Spectacular, mysterious and bizarre, Edward Gant and his travelling theatre troupe take you into a world filled with extraordinary and gruesome stories of loneliness! A strange, comic and beautiful exploration of performance, mortality, imagination and wonder.

“I could squeeze a bullet between those lips. Point first. Press it between those rosebud lips. Prise it between your pearly whites. Gently. I wouldn’t break a single tooth."
A man and woman wrestle between love and hate, violence and desire. Their words rip and tear at the scars of a tragedy neither wants to name. In the aftermath of disaster, is their love enough?
Tender Napalm is a play by multi-award winning artist, poet, novelist and film maker Philip Ridley. It steers a heart-stopping course through the debris of a devastated relationship.

"Haven't you ever just wanted to see the sky light up and have the wind blow you sideways and the thunder press against your throat?"
Nick and Miranda, marooned in a bedsit in Great Yarmouth, are not your average 17 year olds. Obsessed with The Tempest, Nick plans to conjure his own storm. But he’s missing a vital ingredient. When he comes across a boy called William, he thinks he might have found it.
Premiered at the Bush Theatre in 2007, Ian McHugh’s debut play explores the gap between the real and the surreal and unlocks the magic of human connection.

“What kind of town is this at all? Brothers fighting and lasses peddling booze and two fecking murderers on the loose?”
In the village of Leenane, County Galway, live Coleman and Valene – two wild gun-loving brothers, always ready to rise to the pettiest of provocations and seemingly unbothered by the recent untimely death of their father. Alcoholic priest Father Welsh acts as peacemaker but his interventions only serve to pour fuel on the fire.
A violent, dark, searingly funny comedy from Martin McDonagh, award-winning playwright (The Pillowman, The Lieutenant of Inishmore) and film maker (In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths).

A double bill of new one act plays reimagining two classics of the Ancient Greek stage.
Woman Born To Sorrow, inspired by Euripides’ Medea, is a dark melodrama about a political refugee on the edge of madness, stranded in an alien country, spurned by the father of her children, and pushed inexorably towards the most awful of crimes.
In contrast, The Jezebel Book Group is a riotous farce, retelling Aristophanes’ Thesmophoriazusae. Expect cross-dressing, outrageous innuendo and high camp in abundance, as a misogynist writer attempts to infiltrate an all-female book group.
