Introducing our new matinees designed specifically for schools and colleges

This year we have two exclusive schools and colleges matinees planned for our productions of GREAT EXPECTATIONS and ROMEO & JULIET. These days will include a full day of activities such as workshops, watching the show, cast Q&As and more!

GREAT EXPECTATIONS ( Limited tickets left )

A Royal Exchange Theatre and Tamasha co-production.
By Charles Dickens, adapted by Tanika Gupta,
Directed by Pooja Ghai
8 September – 7 October

This adaptation of a classic by Tanika Gupta is just pure genius. You’ll get to see the familiar Dickens framework, but it comes with a twist.

The schools matinee is on 26 September from 9:30 – 17:30 with a 13:30 show time.


ROMEO & JULIET ( School and College day tickets Sold Out )

A Royal Exchange Theatre production
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Nicholai La Barrie

This contemporary version of Romeo & Juliet is a love-letter to Manchester, a celebration of youth, love and aspiration. A vision of hope in troubled times.

The schools matinee is on 7 November, between 9:30 – 17:30 with a 13:30 show time.
