Parents The society believes it to be important that there is a partnership between parents and the society. Parents/guardians are encouraged to be involved in the activities of the society and to share responsibility for the care of children. All parents will be given a copy the society's Child Protection Policy and procedures .All parents/guardians have the responsibility to collect (or arrange collection of) their children after rehearsals or performances. It is NOT the responsibility of the society to take children home. Unsupervised Contact The society will attempt to ensure that no adult has unsupervised contact with children. If possible there will always be two adults in the room when working with children. If unsupervised contact is unavoidable, steps will be taken to minimize risk. For example, work will be carried out in a public area or in a designated room with a door open. If it is predicted that an individual is likely to require unsupervised contact with children, he or she may be required to obtain a criminal record disclosure. Physical Contact All adults will maintain a safe and appropriate distance from children. Adults will only touch children when it is absolutely necessary in relation to the particular activity. Adults will seek the consent of the child prior to any physical contact and the purpose of the contact shall be made clear. Managing sensitive information The society has a policy and procedures for the taking, using and storage of photographs or images of children. Permission will be sought from the parents/guardians for use of photographic material featuring children for promotional or other purposes. The society’s web-based materials and activities will be carefully monitored for inappropriate use. The society will ensure confidentiality in order to protect the rights of its members, including the safe handling, storage and disposal of any sensitive information such as criminal record disclosures. Suspicion of abuse If you see or suspect abuse of a child while in the care of the society, please make this known to the person with responsibility for child protection. If you suspect that the person with responsibility for child protection is the source of the problem, you should make your concerns known to the Chairman. Please make a note for your own records of what you witnessed as well as your response, in case there is follow-up in which you are involved. If a serious allegation is made against any member of the society, chaperone, venue staff etc., that individual will be suspended immediately until the investigation is concluded. The individual will be excluded from the theatre; rehearsal rooms etc. and will not have any unsupervised contact with any other children in the production. Disclosure of abuse If a child confides in you that abuse has taken place: Remain calm and in control but do not delay taking action. Listen carefully to what has been said. Allow the child to tell you at their own pace and ask questions only for clarification. Don’t ask questions that suggest a particular answer. Don’t promise to keep it a secret. Use the first opportunity you have to share the information with the person with responsibility for child protection. Make it clear to the child that you will need to share this information with others. Make it clear that you will only tell the people who need to know and who should be able to help. Reassure the child that they did the right thing in telling someone. Tell the child what you are going to do next. Speak immediately to the person with responsibility for child protection. It is that person’s responsibility to liaise with the relevant authorities, usually social services or the police. As soon as possible after the disclosing conversation, make a note of what was said, using the child’s own words. Note the date, time, any names that were involved or mentioned, and who you gave the information to. Make sure you sign and date your record. Recording In all situations, including those in which the cause of concern arises from a disclosure made in confidence, the details of an allegation or reported incident will be recorded, regardless of whether or not the concerns have been shared with a statutory child protection agency. An accurate note shall be made of the date and time of the incident or disclosure, the parties involved, what was said or done and by whom, any action taken to investigate the matter, any further action taken e.g. suspension of an individual, where relevant the reasons why the matter was not referred to a statutory agency, and the name of the persons reporting and to whom it was reported. The record will be stored securely and shared only with those who need to know about the incident or allegation. Rights & Confidentiality If a complaint is made against a member of the society he or she will be made aware of their rights under the society's disciplinary procedures. No matter how you may feel about the accusation, both the alleged abuser and the child who is thought to have been abused have the right to confidentiality under the Data Protection Act 1998. Remember also that any possible criminal investigation could be compromised through inappropriate information being released. In criminal law the Crown or other prosecuting authority has to prove guilt and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Accidents To avoid accidents, chaperones and children will be advised of ‘house rules’ regarding health and safety and will be notified of areas that are out of bounds. Children will be advised of the clothing and footwear appropriate to the work that will be undertaken. If a child is injured while in the care of the society, a designated first-aider should administer first aid and the injury will be recorded in the society’s accident book. This record will be counter-signed by the person with responsibility for child protection. If a child joins the production with an obvious physical injury a record of this will be made in the accident book. This record will be counter-signed by the person with responsibility for child protection. Criminal Record Disclosures If the society believes it in is in its best interests to obtain criminal record disclosures for chaperones or other personnel it will inform the individual of the necessary procedures and the level of disclosure required. An Enhanced disclosure will be required. The society will have a written code of practice for the handling of disclosure information and aim to prevent misuse. Chaperones Chaperones will be appointed by the society/appointed persons for the care of children during the production process. By law the chaperone is acting in loco parentis and should exercise the care which a good parent/guardian might be reasonably expected to give to a child. The maximum number of children in the chaperone’s care shall not exceed 12. Potential chaperones may be required to supply photographic proof of identity and two references from individuals with knowledge of their previous work with children, unless already well known to the society. They may also be asked to sign a declaration stating that there is no reason why they would be considered unsuitable to work with children. Chaperones will be made aware of the society’s Child Protection Policy and Procedures. Where chaperones are not satisfied with the conditions for the children, they should bring this to the attention of the director/stage manager. If changes cannot be made satisfactorily the chaperone should consider not allowing the child to continue. If a chaperone considers that a child is unwell or too tired to continue, the chaperone must inform the director/stage manager and not allow the child to continue. No child of compulsory school age is permitted to do anything which may endanger life or limb. This could include working on wires or heavy lifting. Chaperones should tell the director/stage manager to cease using children in this way, and should contact the local authority. During performances, chaperones will be responsible for meeting children at the stage door and signing them into the building. Children will be kept together at all times except when using separate dressing rooms. Chaperones will be aware of where the children are at all times. Children are not to leave the theatre unsupervised by chaperones unless in the company of their parents/guardians. Children will be adequately supervised while going to and from the toilets. Children will not be allowed to enter the adult dressing rooms. Chaperones should be aware of the safety arrangements and first aid procedures in the venue, and will ensure that children in their care do not place themselves and others in danger. Chaperones should ensure that any accidents are reported to and recorded by the society. Chaperones should examine accident books each day. If an accident has occurred, the producer is not allowed to use that child until a medically qualified opinion has been obtained (not just the word of the parent or child). Chaperones should have written arrangements for children after performances. If someone different is to collect the child, a telephone call should be made to the parent/guardian to confirm the arrangements. Children should be signed out when leaving and a record made of the person collecting. If a parent has not collected the child, it is the duty of the chaperone to stay with that child or make arrangements to take them home. This policy is applicable to and focuses on, children of compulsory school age and below. A child is required to attend school unless they are over the age of 16 on 31st of August, or until the last Friday in June after their 16th birthday. Join our mailing list Subscribe

