It takes a lot of COURAGE to virtually give theatre tickets away in a recession but Friction Theatre is doing the MOTHER of offers by offering all tickets for its Friday evening performance of Mother Courage and her Children at the Birmingham Old Rep on 9th October for only £5!!!
Kerry Murdock, Artistic Director, explains: “You always hear of offers being given during the week but we want to buck that trend and allow people the chance to start their weekend with a theatre show and leave enough pennies in the purse to go out afterwards. Fridays and Saturdays are usually known for premium prices but we are giving everyone the chance to see a premium performance for a week day rate, what better way to beat the recession blues. The £5 ticket offer is cheaper than the majority of Amateur shows, so the public can get the chance to see a Professional performance at lower than Amateur prices”
Rehearsals are now in their final stages and after weeks of illness and recasting the production in on track to give the National Theatre’s production a run for its money. “We may not have the big budgets and star names like the National but I can assure you we won’t be sending people home at the interval like the London production was forced to do, as they hadn’t finished their technical rehearsals in time; we’re ready and raring to go!” Kerry adds.
To take advantage of the ticket offer visit the national ticket agent The Ticket Factory on www.theticketfactory.com and enter the promotional code ‘Friday Fiver’ or call the ticket hotline on 0844 338 8000.
