Farewell for now @theyardtheatre.bsky.social | such a brilliant send off 🧡

A perfect piece to send us off ❤️

And to celebrate @theyardtheatre.bsky.social's milestone... And to say thanks to everyone who contributed... And to mark our own milestone of Exeunt having been back for six months (!!) ...this piece is FREE to read for ALL!

It's the end of an era for The Yard - and saying goodbye to the Hackney Wick venue feels bittersweet for many. So we decided to immortalise it, collecting memories of amazing shows, career breaks, smoking areas, dancing dogs, spaceships, headbanging, raw fish, and meeting the love of your life

Fantastic first visit to the Yard Theatre for The Glass Menagerie, superbly staged and completely absorbing from start to finish Time is the longest distance between two places

Highly recommend the Yard Theatre's production of Glass Menagerie - gets the fever dream heart of TW's poetry

For people in London that enjoy theater, The Glass Menagerie at Yard Theater is excellent. Highly recommended.

Near perfect production of The Glass Menagerie at the Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick. Closes in May when the theatre is demolished and rebuilt.

Over to Hackney Wick yesterday to see The Glass Menagerie at The Yard Theatre. Powerful production with excellent performances from all players. Lots of contemporary touches but Williams’ text is allowed to shine as brightly, and as devastatingly, as ever. www.theyardtheatre.co.uk/events/the-g...

Yard Theatre bosses have warned that cuts to arts reporting was making it more difficult for theatres to get their work reviewed 👇

My last visit to The Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick before it closes to be rebuilt. Jay Miller’s The Glass Menagerie has had terrific reviews and the run has been extended to May 10th. Some tickets still available but it’s selling out.

I wrote about my relationship to The Glass Menagerie, and how own interpretation of it as an autistic trans woman after seeing @theyardtheatre.bsky.social’s amazing production: open.substack.com/pub/tabbylam...

"If this was really it for The Yard, then it would be going out on a high" Time Out First wave of reviews have dropped. Tickets are shifting even faster. Our phones are ringing off the hook. We did warn you. The Glass Menagerie is officially a (smash) hit 🔨 theyardtheatre.co.uk/theglassmenagerie

Just booked tickets for this at @theyardtheatre.bsky.social Theatre so VERY excited that it's got such a glowing review in @theguardian.com

Hackney’s beloved @theyardtheatre.bsky.social is bowing out of the first phase of its storied life with something strange and wonderful. This #TheGlassMenagerie is tremendously effective and affecting. ajhlovestheatre.org/2025/03/12/t...

Felt a pang at my final visit to the old @theyardtheatre.bsky.social, though The Glass Menagerie is a beautiful way to say goodbye. The long fragile scene between Laura and her gentleman caller is breathtaking - sensationally delicate stage debuts by Eva Morgan & Jad Sayegh

“One of the finest stagings of the Tennessee Williams play that I’ve ever seen.” @telegraphnews.bsky.social The Glass Menagerie is open. Here till 10 May. theyardtheatre.co.uk/theglassmenagerie

We’ve broken every box office record we have. That’s right. Every single one. The Glass Menagerie is that show. The press haven’t even got their hands on it, the demand is insane, and we’re listening. So, here's 3 more weeks — now playing until 10 May 🌙 theyardtheatre.co.uk/theglassmenagerie

The Yard Theatre’s final production before closing for redevelopment, Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, has seen unprecedented demand, selling faster than any show in the theatre’s history and announces extension @theyardtheatre.bsky.social

The Glass Menagerie @ The Yard Theatre

We’ve broken every box office record we have. That’s right. Every single one. The Glass Menagerie is that show. The press haven’t even got their hands on it, the demand is insane, and we’re listening. So, here's 3 more weeks — now playing until 10 May 🌙 theyardtheatre.co.uk/theglassmenagerie

“So what are we going to do the rest of our lives?” Here’s your first look at The Glass Menagerie 🌙 A mother trapped in faded glory. A son drowning in duty. A daughter lost in fragile dreams. And a gentleman caller who could be their escape—or their undoing. theyardtheatre.co.uk/theglassmenagerie

The last first night—for a while. The Glass Menagerie kicks off tonight to packed audiences. Our posters are up, our theatre is full, and we’re making the most of every moment—before it becomes just a memory. Good luck to the entire team, you’ve literally made magic. See you inside 🌙

Here is this week's issue of The Crush Bar, featuring... - a chat with @theyardtheatre.bsky.social founder and director Jay Miller - my top five Yard Theatre shows over the years - three shows to see next week in Glasgow, London and Bristol Read/subscribe thecrushbar.substack.com/p/i-masquera...

