Amateur Cabernet

Magda, My Dear

Welcome to Theatre Upstairs at the Globe, Devon's only pub theatre and a uniquely intimate space to see theatre in Exeter. This year we celebrate our fourth birthday and have a bumper year of events planned for you. We see new writing make a welcome return to the programme with plays by award winning Devon playwrights Hannah Ashwell and Helena Enright, the long awaited appearance of Shakespeare at the Globe as a new Bath based company visits with Taming of the Shrew and in February our celebrations begin with a brand new comedy show Amateur Cabernet. We hope you'll be able to join us and thank you for your support over the years. Here's to many more!

Theatre Upstairs thinks you all deserve a jolly good laugh and a night of fun to take you away from all this economic gloom. Amateur Cabernet is the new comedy show spawned from creative machinations of talented Exeter based performers Jon Nash, Sam Morris, Beno Hill, Stephanie Green and Madeleine Vose and promises to delight audiences in yet another incarnation of the space Upstairs. Introducing instant comedy classics such as Health and Safety Team: Crack Squad and the live media streaming of Jon's Journey Home in a cabaret setting, we're confident you'll enjoy the show so much that the strangers at the table nearest you will become your lifelong friends!!!!

Suitable for ages 14+

We're delighted to be collaborating with talented Devon playwright Hannah Ashwell once again after Show Me Goodbye touched audiences at Theatre Upstairs back in 2006. Hannah went on to win Warehouse Theatre's new playwriting festival in 2006 and now returns to Exeter with her new play - Magda, My Dear - a compelling narrative that explores the life of Magda Goebbels and her journey to the ultimate conclusion of her Nazi ideals. As is to be expected of Ashwell's fearless style, Magda, My Dear sheds new light on a moment in history that continues to captivate with its horror. This ScriptunScript production is the first of three new plays this year by Devon based writers.

Suitable for ages 16+
