This is the Burrell Theatre in Truro, Cornwall

The Burrell was officially opened by Sir Tim Rice in 2002, and went on to be awarded a special commendation by the Cornwall Buildings Group. The Burrell plays host to theatre and dance companies from Cornwall and all over the country, plus live music, lectures and conferences.

The Burrell also has its own theatre company in residence. Cube Theatre Company produce one show a year at the Burrell which they then tour the country with.

To say the least, the Burrell Theatre is a very busy and vibrant theatre, and is fast becoming Cornwall’s favourite multi purpose venue.

 

Featured Production

Forestage Theatre, Glory

Date: Wednesday 23rd May
From: 19:30
Category: Theatre
Description:

Glory, by William Stanton, is a satire about the impact of a privatisation on the lives of ordinary people who are directly and indirectly affected by it. Originally there was an irony: what if all the rumours about the Post Office became real? And then they did, so in the play we have PostEx, a part of the Post Office sold off and run for profit, planning to build an office block in a run-down area of a city centre, once a heartland of industrial production and still a traditional neighbourhood. Everywhere else there is PostEx. In the middle of everything is Dot’s café, where all kinds of people come for her home cooking. Denis is a redundant toolmaker who’s looking for a lost parcel (at PostEx); Glory and Craze do advertising (for PostEx); Rachel and Benet work at PostEx, and Giles is busy buying up property in the neighbourhood (for PostEx). The café is a haven, but can it hold out against the greed of the new company? Will Denis stay long enough to allow his friendship with Dot to blossom?
