Northanger Abbey
by Jane Austen, adapted by Tim Luscombe
Balls and bonnets in Bath with a shiver of Gothic horror in this fresh and lively adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic.
What the Butler Saw
by Joe Orton
An outrageous sexual farce set in a psychiatric clinic; dressing, undressing and cross-dressing, fast, funny and frantic fare from the writer of Loot.
Bus Stop
by William Inge
Snowbound overnight in a small Kansas truck-stop diner, a young testosterone-fuelled cowboy woos an amoral nightclub chanteuse – an American mid-west romance.
Studio
Shining City
by Conor McPherson
A gripping, contemporary ghost story set in Dublin – an absorbing psychological drama, chilling and atmospheric.
Silenceby Moira Buffini
A Dark Ages “road movie”, a journey through a savage England from Kent to Cumbria; intense, poetic, funny and bracingly theatrical.
The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
The classic American drama from the writer of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire – a ‘memory’ play based on Williams’ own relationship with his family.
Christmas 2010
Tom’s Midnight Garden Adapted by David Wood from the book by Philippa Pearce
It is 1950 – quarantined and bored, Tom magically ‘time-slips’ on a nightly voyage to a beautiful 1880s Victorian garden where he meets the lonely orphan, Hatty. A brilliant adaptation of this modern children’s classic.
As well as all these we also have a variety of incoming work including: opera, comedy, music and drama.