To soothe, clean and cook for Jo is Geoff, an effeminate art student, with whom she makes a temporary home. Bruised by insensitivity and rejection, the boy and girl find a very real comfort in each other. A stunning portrayal of the complex bond between a mother and daughter, who – despite their sharp bickering – are both holding on for that taste of honey. This iconic play is a sharply observed portrait of working-class life in Salford in the late 1950s.

Return to Productions Archive Garrick Production House of Ghosts Calling all Morse fans and super sleuths Ran May 23, 2022 - May 28, 2022 Age guidance Venue Running time Tickets Price Range Description Directed by Mike Shaw Oxford, 1987, and a young actress playing Shakespeare’s doomed heroine Ophelia ends up dying on-stage during a theatrical production of Hamlet. A “suspicious death” inquiry is opened, but when a suspect in the case is also murdered, veteran police Inspector Morse becomes convinced the two deaths are related to the strange events of a similar student production from 1962, one that he himself was a part of… Morse faces dark memories and suspects in a theatrical murder mystery by Alma Cullen. Reviews Review from Rick Bowen at Stagestruck WHEN I discovered John Thaw was to play another TV detective I expected him to be something like Jack Regan, who I idolised as a child when I sat glued to The Sweeney in the 70’s. This was a man straight out of the boot in the door and ask questions later school of policing. But Inspector Morse was a world away from the much loved maverick from the Flying Squad, cultured, considered, cerebral and with a deep seated love of classical music. It takes a lot of guts and no amount of talent to play a character so inextricably linked with an acting icon like Thaw. But Jonathan Black certainly succeeds here and doesn’t try to impersonate the late stage and screen great. Black has quite a presence and the way he reprimands his sidekick Sergeant Lewis for his verbal faux pas is genuinely funny. Andrew Higson plays the part perfectly and the chemistry between the two very different men certainly comes across. The duo are asked to investigate the dubious death of a young actress playing Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. All of a sudden the company finds itself embroiled in a real life tragedy as fingers of suspicion are pointed and cupboards release their skeletons. I’ve seen Sarat Broughton in countless productions at the Garrick and her performance as Ellen Underwood is her best yet and Jacque Hamilton also impressed me as the old soak actress Verity Carr, an actress who has been there, done it and bought enough t-shirts to open her own t-shirt shop. My only criticism of Alma Cullen’s play is it is something of a slow burner in places. But this in an engrossing and intriguing tale all the same. Who can resist the chance to play detective? Until May 28. Tickets are available from 0161 928 1677 or www.altrinchamgarrick.co.uk . Star rating 3.5/5.

