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.

Dunstan Bruce, Sophie Robinson
Cast
Dunstan Bruce
Dunstan Bruce is 59 and he’s struggling with the fact that the world seems to be going to hell in a handcart.
He’s wondering where did it all go wrong? For him. For humanity. Twenty years after his fall from grace, the former frontman of the anarchist band Chumbawamba is angry and frustrated.
But how does a middle-aged, retired radical, who now feels invisible get back up again?
In this punk version of Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ Dunstan is visited by the antagonistic ghost of his anarchist past. It is his alter ego, ‘Babyhead’ who forces him to question his own life, sending him on a search for his long-lost anarchist mojo.
This is the untold and remarkable story of Chumbawamba and Dunstan’s personal redemptive voyage as well as a call to arms to those who think activism is best undertaken by someone else.
An extraordinary, inspiring film for our times.
The film is followed by a Q&A with Dunstan Bruce, hosted by Bob Fischer.
ARC Staff Pick: Louise Wilkin | Deputy Marketing Manager
“I was a huge Chumbawamba fan when I was younger. They might be described by some as ‘one-hit wonders’, but they were much more than that for me (I was so excited the night they played at my university’s students’ union – looking back, I think it was quite a formative experience for me with live music!). Because of this, I didn’t hesitate to book a ticket when founding member Dunstan Bruce appeared at the Georgian Theatre in Stockton last autumn with his one-man theatre show Am I Invisible Yet? It was a brilliant evening, and when the subject of this documentary came up in the post-show Q&A, I knew it was something we’d love to have at ARC! In I Get Knocked Down, Dunstan has a fascinating story to tell about the history of Chumbawamba and his own journey – and as Dunstan was born and grew up in Billingham, I think it’s going to be quite special to see this film on the big screen in Stockton. It promises to be another memorable night.”
