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.

12-year-old Rebecca, together with her father, relocates from the UK to Jerusalem seeking a fresh start following the tragic death of her mother. Their old family home in the Valley of the Ghosts becomes the setting for mysterious events and an unlikely friendship between Rebecca and Rasha, a young Palestinian girl only she can see.
Could it be that the walls of the house are infused with the history and emotions of past generations or is Rasha simply a figment of Rebecca’s imagination?
As Rebecca delves deeper into the secrets of the house, she discovers Rasha’s true identity and the shared loss that binds them.

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 rating information (may contain spoilers)
Threat and horror
A child falls into water and nearly drowns before rescue arrives. There is a brief and moderately intense sequence of gun threat. Other scenes contain moderate supernatural threat, when a girl finds evidence of a mysterious intruder in her home and later encounters the ghost of another child; though the girl is initially frightened, we eventually learn that the ghost means her no harm.
Sex
A couple lie in bed together after discreetly implied off-screen sex.
Injury detail
Accidental injuries, including those caused by an off-screen car accident, result in mild images of blood on people’s faces.
Dangerous behaviour
A child drugs an adult’s drink with crushed sleeping pills, without lasting ill effects. In another scene a child nearly drowns after climbing into a disused well.
Theme
There are upsetting scenes in which a child and her father grieve over the death of her mother; a flashback scene shows the girl frantically trying to wake her mother in the aftermath of an off-screen car crash. Other scenes feature verbal references to the displacement of Palestinian Arabs during the 1948 Palestinian War. The themes of loss, grief and trauma, which run throughout the film, are handled in a thoughtful and empathetic manner.
