Dynamic Pricing
ARC’s policy is to set ticket prices based on demand, like budget airlines, which means we set a price when the event goes on sale and then sometimes put the price up or down depending on how the show is selling. Usually, the price will increase as we get closer to the event, so it is advantageous to book in advance, although sometimes we will put special offers on and reduce the price. Our website will always show the current ticket price.
ARC’s theatre and dance performances are priced on a Pay What You Decide basis, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen a show!
We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.
Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.
All money collected will help ARC pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously.
Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.

Information about screenings with descriptive subtitles
Descriptive subtitles, sometimes referred to as subtitles for D/deaf and hard-of-hearing people or captions, transcribe dialogue and relevant aspects of the soundtrack, including music and sound effects, attempting to give D/deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers an equal experience to those who are able to watch films without descriptive subtitles. Descriptive subtitles would include speech identifiers and descriptive elements such as [door slamming] and [kettle whistling]

BBFC Ratings Information (May Contain Spoilers)
violence
Domestic abuse is a theme of the film, which effects a woman’s relationship and is also revealed to have impacted her parents’ marriage. Scenes depict domestic violence, in which a man lashes out at his partner, and pushes her down a flight of stairs, resulting in bruising and bloody injuries such as a bite mark on the woman’s chest. The man also exercises coercive control over her in various scenes; one such scene leads to sexual violence. Despite these challenging scenes, the theme of domestic abuse is handled responsibly and sensitively. In other scenes of physical violence, a young man is severely beaten by his girlfriend’s father after they were found in bed together.
language
Bad language includes ‘shit’, ‘ass’, ‘hell’, ‘God’ and ‘damn’, in addition to use of the ‘middle finger’ gesture.
sex
Scenes of moderate sex occur, which lack nudity and stronger details. There are also verbal references to sex, including to contraception, genitalia, sex work and pornography.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A heightened argument between a couple escalates and culminates in a man forcing himself onto his fiancée; however, the woman manages to stop him and make an escape. While graphic details are hidden, the sequence is sustained, with some emphasis on the woman’s distress, and is later repeated in a flashback. Thereafter, sexual violence is implied verbally, but not referred to explicitly.
suicide and self-harm
A man recalls experiencing suicidal ideation during a difficult period in his life; however, he was saved when he met someone new.
injury detail
Injuries are seen in the aftermath of domestic violence, such as a bite mark on a woman’s chest, and a bloody cut on her forehead. A teenager’s face is bloodied and bruised following a heavy beating by his girlfriend’s father.
theme
A teenager sleeping rough is bullied by fellow students; however, this is clearly condemned. References are made to a tragic accident in which a young boy causes the death of their younger sibling as a result of an accident with a household firearm.
flashing/flickering lights
