Theatre: Oppenheimer
Overview
Join a friendly group of Spicers to watch the latest production at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse - your host will meet you in the bar from 7pm.
Tonight we see Oppenheimer; originally written for the RSC in 2015, Tom Morton-Smith's play takes us into the heart of science, politics and humanity clashing in the propulsive story of the Manhattan Project and the development of the world’s first nuclear bombs.
1939: fascism spreads across Europe, Franco marches on Barcelona and two German chemists discover the processes of atomic fission. In Berkeley, California, theoretical physicists recognise the horrendous potential of this new science: a weapon that draws its power from the very building blocks of the universe.
Struggling to cast off his radical past and thrust into a position of power and authority, the charismatic J Robert Oppenheimer races to win the 'battle of the laboratories' and create a weapon so devastating that it would bring about an end not just to the Second World War but to all war.

By Public Transport: The Garrick is about 800m (a 10-minute stroll) from each of the following stations, served by both Northern trains and Manchester Metrolink trams: Altrincham Interchange and Navigation Road.
The Garrick is situated on Barrington Road, a major bus route and there are bus stops on both sides of the road very close to the theatre.
Parking at the Garrick: There is a reasonably-sized car park, which offers free parking including spaces reserved for disabled parking. The car park can quickly become full for the most popular performances – filling up sometimes half an hour before a show begins.
Alternatively, there are numerous opportunities for parking on residential side streets within a couple of minutes’ walking distance. Parking there can also sometimes be limited and again you are advised to come as early as possible if you want to park particularly close to the theatre.
Please park considerately, avoiding blocking any access for local residents – thank you.
The bar is normally open at least 45 minutes before each performance, so their advice is: arrive early, park early, and relax in the cosy bar before the show!
