TNT Theatre & ADG Europe Presents:

The Life and Death of Martin Luther King

Thurs 2nd - Sun 5th January 2025

TNT Theatre returns to the Golden Goose Theatre after their five star run of Animal Farm & 1984 A George Orwell Double Bill.

“I have a dream.”

Dr King’s Dream fed a nation divided. The Life and Death of Martin Luther King starts in 1955 with a sermon steeped in Love. And ends in 1968 with a gunshot, shocking the entire world.

A small cast brings to life an ordinary man’s journey to inspiring extraordinary change. Playing multiple characters, some where the racial roles are reversed, all supported by John Kenny’s evocative Jazz score.

BootleBird Presents:

Star-Cross*d

Tues 14th - Sat 18th January 2025

Star-Cross*d is a fresh take on Shakespeare’s belovèd tale of two star-crossed lovers. Imagine Romeo and Juliet - but told “from the other room.”

Modern audiences will witness an untraditional plot unfold amid classical surroundings as two embittered relatives scheme to bring about the tragic downfall of their adored cousins to comic effect, whilst believing that success is written in the stars.

By investigating innuendo, disregarding dichotomy, and drawing poetic parallels just that bit closer, this Elizabethan-style script flips tragedy to comedy in a way to depict what we don’t already know about Theatre’s most quintessential portrayal of love.

Springbok Presents:

Hedda Gabler

(this is not bohemia)

Tues 21st Jan - Sat 1st Feb

“THIS IS NOT BOHEMIA”

Soho is no longer a bohemia: pay disparities between queens and kings are staggering, while misogyny and classism run unchecked. The Royal Vauxhall Tavern is closing, biphobia festers, and ‘twink death’ remains an unchallenged trope. Club kid and camp culture have become exclusive to the upper class, chemsex culture continues to spiral, and the shadow of Section 28 lingers. Transphobia, eating disorders, tribes, fatphobia—beneath the surface, it’s all there, restricting the queer community every day.

In 1890s Norway, aspiring to be part of society meant living in a large villa on the edge of town and attending refined dinners. In 2024 London, it means living in a Soho townhouse and frequenting Dalston Superstore 

Produced by award-winning production company Springbok, Hedda Gabler (this is not bohemia) is a provocative reimagining of Ibsen’s classic, reinventing the tragic downfall of its titular character while tackling hard truths within the queer community. Directed by Josh Maughan and adapted by Dan Sinclair, this bold new production asks: does the LGBTQ+ community ignore, perpetuate, or escape the society that surrounds them?

Note: If you are ever in doubt, listen to CPR by Lynks on full volume, smoke a cigarette and text your homoerotic teenage friendship and tell them that you miss them and you should catch-up.

Rat Hands Theatre Presents:

Conjured!

A Conjuring Parody Musical

Thurs 6th - Sat 8th February

It's the one thing nobody asked for: the first ever completely unauthorised, highly-blasphemous, gay-as-hell musical adaptation of the highest-grossing horror franchise in history.

In ‘The Conjuring’, Ed and Lorraine Warren travel to a humble pub theatre in the UK and end up facing their toughest challenge yet, as demonic forces test their marriage and threaten their very souls.

Based on the movies based on the case files of real life paranormal investigators, ‘Conjured!’ is a musical parody summoned straight from the bowels of heck.
