 8th-10th April
The Crescent Theatre "Now well established independently of its long time at mac, Stage2 opened its latest production to a packed house at The Crescent. Once again it's a remarkable enterprise. There are persuasive performances from Lauren Archer, Billy Coughlin and Sam Cofman acting their ages as three children for whom a blatant case of injustice is a rite of passage to a flawed adult world. Dan Dolan strives manfully embodying the idealistic lawyer Atticus; Luke Waite has touching dignity as his doomed client, Jon Paul Millington a plausible swagger as his racist accuser while the most complete performance of all comes from Helen Jones as the maid Calpurnia."

 8th-10th January
The Patrick Centre, Birmingham Hippodrome "Ellie Darvill proves endlessly inventive in choreographing her cast and the distribution of lines among solo voices, semi and larger choruses give the piece an almost symphonic character with haunting original music by Richard Radnor Williams. This is a team game and I did not notice a weak link. Impassioned, moving and sometimes distressing where it touches on individual victims, the fact that the company reflects Birmingham's multicultural population naturally gives it a particular resonance. It is one of those triumphant occasions that reasserts the power and (for once not to dodge a hackneyed word) the relevance of theatre." The Birmingham Post

 5th July
The Library Theatre "With a production of Claire Dowie's 'Why is John Lennon Wearing a Skirt' plus workshops with the author at the Crescent Theatre, a showcase of exam work at the Library Theatre and a trilingual exchange trip with a German Theatre group in Barcelona, July is a busy month for Stage2 - Somehow though they have also managed to squeeze in a taste of the Big Apple. The company have taken short plays by some of the best American writers such as Christopher Durang and Lucille Fletcher and linked them with improvised scenes, to form a complete day in the life of New Yorkers. Stage2 has a strong reputation and has never been afraid to stretch the boundaries of what's expected of youth theatre groups, performing challenging work from Shakespeare to Berkoff and with this amount of activity planned for the summer, it's going from strength to strength."

The Patrick Centre, Birmingham Hippodrome Stage2 is renowned for giving wide-ranging opportunities to its members and this show was no different. Ellie Darvill, whose extensive experience of working in children's theatre and TV (including many years as the Why Bird in 'Playdays') collaborated on the script with 17 year old company member Holly Turton. The premiere of this new adaptation of this timeless classic delighted festive theatregoers at The Patrick Centre at Christmas 2004. "The show promises to be of the usual high quality for the whole family to enjoy" Evening Mail
