Roll up! Roll up! When it feels like the world is against you, and nobody seems to understand, the circus is in town to lend you a hand! Come one, come all, and meet Charli and Harley, two siblings living in very different worlds who just want to understand each other. When Harley makes her autistic sibling Charli feel like a fool, our circus is here to reveal the truth. This magical mystery tour takes you on an emotional journey into the autistic mind, although we can’t promise there won’t be any clowning around!
This performance is suitable for all ages. Contains audience interaction.

by Cristiana Balodis, Corban Bewley, Ntungane Mwungura, Alfie Naylor, Osian Parry, Rose Pennington, Paolo Sergi, Imogen Spence, Morgan Thompson, Philippa Wilbraham. Directed by Teresa Brayshaw
What is a conversation? A live exchange, a verbal sharing? Or a chance to express yourself, to say what you want to say and only to listen when the truth is being spoken.
10 players are waiting for the whistle, ready with the words, the lines, the arguments, waiting for the talking to start, waiting for the beat to drop.
A Conversation in 10 Parts is a high energy game of words, an attempt to prove why theatre is more than just somewhere for things to be said, why theatre itself is a conversation.
Warning: Suitable for ages 16+.
The performance will contain:
Strong language
Audience interaction
AGE RESTRICTIONS
Please note that A Conversation in 10 Parts is an 16+ age rating. If you are under the age restriction for this show, you will not be able to watch that respective performance. This is due to University safeguarding guidelines.
Am I Right, Am I Wrong?
by Romeo Voda, Ethan Dharey, Caitlin Elliott, Jack Ellison, Declan Murphy, Alfie Randell, Kira Roscoe, Will Slack, Millie Suiter, Alex Ross, Directed by Mole Wetherell
In the beginning there was our earth. In the beginning there was a cycle. All made sense until humans arrived. We copied. Copied. Copied again. We listened to the same song over 100 times. It was the Same As It Ever Was. It all continued until it merged into one. Is this truly our home anymore? Do we still fit in here?
This performance is suitable for all.
The performance will contain:
Emotional Triggers (Existential Crisis)
ADMISSION: Pay What You Can.
Pay What You Can is an ‘honesty box’ for the theatre. We and the artists will continue to programme and produce high quality events and ask you to pay what you can afford.
As a guide, for those in full time employment we would appreciate you paying between £8 to £10. We also understand people’s income can be precarious, hence the lower price options. All revenue from ticket sales for events at New Adelphi Theatre will always go back to support professional artists, through residencies, commissions, touring work or for more bespoke projects where the student experience is enhanced through co-creation with arts professionals. We thank you for all your continued support.
Please note all bookings and donations come with a 50p booking fee. Please note that all tickets are for unallocated seating.
