Solihull Arts Complex

Conveniently Married (Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 February)
Shows at 10am & 3pm on Saturday and 3pm on Sunday – Solihull Train Station - see below change of venue.

Due to weather reports the Sunday morning 10am performance of 'A Convenient Marriage' which starts at Solihull Railway station and ends in Central Solihull has been cancelled. 

The Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon shows (3pm) will both be performed indoors in The Studio at The Core. 

These amendments are due to the likelihood of heavy rain and wind, which will make performance and sound difficult.  As there is no alternative wet weather venue for the Sunday morning, we have contacted ticketholders to swap them to Saturday or Sunday afternoon alternatives.

Tickets are no longer required - just turn up and enjoy the show, part of Solihull WH Auden Festival 2022..

Throughout history, humans go out of their way to help others, even in the face of unseemly horror. How do we manage it? Why do we do it? And when all seems hopeless, how do we continually find new ways to hope? A promenade theatre performance exploring the marriage arranged by WH Auden between his friend, fellow writer, and Dorridge resident John Hampson Simpson, and the German actress Therese Giehse at Solihull Registrar Office on May 20th, 1936. 

Apologies for any inconvenience caused by the above change of venue..
