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

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.

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?

Maureen Lennon

Unfolding through snapshots of a relationship over forty years, Helen explores the threads which bind mother and daughter together, how they damage each other, and how they come to each other's rescue.

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. 

A Little Life
Original author Hanya Yanagihara Adapted by Koen Tachelet, Ivo van Hove, Hanya Yanagihara

A Little Life follows the complex relationships of four college friends in New York City: Willem, an actor; Malcolm, an architect; JB, an artist; and, at the centre of their group, Jude, a lawyer. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, changed by ambition, addiction and pride. Yet their greatest challenge is Jude himself, whose secrets – and shame – define not just his own life, but that of his friends as well.

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.
