Pay What You Decide Info
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.

Marina and Suze, a force of post-punk, police-agitating, bollocks-shouting duo were changing the world through the disability rights movement. Best friends from childhood, the pair had a loyal, fiery relationship, but now Marina has lost Suze forever, and the revolution has to stop for a while. Marina reflects on their riotous journey, embodying their world, as she summons a lineage of powerful disabled heroines.
In order to say goodbye to Suze properly, Marina questions whether it has all been worth it. Acknowledging the personal cost of campaigning, and feeling like she has to query her own role, she carefully unpacks her life and slowly removes the layers of women she was expected to be by others.
Unruly is written and performed by Vici Wreford-Sinnott alongside award-winning composer and musician Beccy Owen. Bex Bowsher directs this rare piece of disabled women-led theatre with an impassioned call to action. We invite you to celebrate these hidden radicals while considering whether doing nothing to oppose brutal injustice is ever really an option.
Unruly is a powerful, urgent show about refusing to be invisible in hostile environments and the power of friendship and community to get us through.

Access Culture of the show
There will be a warm welcome into the theatre. We create work to be as accessible as possible and we want audiences to feel comfortable in the space.
Audience members who would benefit from arriving early to get comfortable in the space are welcome to/ enter up to half an hour early. Please let front of house staff aware when you arrive, and they can show you up to the studio theatre.
It’s fine to come and go in the theatre if you need the loo or to take a break.
People who make involuntary noises based on their conditions are welcome, and as such we expect all audience members to be respectful of all other audience members. It is a ‘tutting’ and frowning free-zone.
There is no audience participation during the show, so no one will be put on the spot for anything.
Access dogs are welcome. Do let us know in advance where possible.
Music and Sound
All music is performed live by one musician/sound artist/singer. Some of the music is in a punk style and so many have attitude and a degree of reasonable volume. No loud bangs and no distorted sound are expected.
There are a couple of moments where the actor raises their voice in the context of the play – you can find a detailed sound map linked on the website or at Box Office.
Content awareness
The play explores themes of friendship and loss, reflection on life events, amazing disabled women from history who achieved incredible things against very challenging and discriminatory social backdrops. There are references to death – there is no detail described. Drinking alcohol excessively as a young person is referenced. All of these things are carefully balanced with the celebration of disabled people’s lives and triumphs, of friendship and community. There is a message of hope and a call to action.
We can provide more details of content, so please do contact box office with any questions. 01642 525199 and email [email protected]
