Party Season

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

PAY WHAT YOU CAN: Join us for the Relaxed performance on Saturday 11 April at 2.30pm. A great option for parents, with babes in arms welcome, and a more informal atmosphere designed to help audiences feel comfortable. Relaxed performances are open to everyone. Three parties. One weekend. The invitations have been sent and there’s no going back…it’s Party Season! Xander is back in town, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other. As ancient grudges rear their heads, the tension rises like a helium balloon. Caught between who he was and who he’s supposed to be, Xander must decide whether he’s going to grow up or just pass the parcel. From the multi-award-winning creators of Education, Education, Education and The Last Of The Pelican Daughters comes a sugar-fuelled, bobbin-winding fever dream where class identities collide, social niceties unravel, and underslept parents do their best to hold it all together. Party Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege, party rings and the pressures of being a parent. RSVP! A Royal & Derngate, Northampton, Wardrobe Ensemble and Lowry co-production Audience Notices: This production contains Strong Language,...

Mythos: Ragnarök

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

Famously dubbed the “maddest, baddest show” of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival by the Daily Mail, this groundbreaking cult-classic adaptation of ancient Norse mythology is finally touring the UK! Spend Easter Saturday with Thor, Loki, Freyja and the Norse Gods (all played by pro wrestlers!) as they try to put their differences aside to build a new world and avoid a prophecy of imending doom. Part hilarious ancient storytelling and part high-octane extravaganza, The Telegraph calls this unique theatrical experience “a knockout spectacle” and “the perfect way to tell this story”. Best of all, the Derngate’s unique 360 degree stage means you’ll be close to the action wherever you sit! One of the UK’s best examples of fierce independent theatre, Mythos: Ragnarök is written, produced and funded by the same actors who perform it. You don’t need to know or like anything about the subject matter to understand and adore the show, or appreciate the sheer passion and ability of the performers – doing something that has never, ever been done before in theatre. ★★★★★ “Sets the bar high for theatre as we know it” – Broadway Baby ★★★★★ “Pro wrestling’s natural evolution…it is masterful.” – One4Review ★★★★ “An exceptional show” – Broadway World Save...

Harry Enfield: And No Chums!

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

Join us for a rare and entertaining evening with legendary satirical comedian and self-styled “stupid idiot”, Harry Enfield. From the meteoric rise of Loadsamoney, a Thatcherite Visionary, to the fury of Kevin the Teenager, Harry will reflect on 40 years of arsing about in comedy and bring some of his favourite characters vividly back to life on stage. Then it’s over to your questions: your chance to ask how it all works for him, what he’s most proud of, and what he says to the many who ask, “You wouldn’t be allowed to do your stuff today, would you?” Don’t miss an unforgettable evening with a brilliantly silly and strikingly insightful comedian.

The naughtiest, funniest, most revolting science show in the world. Brace yourselves for BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates’ revolutionary, high-tech, highly-explosive new show, packed with outrageous science stunts.

Expect enormous bottoms, f*rt machines, snot cocktails, vast whoopee cushions, pee-powered fireworks and ear-wax-oozing mannequins in this celebration of the fascinating bodily science essential to life. The show transforms complex biology, physics and chemistry into educational hilarity using Stef’s signature stunts and encyclopaedic science knowledge. Stefan Gates is an award-winning presenter of 20 TV series (including five for CBBC including Incredible Edibles, Gastrolab and Gastronuts),and a STEM author of 12 books (including Fartology and Science You Can Eat), and he’s internationally renowned for his clever, high-octane, highly-educational stage shows that inspire young audiences to fall in love with science. Both shows are followed by a 40mins post-show meet and greet and photo opportunity with Stefan Content Warning: Loud bangs, audience participation, latex balloons, stage fog.
