Our Archive

The Priory has an immense history of over 90 years worth of productions! We’re working hard to archive them all here, including (where possible) show dates, castings and production photos.

If you have photos, posters or any other information about the shows listed below, we’d love to hear from you! Please get in touch here.

We’d also like to pay thanks to Chris Parker, whose tireless work on the previous Priory websites formed the basis for this archive and to Mike Brooks, who’s spent hours cataloguing historic photos included here.

Catalogued Shows

The shows in this section have been fully archived and include (where available) the show poster, director and production photographs.

It is searchable by show name, director or production company.

We’ve got a lot of previous productions and we’re still working our way through them to create a full archive. In the meantime, here’s a list of them all.
