In May 1926, Britain grinds to a halt, as workers down tools for the General Strike. The stage is set for a fierce battle over control of the news and who gets to define the truth.

Ellen Brammar

I, Daniel Blake
Original author Paul Laverty Adapted by Dave Johns

In adversity, people come together. But when the system is stacked against you, how does anyone get by? With 14.5 million people (Joseph Rowntree Foundation 2022 Poverty Report) living in poverty in the UK, this is not fiction. It is reality.

The World According to Dinosaurs
Belle Hansen and Amelia Newman

The World According to Dinosaurs by Belle Hansen and Amelia Newman is an interrogation of globalism through the lens of palaeontology, world events and what we had for dinner last night. A culmination of the stories we tell ourselves about existence. This is a work of physical theatrical grandeur that journeys across genre and time.

Jacky
Declan Furber Gillick

Jacky is a smart, enterprising young blackfella in the big city. He skilfully negotiates the gig economy, skipping neatly from office internships to cultural performances to sex work. When his unemployable little brother Keith rolls into town, Jacky's carefully compartmentalised lives are set to collide.

The Misandrist
Lisa Carroll

Adrift, isolated and insecure, Rachel and Nick scramble for new ways to connect. Can some playful, passionate pegging provide a pathway through the pitfalls of modern relationships and present the possibility of a deeper bond?

Bleak Expectations
Mark Evans

Mark Evans' stage play Bleak Expectations is a hilarious, chaotic caper, featuring dastardly villains, preposterous names, pulse-quickening romances, heart-rending death scenes, and definitely, probably, hopefully a happy ending.

The Suspicions of Mr Whicher
Kate Summerscale Adapted by Alexandra Wood

Summer 1860, an elegant country house, a young boy is found dead in an outside privy. Over twenty years later, still haunted by the case, Jonathan Whicher from Scotland Yard visits the murderer. 

Gareth Farr's play Biscuits for Breakfast is a tender, heartfelt drama about families – the ones we inherit and the ones we create – and the struggle to survive when times get tough.

Frankenstein
adapted by Christine Davey, based on the novel by Mary Shelley

A funny, thoughtful, horrific and remarkable story of love, power, friendship, betrayal and every emotion in between. Frankenstein is a larger-than-life (and death) production celebrating and unleashing the monster in all of us. A visceral piece of theatre that grabs at your heart and soul and never lets go.
