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,...
