ARTISTIC POLICY
Northern Stage is a home for theatre in the North East of England which produces inventive reinterpretations of classics, new international writing and magical productions for children and families.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'A quirky but thought-provoking tale which is a real inspiration… The play proves learning is fun; there are plenty of opportunities for the audience to shout out, laugh, and join in.' Evening Chronicle, Newcastle (How The Sea Came To Be)

'With an ensemble whose characterisation is unassailable, including a handful of Geordie disciples, Whyman captures the wry humour as much as the pathos of the drama… Not a comfortable evening, this Son of Man is never less than riveting - a powerful leap of faith for Northern Stage.' The Independent

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Son of Man Dennis Potter’s provocative retelling of the story of Jesus is powerful and timely, asking searching questions about faith, and war and peace in the Middle East. Potter paints a picture of Jesus the man, battling with his doubts and enraged by injustice, and asks whether it is really possible for any of us to love our enemy. An imaginative and moving production of an epic drama. Directed by Erica Whyman, designed by Soutra Gilmour, music by Gilad Atzmon. (145 mins plus interval, 14 on stage, 17 on the road)

Thumbelina A new adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy story, designed for children aged six years and under and their families. A delightful tale of excitement and courage which charts the adventures of a little girl who is only 4.5cm tall. (55 mins no interval, 4 on stage, 1 on the road)

Theoretical and practical workshops for all ages, participatory performance projects with young adults, pre-/post-show discussions.