Disclosure of abuse If a child confides in you that abuse has taken place: Remain calm and in control but do not delay taking action. Listen carefully to what has been said. Allow the child to tell you at their own pace and ask questions only for clarification. Don’t ask questions that suggest a particular answer. Don’t promise to keep it a secret. Use the first opportunity you have to share the information with the person with responsibility for child protection. Make it clear to the child that you will need to share this information with others. Make it clear that you will only tell the people who need to know and who should be able to help. Reassure the child that they did the right thing in telling someone. Tell the child what you are going to do next. Speak immediately to the person with responsibility for child protection. It is that person’s responsibility to liaise with the relevant authorities, usually social services or the police. As soon as possible after the disclosing conversation, make a note of what was said, using the child’s own words. Note the date, time, any names that were involved or mentioned, and who you gave the information to. Make sure you sign and date your record. Recording In all situations, including those in which the cause of concern arises from a disclosure made in confidence, the details of an allegation or reported incident will be recorded, regardless of whether or not the concerns have been shared with a statutory child protection agency. An accurate note shall be made of the date and time of the incident or disclosure, the parties involved, what was said or done and by whom, any action taken to investigate the matter, any further action taken e.g. suspension of an individual, where relevant the reasons why the matter was not referred to a statutory agency, and the name of the persons reporting and to whom it was reported. The record will be stored securely and shared only with those who need to know about the incident or allegation. Rights & Confidentiality If a complaint is made against a member of the society he or she will be made aware of their rights under the society's disciplinary procedures. No matter how you may feel about the accusation, both the alleged abuser and the child who is thought to have been abused have the right to confidentiality under the Data Protection Act 1998. Remember also that any possible criminal investigation could be compromised through inappropriate information being released. In criminal law the Crown or other prosecuting authority has to prove guilt and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Accidents To avoid accidents, chaperones and children will be advised of ‘house rules’ regarding health and safety and will be notified of areas that are out of bounds. Children will be advised of the clothing and footwear appropriate to the work that will be undertaken. If a child is injured while in the care of the society, a designated first-aider should administer first aid and the injury will be recorded in the society’s accident book. This record will be counter-signed by the person with responsibility for child protection. If a child joins the production with an obvious physical injury a record of this will be made in the accident book. This record will be counter-signed by the person with responsibility for child protection. Criminal Record Disclosures If the society believes it in is in its best interests to obtain criminal record disclosures for chaperones or other personnel it will inform the individual of the necessary procedures and the level of disclosure required. An Enhanced disclosure will be required. The society will have a written code of practice for the handling of disclosure information and aim to prevent misuse. Chaperones Chaperones will be appointed by the society/appointed persons for the care of children during the production process. By law the chaperone is acting in loco parentis and should exercise the care which a good parent/guardian might be reasonably expected to give to a child. The maximum number of children in the chaperone’s care shall not exceed 12. Potential chaperones may be required to supply photographic proof of identity and two references from individuals with knowledge of their previous work with children, unless already well known to the society. They may also be asked to sign a declaration stating that there is no reason why they would be considered unsuitable to work with children. Chaperones will be made aware of the society’s Child Protection Policy and Procedures. Where chaperones are not satisfied with the conditions for the children, they should bring this to the attention of the director/stage manager. If changes cannot be made satisfactorily the chaperone should consider not allowing the child to continue. If a chaperone considers that a child is unwell or too tired to continue, the chaperone must inform the director/stage manager and not allow the child to continue. No child of compulsory school age is permitted to do anything which may endanger life or limb. This could include working on wires or heavy lifting. Chaperones should tell the director/stage manager to cease using children in this way, and should contact the local authority. During performances, chaperones will be responsible for meeting children at the stage door and signing them into the building. Children will be kept together at all times except when using separate dressing rooms. Chaperones will be aware of where the children are at all times. Children are not to leave the theatre unsupervised by chaperones unless in the company of their parents/guardians. Children will be adequately supervised while going to and from the toilets. Children will not be allowed to enter the adult dressing rooms. Chaperones should be aware of the safety arrangements and first aid procedures in the venue, and will ensure that children in their care do not place themselves and others in danger. Chaperones should ensure that any accidents are reported to and recorded by the society. Chaperones should examine accident books each day. If an accident has occurred, the producer is not allowed to use that child until a medically qualified opinion has been obtained (not just the word of the parent or child). Chaperones should have written arrangements for children after performances. If someone different is to collect the child, a telephone call should be made to the parent/guardian to confirm the arrangements. Children should be signed out when leaving and a record made of the person collecting. If a parent has not collected the child, it is the duty of the chaperone to stay with that child or make arrangements to take them home. This policy is applicable to and focuses on, children of compulsory school age and below. A child is required to attend school unless they are over the age of 16 on 31st of August, or until the last Friday in June after their 16th birthday. Join our mailing list Subscribe

