This powerful 1934 stage play by Lillian Hellman, set in an all-girls boarding school, is based on a true story. Two teachers’ lives are wrecked when a disaffected pupil makes accusations against them.

Welcome to the Apollo Theatre
Newport, Isle of Wight PO30 1JT

The Apollo Theatre is a member of the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain (LTG). The tiny Georgian building is a former Methodist chapel in Pyle Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, which was bought in 1970 and converted by a team of dedicated volunteers. Every year we put on a season of seven shows plus ‘one-off’ productions, as well as vintage films, jazz concerts and other events. We are constantly investing in the building and its facilities, and have state-of-the-art lighting and sound, a well-stocked bar offering special themed cocktails and a small but comfortable auditorium (with seats originally saved from Shanklin cinema!).
This is our 40th season and we are celebrating forty years of offering good theatre to the Isle of Wight. To mark our Ruby Anniversary we have published a souvenir booklet, ’40 Years of the Apollo Theatre’, which can be purchased from the theatre, price £5. You could pick one up at the same time as booking your tickets!
A ‘musical fable’ loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist, with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. With a cast of over thirty actors of all ages, ‘Gypsy’ promises to be an Apollo musical not to be missed!
