Tambo & Bones
Dave Harris

Tambo and Bones are stuck in a minstrel show. It's hard to know what's real when you're stuck in a minstrel show. Their escape plan: get out, get rich, get even.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
