Welcome to SIRF 2010, which promises to be an extrordinary year even for Stockton’s extraordinary festival. No fewer than 38 companies are here, offering amazingly diverse experiences for you to combine into your own personal festival journey.
In a few short days you can join an audience of 700 in an authentic Nineteenth Century theatre; take your seat for a game of gangsta srabble; watch a pianist launch himself and his piano into space; see the spirit of Buster Keaton live again on Stockton High Street; thrill as the world’s best bboys battle for supremacy… Many journeys are possible and this listing is your route map.
Add in one of the UK’s largest carnival processions and the huge music and stand up comedy programme on offer down at the Fringe and only one conclusion is possible - Stockton at festival time is unique.
All shows except Circus of Horrors are FREE to the general public.
A number of shows require tickets (marked ‘T’) or have limited capacity (marked ‘R’). A FREE ticket for limited capacity performances can be obtained in advance from SIRF Central at the Shambles on Stockton High Street. Persons with a free ticket can only be guaranteed entry if they arrive 15 minutes before the advertised start time of the performance; otherwise places will be allocated to anyone queuing on a first come, first served basis.
Tickets for Circus of Horrors can be obtained from the Arc Box Office (01642) 525199 or at a box office in Parish Gardens open 30 minutes before each show.
Please remember to have a warm coat with you for evening performances!
