Shakespeare's  TWELFTH NIGHT at Theatre at the Tabard, Chiswick 24 Sept - 18 Oct  Directed by Olivier Award winner Bill Alexander

Shakespeare’s most famous comedy is rooted in tragedy. Within the first quarter of an hour we meet a young woman confronting the horrific possibility that her twin brother is drowned, a young man in an agony of rejected love, and a household servant who believes fate has made him a slave when he should be a lord. The genius of the play lies in how the author weaves these stories together in the music of comedy while the principle characters experience life though the grating noise of tragically unfulfilled desires, self deceit, and constant humiliation. This emotional juggling act could only have been pulled off by a great writer at the height of his power.

The Chronicle Theatre Company is proud to offer its audience one of the world’s greatest plays in a simple, lean and accessible production suitable for all ages and dedicated to clarity, honesty, and laughter.

Author, Composer, Soldier-of-a-sort at White Bear Theatre, Kennington 2 & 3 November

written & performed by Jan Carey

A celebration of the enduring friendship between the brilliant and tragic composer and World War I poet, Ivor Gurney, and Marion Scott, writer and trailblazer of women musicians, written and performed by Jan Carey. It was to Scott that Gurney sent his music and poetry from the trenches. The horror of The Great War, contrasted with his deep love for his native Gloucester, coloured his writings. Yet Gurney's slow deterioration into madness after being gassed at Passchendaele showed that, despite their very different backgrounds, their friendship withstood war, illness and despair, as well as triumph, madness and joy.

Directed by Michael McCaffery, the story is brought to life through the rich material of Ivor Gurney and Marion Scott’s memories, poems and letters, interweaved with some of Gurney’s most loved songs from the recordings of Ian Partridge, tenor and Jennifer Partridge, piano.

The Sea Horse at Golden Goose Theatre 4th - 15th November 2025

Set in a dark waterfront bar of the same name, The Sea Horse is a tender yet brutally honest love story between two hardened outsiders: Gertrude, the tough, guarded bar owner, and Harry, a weathered seaman with a new dream. Their relationship, which has been purely physical so far, is tested when Harry returns from sea with a vision of a shared future and a proposal of marriage. As Harry attempts to break through Gertrude's carefully constructed emotional walls, the play becomes a raw and compelling courtship ritual, filled with fighting, humour, and the painful revelation of long-held secrets. It is a story about vulnerability, the courage it takes to trust, and the profound human need for connection.

First performed in 1974, the play's themes about the transformative power of love remain as poignant today as they were then. Critically-acclaimed and award-winning Director Mandi Riggi is at the helm, bringing this revival of the beloved 1974 classic to a London audience. The Sea Horse promises to be a poignant, heartfelt and earnest night out for London theatre-goers.

LOOP Written and performed by Tanya-Loretta Dee at Theatre503 10 - 29 November 2025

Bex is fucking obsessed! She can’t get James out of her head. In the Peckham party shop where she twists balloon animals for minimum wage, all she can think about is him. The locket her Mother gave to her – the day she started her period – clings like a curse, whispering warnings that Bex constantly ignores. As her grip on reality unravels, Bex circles the same stories about wolves, witches and wanking, each one darker than the last. Will she ever break the loop? Or will she disappear into fantasy forever? LOOP is a chilling psychological folktale that drags us kicking and screaming into the horrors of an obsessive mind. What happens when you can’t tell yourself the truth? What happens when the story threatens to swallow you whole?

Tanya-Loretta Dee’s debut play Loop is a bold fusion of folk tale and horror. A surreal one-woman fever dream, it’s a love story that dives headfirst into obsessive desire, limerence, and the intoxicating pull of fantasy over reality.
