassett-Lowke Rooms and Mezzanine Galleries. The collaboration showcases our deep connections with the school's heritage. The diverse array of works on display have been created by alumnae students, most of whom studied A level Art and Textiles in recent years. All concepts shown are highly personal and it gives both the school and us - as host - real pleasure in curating selected pieces from the archive alongside works from the Class of 2024. The show provides a retrospective celebration of the girls' creative achievements within a space brimming with the school's history. It’s a truly glorious reflection of unique talent of the future! Free Entry and some works for sale, ends on Friday February 28th   www.78derngate.org.uk

Tom Stade: Risky Business

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Tom’s funny and today’s funny don’t always see eye to eye, but that’s cool; it’s not Tom’s way to follow the herd. He much prefers to take the path less travelled (some smart guy once said that). Join this independent spirit and irrepressible force of nature, as he airdrops his ingenious and unflinching comedy into an ever-changing minefield. It’s a risky business navigating the tightrope of today’s times but Tom’s approaching it with his usual gusto. Without risk there is no reward.

Saba’s Swim

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Seven months ago, Saba walked out of her GCSE mocks and didn’t come back. Her friends don’t understand why. Now, on prom night, Saba’s finally made contact, challenging her friends to track her down via a series of cryptic clues. But when the friends are finally reunited, Saba is different. The way she sees the world has changed. And what she’s asking of her friends… is it more than they can give? This new play written by Danusia Samal, directed by Anna Simpson, and performed by the Royal & Derngate Young Company, asks probing questions about the responsibility of the individual in a troubled globalised world, as well as growing up, growing apart, and how far should you go for what you think is right. The Young Company will also be performing Saba’s Swim as part of the National Theatre Connections Festival.
