Since our inaugural Festival in 2007, The Cut has been HighTide's partner, offering to our itinerant theatre company a home. As the scale and ambitions for our productions have grown, The Cut have worked tirelessly to accommodate our vision for presenting contemporary theatre with provocative and audacious staging.
The Cut is an imposing red-brick former maltings building, located in the Suffolk market town of Halesworth. Situated in the heart of the Blyth Valley and just a few miles inland from the popular East coast resort of Southwold, The Cut bridges the gap between the conurbations of Ipswich and Norwich in which, until now, there has been no large community arts venue.
The Cut has three audotoria; The Main House, a semi flexible 220 seat main theatre; The Studio, a black box space; and The Gallery, an unusual and atmospheric hall suitable for immersive theatre such as Stovepipe, which we staged as in promenade in The Gallery.