A look into The Glass Menagerie rehearsals at Gainsborough Primary School (the chairs are very small and we're very tall). The same place that sends their students to us for Yard Young Artist workshops.

last performances of My Mother’s Funeral: The Show today at @theyardtheatre.bsky.social to round off the tour, so we’ve prepared some final words: Gillian, don’t forget the pie in the oven. Sending all of the love for this team for shows 83 and 84 💐

Had my first visit to @theyardtheatre.bsky.social to see my remarkable friend Nicole Sawyerr & the wonderful @debrabaker33.bsky.social & Sam Armfield. I saw this at the fringe and it remains as funny & powerful as it was. So glad more people get to see it, congrats @charlottebennett.bsky.social 👏

Been playing EdFringe catch up this week by seeing a couple of award-winners from last year - Amy Gledhill (@sohotheatre.bsky.social) and My Mother's Funeral (@theyardtheatre.bsky.social). Both excellent and highly recommended; also a welcome last chance to see The Yard before its redevelopment.

Set up an account especially to celebrate this show. Edinburgh 10/10, London 10/10, go seeeee my peeps! Congrats @painesplough.bsky.social @charlottebennett.bsky.social & team xx

Bros before shows: our neighbours Luk Bros are moving in 🥢 From 5 Feb, they’re bringing their legendary crispy dumplings and Asian bites to us. Think signature karaage, cold sesame noodles, and fresh smacked cucumber. (+ Yard Card members get 10% off) Come for the drama, stay for the dumplings 🥟

Congratulations to everyone involved in this show, a couple of moments definitely took me back to losing my mum in the most cathartic way. So tender and funny and powerful. This iteration of @theyardtheatre.bsky.social is really going out with a bang! 🎭💛

It's official — My Mother's Funeral: The Show opens tonight 💐 Having @painesplough.bsky.social in our final shows before our rebuild feels right: they've made something honest, hilarious & heart-stopping. You can feel it in every moment. Critics, get ready. 🔗 theyardtheatre.co.uk/mymothersfuneral

Tonight we open at the Yard, and we also invite you to a Grief Mixer next Tuesday 4 Feb. DM us if you want a discount code for that Eve as well!

Just landed: @painesplough.bsky.social's My Mother's Funeral: The Show, Grief Mixer 💐 A post-show space for the grief and death-positive communities. With Charlotte Bennett, Naomi Westerman + Ruth Arnold on 4 Feb, free with a ticket to the show. theyardtheatre.co.uk/mymothersfuneral

Revenge: After the Levoyah. That's it. Sold out. Our DMs wouldn't stop pinging, so we added 5 extra shows. Now they're gone too. Returns only, or try your luck at the door. Good things come to those who queue.

Repost! Please come see our special show @theyardtheatre.bsky.social opening this Tuesday with a healthy dose of jet lag! @painesplough.bsky.social

Very much enjoyed Revenge: After the Levoyah at @theyardtheatre.bsky.social (as mentioned in this week's Exeunt) - very funny, very silly, and subtly very smart on lots of complicated stuff. I also enjoyed how hard @tommofowler.bsky.social laughed at the pivotal role chrain played in the getaway...

There’s a rich, shimmering atmosphere in the room when catching Revenge: After the Levoyah @theyardtheatre.bsky.social; we’re thrown into this story with Lauren (Gemma Barnett) and Dan (Dylan Corbett-Bader) who are both impeccable at comic timing and switching between the most absurd characters 👏

Our phones haven’t stopped. The critics are raving. There are only 10 seats left. We’ve heard you loud and clear. So here’s five extra performances of REVENGE: After the Levoyah, but they’re already filling up fast (we’re not joking around) 🔗 theyardtheatre.co.uk/revenge
