So what better than to make a show specifically for Oxford with our young people's company, 16¦22. The piece, To and Fro, is inspired by T S Eliot's poem, Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock. You are invited to a party at The Rookery in Old Headington, where you will enjoy an intimate and enticing journey into the bustling and secret world of the characters and images inspired by the poem. As a party guest you will move around the house encountering the evening's events (flat shoes recommended!) and will even be invited to partake in tea and cake. The charming and atmospheric The Rookery in Old Headington (a grade II listed building, owned by Ruskin College), lends its own voice and historic characteristics to the piece, making To and Fro a completely unique experience. The group will devise and perform the production themselves, with professional design, direction and support. Aged between 16 and 22, the Playhouse's resident company come from all over Oxfordshire to create, rehearse and perform theatre.
