Exeter Northcott Theatre is delighted to announce that law firm Browne Jacobson has renewed its sponsorship with the theatre for a second year.
The year-long sponsorship agreement with the national firm which has an office in Exeter will make a valuable contribution to the theatre.
Exeter Northcott Theatre’s Chair of the Board of Trustees Lady Studholme said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Browne Jacobson over the last year and are pleased that they have agreed to continue their sponsorship of the Theatre for a further year.
Following on from last year’s lively adaptation of Godspell, Into the Light is a thought-provoking and beautifully written piece that will be performed at Buckfast Abbey from 7th -12th September by the Torbay-based Unleashed Theatre Company. Based on St John’s Gospel, it follows a group of refugees fleeing from Eastern Europe in the late 1930s at the start of the outbreak of the Second World War, who as they travel tell the ‘greatest story’ on Earth. For Unleashed Theatre Company, this piece has real significance as it takes them right back to their roots.

Double Bill of Folk Music in association with Wren Music This fine English duo has a wide variety of accomplishments to their credit. Simon Mayor’s current position is as one of the world’s foremost mandolinists and composers for the instrument. Hilary James’ “elegant singing” (Daily Telegraph) is quintessentially English, but easily crosses the great musical divides from British ballads to blues and Berlioz.
