Songs for Nobodies
Joanna Murray-Smith

When a great singer lets her voice float out over the anonymous crowd, or form the grooves of thousands of records, or flow through radios into millions of homes across the world, she makes countless unknown connections with people.

In Songs for Nobodies, we meet five unknown women who are touched by the great singers seen to be living the dream: Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday and Maria Callas.

A tense and gripping drama, loaded with dark humour, about the price we pay for material possessions and the effect it has on those we love.

The Railway Children
E. Nesbit Adapted by Mike Kenny

Mike Kenny's imaginative stage adaptation of E. Nesbit's much-loved children's classic.

Famously filmed, this story of a prosperous Edwardian family - mother and three children - forced into near-penury in the rural north of England captures the anxieties and exhilarations of childhood with great tenderness and insight.

Tribes
Nina Raine

Billy's family, like every other, is a club, with its own private language, jokes and rules. You can be as rude as you like, as possessive as you like, as critical as you like. Arguments are an expression of love, and after all, you love each other more than anyone in the world. Don't you? But Billy, who is deaf, is the only one who actually listens. When he meets Sylvia, he decides he finally wants to be heard.

First Person Shooter
Paul Jenkins

A funny and foreboding play about what happens when gaming and military technology collide.

Bunny
Jack Thorne

An exhilarating coming-of-age drama for a solo performer.

Speechless
Linda Brogan, Polly Teale

The true-life drama of the extraordinary bond between two identical twin girls and their struggle to find a voice.

Sappho ... in nine fragments
Jane Montgomery Griffiths

Sappho was the world’s first love poet, the inspiration for every lovelorn writer and songster since. As centuries have passed, her tale has become a gap in time for generations to pour their desires into. What is the truth behind her own story?

Anne Boleyn
Howard Brenton

Rummaging through the dead Queen Elizabeth's possessions upon coming to the throne in 1603, King James I finds alarming evidence that Anne was a religious conspirator, in love with Henry VIII but also with the most dangerous ideas of her day. She comes alive for him, a brilliant but reckless young woman confident in her sexuality, whose marriage and death transformed England for ever.

Penelope
Enda Walsh

A savage, tragicomic take on the classic Greek myth of Penelope, wife of Odysseus, whose story is recounted in Homer's Odyssey. It's 11.30 a.m. and already it's thirty-three degrees Celsius. At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, four ridiculous men face their inevitable deaths, and play for an unwinnable love.