As dawn breaks, Maggie is heating some milk and Gary wonders what she’s doing out of bed. Maybe it’s time for an honest conversation – but how much honesty can this marriage take? Their unhappiness, questions about the direction of their lives, their years together, and what they actually still want from life. It is all about to come out. Is this the beginning of the end, or is it just the middle? Middle is a truthful, moving and funny portrait of a forty-something couple whose marriage hangs in the balance, with all the beauty, awkwardness and honesty of real life. This is the second of three plays by David Eldridge. Beginning, Middle, and most recently, End make up a fascinating trilogy exploring love and relationships. End has just recently finished a successful, sell-out run at the National Theatre.

Return to Productions Archive Garrick Productions When We Are Married Ran Oct 8, 2007 - Oct 13, 2007 Age guidance Venue Running time Tickets Price Range Description The hilarious tale of three middle-aged Yorkshire couples (pillars of the community) who are celebrating their joint silver weddings. In the midst of the celebrations arrives the chapel organist with some very disturbing news concerning the validity of their marriages. An evening of home-truths, recriminations and mayhem ensues. Reviews Sale & Altrincham Messenger's Review by Rick Bowen Till death do us part Isn't it funny, how your memory plays tricks on you. I arrived at Altrincham Garrick expecting not to enjoy 'When We Are Married' and left feeling well and truly entertained. Even though I've seen the play several times I thought, for some reason, that it was old hat. And yet, although society's rules have changed, it's remarkable how fresh and sprightly Priestley's dialogue still sounds today. He certainly has a way with words, does our JB. Three couples, all pillars of the Yorkshire community in which they live, have their lives turned upside down when they discover, to their horror, that their marriage certificates aren't worth the paper they're written on. Throw into the comedy mix a newspaper photographer whose world is permanently out of focus as a result of his penchant for the booze and a hard as nails housekeeper who's out to line her own pockets and you have the recipe for an evening of good, clean fun. You could take granny to see this, as there's nothing to offend. Maureen Casket's production zips along and the director makes sure her cast, one of the strongest ensembles seen at the Garrick this season, doesn't waste a word of Priestley's often witty script. Geoff Noar treats us to a brilliant piece of character acting as the pie eyed photographer Henry Ormonroyd and Julie Broadbent is really good as Ruby the maid. It's probably unfair to single out individuals because, to borrow a phrase from the world of sport, this is a great team performance. What I liked about this play is that the characters are real people and not shallow, plumy voiced, middle class twits getting their knickers in a twist over their potential loss of face. Indeed, had Priestley set the piece among the chattering classes it probably would have been a complete turn off. These are people who have pulled themselves up by their own boot straps and got on in life. Margaret Norris has designed a sumptuous set - a perfect backdrop for a perfect evening in the theatre. When We Are Married may have received its world premiere in the 1930's, but there's no sign of any wrinkles in this production. Enjoy. Star Rating ★★★★ M.E.N.'s Review by Julia Taylor I HAVE never, as a journalist, come across a photographer who got drunk on duty. But who can blame Henry Ormonroyd for having one too many in this classic comedy at the Garrick Theatre. After all, he has to snap three anxious couples who, after 25 years together, discover they are not legally married! Even when squiffy, Henry is a philosopher. If God had intended men to wear collars he would have put collar studs in their necks!?, he announces in his slurred way. Geoff Noar is an inspired choice for this part - character parts are his forte. J.B.Priestley's comedy was first performed in 1938 at the Manchester Opera House, six years after the Garrick opened, yet, even now when there is no longer a taboo about "living in sin", people still enjoy seeing the pompous floored. Indeed, the audience on Monday night liked it more than most. Their applause at the end was deafening. The dilemma of the three respectable couples is conveyed with well observed Yorkshire accents. They contrast with the 'lah-di-dah' voice of Gerald Forbes, (Nick Curror) the church organist who breaks the news that they are not technically wed. The hosts of the joint silver wedding party are Alderman Helliwell and his society wife, Maria (Alison Davis). How proudly David Gonet's Helliwell flaunts his local eminence and how amusing both verbally and facially is his reaction to his downfall. The other two couples, the Parkers and the Soppitts, appear to be enjoying married bliss but, when the ties are apparently cut, they express their real feelings. Mike Shaw's Councillor Albert Parker is selfish, conceited, and above all 'stingy' treating his long-suffering wife Annie (Margaret Leslie) with contempt. She appears unconcerned but, my, how she changes when released from wedlock. The situation is reversed with the Soppitts. It is the husband, Herbert, (Bill Platt) who is downtrodden and his wife, Clara (Janet Slade) who has the upper hand. Bill and Janet give first class performances when Herbert finds his voice and Clara is placed under his newly found firm thumb. The play brims with gentle humour particularly when Dawn Flint's raunchy Lottie upsets the apple cart even further. I like the way Priestley plans the stage appearances of the men, women and couples at different times enabling us to understand their motives. The ending, like the final bars of a symphony reaches a well-rounded crescendo and Henry Ormonroyd finally gets his explosive photo!

