Thursday 24 – Saturday 26 July

In this electrifying stage adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, The Courtyard’s Senior Youth Theatre expose the brutal mechanics of power and revolution.

When the animals of Manor Farm overthrow their oppressive owner, they dream of a life of freedom. Little do they know that the pursuit of equality often breeds new forms of tyranny. As the pigs gradually assume leadership, their revolutionary ideals slowly corrupt. Led by the cunning Napoleon, they manipulate language, rewrite history, and betray the revolution’s original principles.

Through razor-sharp performances, this next generation of young talent will go on a gripping exploration of power, corruption and the fragility of hope.

Animal Farm speaks to the heart of today’s world, where promises of change can quickly turn into a cycle of manipulation and control.

A daring, thought-provoking modern retelling that will leave you questioning who holds the reins in a society that claims to be free…

Courtyard Productions Present
Wuthering Heights
By Emily Bronte
Directed by David Durant

Thursday 2 – Saturday 4 October

Love turns savage on the Yorkshire moors.

Passion, obsession, and revenge collide in this fierce new staging of Emily Brontë’s masterpiece. Watch as Heathcliff and Cathy’s devastating love story ignites the stage, brought to life by a unique ensemble of professional actors performing alongside the brightest talents from our local community and Youth Theatre.

When a mysterious orphan boy is taken in by the Earnshaw family, no one could predict how his intense connection with young Cathy would unleash decades of passion, betrayal, and vengeance. Their destructive love affair haunts two generations, poisoning everyone it touches. As storms rage across the moors, dark secrets surface, and long-buried emotions explode into life.

This daring new production cuts straight to the heart of Brontë’s gothic masterpiece, revealing its raw power. Our exceptional cast blends seasoned professionals with fresh local talent to create something truly unique – a Wuthering Heights for today’s audience that captures all the wild spirit of the original.

Some loves burn too hot to survive. Some stories refuse to die.

Join us for a theatrical storm you won’t forget.
