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.

It’s 1943. The Allies are determined to break Hitler’s grip on occupied Europe, and plan to launch an all-out assault on Sicily; but they face an impossible challenge – how to protect the invasion force from potential annihilation. It falls to two remarkable intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen) to dream the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war – centred on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man. Operation Mincemeat is the extraordinary and true story of an idea that hoped to turn the tide for the Allies – taking impossibly high risks, defying logic, and testing the nerves of its creators to breaking point.
Director: John Madden
Cast: Colin Firth, Kelly Macdonald, Jason Isaacs, Matthew Mcfadyen

BBFC Ratings Info (may contain spoilers)
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bastard’, ‘bloody hell’, ‘tits’, ‘bollocks’ and ‘arse’.
There is a brief scene in which one man masturbates another, without visible nudity or other strong detail. Another brief scene shows a couple pressed together against a wall, suggesting below-screen masturbation.
There is a short scene of battle violence, with sight of soldiers falling and of bodies on the ground but no visible injuries.
There are occasional moderate images of a corpse with increasingly mottled and discoloured skin. There is also a brief autopsy scene, during which we see intestines being lifted out of the body while people gag at the smell.
There are infrequent non-graphic references to suicide.
