A remarkable artist, poet and playwright, Arthur was born in Smallthorne, Stoke-on-Trent, on the 7th February 1925.
To mark his Centenary, the New Vic Theatre is leading a host of local organisations in a Heritage Lottery funded programme of events and activities exploring the work of this unique local artist.
Claybody Theatre is very proud to be part of this project, with arts workshops and a performance inspired by Arthur's work taking place at The Dipping House in July.

THE GRAND BABYLON HOTEL
Sat 13 Sept - Sat 4 Oct
With The Dipping House closed for refurbishment, we are delighted to announce that our autumn production this year will be produced in association with the New Vic Theatre.
Arnold Bennett's joyous comedy thriller will be adapted for the stage by Deborah McAndrew and directed by Conrad Nelson.
Nella Racksole wants steak and beer for her birthday treat, but these are not on the menu of the exclusive Grand Babylon Hotel - so her American Railroad Millionaire father obligingly buys the chef… the kitchen… the entire hotel.
However, The Grand Babylon is not all it seems, and Theodore Racksole soon discovers there’s more than a juicy steak on his plate – with kidnapping and murder for starters!
Tickets go on sale - Tues 22 April, 12 Noon.

THE DIPPING HOUSE
THE DIPPING HOUSE A new arts and community venue for Claybody and Stoke-on-Trent
Claybody Theatre is now permanently resident at Spode Works in Stoke - in a former dipping house.
We began with our 2023 production SONG OF THE SYTCH in this wonderful industrial space, and most recently audiences packed the house for BRIGHT LIGHTS OVER BENTILEE.
In February 2024 we were delighted to be joined by our Patron for AN AUDIENCE WITH TOBY JONES - sponsored by KMF.
'This amazing space… which really is one of the most beautiful theatrical spaces I’ve seen in years.
It’s so wonderful… how it’s haunted by its past – it’s great!'
TOBY JONES
This is how you do site specific theatre,
this is how you make historic spaces work and this is how you entertain audiences