Eight Chances. One Singular Sensation. New York City. 1975. On an empty Broadway stage, seventeen performers are put through their paces in the final, gruelling audition for a new Broadway musical.

Glittering costumes in the finale brought that Broadway dazzle, and the audience responded with thunderous applause and cheers. Louise Pettitt’s choreography deserves high praise. Every number was tight, synchronised, and visually stunning". "The musical backbone of the show came from Mark Goggins and his 14-piece live band, who played with energy, precision, and flair."

Return to Productions Archive Garrick Production RELAXED PERFORMANCE of Goldilocks & The Three Bears A rip-ROARing Panto FUR all the Family! Ran Dec 13, 2025 Age guidance 3+ Venue Main House Running time Tickets Price Range £15 - £19 Description WHAT IS A RELAXED PERFORMANCE? If you are a parent, guardian, or work with people with learning or sensory disabilities – such as those on the autism spectrum – you’ll know how difficult it can sometimes be for them to attend regular theatre performances; loud noises, lighting effects and large crowds can make stage shows overwhelming. At Altrincham Garrick Playhouse, we believe that everyone should be able to experience the magic and wonder of live theatre, and our Relaxed Performance of Goldilocks and the Three Bears will provide the same fantastical Pantomime but with an atmosphere and attitude in the auditorium that makes everyone feel comfortable and safe. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR RELAXED PERFORMANCE: At a Relaxed Performed, you are free to: - Come and go from the auditorium as you wish, even during the show - Express yourself as loudly as you like, or with physical movement, without judgement - Access the Theatre and auditorium early. You’ll also notice that we will reduce the sound and lighting to lessen sensory overload, and no pyrotechnics or loud bangs will appear in the performance.

Ran May 24, 2026 Age guidance Fun for all the family. No age limit but at parental/guardian discretion for little ones who might get scared easily. Aimed at parents of 4 - 8 year olds but lot’s of ages attend the show. Venue Main House Running time 1 hour Tickets Price Range £17 - £20 Description The Greatest Prehistoric Show on Earth – A Roaring Success for Dino-Fans of All Ages - Now in its 5th year! 65 million years in the making… Dinosaur Adventure Live brings an electrifying fusion of family-friendly storytelling, stunning puppetry, and roarsome science that brings the ancient world of dinosaurs crashing back to life. From a shadowy raptor on the loose to baby dinos you can feed (carefully!), every twist in the plot brings gasps, giggles, and the occasional jump-scare from the youngest audience members. Created by the imaginative mind of Mike Newman (Exciting Science ), the show blends humour, thrills, and hands-on learning into an interactive stage experience that had children squealing with delight and parents beaming from ear to ear. The production excels in engaging its audience - not just with its storytelling, but through physical interactivity. Children are encouraged to stomp, roar, and swish their tails along with the action. And when the T-Rex finally bursts onto the stage in a heart-pounding finale… well you’ll have to find out! Beyond the action, the show shines in its educational moments. With fascinating “Dino-Facts” sprinkled throughout, kids learn real paleontological tidbits without even realizing they’re being taught. And with such high-energy delivery, not a single eye wandered. Whether your child is dinosaur-obsessed or just loves a good adventure, Danger on T-Rex Mountain is an absolute must-see. It's immersive, interactive, and hilariously entertaining—with just enough “scary” to keep the grown-ups entertained too.
