MAY & JUNE 2025
Street
by Liviu Monsted
3 - 7 June 2025, 7.30 pm
Australian theatre company Mon Sans Productions returns to London with a new play that addresses the overlooked reality of homelessness.
STREET follows Foster and Miriam, two homeless youths who are used to being left alone and unseen, that is, until their curbside is taken over by Fay and Christian, a mysterious pair who are new to the cruel reality of living on the streets.
STREET is a hard-hitting, confronting commentary on homelessness and social responsibility.
STREET is set to make its UK premiere on 3 June 2025 at the Barons Court Theatre with 10% of the box office going to local homeless charity Barons Court Project.
10 - 14 June 2025, 7.30 pm
14 June, 2.30 pm
It’s been a long summer holiday for the Darling children - time has turned to liquid and make-believe is to be believed. That’s when Peter Pan whisks Wendy and her brothers off to Never Land, where fairies are fickle, mermaids are murderous, pirates are poppycock, and one little boy will never grow up.
The timeless magic of J.M. Barrie’s play is brought to life for audiences of all ages, with ‘90s nostalgia, a spritz of fairy dust, and a clap of the hands. Now, doesn’t that sound like an awfully big adventure?
An Apple Orchard Players production. After this run, the lost boys, Captain Hook, and the other iconic characters of Peter Pan will transfer to Somerset for a magic, open-air performance.
One Hundred Percent
by Precarious Theatre
17 - 21 June 2025, 7.30 pm
In a claustrophobic studio apartment, an embittered failed actor confronts the examiner who once gave him a perfect score in an acting exam - a moment which, the actor believes, destined him for greatness. As tea turns to tension, years of suppressed rage unravel in an unsettling psychological showdown that spirals into obsession, shattered dreams, and a desperate bid for catharsis. Both must now face the devastating consequences of misplaced hope, harsh truths, and lives derailed by ambition in this darkly comedic exploration of artistry, identity, and the human need for validation.
Provenance by Jonathan Skinner
24 - 28 June 2025, 7.30 pm
Ellie wants to get on. Move up. Get ahead for once.
She can't do that on her own, so when she lands a cushy mentorship scheme, she thinks she's finally on her way.
But when Ellie meets her new mentor Patrick, an older artist who hides away painting abstracts in a dingy studio, she's sure she buzzed the wrong flat.
Ellie pushes Patrick to the limit and then some. As banter turns to barbs that cut too close to the quick, Ellie and Patrick find themselves in a standoff of culture, class and secrets.
Jonathan Skinner returns to the Barons Court Theatre (Everything's Brilliant, 2022) with the world premiere of his award-winning play Provenance, directed by Artistic Director Sharon Willems.
Jonathan and Sharon previously collaborated on his play Indignitas for Little Pieces of Gold and the Criterion West End New Writing Showcases.

“Vera, are there any writers that don’t drink?”
“Yes, G., there are. But they’re very boring.”
Meet Vera — a migrant playwright with a pen in one hand and an existential crisis in the other. She’s trying to write a play, but stories, like suitcases, are hard to unpack.
Was it love? Was it limerence?… Or just too much wine?
Limerence is a sharp and soulful comedy where reality wobbles, identity shapeshifts, and home is more a concept than postcode. And here is G., who keeps showing up in her mind - and in her script. A delicate dance between fiction and reality, and the question isn’t just who she’s writing about, but who she’s really writing for.
Inspired by real conversations with Ukrainian, Moldovan, and Romanian immigrants in the UK, Limerence is a fictional play for anyone who’s ever felt out of place, in love, or one step away from a meltdown.
A heartfelt and hilarious meditation on belonging, identity, and the stories we tell to survive.
Cast: Gus Flind-Henry and Inna Cebotari
Directed by Sava Cebotari
A Dark line Upstairs
by Matilde Vigna
8 - 12 July 2025, 7.30 pm
Performance in Italian on Sat, 12 July, 2.30 pm
Two stories are intertwined: a flood in rural Italy in 1951 and a young woman dealing with the umpteenth move in 2021. What does it mean to lose something.? When water suddenly floods your house - and you have to run without being able to chose what to take with you - or when you chose to leave and take everything with you, just because you can - is it the same? What does re-building your life means, in 1951 or in 2021?
The 1951 flood in Italy was the first natural disaster with a national TV coverage - just after the end of WWII. Many Italian people will remember that, but every audience has its own "flood" - a literal one, being natural catastrophes more and more common nowadays, or a metaphorical one.
Kill Drill
by Luke Ofield
15 - 19 July 2025, 7.30 pm
After getting employed on a North Sea oil rig with the sole intention of staging a sit-in protest, Agent One (AKA Dawn), treasurer to the choir, and Agent Two (AKA Kit) an environmental science graduate, find themselves in a perilous situation.
Trapped in a room full of drilling instruments and forced to negotiate, the lines of protest, activism, and terrorism are blurred. With the clock ticking and danger closing in from all sides, is the only option to Kill Drill or be killed?
Award-winning Unmasked Theatre returns with a timely dark comedy that explores if there is ever a right way to protest, the perils of an oil rig, and the improvement in vegan pizza.
The Weirdest Sisters
by Heather Frances Kelly
27 July 2025, 6.00 pm
Don’t rattle that egg encased in your skull, you know your worth. No one can take this from you. . .From us!
In their debut performance of The Weirdest Sisters, Swivel Eye Theatre Company are bringing you a piece of thrilling new writing by Heather Frances Kelly.
Three half-sisters move to London - away from the comfort of the countryside - in the hope of building a better life for themselves. As they begin to set up their new business a competitive neighbour tries to force them out, and their carefully planned life begins to unravel - leading them to face their truths and become what they always truly were. . .
The harder you work. The luckier you get. Right?
Three sisters. One fate.
Through a comedic & dark tale witness a modern retelling - doused in madness and myth - of the origin story to Shakespeare’s most iconic witches.
