MUST END MIDNIGHT, SATURDAY 31st MAY
53two, Manchester’s fully accessible and leading arts venue, is thrilled to announce an exclusive raffle, giving Dr Who’s immense fanbase the chance to win a genuine and extremely rare piece of Dr Who memorabilia. This clapperboard was used during the filming of season two, featuring the 15th Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa and was donated to them by their patron and star of Dr Who, Ruth Madeley.
This priceless clapperboard is an iconic symbol of the show and represents a unique collector’s item for enthusiasts of the long running BBC series. With added value being signed by 9 members of the cast; Anita Dobson, Jemma Redgrave, Varada Sethu, Millie Gibson, Yasmin Finney, Ruth Madeley, Bonnie Langford, Alexander Devrient, Ncuti Gatwa.
‘The clapper board has been in the venue for a few months now and it’s very safely locked up! We couldn’t believe it when Ruth brought it for us – it truly is very special and one-of-a-kind.’ – Simon Naylor, Creative Director
All proceeds will go to the arts charity, 53two, to help them deliver opportunities for their patrons and creatives across Greater Manchester. 53two is Manchester’s only wheelchair accessible, independent theatre venue. It is the only independent theatre in the UK to have a Changing Places toilet. The venue is unfunded from The City and/or Arts Council and survive on sponsors, donors and grants as well as the money spent in-venue.
‘We chose to raffle it to ensure that everyone stood a chance to own such an incredible piece of memorabilia. Everything 53two do is about inclusion and when I was able to donate this brilliant item, raffling was the only option! We’re very excited.’ – Ruth Madeley, 53two Patron
It’s their belief that theatre is for everyone, and why accessibility is at the heart of everything they do. The proceeds from the clapperboard will go towards increasing accessibility across the venue, both in the theatre and the bar/café.
