It’s jolly hockey sticks at the ready as Daisy Meredith, a plucky girl from a poor background, is the first pupil allowed to attend the posh Grangewood School for Girls on a scholarship. This parody of a typical English boarding school is a rip-roaring, whizzo of a treat that was a long-running success in London’s West End. Not only must Daisy fit in with her snobby and snotty chums, it seems like saving the school is a lesson she must learn. With schoolgirl pranks a-plenty, this youth-led comedy is lashings of fun. Age range recommendation - from 11 years.
In Victorian London, while the Jack Manningham is on the town each evening, his new wife Bella is home alone at number nine, Thornton Square. She can’t explain the disappearance of familiar objects, the mysterious footsteps overhead, or the ghostly flickering of living room gaslights, which seem to slowly dim down until they barely cast any light at all. Is she losing her mind, as her mother did before her? Her memories are haunted by an aunt violently murdered and a mother consigned to the asylum. Is the terror all in her mind, or are there dark secrets dwelling in her home? Just as she is on the point of despair, she is visited by Rough, a retired detective, who has been on Manningham’s trail for 20 years. He has been using the maid Nancy’s boyfriend as an informant, and after enlisting the help of the housekeeper, Elizabeth, he manages to convince Bella to go along with his scheme to snare Manningham once and for all. Nail biting tension is worked up to a frightening crescendo… Better known on Broadway under the title Angel Street, the 1944 American movie of Gaslight starred Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotton, and Ingrid Bergman, who won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role as Bella.

Bluebird
Author: Simon Stephens
UK London
Venue: The Bob Hope Theatre, Wythfield Rd, Eltham, SE9 5TG
From the Director of Bob Hope Theatre’s version of Kindertransport comes Allan Osborne second production Bluebird. Staring Laura Ashenden (Nell Gwynn; Bomshells; Little Voice and Road) and Piers Newman (Road and Nell Gwynn) and 12 other sensational actors who have all performed at the Bob Hope Theatre - this promised to be a sesational moving production. From the writer/adapter of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Bluebird is a sensitive and melancholy play, composed of brief conversations and lifelong sorrow. Taxi driver Jimmy hears about other people’s lives, just for a few moments. In the time it takes to drive them where they want to go, Jimmy hears about walking the streets, lost daughters and changing the lightbulbs by the tube tracks. He is asked whether he believes in ghosts, in love, in the human spirit. And as he drives through the night, the play gets closer to the core of his silences, to the tragedy of his own life, and to where he goes when there’s no one in the back seat of his cab. The play has 13 characters who share a cab journey in one evening. All are somehow connected to Jimmy; as we finally find out what has led to Jimmy’s downfall. The play is about redemption and deep grief but told in a humorous way with a real sense of pathos.

The Northern Ireland peace process is taking its faltering first steps, and INLA man Mad Padraic is hard at work pulling out the toenails of Belfast drug pusher James, when the news comes through that his beloved cat, Wee Thomas, is poorly. Instead of slicing off James’s right nipple, as planned, he heads back home to the island of Inishmore. But, when he arrives at the family home, he discovers that Wee Thomas isn’t sick but has had his brains squeezed out like toothpaste. Padraic, a man considered too mad for the IRA and sorely trying the patience of his INLA comrades, is intent on revenge, even if that means wiping out his own father. Just as he’s about to put a bullet through Dad’s head, there’s an unexpected knock at the door.

Edward Albee's Pulitzer Prize-winning play is brought vividly to life in director Shaun Nolan's new production, produced by Unbound Theatre. Three women: the first encroached by senility and reflecting on her long life, another appointed to be her caretaker, and a third send to help put her legal problems in order.

Trelawny of the "Wells" is an 1898 comic play with four acts set in the 1860’s by Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, who started his career in British theatre as an actor at the age of 19 and between 1877 and 1934 was a successful society dramas and comedies playwright. This particular production tells the story of a theatre star, renown for her performances in melodrama plays - Rose Trelawny - who attempts to give up her acting career for love when she marries her well-to-do sweetheart. Alas, family life turns out to be a bit too dull for her outrageous personality and Rose struggles to fit into conventional society. Feeling rather fed up, Rose runs back to the theatre however her experience of the "real world" has affected her talent and she finds it impossible to recapture that "special something". Not willing to give up so easily though, Rose and her troupe of talented individuals find a new way to present her new stage self, with some romantic and jolly good fun shenanigans along the way. Trelawny of the 'Wells' has been adapted for stage, film and TV in various guises and has featured the likes of Cecil Hepworth, Alma Taylor, Sidney Franklin, Norma Shearer, Arthur Cox, Jason Connery, Patricia Brake, Sarah Brightman, Peter Bayliss, Helena Bonham Carter, Richard Bremmer, Helen McCrory and Adam Kotz. Join us as we experience a fine late-19th-century melodrama with a contemporary audience at this one-off performance in Lewes on 14th March 2020.

The play tells the story of the tensions sparked between the Government and those ordinary families whose businesses and properties are summarily requisitioned. "One of Britain's greatest living playwrights, Hampshire-born Howard Brenton (Anne Boleyn, Shakespeare's Globe; Pravda, National Theatre) tells the remarkable and little known story of how Southampton stepped up when the chips were down. On 16 February 2018, NST opened a second venue, NST City, in Southampton's Cultural Quarter with the world premiere of Howard Brenton's The Shadow Factory." - NST We are delighted to be staging his production in the year of the 80th anniversary of The Battle of Britain.

An American musical with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Ebb and Bob Fosse.

The story is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice and the concept of the 'celebrity criminal'.
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill? What changes a man from being his country’s hero to its most loathed and dreaded murderer? Ambition? Sorcery? Fate – or simply innate evil? One of Shakespeare’s most perfectly crafted plays explores one man’s terrifying descent to tyranny. The Sir John Mills Theatre brings you close to the man and his mania in a brutal and violent age. Brian Theodore Ralph directs his first play with Gallery Players. Brian is a hugely experienced theatre actor, director and educator who has spent most of his life working in the theatre and in associated media. He spent many years at The Wolsey theatre as leading actor and director, from its opening in 1979 until the early 90s. He subsequently became Programme leader of Performing Arts and Music at Suffolk New College, where he directed many Shakespeare productions. Brian has assembled an exciting ensemble of the finest local actors and creatives for the project, including professionally trained Liam Gregory and Jo Lewis as Lord and Lady Macbeth. ‘For many, the name Macbeth is synonymous with evil and tyranny. But what does Lady Macbeth say when she learns from Macbeth that the ‘weird sisters’ have hailed him …‘Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter.’? She considers his nature to be…… “too full o’ the milk of human kindness….” he is… “not without ambition, but without the illness should attend it”. So what happens, and why and with what consequences? I am so excited to be working with this amazing company and to exploring these extraordinary characters and the chain of events that lead to the play’s tragic conclusion’ The production will be performed in the intense cockpit atmosphere of the Sir John Mills Theatre. The atmosphere will be enhanced by Alfie Harries’ music, which he will play live at each performance.
