NEWS: Oldham Coliseum Theatre announce two socially distanced events this November.

                         Covid-secure, socially distanced events on sale now!

Petrichor Friday 20 - Saturday 21 November Virtual Reality Theatre from ThickSkin

Welcome to Petrichor. Thousands applied and you have been selected. This is a new beginning, a clean slate, a second chance. You are an important part of this machine, And that’s all you need to think about. Step into a new world, where every single day is exactly the same. Petrichor is a dystopian reality where every moment is muted, managed and monochrome. Nothing bad ever happens, but nothing good does either. Excitement and happiness have been traded for a world without pain and suffering. A chance meeting brings two unlikely individuals together and offers a small glimpse of what life could be. Their newfound connection sends ripples through this ordered world and they begin to question every decision, every step and every thought they’ve ever had. Could there be something more than this? Petrichor will be viewed on VR headsets which will be made medical-grade safe before each use. Multiple performances between 2pm and 8.15pm. Each performance will hold just 20 audience members, sat separately around our 525-seat auditorium. Drowning Thursday 12 November, 7.30pm - last few tickets remaining Dare to Know Theatre Josh, an intelligent but naïve sixteen-year-old with extreme views on mental health, claims that suicide is selfish. However, as his world crumbles around him, his life begins to spiral out of control… The debut play from Oldham's Dare to Know Theatre.     Drowning was originally scheduled for our studio theatre and will now show in the 525-seat auditorium with a capacity of 60.
