BEFORE THE MASTERPIECE… THERE WAS THE LOVE STORY.
A witty, romantic celebration of theatre, passion, and the power of words.
Young Will Shakespeare has a bad case of writer’s block and desperately needs a muse. His new comedy, Romeo and Ethel the Pirate’s Daughter, is less than inspired and he’s running out of time to deliver his next masterpiece. That is, until he meets Viola, and a real-life Romeo and Juliet story starts to take hold. But Viola has a secret, and this damned Romeo play is turning out to be nothing like the comedy the Queen demanded.
Tom Stoppard and Marc Norman’s Academy Award-winning script has been transformed by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot) into a side-splitting stage comedy with a stirring love story at its heart.
Don’t miss this unique theatrical event, which guarantees a rollicking night of romance and backstage fun.

LOVE, ON A WINTER’S NIGHT.
Under the northern lights, the residents of Almost, Maine discover love — lost, found, and wonderfully unexpected.
Almost, Maine is one of the most produced plays in the world — a tender and quietly magical portrait of love in all its fragile, funny and surprising forms. Set on one clear, freezing Friday night beneath the glow of the northern lights, the play unfolds in a small town so remote it almost doesn’t exist.
Across a series of loosely connected scenes, neighbours, strangers and longtime partners stumble into moments of connection, heartbreak and hope. People fall in and out of love, mend what has been broken, and discover that even the smallest encounter can change the course of a life. Hearts are bruised, repaired, and sometimes lifted clean off the ground — quite literally.
By turns romantic, gently comic and deeply moving, Almost, Maine speaks to the universal experience of longing and belonging. It is a play about the courage it takes to love, the risks we take when we open our hearts, and the quiet miracles that can happen when people allow themselves to be truly seen.
Featuring:

HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE.
A darkly funny existential classic where escape is impossible — and the real torture is each other.
Step into the eternal chamber of No Exit, Jean-Paul Sartre’s darkly comic classic of existential dread. Three souls arrive, expecting torture — but discover their fate is far more insidious: each is condemned to be the tormentor of the other. In this elegant, merciless one-act, there are no rack and flame, only sharp words, shifting power and the cruelty of being seen — or mis-seen — by someone else.
Timeless, essential theatre. No Exit is one of those rare plays that demands to be seen and discussed again and again — it is a foundational text of modern drama, and with its mix of psychological intensity, bleak humour, and philosophical bite, this is both a dark comedy and a relentless moral mirror. When the lights go down, you’ll carry “Hell is other people” with you — and wonder how much you’re laughing… and how much you’re screaming.

AWARD-WINNING, LAUGH-OUT-LOUD COMEDY.
Family squabbles, absurd rivalries and Chekhovian chaos collide in this modern classic.
Step into the Bucks County home of Vanya and Sonia, who’ve quietly squandered their lives caring for the past. When sister Masha storms in with her much younger beau Spike in tow, dormant rivalries, longings, and absurd fantasies ignite. Through one uproarious night of costume parties, voodoo projections, existential rants, and sibling one-upmanship, surprises litter every scene. It’s a modern classic of comic theatre — absurd, sharp, and utterly human.
“The theater erupts in booming gusts of laughter that practically shake the seats!” — The New York Times

WHO ARE YOU… WHEN LOVE DEMANDS A CHOICE?
A razor-sharp modern classic about identity, desire and the cruelties of indecision.
Mike Bartlett’s C*ck has, in just over a decade, secured its place as a seminal modern classic — strong, startling, and unforgettable, it’s a play that confronts identity, desire and the cruelties of choice with wit, tension and emotional clarity.
When John, long in a relationship with his boyfriend, meets a woman who captivates him, everything fractures. His decision — or indecision — spirals outward, dragging in friends, rivals, lovers, and expectations, until a final dinner becomes a battleground for truth. With blistering dialogue and brutal honesty, C*ck forces us to ask: can anyone really choose? What happens when identity is fluid, but allegiances demand definition?
“Bartlett’s sharp, witty study is less about tortured bisexuality than the paralyzing indecision that stems from not knowing who one really is.”
— The Guardian (Michael Billington)
Winner: Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre

WELCOME TO THE RING. ONLY ONE SURVIVES.
A lean, brutal modern classic — a companion piece to C*ck, turning the workplace into a gladiatorial arena.
Just one month after staging Bartlett’s C*ck, we turn to Bull — an elemental, unflinching exploration of power, survival and psychological warfare in a boardroom-as-arena. If C*ck interrogates identity and desire, Bull rips open the raw mechanics of social ranking: who wins, who loses, and what lengths we go to in order to survive.
Written by the same bold voice, Bull stands today as a seminal modern classic of contemporary drama — compact, merciless, and etched with brutal clarity. Bartlett himself originally conceived it in conversation with C*ck — they share casting shape, thematic symmetry and a merciless aesthetic. It’s also very funny.
Set in any grey-lit office, three colleagues await a meeting with their boss — one of them will be culled. From the start, the cruelty is ritualised: whispers, insinuations, triangulation, humiliation. The tension tightens until the final moments feel less like resolution and more like exposure.
“Fast-paced, fanged and darkly funny … BULL charges and makes impact.”

WHOSE MEMORIES DO YOU TRUST?
The gripping psychological thriller adapted for the stage — where every glimpse out the window is a lie.
Step aboard the midnight carriage of The Girl on the Train, an electrifying theatrical journey into memory, obsession and betrayal. Rachel Watson rides the same train every day, watching a suburban couple she imagines having the perfect life — until one day the woman disappears. When Rachel is drawn into the investigation, her fractured recollections and inner demons make her both witness and suspect. This is theatre that plays with perception, twists the familiar, and claws its way under your skin.
Adapted by Rachel Wagstaff & Duncan Abel from Paula Hawkins’ bestseller, this stage version traps you in Rachel’s troubled mind. It’s suspense. It’s tragedy. It’s the darkness you can’t unsee.

Each little joy builds a life worth loving.
A deeply human, interactive one-actor journey
What if hope could be written down — one small thing at a time?
In Every Brilliant Thing, a child’s list of “brilliant things” begins as a lifeline when his mother attempts suicide. Over time, that list becomes his bridge to life, connection and meaning. This is theatre that stitches sorrow and joy, comedy and compassion, in real time.
With Chris Baldock at its narrator, this production becomes something more than a play — it’s an invitation to share, to remember, to heal. As actor and director, Baldock brings his celebrated, award-winning craft to a role that demands intimacy, immediacy and total presence.
Every night is unique: house lights stay up, the narrator draws in volunteer audience members, assigning them roles and lines. You become part of the story — and by the time the list ends, so might your heart be fuller, your perspective shifted.
It’s a courageous, luminous exploration of mental health, grief, the joys in life and the gift of noticing the small things we too easily overlook.
“It’s a truly remarkable night of live theatre.” — LondonTheatreReviews

WHEN EVERY TRUTH FACES YOU.
A sharp, confrontational drama about justice, guilt and the hidden cost of workplace power.
David Williamson, in his first play of The Jack Manning Trilogy, takes us into the charged arena of community conference: a form of restorative justice that forces people — victim, perpetrator, witnesses — to speak, to listen, and to contend with their own complicity.
When Glen, a fired scaffolder, crashes into his former boss’s Mercedes in anger, a mediated conference is convened rather than pounding the pavement to court. In that room of confrontations, secrets unravel — rivalries, lies, loyalties and betrayals interlock. What begins as an act of revenge becomes a mirror to everyone’s deeper fractures.
This seminal Australian play is your chance to sit inside that confrontation — to ask how far truth can stretch, how far reckoning can heal, and what happens when we hold one another accountable.

PRIVILEGE DRINKS DEEP — AND THE WRECKAGE IS OURS TO WATCH.
A savage, darkly comic dissection of power, entitlement and the cost of rule.
Enter the Oak-panelled, tailcoat-clad enclosure of The Riot Club — ten polished undergraduates gathering for their quarterly feast in a country pub, convinced that birthright grants them dominion over all. Posh by Laura Wade (later adapted as The Riot Club on film) plunges into that one fateful night when entitlement, excess and secrecy collide.
As wine flows and inhibitions slip, the line between elite tradition and brute violence fades. What begins as ritualised revelry slides into entitlement unmasked — and the fallout is merciless. Wade’s writing crackles with witty cruelty and urgent clarity, exposing the social machinery behind the masks.
This is theatre that confronts, unsettles and demands discussion — perfect in an era when the stakes of power and privilege feel more visible than ever.
“Laura Wade’s depiction of wealth and privilege is savagely funny.” — Time Out London
“Dark comedy turned social horror … as entertaining as it is savage.” — Time Out (Sydney)
