Shakespeare Scratch Night

If you are a performer, why not come along to meet our team and explore how the Grand Opera House might be able to support your work.

Performances include:

Conceal Me What I Am by Livy Potter

A feminist exploration of the character of Viola in Twelfth Night, with themes of disguise, gender and what it means to be a woman in a male-dominated society.

The Maddening of Macbeth by Ann Morgan

Two friends emerge from a theatre leading to a discussion on female representation within Shakespeare's writing and how Macbeth might have played out differently.

Dog Daze by Morag Galloway

This is a one-woman piece of music theatre taking inspiration from soliloquies in Measure for Measure and Macbeth.

Ingestion of guilt by Nicky Murmann

The performance explores the play Titus Andronicus with a rewriting of Lavina's characters, creating a new dialogue between Titus and Aaron through queer bodies and voices.

Stage doors will open at 6pm and close at 6:30pm.

Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
