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.

BBFC Ratings Info (May Contain Spoilers)
violence
There are verbal references to maiming and killing. In a harrowing scene, an inmate recalls seeing another prisoner murdered. He says that the man’s throat was slashed, and that he and other prisoners were covered in the victim’s blood. Violence as a solution to life’s problems is clearly disapproved of by the film as a whole.
threat and horror
A prisoner aggressively threatens a fellow inmate during a drug deal.
language
Strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’) occurs, as well as milder terms (‘bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘ass’, ‘damn’, ‘hell’, ‘God’).
discrimination
There is peer to peer use of the term ‘n***a’, which is immediately challenged. An inmate recalls being called ‘faggot’ for attending a performing arts school. He expresses regret about how the opinions of others shaped his subsequent life choices. Accordingly, discrimination is clearly disapproved of by the film as a whole.
drugs
Drug references include a scene in which a person tastes what he believes to be a controlled substance before claiming that it is not the drug he believed it to be. A prisoner explains how drug misuse destroyed his life and also deeply distressed an older family member. The man expresses regret for his drug misuse.
suicide and self-harm
It is implied that a person has taken their own life; however, there is no detail.
theme
In one scene, a stressed prisoner becomes agitated during a rehearsal, and briefly lashes out at a fellow inmate. In another scene, a person breaks down when he talks about having his dog put down after the animal became sick. There are also brief upsetting verbal references to cancer and death.
