‘Pour yourself a cup of ambition’ and book your tickets, as DULOG meets Dolly Parton in this hilarious and heart-warming tale of friendship, female empowerment and fighting for what’s right!

Based on the classic comedy film from 1980, ‘9 to 5: The Musical’ follows a trio of hard-working women and firm friends who, fed up with slaving away for their sexist, self-absorbed boss, plan to put him through a little office payback… With its cast of witty and wise-cracking characters, spunkily subversive message of standing up against The Man, and a pitch-perfect country-pop score by the iconic Dolly Parton, DULOG kickstarts its 75th anniversary year in style with this fun and feisty musical – ‘enough to drive you crazy if you let it!’

This adaptation of 1984 reimagines Winston Smith's reconstruction, where he is forced to re-enact key moments of his life and his 'thoughtcrimes' with the help of others convicted.

The show reimagines sex and romantic relationships through a dystopian lens, using the relationship between Julia and Winston as its focal point (especially in act one). The script uses a lot of Orwell's original dialogue and so in many ways remains true to the novel, whilst incorporating this new metatheatrical twist.

Sondheim's cult classic 'Merrily We Roll Along' traces the life of wealthy, jaded composer Franklin Shepard and his two estranged friends through each milestone of their lives – in reverse!

Woodplayers are delighted to present our Michaelmas musical, ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ by the legendary Stephen Sondheim.

'Merrily We Roll Along' begins in 1976 and moves backwards, tracing the rise to stardom of successful yet cynical composer Franklin Shepard, alongside his two estranged friends. The musical follows each milestone of their personal and professional lives in reverse, ending with a touch of rueful irony, as the friends at the start of their careers face a bright future: young, talented and enthusiastic about the world waiting to be conquered. A revered musical classic, this production is not to be missed...

Walkabout returns with an innovative, thrilling, immersive take on the beloved Dickens classic, beating their record for the UK’s largest work of immersive student theatre.

On a chilly winter’s day, you come to an auction of historical artefacts, including an original copy of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”. This is no ordinary book; it is filled with imagination, memories and a rather spritely spirit. Suddenly you’re sucked into the carol, and witness the hauntings and festivities, shocks and merriment, singing and dancing, tears and laughter, people and ghosts that make this tale one of the greatest ever told. Like Scrooge, you must decide how this tale will impact your decisions about the past, present and future.

The concert will take you on a tour celebrating European national identity. From the tone poems of Sibelius’ Finlandia and Smetana’s Vltava, to the Russian folklore of Borodin’s Symphony No. 2.

Our Michaelmas concert will take you on a tour of Europe with a programme of music celebrating national identity. Sibelius’ Finlandia and Smetana’s Vltava are tone poems which evoke vast and majestic landscapes as symbols of national pride. We will also play Holmes’ Irlande, another symphonic poem which calls for political freedom. Our concert will conclude with Borodin’s Second Symphony, generally regarded as his best work and a foundation stone of the Russian symphonic sound as it weaves elements of Russian folklore with Western Romanticism.
