OUR NEXT PRODUCTION...

Golden Boy

05 to 05 November 2026

Josh O’Connor leads the cast in this thrilling revival of Clifford Odets’ 1937 American play.

The play explores the tension between art and materialism through the life of Joe Bonaparte, a young Italian American torn between his talent as a violinist and his pursuit of fame and fortune as a prizefighter. Initially supported by his father to pursue music, Joe chooses boxing, setting off a chain of events that alters his relationships and personality. The story delves into themes of identity, ambition, and alienation, as Joe grapples with the sacrifices of his artistic passion for the brutality of the ring.
This production includes flashing lights, which may impact customers with photosensitive epilepsy.

What’s on at The Apollo Theatre in Newport, Isle of Wight

Welcome to the Apollo Theatre

The Apollo Theatre is a member of the Little Theatres Guild of Great Britain (LTG). The building was originally a tiny Methodist chapel in Newport, Isle of Wight, which was bought in 1970 and converted by a team of dedicated volunteers under the inspired leadership of John Hancock, whose idea the whole thing was and without whose commitment and enthusiasm we wouldn’t be what we are now – the Island’s premier little theatre. The first productions were put on the Apollo stage in 1972 – and what a long way we’ve come since then!
