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.

Sexual violence and sexual threat
A sequence of sexual violence includes nudity and a build-up of sexual threat, in which a woman’s former partner drugs and rapes her. She is then blamed for allowing the attack to happen. In another story, it is revealed a man is in thrawl to another man who dictates when the former can have sex. The subjected man has also been causing his wife to miscarry without her knowledge.
Suicide and self-harm
People hurt themselves and others out of loyalty to a controlling personality. A woman cuts off her own thumb, and later cuts out her liver, during a disturbing display of loyalty to her partner. A woman takes her own life within a fantastical context. A dog is seen hanging from the neck as an allusion to suicide during a fantasy scene.
Injury detail
There are occasional gory and bloody images, including of a severed thumb and a woman’s liver after she has cut it from her body. Bloody detail is also seen in the aftermath of a car crash, and in a scene of implied cannibalism.
Nudity
Scenes include full frontal male and female nudity, including in sexualised contexts.
Disturbing images
A woman cuts a dog’s leg, but no actual animal cruelty appears to have occured. In a montage of dogs behaving like humans, a dead dog is seen hanging from the neck. There are also disturbing scenes of implied cannibalism, bloodied water in the aftermath of a miscarriage, and people harming themselves and others as an act of loyalty to a controlling personality. After a man is shot, another man attempts to lick blood from the wound.
